As last-ditch campaign Hail Marys go, making a full days’ media cycle out of trying to feign outrage over your opponent (checks story) saying a mean thing about one of the most hated people in the entire Democratic electorate does not seem among the most successful.

Yeah, like, I like Ossoff, but I find it very hard to believe he will overcome both Harris and AOC while also trying to share a lane with Buttigieg. He’s in a much better place just sitting back and being the dream no-brainer running mate for pretty much anyone on the plausible list not named Pete.

Just a truly awful human being. Soulless, valueless mercenary, a pure professional at a job that requires removing all human empathy from your body.

Wow, I can’t believe even fellow Democrats in the Senate didn’t think a charmer like this deserved a cabinet position

Banner day for the dumbest libs you know

“WHAT’S THE BEST THING YOU GOT” has Simpsons-quote-level become part of my vernacular.

Lol the UAW just endorsed Barnes, who is quite clearly not dropping out and is still polling better than Crowley. Hong is going to coast to victory in the primary and this is perhaps going down as the most avoidable sitting-on-one's-own-nuts of the 2026 election cycle.

In addition to Ossoff on the ticket helping with Warnock's re-election, either Georgia is a purple state now or it isn't. If it is, then finding another Dem in a state with 2 Dem senators shouldn't be hard. If it isn't, then it's best to stop planning all policy around a fluke win now.

Democrats planning all future successes around Ossoff in the senate is just as dumb as planning all future successes around Joe Manchin being in it. Plan your future successes around winning more senate seats and then put in the work to do it. Having a good ticket in 2028 helps.

My working theory is Ossoff is actually campaigning for VP, a task that requires far less work and fundraising, and mostly requires him to sit by the phone and wait for the call from any of the 3-4 presidential hopefuls who would have no better option than him.

A possible positive of the "Fetterman just loves attention" theory (which Eoin makes a good case for here) is it makes Fetterman far more likely to do something incredibly stupid and then he gets mocked enough to just cry and go home

The media pays attention to mass shootings because its the only time middle class white people feel threatened by gun violence. We have a remarkable ability to ignore gun murders when the victims are poor and Black, and presumed to be a casualty of criminal conduct, regardless of other factors.

I’ve said it before and I know it comes off as very college bong-rip-y but I earnestly believe America’s true chief commodity is racism. Obviously as a general concept racism exists across the planet, but we are a nation that has truly distilled it and rendered it into a tangible product with value.

I’m genuinely wondering how many elections—in Michigan especially—the Democrats are going to have to lose until they’re willing to be adults and have an adult conversation about how unbelievably racist against Muslims the party is

The five are: Kay Ivey, Mike DeWine, Henry McMaster, Janet Mills, Laura Kelly. Four are leaving office this year, but both Ned Lamont and Marsha Blackburn (if elected) would be on track to enter the top 20 by 2028.

Fun fact: five of the 20 oldest governors in the entire history of the United States are in office right now.

Two of Stevens' largest donors are also among Trump's largest donors. Do you think they just care about a "sensible liberal" in Michigan's Senate seat? Neera and the $1500-per-post Twitter influencers don't care either. They're getting paid regardless.

Trying to drag Stevens over the finish line (and likely failing) will almost assuredly also cost Democrats at least one of Iowa, Ohio, Maine, or Texas from the funds they'll have to divert. This was never about keeping Michigan's seat centrist; it's about keeping the Senate in Republican hands.

Their plan is to say as little as possible and win by default, which in their mind is the safest path that doesn't alienate anyone. This misses the opportunity to galvanize the public around important issues, and then they throw up their hands about how the voters are ignorant and apathetic

No idea why everyone’s worrying about the $50 million in dark money this woman isn’t going to have during the general election like she does now because it’s clear she’s going to post to victory on her natural charisma alone.
