@sunraysunray Can we move?

[Pete D'Alessandro @peteforiowa]

@jmart @playbookdc But here is where the establishment is going to be in trouble moving foward. The “Insurgent left” support is baked into the mix. But as Michigan 13 proves as more black leaders are elected as progressives the overton window will continue to shift within the party.

@LauraRBelin @DCCyclone I was there it was crazy time. Adlai Stevenson had to run for Governor as a third party.

@davidsirota That was a man by the name of Wilson Wyatt, who would have been 91 the. Also, ironically was one of the people who built the party Carville moved away from. Also even though from the south unlike Carville he never worked for Segregationists.

@joshuarolson @Volumiser_AFC @PaulMitchum From your profile you are from the UK. You were blessed with Monty Python, Fry and Laurie, Peter Cooke, Dudley Moore. I had to find them late night on Public Television. And you don’t recognize satire or absurdity? Or maybe I don’t?

@Ollie_XVX Oh, to be fair it was more than just last time this took a solid 6 years of feckless leadership to get to

[Pete D'Alessandro @peteforiowa]

@johndeeth Yep. Time for The Iowa Party to tell them to pound sand and go in the window anyway. Like you pointed out elsewhere NH paid no price for doing so.

@joshuarolson @daveanthony You helped get me through covid and then allowed me to be part of it. Can’t thank you enough for both things.

[Pete D'Alessandro @peteforiowa]

@melton4iowa @shannonrwatts He literally worked for segregationists. Let’s stop listening to him.

[Pete D'Alessandro @peteforiowa]

@joshuarolson Has Scott Jennings talkie with him today?

[Pete D'Alessandro @peteforiowa]

@joshuarolson @benigma2017 It’s because at the end of the day they would rather lose to a uniparty member then work with somebody that would be to the right of FDR.

[Pete D'Alessandro @peteforiowa]

@joshuarolson @benigma2017 They didn’t sell Platner what sold to the 70% who voted for him was what he was saying. Dont let the Shit-libs move our focus away from that.

@alluringmedia @donie lol

@davidsirota @kthalps I was literally going through the races I worked on that flipped Red to Blue and then decided it really would not matter in any real way since it wasn’t a real discussion.

RT @davidsirota: You were literally an architect of NAFTA, Wall Street dereg & bank bailouts, you berated proponents of a public option, an…

A Democratic Socialist born in 1997 just beat a Democrat who first took office in 1997

@johndeeth This is the ultimate Uni-Party take. “We are going to work together to make it almost impossible for Independents to access the ballot in most places, but don’t try to take our easier path we created for ourselves”. Rob has got this one correct.

[Pete D'Alessandro @peteforiowa]

@chucktodd True, but so was desegregation. Sometimes the question shouldn’t be “Is it hard”

[Pete D'Alessandro @peteforiowa]

@joshuarolson I think we have discussed this somewhere but for a movie with so many “stars” in it Copland is somehow underrated.
