@TheDuhalde Meh, if it helps sell social democracy to boomers online, I don’t really have a problem with it

[KyleThoughts @realKJO]

@JJ_McCullough Not in Canadian history, but in the broader tradition of parliamentary democracy, a government with a majority even if it isn’t the leading party is incredibly common and not considered at all problematic

[KyleThoughts @realKJO]

@ElliscbIV Tbf, if Maine democrats just announced an open caucus or primary, that would probably solve the problem. I think some people are rightly suspicious that party insiders will just pick their candidate

BREAKING: Hundreds of public defense attorneys in Queens and Brooklyn could soon walk off the job, hampering courts in the two boroughs, after they voted to authorize a strike earlier this week.

People keep acting like Fetterman wasn’t properly vetted, when the real issue was just that his brain turned to mush after the stroke! Can’t vet that

[Basil🧡 @LinkofSunshine]

Morris Katz has had many extremely successful campaigns

But with now a second insane choice for senate he really needs to invest more in vetting lol

@oldconcreteguy @Acyn The revolution wasn’t about taxes it was about taxation without representation. George WASHINGTON sent in the army to put down a tax revolt because some folks had representation and still tried to not pay their taxes

@wardinpal @BrutishOrc @posting_forever The problem with this framing is the strongest enthusiasts for the revolution were new englanders who didn’t own slaves and had little interest in westward expansion.

@chrisoIIey Desperately needs a primary challenge. Can’t stand another term of this nonsense

@AlexTurlais @souljagoyteller French Revolution was hugely impacted by the Americanone though. Many of the early revolutionaries looked to the US as a model

[KyleThoughts @realKJO]

@souljagoyteller I don’t think most cons read him anyway. I find they just liking citing him so they can say their appalling views aren’t actually racist

@MayTheSchwartz7 That winning streak started in Philly this year just fyi. Not going to have nyc stealing the city of brotherly love’s thunder

[Deep Singh Badhesha @DeepNotShallow]

25 mins till the first 7pm drop!! We'll have the LIVE reaction from Melat Kiros's watch party.

If she is up at 7pm, then Melat has definitely won.

If she's only down 1-5%, she likely can come back later and win too.

AOC talks about centrists who created a pledge against socialism

[Ellis Bates @ElliscbIV]

Buckle up for a likely progressive late shift in Colorado on Tuesday.

Colorado and Utah share similar voting patterns, and centrist Ben McAdams saw his Election Day vote share drop by more than 8 points in Utah last week.

Shouldn’t you be rooting for France, Mr. Lorraine?

@MedievalScholar As I am not from the Spanish branch and they died out in 1700....

@JoePostingg @goetz_hal Scipio’s grandsons were probably the last chance to save the republic. Their murder probably killed its last good chance.

Lmfao at this entirely being a cut of her hostile questioning there’s not even a second of his answers in here

[KyleThoughts @realKJO]

@rudnicknoah @Polit_eurOpines He also though was an enthusiastic albeit critical supporter of one of the two main US parties particularly its radical wing (ironically the Republicans)
