The polling right after the debate shows Biden is right, it didn't move the needle at all.
What moved the needle is @TeamPelosi smearing Biden on Morning Joe and then rich donors freaking out.
And then of course you were there to capitalize on all of it, right Jake?
All the people who swarmed me in the comments saying if Dems won the Senate, Alito and Thomas would resign the next day, are looking pretty silly right now.
My final pitch for voting for a Democratic Senator:
Thomas is 78. Alito is 76. If we get to 51 Senators, it blocks them from resigning. Then they're in their 80s by 2030.
Every Senator elected gives us a chance to save the nation. I don't care if you like them or not.
@stphil People like you are actively hurting the cause of improving healthcare by refusing to do any real work to try to improve it and instead just throw random attacks online. Sad.
Anyone who believes that they covered up the cancer diagnosis is genuinely dumb, because it would've provided the perfect political cover for him to drop out, while generating a wave of sympathy.
Newly-obtained by @MSNOWNews from President Biden's upcoming memoir:
Biden's radiation treatment ended as doctors stopped further metastization of his stage 4 prostate cancer; continues hormone therapy.
Rebukes those who suggested cover-up of his cancer: https://t.co/lZYaEACsJb
Asshole local governments are retaliating against the voters for approving Amendment 3 by threatening to cut important projects.
Cut your damn staff and salaries and cut the waste at the sheriff’s offices.
Myriad examples have been given over the last six months.
There is no hell hot enough for @jaketapper and @AlexThomp. Their original smear boon flopped, so now they are out writing new ones, to try to piggyback off if President Biden's new book.
Meanwhile we have an actual senile President right now.
Demons.
New in @playbookdc: Then-President Joe Biden in 2024 forgot that Bob Dole, his longtime Senate colleague, had died three years before, @jaketapper and @AlexThomp report in their new edition of “Original Sin,” out tomorrow. On another occasion he seemed to think Beau was still alive.
@PETEKEELEY@Wilson__Valdez Yes. Americans of all political stripes have an extreme reaction to taxes. People hate them much more than any other type of spending their own money. How do you deal with that?
One of my issues with Medicare for All is the the proponents haven't really thought through any of the second order effects. Healthcare is 1/5th of the US economy, and you can't just wave off the massive disruption it would cause. And voters hate disruptions.
So you need a plan.
@PETEKEELEY@Wilson__Valdez This is an unserious response to a serious flaw in your plan, and that you don't realize it's a serious issue is part of the reason I don't take you guys seriously on this.
I feel pretty confident it's not going to be Shapiro. It doesn't matter how many points he won PA by, he codes as too moderate and too pro-Israel. The voters aren't going to back a Hasan style leftist, but things have changed since 2024 and I don't think there's a lane for him.
Why do leftists continually make slogans that sound worse than their idea? Defund the police, abolish prisons, and now land back.
Slogans are supposed to be good PR for your ideas, not bad ones.
do yall actually think land back means booting everyone else off the land and creating ethnostate genuinely when have you ever heard an indigenous scholar arguing for that
We raised wages significantly form 2021-2024 and it did cause inflation.
A minimum wage now would cause less inflation because of how much wages were raised between states min wages and market conditions.
But we need to stop lying to ourselves.
@raskolniko44 The guy who said that Biden was a wimp on the border and said that Trump did a good job there is to the right of the woman who said she views a world with open borders.
His positions are to the right of Hillary Clinton's in 2016 were. I'm fine calling neither of them a centrist, but then you guys need to get consistent on your definition of the word and admit you've been lying about it for a decade.
They’re saying this guy is a centrist by the way
“Socialism for the rich, rugged individualism for the rest of us” is literally a Bernie Sanders line. Word for word, bar for bar
Had a really great conversation with @katz_morris about what he saw this cycle helping with races in TX, GA, OH, AK, MS, and SC
Come for the smart takes, stay for the lessons learned from our respective mishaps...
