Neoliberal scum, well-paid establishment shill, tribeca mom, inter alia.

A challenge with the current media/political environment is the lifetime NPV of the way Pratt ran might be higher than if he actually earnestly tried to win in a very blue city in a blue wave year:

The progressive position, apparently, is that we should emulate the politics of a corrupt authoritarian narcostate because the voters like the gal at the head.

[Alan MacLeod @AlanRMacLeod]

Claudia Sheinbaum has approval ratings of between 70 and 80%, thanks to her progressive policies which have lifted over 8 million people out of poverty.

So of course the @NYTimes finds some reason to attack her.

They hate her because she shows what can be done.

[Bill Bartley @RatAlt64]

@Isari301 The same reason why Gen Z everything sucks so hard, a deep obsession with aesthetics

[Bill Bartley @RatAlt64]

@atlanticesque I'm basically this person and will likely vote GOP again one day. Just not today.

[Bill Bartley @RatAlt64]

@shanewallick + prefer conservative Supreme Court

[Bill Bartley @RatAlt64]

@shanewallick Same + would vote for Susan Collins

[ShitlibSupreme 🇺🇦 🇹🇼 @ShitlibSupreme]

There has never been an intelligent single issue voter.

@ErishaAnn I have no lipas left to give

You have to realize that we’re reckoning with a Reddit American and they can withstand cringe unlike any other class of being

[Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine]

You can be a tattooed, deep-voiced, "manly" combat veteran who also goes to therapy and shows up for his neighbors. Those two things go completely hand-in-hand.

And I think it's important to have people who can show that, instead of a vision of masculinity that's hardened, shut off, and angry.

D-Day commemoration, Omaha Beach, June 6 2024

Zelensky arrived, the crowd applauded. And then this happened:

🇺🇸 veteran: You’re a saviour of the people

Zelensky: No, no, you saved Europe

🇺🇸 veteran: My hero

Zelensky: No, you are our hero

@trouble_man90 I believe his post history suggests he had come around to progressivism long before 2024.

[Bill Bartley @RatAlt64]

@ResistanceSean But that's precisely the point. These people want the random moron they picked up at Walmart. That's what Trump is, at least in how he speaks.

[Bill Bartley @RatAlt64]

One lesson from this primary season is that Democrats absolutely do not deserve the Senate, which probably means they have a decent shot at the voters giving it to them.

[Bill Bartley @RatAlt64]

Voters are horrible people

[Acyn @Acyn]

“He’s the best candidate by far. And probing into the minutia of his personal relationships when you don't do that for any other candidate is ridiculous”

@tolstoybb It's an honest day's work.

[Bill Bartley @RatAlt64]

@rieszspieces Leftists don't really like to say this but they think the Trump style is optimal and seek out populist low-character analogues. It's a demonstrably durable archetype to voters, who generally demand filth

[Bill Bartley @RatAlt64]

@mattyglesias The issue with this is eventually you get a crop of politicians who take advantage of this and say "look at all these phony politicians that promised you X and then did the same old classic horseshit. I'll do the REAL slopulism you demand"

Arguably that's how we got here, no?

[Bill Bartley @RatAlt64]

@J_fassler Fortunately, if we need to have one, the 2026 autopsy will have progressivism written all over it
