@yarmouthsuper @sethmoulton Google and wikipedia are free you know.

[Macronglazer @EuropeanSocLib]

@BasedIllinoisan Ok mr vagueposter sir.

Mind telling people why?

[Macronglazer @EuropeanSocLib]

@AezzieUwU @ChristianHeiens This isn’t accurate. Generally speaking the US (economic) left is also the most left-wing on culture.

The “defund the police” stuff and whatnot is very much something that has/had broad support amongst the American economic left.

@JeremiahDJohns Platner, Platner and some more Platner.

[Macronglazer @EuropeanSocLib]

@WokeAnnUpdates If Platner wins the primary and then drops out (before mid-july I believe) then ME Dems can just pick some decent vanilla progressive from the gov primary or something.

[Macronglazer @EuropeanSocLib]

@alt_ccc Funniest part is when they (accidentally) actually get elected due to it being a wave election. This happened in Australia with Albo’s landslide I believe.

[Macronglazer @EuropeanSocLib]

@pedrostanchez Didn’t Cunningham’s stuff only leak late in the cycle (October), whereas Platner’s stuff started leaking way before the primary even?

[Macronglazer @EuropeanSocLib]

@dontsippy @LisaMikol3369 You mean reporting on the the many stupid and/or immoral things he has said, written and done?

[Macronglazer @EuropeanSocLib]

@briizml @Gattungswesen25 Rent control is counterproductive. Rejecting it was a rare median voter W.

[Macronglazer @EuropeanSocLib]

@EricMGarcia Talarico winning and Platner losing is a far better outcome than Platner winning and Talarico losing.

[Macronglazer @EuropeanSocLib]

@firebornnn @AnthonyMEmerson It's Platner, of course there's another scandal.

[Macronglazer @EuropeanSocLib]

@lxeagle17 @EricMGarcia Could a partial explanation be that primary voters sometimes consider (perceived) electability and women are (perhaps incorrectly) seen as being less electable?

[Macronglazer @EuropeanSocLib]

@NickyFrank30 That appears to be fake.

[Macronglazer @EuropeanSocLib]

@EwanBen He’s gonna hand the Presidency on a silver platter to Bardella.

That is assuming Melenchon does indeed make it out of the 1st round.

[Macronglazer @EuropeanSocLib]

@Nassreddin2002 Slopulism reigns supreme unfortunately.

[Macronglazer @EuropeanSocLib]

@einstein2004113 @Nassreddin2002 Bait.

[Macronglazer @EuropeanSocLib]

@einstein2004113 @Nassreddin2002 For a centre-left guy? Yes.

For Mélenchon? Not really.

[Macronglazer @EuropeanSocLib]

@Merlinchon @simple_as_grass Some private thoughts should remain private thoughts…

[Macronglazer @EuropeanSocLib]

@AezzieUwU It is true Republicans attack pretty much any Dem for being a radical marxist or whatnot.

However, the degree to which swing voters believe is in part a function of the candidate’s statements, actions, appearance, vibes etc…

[Macronglazer @EuropeanSocLib]

@BeshearStan @TrueSlazac That assumes a firebrand progressive would have won in 2024, which very heavily doubt.
