no swing state should be having a primary for a competitive race in august

I think what the evidence actually points to is that the Democratic Party is a big tent with people who disagree about basic policy issues. What unites them is opposition to the conservative view of the world. And they only win when the people in the tent all realize that.

not the first time they’ve waited out a weak president. probably won’t be the last. will we learn anything, or reflect on this as a country in any way? ha ha ha nooo…. not in this lifetime

ATTENTION TO ALL DEM TAX CUT SLOPULISTS

She should do an ad of her housing curds & beer & talking shit on Republicans. No need to mince words

the correct response to an unknown number call is an orbital ion canon strike

holy shit lmao “let’s cut taxes!” “no.”

Could be a hot take but an AES close win might be for the best tbh we were all riding *a little* too high after all of our recent victories. Probably would be good to hit the brakes a little even if the march continues.

The question isn't "did the Trojan horse violate xenia as understood or practiced by the Ancient Greeks?" it's "what happens when we decide that winning justifies breaking our most sacred taboos?"

Unironically this is a good thing. Because outside of party sources going “we have a good feeling here” you don’t get to legitimate a particular result until you have every single data point. Like imagining a count in Makerfield for Burnham last month counted like this primary is maddening

it's only possible bc their constituency populations are so strong but i genuinely think the UK does it right by not announcing any results until they've counted everything

folks this is what Vote Blue No Matter Who actually means we buckle down and beat Mike Rogers in November no matter how this finishes

See Red Women’s Workshop, Capitalism Also Depends on Domestic Labor screen print, London, 1975 ⁠ In 1974, a group of feminist artists founded the See Red Women’s Workshop to address gender issues such as capitalism’s reliance on unpaid homekeeping and childrearing. #IWD #InternationalWomensDay

wild that Spokane is having an election right now, and cool seeing voters are hopefully on track to invest in transit

looking forward to the centrists declaring a massive victory if Stevens lands anywhere from +.01% to -10% and immediately pivoting to Khive nonsense. looking forward to the left declaring they have received the mandate of heaven if they maintain a 3% edge. no one's happy and everyone's mad

if nothing else another big night for the "polling in the no-one-picks-up-their-phone-anymore Era is cooked" take

The rise of the PPP was in significant part about Sindhi capitalists and landlords claiming power in the governmental center.

I remember reading a bunch about early Pakistani state building and the divergence between the somewhat romantic vision of the Muslim League and what actually happened (the "iron frame" of the Urdu-speaking bureaucracy and army took over).
