A bit opinionated. Love a good debate. she/her

@MsBin117 Its a lot more strategically viable to take over the democratic party. Energise the voter base to vote in primaries and make their voices heard, and move the overton window back to where "people shouldnt die because they cant afford chemotherapy" isnt a radical idea

@sharp_stick_eye @MaceAhWindu When the money dries up.... when america decides to embargo/depose/sanction/prop up a puppet regime.... tomAto tomatO

@dontsippy He didnt wear a suit once and fox news plastered him wearing the apron with nothing underneath all over the TV during the election. He learned his lesson

[Jen @PenName98]

@tagsalegirl @ostonox The problem is trust and credibility. Bernie has great credibility because hes been incredibly consistent in what he advocates for. When butiegeg advocated for a public option we didnt know how much he'd fight for someone else's focus grouped opinion.

@kj_ham @hasanthehun @HasanAbiUpdates As someone from a 0 tolerance alcohol+driving policy, the thought of people drinking at events and then sobering up while driving out of it terrifies me a little

@edwardharris251 @HiddenDragon51 @CallMeDrew____ @Popstonox Im saying mamdani had more influence, im just saying that hasan had a role in it too

Do you think hasan telling his thousands of leftist fans to phone bank had zero impact whatsoever in the election? Thats a little delusional imo and diminishes the impact of culture in politics

[Jen @PenName98]

@edwardharris251 @HiddenDragon51 @CallMeDrew____ @Popstonox Mamdani absolutely played a bigger role than hasan, but can you acknowledge that his endorsement and push for phone banking in the final days of the election also played a role? Because I think its clear it did.

[Jen @PenName98]

@jot_au @Popstonox All those accomplishments, and she couldn't differentiate herself from the VERY unpopular president

No serious leftist thought Trump would be a better president than Harris, but she failed her campaign because her and democrats failed to be culturally relevant and animate ppl

@JACKSON_IS_LORD @Alonso_GD You can dislike it, but as of now claiming asylum is a legal right. If it wasnt legal, they would be able to deport them

[Jen @PenName98]

@edwardharris251 @HiddenDragon51 @CallMeDrew____ @Popstonox How is it delusional to think that in a race that 2k votes made the difference, hasan pushing his thousands of viewers to organise and phone bank wouldnt have helped them win. I think its very sensible.

Most are not saying he's 100% responsible here, just that he played a role.

@mack_a_d00 @Valistryingg Brasil does have other sports - volleyball and tennis are huge, so is swimming. We just have a national cultural pride with football

[Jen @PenName98]

@TJDMCR @DemzDeliver Well... they watch sports and voted for him, which was my only point here

[Jen @PenName98]

@Brockster310 @DavisMattek The breaks in Qatar werent mandatory tho, they were at the refs discretion because it was hot as hell there.

[Jen @PenName98]

@Brockster310 @DavisMattek Even without the ads, the break in momentum and just watching the players drink water for 2 mins is a worse experience for the viewers and the players

[Jen @PenName98]

@thatVEXEDguy @DavisMattek It already has enough money.

Football in other countries grows culturally from kids playing with hand me down balls and flip flops for goals.

If the sport wont grow without corporations specifically pushing for it, then it shouldnt and thats fine.

[Jen @PenName98]

@JimmyPicklez @laurennUTD "Society cant go" can just as easily mean that "corporations wont allow". I dont think it implies people are happy about it, but it does show that people wont make enough of a fuss to stop them (me included, I hate it but we all have bigger fish to fry atm)

[Jen @PenName98]

@thatVEXEDguy @AnnemarieDray I disagree that it is making excuses because I think the discussion about water breaks stopping momentum is so much broader than this game. There are tweets about it breaking the flow from almost every game, and it benefits/hinders someone every time.

[Jen @PenName98]

@HeadOnFire3 @BuzzingPop Im not usually either with the exception for the world cup for that reason. You support your country and the room electrifies in positive patriotism and love for your home when you score. It honestly is the most fun

[Jen @PenName98]

@TJDMCR @DemzDeliver Young men notoriously broke for mamdani in NYC

[Jen @PenName98]

@bigjfreak123 @mylesmill @NYCMayor You mean like the free childcare is already being implemented? And the grocery stores from the 2 locations that have already been chosen (not free btw, just cheaper)
