@itstreenut@MariamaJames13 The voters have agency. Just because someone runs an ad in a place doesn’t translate into any reliable data
They also have bullshit detectors. Republicans had new bullshit that wasn’t detected, Dems had their old bullshit everyone already hates. Look at approvals for both today
@itstreenut@MariamaJames13 You’re once again demonstrating that you’re confidently incorrect on a topic about which I am authority: my own actions and beliefs
Despite this repeated occurrence, I’m to trust you elsewhere? Sure, buddy
@itstreenut@MariamaJames13 I am a lifelong voter in deep blue Massachusetts. In 2024, I voted Green for the first time bc I couldn’t co-sign support for genocide. I also knew Dems would carry Mass regardless of my vote, which they did
@itstreenut@MariamaJames13 Delusion dishonesty? From me? Per usual? We’ve not interacted before today
Your last tweet was polls are clear, now it’s polls can be manipulated by phrasing. Does it depend on what observation of mine you’re attempting to refute?
You’re the arbiter of what Americans think?
@itstreenut@MariamaJames13 How dare people have principles, right? Don’t they know their betters in party leadership know best? People shouldn’t ever want more, but especially during periods of in-your-face injustice. We *need* to compromise with Nazis /s
@itstreenut@MariamaJames13 Immediately before this moment… In your mind, they ended up with three branches of government because of a fickle electorate deciding in a vacuum that they were cooler? Or did the voters decide that the ‘good guys’ in charge before weren’t very effective at fixing things?
@itstreenut@MariamaJames13 Exit polling doesn’t capture abstainers.
Now do the polls of actual progressive-supported legislation (ranked choice, M4A, etc) in those same places without the stench current rancid-status-quo-supporting, corporation-fellating iteration of the Democratic Party attached
@itstreenut@MariamaJames13 You think that the people currently in power, ineffectively according to the voters, should not be resisted during primary season?
And I’m the one coping? Lol
@RaptorBreath@billybrizzle420 100% this. This is either a test for you to fail, or an opportunity to ingratiate yourself with the money people, which might mean you end up with less oversight down the line and them an inclination to believe your side in any story (worth way more than an extra week’s wage)
@itstreenut@MariamaJames13 If she moderated to the left instead of trying on Repub-Lite, we’d be in the Harris admin right now
I know people like you describe, and they want Dems to lose insofar as Dems occupy all space to resist Repub then simply do so poorly
Marco Rubio was confirmed 99-0. People mad
One great lesson from this primary election cycle for Democrats should be that incumbents are not entitled to their seats, and they should start to fucking govern accordingly.
@SpacerSentinel@eternallyRaq We’re largely in this mess bc, having yielded to Obama in ‘08, 2016 was Clinton’s “turn.” The party pulled strings to make it so, then lost because the flavor of the election was ‘the status quo sucks’ and she was one of its most visible maintainers.
This play rarely works out
@Drunknnn@streetmediatv How would I get my legal settlement for deprivation of my rights if I waive them because the state agent in the process of violating my rights asks me to?
@MariamaJames13 During the election, “they see [leftists] as the enemy but see Republicans as people they can work with” was also true.
She wanted Rs in her cabinet. Campaigned with Liz Cheney. You don’t see your own logic in these decisions? Or you do and don’t want to accept it?
