Biden had a whole host of consumer protection and junk fees initiatives that included banking, airlines, hotels and utilities, entertainment tickets and more. At the time the media and the left basically ignored these initiatives or called them insufficient. Trump either rescinded or prevented most of them from going into place.
@linamkhan (literally the same person who worked for Biden) is implementing a similar playbook with Mamdani at the local level and the left is crazy about it!
It’s the vibes theory of politics, time and time again.
some of these progressive operatives who came up in deep-blue areas basically don’t believe Republicans exist.
They don’t understand how many millions of people in this country are just truly actually very conservative. Or they think Rs are really just secret progressives who are disillusioned with corporate Dems. They don’t believe Rs exist because they didn’t grow up knowing any.
As soon as the team became aware of the rape allegations against Graham Platner we advised he suspend his candidacy, and in the following days worked to wind down the campaign.
Like so many of his supporters, I’m deeply disappointed.
Graham Platner isn’t just our best and only chance to beat Susan Collins, he’s a good, decent man who’s struggled and grown and is always trying to do better.
I hope everyone with reservations takes a little time to get to know the real life version of him, not what the algorithm throws in our faces. Clearly, that’s what so many people in Maine have done - from all different walks of life and political persuasions.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce donated more than they spent on their wedding. They held their wedding at a union facility. They’re both union members. They’re both Liberal/Democrats. The online left are a fucking bunch of performative self-righteous imbecilic fools.
If the organizing principle of young progressives remains "the Democrats are to blame for the things Republicans have done to us" I'm pretty sure we're screwed.
