@RevolverJerm @_mannys1ngh His policies are progressive.

Idk why people would assume Ohio is difficult to win back. Brown lost by only 4 points, outperformed both Biden 2020 and Harris 2024 in his last election, and his opponent barely got over 50%, and his current opponent was appointed. In a blue wave year this should be "easy".

[Political Polls @PpollingNumbers]

New - Senate poll - Ohio

🔵 Brown 53%
🔴 Husted 45%

Fox #B - RV - 6/1

lol. Lmfao. Zionist lobby has ensured the entire US government puts Israel before the health, economic security, and well-being of its own citizens, but yeah saying our tax dollars shouldn’t murder children is the problem. These people are so evil man.

[Left Brain @LeftBrainStream]

@LeftyWinter Maybe I’m dumb but why are the totals not reflecting this at all?

[Left Brain @LeftBrainStream]

@bluedoggeosh @PinyerdMatt Is the joke that you made an idiotic statement and got called out for being factually incorrect?

[Left Brain @LeftBrainStream]

Yeah it’s not really a DSA or leftist organizing problem, it’s that California is is a massive state with an incredibly entrenched political machine and millions of dumb, dumb, voters.

[quirknky.bsky.social @Quirknky]

Really think people need to research the political conditions of California primaries before takes like this, DSA chapters in California are objectively dealing with some of the toughest terrain a DSA chapter can have electorally

[Left Brain @LeftBrainStream]

Has every candidate Hasan has rallied with won their primary so far?

[Popstonox @Popstonox]

Hasan Piker will join Melat Kiros, DSA candidate for CO-01, in Denver for a campaign rally June 14th

AOC also clearly knows the difference between endorsing a candidate to push them over the edge/give them a strong mandate, vs endorsing someone who's clearly gonna lose (Saikat).

[Mike from PA @Mike_from_PA]

Pretty interesting fact from last nights elections, @AOC / @teamaoc endorsed three candidates: Adam Hamawy, Sam Forstag and Randy Villegas.

All three are on track to win.

Pretty strong endorsement record this year. Hope she endorses more leftist candidates.

[Left Brain @LeftBrainStream]

@noahpasaran Can we maybe fix elections not being resolved for a week in California?

[Left Brain @LeftBrainStream]

@bigsnugga @pissvortex Yeah but that's also what totally delegitimized the movement in the eyes of most liberals and institutions so eh

[Left Brain @LeftBrainStream]

.@Angela4CA will be avancing to face...problematic Dem Jimmy Gomez in the general in #CA34!

[Left Brain @LeftBrainStream]

Ok time for hopium posting for all you despairing Californians out there. Let's start with some GoodTM results tonight:

[Left Brain @LeftBrainStream]

In #CA22 @Villegas_CA22 endorsed by Bernie Sanders seems likely to be the Dem to advance against Republican David Valadeo.

[Left Brain @LeftBrainStream]

Serious question, does having progressives in the state gov make any difference if Becerra is governor?

[Our Revolution @OurRevolution]

Californians have the chance to elect someone who understands that government should work for ordinary people, not corporations and special interests. Throughout her career @JaneKim has been a champion for working families, economic justice, and holding powerful interests accountable.

Those are exactly the kinds of qualities that will make her an excellent public servant.

[Left Brain @LeftBrainStream]

@cwebbonline Congrats on voting for
a useless corporate stooge who will make the state actively worse 👍

[Left Brain @LeftBrainStream]

Fucking coward we know you voted for Beccera despite knowing that he's shit

[Manu Raju @mkraju]

Schiff won’t comment on which candidate he voted for in the CA gubernatorial primary

[Left Brain @LeftBrainStream]

If McMorrow had just never tried to smear El-Sayed and Hasan she probably could have stayed comfortably ahead lol

[Yerrr 🇵🇸 @MaceAhWindu]

I genuinely don’t understand why McMorrow thought going after El-Sayed like that was gonna play well

[Left Brain @LeftBrainStream]

@bernbabybern21 I've never been polled and I voted for him 🤷‍♂️
