I'm not running for office. But if I were, these are some of the lessons I'd take away from what happened in NY yesterday.
1. Authenticity is measurable. Voters can smell a focus group from a mile away.
2. Endorsements from the current Democratic leadership now read like warnings. The establishment wing of the party is no longer a sword. It's a question mark.
3. Conviction beats caution. The candidates who said hard things about rent, about who pays for what, about Gaza, they won. The triangulators lost.
4. Cost of living is everything. Everything else is wallpaper.
5. The middle is not a strategy. It's an empty room. Voters reached past the establishment to grab someone who actually believes something.
6. Don't fear the base. Court it. The Democrats who ran from their own voters lost. The ones who ran toward them won.
7. If you want to lead a party you have to be willing to fight inside it. Mamdani didn't ask permission. He took the field.
The lesson under the lessons: the country is tired of being managed. People want to be led.
Witnessing all of these democrats who refused to endorse Mamdani lose their seats is truly the most stunning form of justice I’ve ever witnessed. Chuck Schumer you’re next bitch!
IRANIAN PRESIDENT: “If we did not have our defensive missiles, Israel and America would have plowed through Iran the way Gaza was plowed through, showing no mercy to the old or the young. They speak of human rights. It is a great lie.”
It’s a hard truth to hear, but it’s true.
every fandom lowkey freaking out and having meltdowns and idle is currently the main topic on kpop twt meaning they all tuning in for the EP on july 6th so nevies are just chilling, keeps the bots up china and korea to keep em mad
People calling this bots but it literally took them days to gain this. They peaked ORGANICALLY after flopping for days on Spotify because it’s gaining buzz slowly.
Unlike some of yall faves that debut with higher numbers due to massive playlisting.
Let’s be for real 💀
This is the stupidity we're talking about: She got an abortion after helping ban them. Blamed the democrats for the struggle she had to get one. And doesn't want interviews talking about it to be public.
I'LL SAY IT AGAIN:
IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL to charge a "convenience fee" for paying a bill online. The convenience is for the company. The fee is for you.
I-DLE's CROW reached #1 at both Taiwan and South Korea Spotify charts!!! 🎉 🎉
CROW already reaching top on China's music platforms as well!
Congratulations I-DLE!!
<Pay the paper not the people
Always sharpening always learning
At the end connections mean nothing never ever for free>
Did idle's organic success make you cry that hard 😭?
I can’t believe a pre-release like 'Crow' having just 462k streams made Big 4 stans (especially MYs) crash out so hard, to the point of making delusional accusations like broke-ass Cube doing payola. Oh i-dle, you will always be relevant.
i-dle's [We made] EP, out July 6.
