Took some pictures in and around the Gold Coast and Streeterville in Chicago. Check them out!
Unfortunately, Sophie, it is too late for that.
This is something that I think produces very interesting research questions: Why are people's experiences not aligned with other economic data? I wonder if there is research literature already addressing this question and what it says (I am not an economist and would have no knowledge of this).
Will StancilInflation over the last year has been 3.5%. It’s hard to see how this sentiment can be explained by any “real” economic trend. It appears to be ambient political rhetoric about “affordability” and “grocery costs” filtering over and distorting people’s very grasp on reality.
Holy shit, this is the district that I grew up in and... well... Holy shit. I'll believe it when I see it, but holy shit

This is a video from the NNO event that happened on my neighborhood in Chicago and let me tell you, not one of these people look like they actually live here.
Three things run our government, hatred of women, hatred of black and brown people, and mountains of cocaine.
Ed BurmilaAs I was saying
I don’t know who the guy on the right his but he looks exactly like an AI amalgamation of JD Vance and Stephen Miller
Aaron RuparJD Vance: "We don't want the next administration, whoever -- god forbid you're gonna have President El-Sayed in three years ... "
This is the type of weird online discourse that I can get behind.

Just a reminder of who the real opponent is. Nobody’s won anything yet
Matt Novak“Great news for the Republican Party. El-Sayed, a Communist loser who hates Jews and Israel, is the projected winner in his race with the Socialist.”
I’m glad AES won the primary, but that is all he has done at this point. The distance between winning a primary and winning the general is vast
Nathan GoldwagI'll be disappointed if Stevens wins, but mostly what you should take away from tonight is that the coalition really is divided between factions with lots of genuine support, we can't wish the other side away, and we're all going to have to learn to live with each other if we want to win.
After Tuesday’s primary this is still my take. I am glad that AES won the primary, but that is all he has done so far. The distance between between the primary and general is vast and dancing on the grace of the establishment when we need their vote in November is counterproductive
The Hotdog PopeI think that this is downstream of people getting too invested in primary battles in states where they do not live. If you don’t live in Maine or Michigan, the only stakes that are truly felt by you are the online factional battles.
I feel like this is going to strike some people as naive, but politics is about coalition building, not about proving your ideology more ‘correct.’
Vibecession ForeverI don’t think there’s enough vote for Stevens left but this will be a close result. My hope is that the El-Sayed/DSA/far left contingent don’t get despondent but realize that both factions need each other. It’s time to cut the shit and fight MAGA, not Democrats.
