Lover and disseminator of political (and other) snark, "Love Me, I'm a Liberal"
The Democrats *were* united... behind forcing the GOP to negotiate on health care subsidies through the mechanism of the shutdown. It's you and the other Democratic Senators who caved who are the cause and main target of the current "internal recriminations" but nice try.

My post wasn't to defend the Dems, just to point out that I don't think Schumer and Jeffries deserve equal condemnation in this particular case.

I've been frustrated that Schumer and Jeffries have not been doing a lot more and been a lot more vocal about the current dangerous authoritarian administration and all of its undemocratic and unconstitutional actions but in this case I don't think they're both the same.

Randy Fine is a total embarrassment even for people who also care about that issue and his performative pronouncements are counterproductive to dealing with that issue. He's a disgrace.

Republicans thought they had a permanent hold over young men. They didn't.
Spanberger wins men 18-29 by 14%, Sherrill by 10%, and Mamdani by a stunning 40%.

It is a big-money race already but not on party grounds. The issue is more local: whether to allow casinos and gambling.

Not sure an upset is what is indicated here: seems more likely having two Republicans on the ballot split the Republican vote, which combined is more than the Democrat got. The runoff will provide a clearer picture.

Because in Australia you don't have to vote at only one specified location, people can shop around for the place with the best fundraising food through a volunteer online tracker: democracysausage.org!

Say what?!? Look through this thread - the only one who brought up money here was you. I'm not sure what your problem is but you'll have to deal with it on your own - muting you now. Bye!

The Pritzker family funds many charitable organizations and programs. Go peddle your resentment somewhere else - really not interested in dealing with you any more.

Pritzker is one of the few Democrats who's been calling Trump out on his bullshit. I could not care less how much money he has. I admire the guts of a high-profile governor of a state who publicly says that Trump can fuck all the way off.
