@ettingermentum He’s been rip roaring as governor for 7 years now and has significantly reshaped the state government’s infrastructure around himself and his agenda. I can’t imagine he would’ve ever wanted to castrate himself by stepping over the senate, regardless of any 2028 implications

@electionsjoe @nikicaga “Has been described as”

The only way one becomes “qualified” to be an elected official is if they popularly elected to that office

Winning elected office by being some random guy with politics that comport with your neighbors is democracy in its ideal form, particularly for legislative offices

[J.J. McCullough @JJ_McCullough]

Why exactly is Graham Platner even considered qualified to be a United States senator in the first place, exactly? I keep feeling like I'm missing something here. Is he literally just some random guy left-wing people like?

@Strife212 @lux I think our brains might also be deterministic

I bet all the branding people across the NFL are very contentful that pride month does not overlap with football season

@alexbronzini His presence in 2028 is going to be undeniable. I don’t know if I’d rather be anyone else at this point. He’s Pete if Pete had Black support. He’s Newsom without the baggage. He’s still just unknown enough to give both libs and leftys a reason to look twice.

@CameronCorduroy I think we’re going to have to get used to that for a little while

@StatisticUrban I guess this is also an issue of Wikipedia’s map thing not being capable of handling so many vectors, but come on now. Can we be real

[I-55 Fanatic @I55Fanatic]

@StatisticUrban This made me want to learn more about Charleston and wtf is this

Very occasionally I get Spotify or YouTube ads that are entirely in Spanish and I don’t understand them at all. How can the targeted ad algorithms fuck up that badly??? Somebody pays for these and they’re being wasted on me

Breaking news, James Talarico has a hot girlfriend. This is apparently a bad news story for him.

[I-55 Fanatic @I55Fanatic]

@ettingermentum If I were them I’d spin the angle that says they’re suspending activities so Talarico AND his staff/supporters/volunteers can watch it. Like it’s out of respect. In the same vein as avoiding scheduling your wedding during college football rivalry weekend.

If I were the pope I think I would be over the endless stream of chicago tchotchkes at this point

@RyanGirdusky @MattWhitlock I think Senate votes are a little more meaningful than Reddit posts. Just a little, though.

Jill Biden randomly deciding in may 2026 to change her story on the debate thing is our version of Melania’s bizarre epstein press conference

@willchamberlain Get a grip lol the Democratic Party is absolutely not “structurally adversarial” to straight white men

[I-55 Fanatic @I55Fanatic]

@DrewSav “I don’t know how we can have a separation of church and state in this government if you have to pass a religious test to get in this government.

If you demand expressions of religious faith from politicians you are just begging to be lied to.”

@adamnvillani @driftless_area This is hilarious lol how many times are you gonna have to explain it

[I-55 Fanatic @I55Fanatic]

I am absolutely certain that JD Vance will not resign the vice presidency
