feeling pretty good about holding my horses in judging the war to be winding down yesterday

i believe you're referring to bobby yelling at pro-war catholic school girls (high school) so to be fair a demographic that prob skewed more conservative than the country as a whole but still

Taylor and Fillmore weren’t but Polk, pierce, and Buchanan def were trying to push for slave power dominance and effectively make the U.S. an oligarchy. Their cabinets prob weren’t as bad as trump‘a tho, I just think they’re the only plausible competition

I spent an hour last night watching a YouTube video ranking every Pokémon postgame

Generally any president from 1844-1860 has a case bc they were all part of a conspiracy to destroy American democracy but it’s not obvious to me this isn’t on the same level as those bc this cabinet is also trying to destroy American democracy

Ok the people saying libs are demanding we vote for Gavin Newsom have at least a tiny bit of a point bc I have now seen a lib demanding I vote for Gavin Newsom in reply to this post

ok it's really not true that wilson created the lost cause, it was the mainstream view in southern academia long before he was doing anything- theres this tendency to make wilson the sin eater for the nadir of american race relations that's very ahistorical

this person has really owned me, a person who doesnt think woodrow wilson was a racist and who also wants gavin newsom to be the president

-governor
-ambitious
-comes to power in time of political dominance by the wealthy
-incredibly comfortable with bigotry
welcome back woodrow wilson

marc elias needs more engagement

if, that is, the outcome of the iranian regime surviving does turn out to be the net outcome

id personally argue georgia just because i do still think abbott is heavily favored despite my bloomerism and flipping georgia will essentially complete its journey to being a light blue state, but if hinojosa does win that pretty much heralds a new party system

yeah it's been nearly a week since there were rumors about him endorsing- if he was actually going to endorse why wait

We’re reaching sephirothposting levels thought impossible

welcome back leon trotsky

is this fucking press conference still going

yes hence why the move is to convince chellie pingree or someone to step in and mills to withdraw but realistically the move is to hope platner ends up a party-line vote because he's probably going to win the primary and nothing that can prevent that is likely to happen

well yeah she isnt really doing that either, but i do think theres definitely a place for hitting him on the tattoo in her campaign- if im her im saying that ill do exactly what he says he wants to do only i dont have a nazi tattoo and shes not doing the first at all and the second only on bluesky

this is the other issue, if mills can't convince a dem electorate not to vote for someone like platner i think she'll have a hard time convincing a general electorate not to vote for collins

i dont think it's bullshit i think it's a data point in a picture that suggests platner is winning decisively, but not by as much as that poll suggests

i will grant you this, we'll see what happens at the three debates between them- i think he'll do ok but if it turns around thats when itll happen

i want you to know i am fully a revolutionary defeatist but for liberalism instead of communism as far as this war goes

well individual polls can be all over the place but the polling movement has shown momentum towards him overall. this is mills' best poll this year and she's still down which is not a good situation for her

now, if you're right, great, i would prefer mills win that primary, but i dont think you are

aside from anything else what would invading and occupying maine do given he's not a governor, surely the ask in that case would be to just prevent him from being seated in the senate

that is what polling suggests, indicating that mills needs to either change her strategy or drop out in coordination with someone else better able to defeat him

also he literally just said we have won but we need to win more

going by polling, they do not need to do that, because he's going to defeat her

liz holtzman is a deep cut (society if jacob javits had just dropped out)

It also looks like the U.S. is still demanding an end to the nuclear program, which, good luck with that one

i dont think anyone is proposing to stop them, it's whether they be protected from competition from businesses using more efficient technology (which, if they give us democratic senators who insist on that protection, im ok with)

Your response to this has been to say yeah well it was unequal for black people at the time, which literally everyone here agrees with, so I’m really not sure what we’re doing here
