the fundamental problem is we need everyone who ostensibly caucuses with the democrats to get anything good done at the federal level, because every member of the gop is at their core actually fucking evil. so many folks ignore that fact because of their gop-voting family/friends/neighbors etc

that team also had a qb who did not believe in completing forward passes as well, the similarities are unmistakable

the shame is that this was apparent in nov 2024, and yet it appears that americans 12 months didn't realize that a vote for donald trump meant you got donald trump as president again

i think it's multiple factors mostly revolving around general "loss aversion" of their perceived community, be it the current traffic of their route, current restaurants/stores, or the general look of their neighborhoods. think property value folks tend not to go, or at least speak, at these things

something appreciated by yimby's, and why the ideas have become fairly popularly in the mainstream nowadays, is how genuinely radicalizing it is the first time you go to one of these and see the deranged busybodies that speak, spending their lives attempt to prevent any change in their communities

fwiw "white majority" is a practically impossible for dems in the current partisan alignment, getting >42% nationally generally portends a good result

i hate that it happened because i'd rather have not had trump as president from 2017-2020 and 2025-??, but the fact that the only positive non-pres cycle the gop's had since 2016 is 2021 is a silver lining of a consolation prize. as always, fuck james comey forever for helping open this pandoras box

a politician (and more importantly their operatives, i.e. the ones you tend to see on tv) can be an electoral winner while doing a shitty job for their erstwhile customers of their constituents/voters, whereas in sports the goal is to win so when you don't do that consistently you're rightly hated

it's wild that a 70+ year old donald trump doing....whatever he does is the way to turn out low propensity voters, but his insanity has helped dems out a ton whenever he's not on the ballot

it's a shame that this totenkopf tattoo scandal hasn't led to platner immediately flatlining in the polls and suspending his campaign, but these campaign maneuvers and him and his allies rather horrendous crisis comms suggests to me that he'll get at best a meek 2nd place in the maine dem primary

he's still the same type of right wing populist he's presented himself as since 2015, just that now he's been able to consolidate the entire GOP apparatus into a personalistic regime. Populism is mostly about blaming a 5th column for the ills of a country which is an apt description of trumps appeal

it was an annoying, tortuous road but also kinda what i expected from ugliness that is intra-ny dem politics. think taking this path was fairly easy for hakeem as well since zohrans been the prohibitive favorite for a while so his faction of ny dems can extract a pound of flesh before endorsing late

Dont care about the building, but rather the fact this asshole can do this pretty much unannounced and nearly half the country thinks it's great because *he's* the one that's doing it, and we should raise a fuss since a lot of normies who would otherwise find this gross dont realize it's going on

the people of maine appear to like her enough to vote her in as gov, and we need a plurality of the dipshits that vote in that state to pick that lame fuck instead of the horrendous piece of shit Susan collins, who the dumbasses in that state also appear to love
