If Steyer loses I won’t be mad at him. I will be mad at all the CA progressives that keep sitting on their asses, tweeting all day, and never voting. Just pathetic. Younger voters are the biggest demographic, yet they make up just 8% of the electorate on the recent Berkeley poll

I need everyone with any modicum of influence in the Democratic Party or prominent progressive organization to drill this into their skull: “It's a DC myth that the swing voter is a hyper-engaged centrist that writes for the Washington Post. The average swing voter is very much a heterodox moderate — some far-right views, some far-left views. And they don't really care that much about politics. They don't trust people very much. They think that politicians are in it for themselves. And they generally vote for whoever makes the economy the best and whoever has the least chaos in their opinion. So that group overlaps a lot with young voters. It overlaps a lot with Hispanic voters. It overlaps a lot in general with the types of low-propensity voters that Donald Trump has gained a lot with. …[A lot of] these people don't care about politics when a presidential election is not on the ballot. They don't even know a special election is a thing. They barely know a midterm exists.”

Sure… Vegas is “dead.” Meanwhile, inside the Bellagio Conservatory — packed every day. Here’s the reality people don’t want to admit: Vegas didn’t die… it filtered. Post-Covid, they let anyone in just to survive. Cheap rooms, chaos, TikTok fights, people crying about $20 water in the desert. Now? That era’s over. Prices went up. Vibe cleaned up. And the people who can actually afford to be here showed back up. If you think Vegas is dead… you’re probably just not the target customer anymore. And judging by the crowds — they’re perfectly fine with that.

In case you missed it, Zohran Mamdani went to Rikers to observe Ramadan with the incarcerated who are often forgotten or neglected by elected officials. New York City elected the right man. ✅️

Square by that time merged with Enix and decided to go on a new route and took out turned base combat because it was outdated and by that time turned based combat was losing popularity , FFXII may not be the best FF but it wasnt that bad either

land value tax is the most elegant policy nobody talks about. tax the land, not the building. suddenly there’s no penalty for building up, no reward for sitting on an empty lot, and the parking crater becomes more expensive to maintain than the apartment building it’s been blocki

I gotta be honest especially after visiting Maine and talking to people I don’t see Janet Mills winning anything. Seems like both sides really don’t like her.
