This is an all-time great Trump quote lol

-the mayor (Zohran) is so nice and smart
-hey I could do socialism even better!
-I had to sell free enterprise, that’s even tougher to sell!

LOL

Trump on Mamdani: I would be better than him if I wanted to go with that route. Ladies and gentlemen, you will no longer pay rent. You no longer have to pay interest on your mortgage, and no longer gonna have to pay for food. I'm gonna give you free food

@mags_mclaugh What’s the deal with the California State Board of Equalization and why should we elect Samuel Sukaton?

[Left Brain @LeftBrainStream]

@RevolverJerm @_mannys1ngh His policies are progressive.

[Left Brain @LeftBrainStream]

Idk why people would assume Ohio is difficult to win back. Brown lost by only 4 points, outperformed both Biden 2020 and Harris 2024 in his last election, and his opponent barely got over 50%, and his current opponent was appointed. In a blue wave year this should be "easy".

[Political Polls @PpollingNumbers]

New - Senate poll - Ohio

🔵 Brown 53%
🔴 Husted 45%

Fox #B - RV - 6/1

lol. Lmfao. Zionist lobby has ensured the entire US government puts Israel before the health, economic security, and well-being of its own citizens, but yeah saying our tax dollars shouldn’t murder children is the problem. These people are so evil man.

[Left Brain @LeftBrainStream]

@LeftyWinter Maybe I’m dumb but why are the totals not reflecting this at all?

[Left Brain @LeftBrainStream]

@bluedoggeosh @PinyerdMatt Is the joke that you made an idiotic statement and got called out for being factually incorrect?

[Left Brain @LeftBrainStream]

Yeah it’s not really a DSA or leftist organizing problem, it’s that California is is a massive state with an incredibly entrenched political machine and millions of dumb, dumb, voters.

[quirknky.bsky.social @Quirknky]

Really think people need to research the political conditions of California primaries before takes like this, DSA chapters in California are objectively dealing with some of the toughest terrain a DSA chapter can have electorally

[Left Brain @LeftBrainStream]

Has every candidate Hasan has rallied with won their primary so far?

[Popstonox @Popstonox]

Hasan Piker will join Melat Kiros, DSA candidate for CO-01, in Denver for a campaign rally June 14th

[Left Brain @LeftBrainStream]

AOC also clearly knows the difference between endorsing a candidate to push them over the edge/give them a strong mandate, vs endorsing someone who's clearly gonna lose (Saikat).

[Mike from PA @Mike_from_PA]

Pretty interesting fact from last nights elections, @AOC / @teamaoc endorsed three candidates: Adam Hamawy, Sam Forstag and Randy Villegas.

All three are on track to win.

Pretty strong endorsement record this year. Hope she endorses more leftist candidates.

[Left Brain @LeftBrainStream]

@noahpasaran Can we maybe fix elections not being resolved for a week in California?

[Left Brain @LeftBrainStream]

@bigsnugga @pissvortex Yeah but that's also what totally delegitimized the movement in the eyes of most liberals and institutions so eh

[Left Brain @LeftBrainStream]

.@Angela4CA will be avancing to face...problematic Dem Jimmy Gomez in the general in #CA34!

[Left Brain @LeftBrainStream]

Ok time for hopium posting for all you despairing Californians out there. Let's start with some GoodTM results tonight:

[Left Brain @LeftBrainStream]

In #CA22 @Villegas_CA22 endorsed by Bernie Sanders seems likely to be the Dem to advance against Republican David Valadeo.

[Left Brain @LeftBrainStream]

Serious question, does having progressives in the state gov make any difference if Becerra is governor?

[Our Revolution @OurRevolution]

Californians have the chance to elect someone who understands that government should work for ordinary people, not corporations and special interests. Throughout her career @JaneKim has been a champion for working families, economic justice, and holding powerful interests accountable.

Those are exactly the kinds of qualities that will make her an excellent public servant.

[Left Brain @LeftBrainStream]

@cwebbonline Congrats on voting for
a useless corporate stooge who will make the state actively worse 👍

[Left Brain @LeftBrainStream]

Fucking coward we know you voted for Beccera despite knowing that he's shit

[Manu Raju @mkraju]

Schiff won’t comment on which candidate he voted for in the CA gubernatorial primary
