im kind of inclined to believe it just by virtue of the fact that as someone who definitely knows a lot of under 35s, and also hears what people are saying in both the hard left socialist spaces and more normal young dem type spaces, you don't hear a lot of praise for her

ok my hunch here is that mills is polling best among seniors, which means people on fixed income, plus northern maine, which is the poorest part of the state

rose @breadnrosie.bsky.social · 16h

the most polarized one i see is age. also the only part of the state mills beats him in is northern maine which is also the poorest

rose @breadnrosie.bsky.social · 16h

yes

rose @breadnrosie.bsky.social · 16h

rose @breadnrosie.bsky.social · 16h

Pete Buttigieg endorses aid restrictions to Israel, Seth Moulton is running away from AIPAC at full speed, Mallory McMorrow says it's a genocide, meanwhile Cory Booker says that asking if Netanyahu is a war criminal is unfair.

What the hell is happening? I take a stab at it in the piece below.

Democrats Are Getting a Brutal Lesson in How Much the Politics on Israel Have Changed

From Pete Buttigieg to Gavin Newsom, party bigwigs are finding out the hard way that the old platitudes don’t work anymore.

New poll: UNH finds that November’s ballot measure in Maine that would greatly restrict mail voting, and impose voter ID, is *very* tight.

It’s 49% no, 48% yes. scholars.unh.edu/survey_cente...

One of the most suspenseful elections on November 4.

btw if you care about the senate race (from any direction) you should be worried about this. it will make voting here much harder.

if you're in maine sign up for a gotv canvass shift at saveabsentee.me/events/

Power Map @powermap.bsky.social · 19h

Whatever this poll means, its clear: Democratic voters don't want the same corporate candidates, they want something new.
