It would be easier to take this critique seriously if AES hadn’t acknowledged that he didn’t think M4A was possible to pass from either a state healthcare infrastructure or public support perspective in recent years. Even on his campaign, when pressed on the mechanics of M4A, he gave a ton of ground quickly.
No one in this thread is really engaging in any sort of policy reform challenge. Just takes all the way down.
Hi Matt. I’m more than a little confused by this critique. Even folks who just had a passing knowledge of @AbdulElSayed’s campaign know that his slogan was about 3 things: Money out of politics, money in your pocket & Medicare for all.
Whether you (or other Democrat Senators or anyone, really) disagree with that is irrelevant to the facts that those were the things he explicitly campaigned on.
Do you truly believe that given the above facts, he should simply pretend that is not what he campaigned on? Or, alternatively, that he should acknowledge that despite campaigning on those ideals, he’s abandoning them days after the election because he won by 7 and other Democratic candidates won by 9?
Lastly, I understand you always seem to be focused on maximizing electability and far less focused on maximizing enacting actual reforms, but given your (and others) focus on electability concerns, isn’t right now—literally the furthest out from the next election we possibly could be—the best possible time to raise these issues?
“Centrists… have trouble getting votes.”
Centrists literally outperformed progressives by margin last week. Dude is out here just saying shit.
Congrats on spearheading Zohran, but his political analysis (and now seemingly his ability to do elementary math) have been highly suspect for some time now.
Blockbuster! The Raiders are trading four-time Pro Bowl QB Kirk Cousins to the Vikings for their 2027 third-round pick, sources tell @ringer@netflixsports.
Cousins returns to Minnesota for the playoff push, while Las Vegas turns to No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza.

@dr_muniyappa Literally have been begging for them to trade for an alternative for weeks. Let’s not go to massive pivots to try to paper over JJ being bad or hurt for the vast majority of his time in the league (as I predicted when he was drafted— more the bad than hurt).
