The political media is visibly chafing at the current situation, where Republicans are glaringly awful, fucking everything up, running deviant candidates everyone hates, and Dems are just being normal & winning. The force is out of balance. They are viscerally eager to go after Dems about something.

Honestly trying to remember the last major issue the right pushed that wasn't based on some type of bigotry and I'm coming up blank. I mean, obviously pre 2016 there was a lot of "lower taxes" kind of stuff, but there has to be something since then? Just can't think of any.

This is just pure racism. Republicans objectively are campaigning on little more than bigotry.

hey @electdemocrats.bsky.social pay attention, this is how you do it instead of pledging to 'protect girls sports' if you negotiate on republicans' terms, you won't sway voters: they'll see you as a half measure and vote republican anyway but you'll suppress your own base turnout

Yes, I get that some people show up in your Facebook and X feeds to say, "I am a life long Democrat, but after what [Dem candidate] said about supporting trans people I am going to vote for [GOPer who is an absolute piece of s**t human being]," but those people are all lying to you.

If you can't even bring yourself to say *this*, you have no business running as a Democrat and we should work to find a different candidate next time around. Even if you're the incumbent. bsky.app/profile/besh...

1/2 Will confess that I no longer give to candidate campaigns. There are a number of reasons for this: 1. Lack of certainty how much $ will go to candidate. 2. Lack of certainty that whatever does go to a candidate won't end up in their Leadership PAC and be used on vacations & luxury items.

2/2 3. Uncertain I'm not just paying to help them win a job that's just fundraising for themselves. 4. Constant, systemic lack of willingness by candidate's (and my) party to actually attempt to tackle the things I am giving them money to do.

I see a lot of candidates running on anti-corruption messaging this year, which is good. But I don't see many (if any) specifics about what they'd do in an overhaul, so my assumption is that the theoretical overhaul is not something Dems are all that serious about enacting.

The New York Times describes this as a “Republican rift over Ramaswamy’s attack ad.” But this does not fully grasp what is actually happening, because we are not witnessing a “rift,” but an abyss; A vast, yawning, gaping moral abyss in our politics. charliesykes.substack.com/p/we-stand-w...

People don't vote to punish. That's just not a thing in the head of anyone but people making excuses. The Dems have overseen decades of policies that saw workers increasingly abandoned for the PMC who were allowed to take over the remaining institutions. Dems were either complicit or incompetent

Seems crazy to say in 2026 because it doesn't *feel* better day-to-day right now, but: the way society treats people who are LGBTQ. Not even close to what it was when I was a kid and a young adult.

Over the years I have come to believe that the majority of upper-middle-class white liberal pundits honestly assume they cannot possibly be racist because they are liberal, but in fact very much are.

My rule of thumb used to be, "replace whatever group they're denigrating with 'Jew' and read it back to yourself out loud and see how that sounds," but honestly I think "You support this? You want more Jews in positions of power?" on mainstream conservative outlets is just around the corner.
