This is silly, considering that the financial gulf between even a multimillionaire and a billionaire is arguably wider than that between me and someone living under a bridge.

This is the narrative that Democrats are helping to promote. Lindsey Graham was no more a moderate than AOC (who won't receive similar "mod" credit from her own party). I mean, Graham was the senator from South Carolina. You don't hold that office through moderation.

This is deliberately obtuse. Democrats actively raise money on the premise that Republicans like Graham are an active threat. They shame voters who don't turn out for them specifically because it's an existential threat when the GOP gains power. Sharing "nice memories" minimizes that message.

What’s bizarre to me is how centrists/moderates blame Sanders for having supported a candidate who later shifted hard to the center — thus, holding positions more in line with moderates/centrists. If Fetterman had always been this way, moderates/centrists would love him!

MAGA sentiment had been building since the Tea Party. Even without Sanders, that would've been hard for the Democratic establishment at the time to beat. Hillary Clinton, with her ties to the 1990s, was in a challenging position for the electoral moment.

I admit my personal interest in Christianity begins and ends with JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, but my understanding is that when Judas is discussed, the primary focus is on how he betrayed Jesus and everything he claimed to believe. There aren't books of the Bible devoted to Judas's good points.

I think @owillis.bsky.social has pointed out that Biden wasn't great about self-promotion, and his strongest supporters want to blame everyone else for this clear failing. Life is not fair. You have to sell yourself

And of course she hit Obama over Jeremiah Wright.

Clinton seized on Obama’s “bitter” comment — taken drastically out of context. (Ironic given her “deplorable” remarks in 2016.)

During a debate, Clinton suggested a questionable link between Obama and William Ayers of the Weathermen — just a “concern” you know that this would make it hard to beat McCain.

The “Black voters are the base of the party” mantra kicked in with the 2016 primary but in 2008, when Clinton lost Black voters decisively to Obama, she and her surrogates questioned Obama’s general election viability with white voters.

In April 2025, Mills had 52 percent approval (similar to Harris's performance the year prior) but the disapproval was strong and growing. I agree that she clearly didn't want the job.

Sanders made a bad choice but I don’t think he’s so influential he can take out a sitting gov by more than 50 points

It's not that remarkable: Those "traditional, sane, center-right institutionalist voters" all fell in line and are fully MAGA! Scott Jennings is but one of many examples. The Biden era was best chance to change direction but the normie Dems were defeated by a radicalized MAGA

The 2016 primary would be an example of Republicans falling in love and not falling in line. Trump was arguably as disastrous as Platner. The voters just didn’t care. GOP primary voters nominated someone who was trial and indicted for serious felonies over Haley and DeSantis

Haley Stevens insists on campaigning for Senate in 2016 not 2028. It just seems insane to keep declaring your support for a two-state solution while openly aligning yourself with a government that makes clear in both words and deeds that it’s opposed to such a resolution.

This warning would carry more weight if Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, and actual insurrectionist members of Congress had hurt the GOP politically in 2022/2024.

I think @robynelyse.bsky.social will have fun with this one.

I think this issue is that Gillibrand doesn’t see Cruz as an enemy. She would never be this chummy with El-Sayed if he wins the MI Senate race.

This was the same day.

I keep seeing this argument from people who think *Jill Stein* cost Clinton the election in 2016. You don’t actually want a public divorce. You want a world where the Left remains the down low booty call — still answering the late night calls but not publicly embarrassing you.

Flake represents the entire moderate GOP scam, as he voted to kill the filibuster to put Gorsuch and later Barrett on the SCOTUS and he ultimately voted to confirm Kavanaugh to a lifetime seat on the SCOTUS despite the charges against him.

I don't like the gendered "HR Lady" term, anymore than I did "Karen," but I do think it's important for liberals to take the backlash seriously. HR has a bad reputation and not simply bc of sexual harassment suits.

James Talarico spending the summer clogging every artery in his body to prove he’s not vegan reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Jerry has to eat mutton to impress his carnivore girlfriend. I hope Talarico is putting most of the sausage into his napkin.

Beto never led a single poll against Cruz. The momentum was mostly vibes. Liberals were freaking out when he was just a single point behind, not a point ahead.

Maybe the Democratic Party needs to close for a while for repairs, like Wally World. “Sorry, party’s closed for woke repairs. Moose out front should have told you.”

John Fetterman thought it was a good idea to advance this guy's nomination. He claimed someone would have to do the job but the Senate can demand that person not have a personal vendetta against more than half the country or is, well, mentally stable. That's the whole "advise and consent" thing.

Hilarious and fitting that partisans from both the left and right wing still hold a grudge over Stewart/Colbert's "Rally to Restore Sanity" from 15 years ago.

It's weird how many right-wingers live in a Bizarro World where they are perpetual victims and everything is slanted in favor of their unworthy enemies.

What is the mathematical end game if you go to "war" with a wing of the party that is demonstrating this level of support? These aren't Jill Stein numbers.
