Very underdiscussed on here just how pathetic of a campaign Andrew White ran. He's the son of former TX Governor Mark White (from the 1980s), and did nearly win the Dem Primary for Gov in 2018. His strategy before dropping out was to get Indys to vote in a Dem primary for him

Okay last time Ill discuss Gallego’s twitter posts, but is sending me that he knows this about Gunther Eagleman (generic fascist account) and replies with this half the times Eagleman replies to him.

What do you feel like are the most underrated animes out there? For me, it'd be Golden Kamuy and Land of the Lustrous.

we have gone through to a mirror universe where instead of the government not caring about twitter because it isn’t real life, it doesn’t care about real life because it isn’t twitter

I don't have much hope of it actually happening even if/when Dems win back power, but is nice to see one Dem politician bring it up

Gallego has been posting about Trump's war with Venezuala.

I know that we were going in this direction, but still feels completely unreal that its actually happening. That we are invading another country. Just surreal and sickening.

Why cant some people just admit they’re wrong on a really small thing, and end up doubling, tripling, quadrupling down, which makes them look far dumber than if they just admitted to being wrong.

Omg first #blueanon post I've seen this year!

Has there always been a new moral panic of the month in the past, pre-Trump, or is that a more recent phenomenon?

Happy New Years

Had no idea who Brigitte Bardot was, but considering she’s an old French Woman, was not surprised whatsoever at the anti-Muslim bigotry. Was super surprised at the homophobia and antifeminism though, considering that she was a French actress.

Yeah it is certainly possible Israel will cozy up further to Russia or China but it should be emphasized that the Israelis will never get a sweeter deal than what has been given from 1968 to today by the US. There is not and never will be a replicable *ideological* commitment from any other country.

How Assembly Dems in NJ did in NJ-07. They narrowly won district-wide.

The 2002 Newark Mayoral Election — a contest between incumbent Sharpe James, seeking his fifth term, and one-term Central Ward Councilman Cory Booker — was a historic battle that pitted the longtime Boss of Newark’s political machine against a reformer seeking to end his reign.

I got an oil change for my car the other day, and there were some other problems that needed to be fixed (brake pads). I told them I need to discuss it with my family first (meant my dad because he knows cars), and he said, “I understand, go home and discuss it with your wife”

Once a show or piece of media is done, completed, has nothing more to tell, how long does the fandom last? Like when do the posts of fanart, theories, thoughts, and insights grind to a halt?

Why does a candidate, who ran in 2024, have a black and white picture as his Wikipedia picture?

It’s the scale issue again. Online it feels like one House seat is like, your little neighborhood. There are at least 50,000-100,000 “persuadable” or “soft” voters and also a Dem base in safe district in the 200,000 range. You are not doing mutual aid for that many people.

for the record, one reason why mutual aid in oldhead years (e.g. Tammany Hall) and in new years (e.g. Brian Stack in Union City NJ) worked is because of low voter turnout. This made the number of voters a candidate needs to win swayable via mutual aid. When voter turnout increases or the scope

Playing Suzerain really does make you hate your left-wing critics as the incumbent government. Just always complaining, complaining, and complaining when you're doing your best to fix a broken country and you get killed at the end for it.

Rewatched a little bit of the Digital Circus, and somehow forgot that Pomni said that the last thing she remembers was putting on a headset before entering the digital circus.

Whether you like it or not, Kat is making an honest attempt at recreating the Brian P. Stack machine (go google that guy) without the corruption. That is very effective at beating carpetbagger allegations, fostering a sense of civic pride, and gaining endorsement leverage up *and* down the ballot

wow, if only literally every other developed country in the world had done some version of universal healthcare, then we might have some information to work off here. As it is I guess we're just flying blind.

Merry Christmas to you all!

alright! so! let's go district by district. secure.actblue.com/donate/bring...

bari weiss saw this and decided that she had to hide it from the american public

It becomes very easy to stick to a consistent workout routine when you're unemployed and still live with your parents, who could've known this.

one thing i have found is that some people come to my tiktoks asking me to provide esoteric truths and get frustrated when my answers are much less exciting

Zohran Mamdani scares the ADL more than these guys and I think it's fair to ask why

Which is better, beard or a clean shaven look?

Trying a clean shaven look for a little while.

Just watched the new Knives Out movie. It was excellent, but was it just me, or did Cy remind you of someone very specifically?

Reagan was bad. I think a good thing to remember about this stuff is that most of the guys around Reagan thought FDR was as evil as I think Reagan is, but they still worked to sell Reagan to the public as the true inheritor of FDR's legacy rather than a repudiation of it.

i have said this before but if you are actually interested in influencing people beyond a narrow circle of too-online journalists you will be making direct to camera videos on tiktok, instagram and youtube. if you primarily post on text-based social media then you're just dicking around.

Sometimes have seen "What's wrong with Staten Island and/or Long Island", but have never seen anyone ask "What's wrong with Northeast and South Philadelphia" or "What's wrong with Bucks County".

I miss Primary School more than some dead relatives. How am I supposed to know about the Dem Tea Party

Really enjoy the people in the comments who don’t realize people in fact do switch their votes like what happened in 2024 and then in 2025 and that in a red leaning state you do in fact need to win over some Republicans

I'm legit at the point of considering Russia invading Ukraine to be one of the most fascist actions in post-Industrial Revolution history because of the incredible amounts of inflation, especially with energy costs, that the invasion caused

it's just a great example of the ability to drive the political narrative--even when out of power!--instead of just responding to the latest A/B 30-second ad testing

it is quite scary how effectively Candace Owens' absolutely bugfuck anti-semitism is spreading

Okay, despite Crockett having much higher name ID, the fact that its still this close means she can still lose the primary.

31-19, wow it was not close at all.

Someone said I looked like Ben Shapiro today.

Ok I thought this phenomenon was a joke about people (tbh I've only ever heard it about men) to make fun of how much they're into anime, like a schoolyard insult type "if you love anime so much why don't you marry it" This is a real phenomenon???? That includes the PM???

hey, I'm someone who participated in Occupy Wall St. & protested the Iraq war. you may remember me from being impressed with me in middle or high school. now that my rebellious credentials are established, let me tell you about the greatest threat to the people today: pronouns.

Saw this on twitter, think you’ll like it @magentab.bsky.social

Bruh, Brad Lander’s twitter account got hacked
