Your face is good. I am a Soos.
For the record, here is Neera Tanden, president of CAP which has now effectively become a dark money lobbying group for Stephens, pretty much just admitting she is doing exactly this.
This is insane. Stephens does not have actual support, she has $50 million in outside money trying to knock the anti-war, anti-corporate candidate out of the primary. Blue MAGA centrists don’t care at all and are openly willing to throw this election because a twitch streamer annoys them.
People are saying “well what are you expect Bluesky to do, block access instead? They’re running a business!” Yeah, so is Pornhub. And now half the country can’t use it because they’ve chosen to protect the rights and safety of their customers. Who’s the better business here?
Another year, another YES OH GOD YES TIME FOR THE BULLSHIT THE BULLSHIT PART OF THE GAME IS HERE YES I AM READY TO ENTER THE BULLSHIT PORTAL
If I was any Democratic campaign I probably wouldn’t want to be associated with a woman who has half the names in the Epstein files as LinkedIn connections but here we are I guess
Not worth more links but as you can expect, he is responding sarcastically to the multiple, MULTIPLE replies pointing this out because it is literally centrist Democrat political strategy to openly insult and deride the most active and rapidly growing faction of your party.
This is a former staffer for two Democratic presidents and the leader of a major Democrat PAC smugly declaring Bernie Sanders—who to be clear has never even been a member of the DSA—is the leader of the DSA.

Thank you Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced for adding this new vital gameplay and immersion element: “upgrade the whores”
Fun fact: there is an unspoken clause in Article I that infers if your last name starts with "La" you can not run for election in a normal way and must be incredibly popular with a niche group of weirdos
"Woke sociopath" is my favorite type of specific Guy On BlueSky.
What Platner’s campaign wants is not to personally pick the replacement, but a promise that a replacement would support the same policies that an overwhelming majority of the electorate supported in the primary. I know this because THIS IS LITERALLY WHAT THEY FUCKING SAID.
This. 100% this. For an entire year, screaming “fuck him, he’s a Nazi” has worked exactly zero times in stopping this guy from becoming the Democratic nominee, and Lord grant me the confidence of the mediocre Bluesky poster who insists it will somehow work now.
Again, by “the folks who got us into this mess,” John Fetterman’s former chief is staff is referring to the 71% of Maine Democrats who liked Platner’s positions enough to vote for them in the primary. The Democratic Party establishment is salivating at this rare opportunity to ignore them.
Again, by "leftists," they are referring to 71% of Maine Democratic voters.
This isn't a selective search. This is literally the first thing you see searching for her name on here right now. This election truly broke brains in the worst possible ways
There is possibly no example more perfect of the "Democrats would rather lose to Republicans than win with leftists" argument than Nevada in 2024, where this quite literally happened, and the combo of this poster's name and confident ignorance in not realizing this is just chefs kiss dot GIF
