Pragmatic idealist. Emphasis on the latter, infused with the former. And out.

@LeroyF82630477 @PrestonMitchum McDuffie served as Ward 5 councilmember for over 10 1/2 years and as at-large councilmember for 3. JLG has so far served 5 1/2 years as Ward 4 councilmember. Experience and openness to new ideas both have substantial value.

@lelajen93020439 @maustermuhle Please let's be thoughtful not simplistic.
Rank Choice Voting ensures that voters' preferences among all candidates on the ballot get counted. In a 3-way race, a candidate with 37% can win. That's what you're endorsing. Whatever contributed to delays needs to be fixed.

@MiguelWard1_ Do you have need for volunteers at the polling locations tomorrow?

[DennisJaffe @DennisJaffe]

@MiguelWard1_ I did, tho I didn't know it was your birthday. Also texted you about my landord clamping down on tenant organizing outreach efforts. I'm president of the tenants association in my building.

[DennisJaffe @DennisJaffe]

@notsyllytyler Can you share here or by dm who the Green Team candidate is -- and who the two "progressives" are who donated to them? I'm not up on that. Thanks.

[DennisJaffe @DennisJaffe]

@MiguelWard1_ Congrats on defying the inside baseball chatter on who's ahead in the race and on safeguarding the voters' right to choose the nominee June 16. Thanks to your effectively leading the campaign for ranked choice voting in elections, the results today reflected the people's voice.

@Zuk_DC @czapary That recklessly distorts truth. Jews can be loyal to Judaism, support Palestinian self-determination & not be a zionist. I am Jewish. I love Israel more for what it can be than what it is. Israel's killing of 72,000 Gazans demands forceful condemnation by all, especially Jews.

@SteveKornacki @SteveKornacki Great analysis throughout the night. Great questions you pose. I gotta ask don't you think Malinowski voters -- would coalesce behind Mejia? But Way's besting Gill is impressive.

[DennisJaffe @DennisJaffe]

@GregCaseyMA @NY1 Look at the numbers. Look at his two victories. Seems more than a few aren't suffering from constipation. Look at his victories this way, Greg: He won even with all the jingoistic attacks on his being a Democratic Socialist and the spewed hate for his being a Muslim.

@APompliano @NYCMayor Do you tend to assume most capitalists, elected as chief executives of municipalities/states, whose agendas resemble each other rule similarly and yield similar results? I don't accept as valid your assertion that Mamdani's proposals mirror those implemented by Maduro.

[DennisJaffe @DennisJaffe]

@dashlane Do you still offer support on X? I don't see the dm icon.

[DennisJaffe @DennisJaffe]

@dashlane I have been a premium customer for 12 years. *Today I received a subscription promotional email that definitely appears to be from you. It offers a discount. But, very oddly it ends today -- and isn't hyperlinked. It doesn't make sense to me. Can you dm me? Thank you.

[DennisJaffe @DennisJaffe]

@MazMHussain @DongJohnsonIV Do you have a value judgment or an inkling of one to share?

[DennisJaffe @DennisJaffe]

@katiebrennan_32 @ewarren @JasmineForUS @BoldProgressive For Jerseyans, that's helpful to get $ to you, or interest in your campaign. Outside of NJ, they are less likely to care anyway. If Jerseyans don't know you're running in Jersey, then you're losing interest of 80% of those who see your ad.

[DennisJaffe @DennisJaffe]

@katiebrennan_32 @ewarren @JasmineForUS @BoldProgressive I would encourage you, especially for ads, to make clear is Jersey. I enlarged Jersey City, so I got it. But I'll bet the % of tweeters who do that is below 20%.

I'm looking to connect directly with a journalist covering Kilmar Abrego García.

I stumbled upon info that I think refutes drug trafficking/gang allegations about him. I've not found it reported anywhere in context. #freekilmar

[DennisJaffe @DennisJaffe]

@PamelaBrownCNN I stumbled upon information that I think refutes allegations against Abrego Garcia, not reported anywhere. It may well explain ICE's "clerical" error. CNN's tip line extension not working.

@JStein_WaPo Your post is valid, esp w Black & Hispanic working-class men. But it ignores history! White working-class men largely went R for president in '68, '72, '80, '84 & '16. It didn't start w Harris. See "Reagan Democrats." Economic + social issues https://t.co/jMevhvB7Zr

[Jeff Stein @jstein_notus]

Staggering class realignment/shift in working class

Harris lost DESPITE major shift of affluent voters her way

2020: Trump wins voters over $100K, 54-52
2024: *Harris* wins voters over $100K, 54-45

2020: Biden wins voters $50K-$100K, 57-42
2024: *Trump* w/ voters $50K-$100K, 49-47

2020: Biden wins voters under $50K, 55-45
2024: Trump massive improvement w/ voters under $50K, 49-48

@rmslim I believe it's owed primarily to: 1) White, Hispanic, & Black blue-collar males feeling economic struggle & who are more conservative on social issues -- trans stands out; and 2) Voters 18-to-30 who were turned off by Biden and didn't tune back in as much as they did with Obama.
