The last 24 hours I lurked on Twitter more than anytime since I quit it, and one thing dawned on me - I think there are a lot of libs who actually just enjoy "the fight" .. there is something cathartic about dunking or replying to a conservative making a dumb point, and you obviously lose that here

My personal benchmarks for the midterms: Net < 3 senate seats: failure, I will never believe a poll again Net 3 senate seats: disappointing since it probably locks us into 40 years of Alito/Thomas replacements Net 4 senate seats: mission accomplished, no complaints Net 5+ senate seats: nirvana

I always thought it was a bit exaggerated that dems were afraid of mail voting this year and tbh it does seem like it. Obviously some of it has moved to IPEV but I don't think people are THAT scared of Trump postal office shenanigans.

So funny that he's using chatgpt to write his defenses on Twitter too

What would Cenk be doing differently if he WANTED El Sayed to lose?

Damn, who could have seen this one coming?

NEW: The group behind Cornel West's 2024 ballot push was wholly funded through Elon Musk's dark money network, according to Sludge's review of tax documents. readsludge.com/2026/10/26/m...

I don't think Ossoff is actually built like that either tbh

I genuinely believe this era of the Democratic Party is on its way out, though - that we may soon enter the Ossoffian Era of Consequences.

More people on Bluesky should think carefully about engaging with small I'm-not-voting accounts that become more active after Labor Day in an election year. They're not trying to win the argument, they just want to have the argument and boost visibility.

Guys this all kayfabe, neither of them care about any of you or anything.

Hope it was worth it @billmaher Trump also mocks Maher for forcing his audience to laugh at his bad jokes — guess Trump’s right about something after all🙃

Alright Bluesky, give me one other candidate to donate to besides Peltola. I'm thinking Troy Jackson?

AdotSad@adotsad.bsky.social

I was going to ask Bluesky who it be worth donating to this late and came across this

Need some people to come out with takes that Lula winning proves Biden would have won if he didn't get forced out by george clooney

Alaska and Ohio electing Democratic governors but ticket splitting for Senate is super counterintuitive when the Democratic Senate candidates are the biggest electoral overperformers in their states. This is a message from non-doomer AdotSad.

This isnt an attack on the OP but so much of this stuff is selective outrage built by social media hive mind. Hamilton said there are only two genders and that it be unfair if his teenage daughter had to compete against biological boys. Talarico said less and got annihilated for it here.

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

Acton is routinely called a transphob on here for basically the same thing. People were actively saying she should lose.

I just want people to realize how much social media warps perceptions. Nothing changed about Talarico or Acton's positions or their opponents. But the consensus here is no longer rooting for them to lose. We've moved on to Turek this week.

Per @Wil Courtney of @AKNewsNow, Mary Peltola and her family sustained minor injuries in a vehicle accident Saturday night, according to her campaign. On medical advice, Peltola will reschedule upcoming campaign events in Fairbanks and Bethel for later this week as she recovers.

and every one of these anons is like the deputy undersecretary for FEMA actually making political decisions while the "respectable" Republicans publish magazines that nobody reads
