It’s amazing how leftists are totally deluded on the issue of electability. Current Affairs had an article claiming moderates aren’t more electable
Henry Cuellar: Won a Trump +7 district by 6
Jared Golden: Won a Trump +10 district
Mary Peltola: Won statewide office in Alaska twice, outperformed Harris by 11 on the margin in 2024
Joe Manchin: Got 61% of the vote a year Obama lost by 27 then got reelected two years after Donald Trump beat Hillary by 42
Meanwhile, Democrats ran a Medicare for all progressive in a suburban swing district in 2024 and Mondaire Jones was one of only three Democrats to lose a district Harris won. In 2020, Ilhan Omar underperformed Biden by 16 in her district because 9.5% of voters cast a protest vote for the Legalize Marijuana Now Party. 4 years later, Omar only underperformed Harris by six because the Legalize Marijuana Now Party took pity and didn’t field a candidate
This isn’t debatable. The most conservative Democrats are the best performers in general elections and the most left-wing Democrats perform the worse.
This is also true for Republicans, incidentally, but in the opposite direction. JD Vance only won his Ohio Senate race by 6.5 after a pro gay moderate won the same seat by 25 and 31 in the two previous elections, despite Ohio being more Republican for Vance than it was in Rob Portman’s day
@AJEnglish If Israel wanted to commit a genocide it would've been done by now. An actual genocide doesn't pause through a deal like you are suggesting. A genocide is specific intent to destroy, no deal can remove that intent to destroy.
Hamas has announced that it has agreed to a deal aimed at fully ending Israel’s genocide in Gaza, which has inflicted death and destruction on the enclave for nearly three years.
Here’s how the world and the key players have reacted: https://t.co/ZC6wQcdzKT
TO THE GOVERNMENT OF SPAIN!
I am calling for a 2 State Solution! Al-Andalus as a state next to Spain as a state! If you deny this solution, you will be classified as a human rights violator!
The GOP is spending 3 million dollars to help Hong win in Wisconsin. Imagine being such an awful candidate that the opposition wants to go against you.
Imagine being such an awful candidate that the opposition wants to go against you. 🤣🤣
Maybe you should focus on the lack of democracy in the UAE and your country’s support for a genocidal militia in Sudan, and let European democracies do their own thing.
Sheesh, these Emirati ‘influencers’ and their racist, Islamophobia-inciting BS.
@mehdirhasan This is rich. Mehdi criticizes the UAE, Israel, any country with Western Democracy. But NEVER Iran. I wonder where he's getting his money from....
@aurumsplash@pod_luq@socialistadri After killing 1200 of their people, mutilating them, taking 250+ hostages you want them to give them food and thank them??? You're insane. You know if your family was attacked you wouldn't give the attackers food. Israel has zero responsibility for Gaza they left that place 2005
@aurumsplash@pod_luq@socialistadri Fair enough. But do you believe the victims? Direct survivors have come forward to authorities and media to report being sexually assaulted on Oct 7, though direct firsthand testimonies remain rare because the vast majority of victims targeted by sexual violence were killed.
@aurumsplash@pod_luq@socialistadri Does Israel have a right to respond and defeat Hamas? Or should they have just waited around for Hamas to Attack again and let the hostages die.
