@Jalo731294@ResistanceSean@josecanyousee This isn't a conversation about your over wrought, hyper focus on the Democratic establishment. This is a convo about an unqualified, suspect, extremely problematic white dude in ME. Who's being extended the white male privilege pass...for a litany of sketchy shit.๐คท๐พโโ๏ธ
@DB0ii69@JebFain By the way...pols don't get to officially work on shit...prior to being sworn in, dummy! Because the sitting, mayor, Adams...was the only one with vested authority.
@DB0ii69@JebFain Stop embarrassing yourself, MORON! You can't implement/fund shit out of the fucking ether! Hochul was doing interviews about this shit. Not Mamdani. It was de Blasio's legislation. That she was expanding continually...after securing funding. She stood at the podium, FIRST!
@DB0ii69@JebFain First, that was a Bill de Blasio production, stupid. You think Mamdani passed childcare legislation in 8 days. Spoiler alert...NO! It's a program HOCHUL has been expanding & funding since he left office. She made the announcement here not Mamdani. He was on the sideline.
@mitchbridgeguy@marcyrw@atrupar@GiGicmka In all fairness. I think Manchin believed Biden would govern much more moderately. Bernie/AOC were pleasantly surprised by Biden. Manchin was disappointed. We did get a few things w/Manchin & he never changed party registration on us. I trusted him more on that front than Sinema.
@mitchbridgeguy@marcyrw@atrupar@GiGicmka I'm extremely pragmatic w/politics. I never get caught up emotionally w/individual candidates. I vote on the agenda. So, it doesn't matter who's espousing it. I'm not a rigid ideologue. I understand why border state Dems are tougher about the border. Don't hold that against them.
@mitchbridgeguy@marcyrw@atrupar@GiGicmka Nope, in fact I cut Manchin the most slack. Sinema ticked me off more because she repped a much less red state. I never had ill will towards Manchin. No other Dem would ever be able to win that seat in WV. Even if you got 50% from Manchin that's better than nothing w/Republicans.
@mitchbridgeguy@marcyrw@atrupar@GiGicmka That's true! But, I'm saying since '16...people on the left stopped acknowledging regional differences within the party. There was a time our majorities came by way of the Blue Dog Dems. They irked me plenty but knew it was better to get 80% compliance from them. Then 0 from R's.
@UncleJimmy548@SireRottweiler@JoeGoesGaming Yeah, the OP & many other Democrats like myself aren't ever getting on the Platner bandwagon. So, stop worrying about it & start bringing the fight to Republicans. The GE has already started. By the way...Hillary, Biden, Harris supporters have been waging a 2 front war since'16๐คท๐พโโ๏ธ
@trouble_man90@TampaWoman1965 They're already talking about sabotaging Becerra. They don't give a shit about anything...
if their candidates lose. It's only life & death if it's someone they support. Let them find a fucking time machine somewhere...that's the only thing to mitigate all this damage.๐คท๐พโโ๏ธ
@Julesnader386@davidfrum Republicans haven't even begun to unload their oppo on Platner. Just because you're invested in him doesn't mean older white mod/indie women will be. White voters are the demo that have moved the LEAST away from Trump/MAGA. Surprise๐คท๐พโโ๏ธ...that bodes well for Collins.
@Julesnader386@davidfrum Good luck w/Abdul in MI...white mods/indies AIN'T voting for that dude over Rogers. Abdul's consistently polled weakest of out of 3...except for his own internal polls. White mods/Indies don't give a shit about Gaza. Collins won in 20 w/Biden/Collins voters.
@Julesnader386@davidfrum I didn't think Steyer's a leftist. Leftists told me he was...because he supported Med4All. That was their litmus test standard. If you think it was Gaza...you're not on the same page w/your crew. Steyer's an opportunist...like Gabbard, Sinema, Fetterman, Platner.
@natalie_12308@ronnieboadu@ZaidJilani Raab is pointing out the obvious double standard. White men are fucking coddled in every conceivable arena. Tough shit...if it makes you ๐ฅบ. Black Dems aren't the ones for this BS. Raab's waiting to see what other shit coming out of the closet for Platner.
@Julesnader386@davidfrum So far the left is only moving already blue cities/districts further left. You couldn't even win statewide in Cali. You lost to a REPUBLICAN. Mamdani couldn't win statewide here, either. You hold no statewide power in swing/purple states.๐คท๐พโโ๏ธ
@WonderKing82 Second time Raab's did this with the left. First, time was when he schooled Piker & his audience...about the vital necessity of Black voters in Philly...in terms of winning. Telling them they deserve respect. Now, calling out the obvious double standard...most Black folks see.๐คท๐พโโ๏ธ
@SpreadFacts@WonderKing82 Because Obama wasn't a magician that could fabricate votes. Democratic Congressional members refused to vote for that. He couldn't even find voted for a public option. By the way...
Dems lost Congressional seats & Pelosi the gavel over that supposed Republican plan.๐คท๐พโโ๏ธ
@mitchbridgeguy@marcyrw@atrupar@GiGicmka She told me early on...he had a deadly arrhythmia...that's why he had that defibrillator inserted. Said without...he's dead! Said he lied about having sudden symptoms. Recently being totally healthy & asymptomatic. She said...NO WAY! He would have severe symptoms.
