@ettingermentum This is just fucking brutal Jesus

[Andrew @AndrewCurtice]

We look absolutely awful man

[kicole nidman @ferald_gord]

it’s ok to admit that platner hoodwinked you. there’s nothing shameful about wanting to believe in a candidate who was saying good things.

that being said, it is incredibly shameful to continue to believe him after he has been proven to a really bad guy.

[naomi @lachancenaomi27]

I no longer support Graham Platner fyi

[Joe @electionsjoe]

I said it to Eric Swalwell, and I'll say it to you: Drop out. Now.

[alex 📉 @alexbgervais]

Drop him from the ballot. Run Troy Jackson. This is disgusting.

@davidslosttt data from https://t.co/cxGnLua6v0 is frying me man

[Andrew @AndrewCurtice]

@davidslosttt Dems had a path forward after 2016. That path is much much much harder after 2024

[Andrew @AndrewCurtice]

defence this term, and most of our offence comes up moot.

[Andrew @AndrewCurtice]

(1/2) I see serious similarities between 2018 and 2026. Dems have a strong performance in the house and on the generic ballot, but come heartbreakingly close in the majority of the senate seats we're challenging. Nothing much changes in the senate, but since we aren't doing much

[Andrew @AndrewCurtice]

@PollTracker2024 just drop out man

[Andrew @AndrewCurtice]

@ElxMapping dems have a solid, but not incredible night. likely lose the senate and win the house around 228-207

[Andrew @AndrewCurtice]

@davidslosttt new mexico 🤦‍♂️

@DjsokeSpeaking In trying to appeal to everyone she seems to have appealed to no one

[Andrew @AndrewCurtice]

@DjsokeSpeaking The polling I’ve seen recently (even with GE polls that are bad for Abdul) have shown she’s actually the weakest GE candidate. I think she doesn’t excite progressives in the state like Abdul does, and isn’t normie dem enough to get centrists to vote for her

God he just has it man

Mamdani: There is a term so often used to describe our nation and those who have shaped it: American exceptionalism. 

American exceptionalism, the conventional wisdom tells us, makes our freedom a little more free, is how we dug the Erie Canal and irrigated the West, is why children in far away lands grow up dreaming of one day moving here.

And yet the irony is that the story of America has so often been written by those who were told by others with power and influence and wealth that they were anything but exceptional.

For generation after generation, we have been told that when the world has sent its people to our shores, it has not sent its best. It sent Puritans and Sikhs and Quakers and Muslims and Jewish people who were banished for praying the wrong way, worshipping the wrong Gods, angering the wrong people. It sent peasants and serfs from who were treated as less because they hardly owned clothes, let alone land. It sent immigrants for whom power was something someone else had.

We are told that America is exceptional because we are richer, stronger, more powerful than everyone else.

The truth, my friends, is that America is exceptional because here, nothing is fixed into place. The frontier may be closed, we may have walked on the moon, but the work of fulfilling the values first enshrined in the Declaration of Independence-that work endures, my friends, and it belongs to us all.

It belongs too to our newest Americans, those standing here with me today, all of whom were recently naturalized. Nearly a decade ago, I too felt what you feel— the joy of no longer being just a New Yorker, but an American too.
