Drunken Politics

I'm not drunk, just sarcastic. Mostly elections, sometimes science and space. Engineer, bi, cardio junkie, BTFU.

It's hard to find an argument for Collins' electoral strength that didn't also apply for Mary Landrieu, Mark Pryor, Bill Nelson, and Blanche Lincoln.

[Alex @alex_avoigt]

Yes!

@ltthompso By this logic Laura Kelly would never win in KS (or flipped around, Larry Hogan in MD). The Governor in IA also does not directly nominate people for the IA Supreme Court (nor do I think most people care about their state's Supreme Court)

@Mark20178785 @PollTracker2024 Exactly! It's a bad argument but what are you gonna do yknow

[Drunken Politics @drunkelections]

@Mark20178785 @PollTracker2024 I'm shit at wording things, mb. A lot of people currently argue that 2026 is not going to be a blue wave because of the Democrat's unpopularity (despite every other indicate pointing to a blue wave). I'm saying that's a bad argument bc atp the GOP is more unpopular

Republicans accidentally being pro climate for the past year (this and the Iran War) has been one of my favorite bits

🚨 Every Texas House Republican voted against funding for screwworm monitoring.

There are now multiple cases of screwworm in Texas.

@loganb Is this a joke? Why would they distribute a device to help their competitors when they're at the top?

[Drunken Politics @drunkelections]

Utterly insane. People will look at this and say the GOP will do good in the midterms 🤡

JUST IN: US inflation jumped to 4.2% (y/y) in May —>the highest in 3 years and up from 2.4% in February before the war in Iran.

Higher gas and energy prices drove 60% of the gain. Shelter and food (especially restaurants) also contributed. The monthly increase was 0.5%.

Core inflation (excluding food and energy) was 2.9% —>highest since September

[DJ Branham 🗽 @DJBranham]

We must unify behind him. A vote for Collins is a vote for Trump. It's that simple.

CNN: Former Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) was in DC today headlining a major fundraiser for #MTSen independent candidate Seth Bodnar.

@samshirazim Wittman to me has always given off the vibes of one of those candidates that crumble the second they’re in a real race for the first time

@KellyKortum @actblue @AlaniBankhead Bankhead needs to drop out. Unbelievably selfish not to. Follow Nebraska's lead.

[Drunken Politics @drunkelections]
