@YIMBYLAND Chicago next please!

[Paul @PaulInTheLoop]

@mnolangray He needs to win because elected need to see that YIMBY is a path to higher office, not an impediment or even neutral.

@questionableway Man school board seems like it'll be really bad for them, but I guess we'll see.

@maxtmcc "I'm YIMBY except when you don't build 100% affordable housing and by build I mean not in my general area"

[Paul @PaulInTheLoop]

@_daneiel_ @DrewSav they have no reason to, map heavily favors them and the inmates run the asylum which doesn't allow any distance.

[Paul @PaulInTheLoop]

@MattZeitlin No. The main barrier is just time and attention, and a small side of incumbency concern for primaries if their districts change constantly.

[Paul @PaulInTheLoop]

@DrewSav Ohio leads the Republican way while Virginia tried but became another example of the asymmetry. Dems need to take this seriously with 52-0 in CA and mass redraws lined up for 2028.

[Paul @PaulInTheLoop]

@Prezidentzkronz @DrewSav Look to Ohio for inspiration.

[Paul @PaulInTheLoop]

@pasta_nachos You will never win in a lot by lot fight, because people are inherently change averse. It's human nature! You break the doom loop by electing politicians who will unlock our city through broad legislation and changes.

@Wilson__Valdez Covering up for Trump 1 is the worst thing everyone did and pretended was some noble act. All they did was teach people that Trump wasn't REALLY that bad

[Paul @PaulInTheLoop]

@ponderingpodob @DrewSav Tbh, this exact argument was just as strong in 2018! And similar arguments in 2022, and 2024! What's different in 2025-2026 is his refusal to buck the line.

[Paul @PaulInTheLoop]

@DrewSav Encapsulation of Dem-R dynamics on bipartisanship

[Paul @PaulInTheLoop]

@NikkiCatania Thank god the flu has no effect on a soldier's ability to do their job or this might be moronic.

[Paul @PaulInTheLoop]

@DuPageCountyGOP Please, yes

[Paul @PaulInTheLoop]

@Eric_Erins Permitting is a huge deal, so hopefully that's next to be done.

[Paul @PaulInTheLoop]

@drunkelections It's definitely a real race, people are unreasonably dooming after 2024. Husted isn't some uber-candidate, although he's probs better than Moreno. Environment balances this to be a more favorable race than 2024 for Brown, but we'll see whether he can seal the deal.

[Paul @PaulInTheLoop]

@peterawolf Excited for when there is a jewel or marianos downtown. That was a factor in me choosing other more convenient grocery destinations.

[Paul @PaulInTheLoop]

@BlueBoxDave Yes, big supporter. Once done there, plop him in ME for the next 6 months.

[Paul @PaulInTheLoop]

@DrewSav could benefit Collins in particular, but it won't be a mass turnout device. That was always a silly narrative, partisans were gonna rally around something at some point.

@pasta_nachos This is any humans. See opposition to brownstones and Eiffel Tower - we're a status quo biased species!
