Can’t be a looks problem cuz you got that down and can’t be an intelligence problem cuz you’re a whiz. Maybe it’s just a “we’re not ready for someone as awesome as Sky” problem?
BREAKING NEWS: In a late night post on the app formerly known as Twitter, King Nebuchadnezzar has endorsed Andrew Cuomo for New York City Mayor
I absolutely hate when I have to give it to Gavin Newsom
Newsom: They did not expect California. They did not expect all of you. They thought we were going to write an op-ed, have a candlelight vigil, maybe do a rally. They poked the bear and the bear is poking back
He’s a beloved figure in American politics according to every poll, despite the fact that in many ways he was a disappointment
The key to shattering one’s pretentious myth that Obama is unpopular is to visit literally any household of a older Black woman.

There will be a picture of Jesus Christ, Martin Luther King Jr. and Barack Obama
the brain poisoned ultraliberal left twitterati convincing themselves Obama is a failed, unpopular president is wild honestly
really not looking forward to four years of this being sourcelessly cited as the reason he doesn't do something that people want as opposed to the completely normal constraints of the mayorship that, like, 300 people online know about

President Obama called Zohran Mamdani on Saturday — praising his campaign and offering to be a "sounding board" into the future.

Obama said he was invested in Mamdani's success beyond the election on Tuesday.

"Your campaign has been impressive to watch," Obama told Mamdani.

Bernie made some big steps forward on immigration and social justice in 2020 and unfortunately seems to have backslid to his old self from there, time to retire man

If the Christian is not helpful... to the least of these... then the entire premise fails

I feel relief wash over me in an awesome wave
If by some miracle Cuomo won or makes it close, I don’t see any intelligent argument for how Zohran could have run a better campaign. His discipline, messaging and organizational leadership has been outstanding.
Given that he crapped the bed in the primary and his campaign has not changed at all, I don’t see why or how Cuomo even comes remotely close to winning. Republicans hate him for Covid and most Democrats hate him. Combine that with the general shift against Dem Party leadership and he’s toast

It's stewardship season, and I do budget stuff at church.

I need to say, this is simply not possible.
If you want government level service (and we do) you need professionalized systems and MONEY to fund them.

Charity is a supplement to taxes, not a replacement.
Indiana's Christian nationalist Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith says "it's not the government's job to feed people" and so tens of millions of people losing SNAP benefits because of the government shutdown represents "a great opportunity for the local church to step up."
The poll that came closest to predicting the primary had Zohran with a double digit 16 point lead
This seems extremely plausible to me as a final result.

can someone make a supercut of johnson saying he doesn't know anything
Raju: Last week, you were very critical of Biden, you said he didn’t even know who was pardoning. On 60 minutes, Trump admitted not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire guilty of money laundering. Is that also concerning?

Johnson: I don’t know anything about it.

I have to believe these people don’t actually believe in God because if they did they wouldn’t be so cavalier with such blatant blasphemy.
Add a dose of propaganda to your morning coffee.. This smells of Russian-like “special operation”
And I don't even believe that the Democrats should run as DSA'ers or Zohran Mamdani's or Bernie or AOC in all places. I'm in favor of a liberal/left coalition (historically its the only one that's advanced American liberalism and widened the social safety net) but running back the 1990s is foolhardy
On no planet do the Democrats simply do the Keir Starmer approach (meaningless victory with rapid right-wing lurches designed to appeal to the mythical "swing voter" and somehow make it work here when it's been a disaster for Labour in the UK!

This argument from Klein is total nonsense.
The swift destruction of the country by Trump and co. that we are witnessing right now is the result of NOT "growing the tent" in all places, of being highly selective and methodical in places you need to win while also centering your base support. They have done the opposite of what Klein wants! /2
It is even more insane and infuriating to suggest that the Democratic Party do this when the GOP ran on an explicitly far-right, nativist, and Christo-fascist campaign, fully embracing its most extreme elements, and managed to achieve a trifecta in the federal government. /1
I do not understand this line of thinking. It truly baffles the mind to have a political orientation entirely focused toward "winning" when you have absolutely no coherent or coherent public policy vision for the country once you win.

The Democratic Party doesn’t need to move left or right, it needs to get bigger, our columnist Ezra Klein writes. “That is the spirit it needs to embrace. Not moderation. Not progressivism. But, in the older political sense of the term, representation.”

Democrats do not just need to win more people. They also need to win more places.

It’s pretty remarkable watching a major news network coddle the feelings of the US President like he’s a child during a high stakes 60 minutes interview
Between what came before and what happened tonight, Dems ought to treat encounters with CBS reporters as presumptively hostile and untrustworthy. A small thing, but there’s no way out of this disaster if the party continues helplessly submitting to unequal treatment from ~all mediating institutions.
