Anyone who endorsed Graham Platner needs to have a tall glass of shut the fuck up on who should be his replacement.

Over 136 Democratic House incumbents have won their primaries. DSA gained 4 seats in New York, Pennsylvania, and Colorado. Don’t get too excited, your ‘takeover’ is being overhyped.

[Opie 🚂 @showmeopie]

The last Democratic President passed the biggest climate bill in history and then leftist organizations and people who were supposed to care about climate change pivoted to Israel and Gaza and helped elect Republicans again. That’s why you don’t hear about it anymore.

Thank you for saying the quiet part out loud.

This isn't about literature or history. It's about using public schools to spread the gospel to captive students.

That's exactly what the First Amendment forbids.

If you want to win Dem women to vote for you — and you can’t really win without them — then don’t choose guns as the issue to prove your heterodox bonafides. Women from both parties overwhelmingly support common sense gun laws, including assault weapons bans.

Being pro gun may help you vibe with dudes, but it won’t help you win.

I was asked what are my thoughts when I’m asked about DSA:

The organization itself based on its own data is over 85% White, mostly male and mostly wealthy. I’ll add to that the members share a collective White supremacist I know better for you than you know for yourself mindset. They didn’t listen to the ppl of Palestine in 2024 who wanted them to support Kamala Harris nor did they listen to Black ppl here who told them what a Trump reelection would mean for BIPOC and other marginalized communities and they didn’t listen to us in 2016 either and we ended up with a conservative SCOTUS that’s now stripping us of our constitutional rights one at a time. They are racist, anti-Black, anti-semitic, anti-East Asian non-Democrats who follow the teachings of a registered Independent who’s never passed any legislation and is the senator of the literal Whitest state in the union. They have no clue what middle, working and low income Americans need because those labels have never applied to them and if they really cared about POC, they would amplify our movements rather than try to force theirs upon us

[Jeb Fain @JebFain]

The DSA are a clownish group for many reasons, but one of the biggest is the almost-cartoonish gap between their constant self-proclamation as a movement of the working-class and the constant reality that their voters are overwhelmingly the complete opposite.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

As a liberal progressive, I would be fine with the party moving left if these wins were about Medicare for all, reproductive rights, universal childcare, taxing billionaires, and creating affordable housing, But they weren’t.

[Magdi Jacobs @magi_jay]

I've never seen anything like the speed with which people go from "oopsie did my toe just accidentally touch some antisemitism" to frothing Protocols of Zion sh*t. It's insane.

[Kareem Rifai 🌐 @KareemRifai]

Read Adriano Espaillat and Darializa Avila Chevalier's initial reactions to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The choice couldn't be more clear.

[Extra Strength Tylenol 🏴‍☠️ @MissesDread]

Your habit of not wanting Black women to have power but instead to serve *you* in *your* quest for power is absolutely a white supremacy problem.

[sid 🌹🔆🇨🇦 @lilbabygandhi]

Why is every DSA candidate so cagey about Ukraine. There has never been a more clear cut country to support than Ukraine. If you valued democracy at all you should be unequivocal in your support of them.

[Tyler the Twins Guy @thetwinsguy]

As the parent of an amazing kid with autism, who not only just graduated high school with honors, has a college start date in the fall, and who has positively impacted the lives of so many people in our community, it’s imperative that RFK Jr. immediately go and fuck himself.

Confirmed again, for a fourth time: the greatest anti-dementia treatment ever discovered is the Shingles vaccine.

[scary lawyerguy @scarylawyerguy]

Biden was handed a Depression-level mess and handled it about as well as anyone could have hoped for. Our economy was the envy of the world & he reclaimed our global leadership while passing more legislation than anyone since LBJ. Dems need to stop running away from this.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Why don’t the people I’ve harassed and maligned for years have my back?

[Allen L. @Leibochips]

People who made Gaza their entire personality are upset that most American voters have not done the same.

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5,000 years.

[𝑴𝒆𝒍𝒐𝒅𝒚 𝑷𝒐𝒏𝒅 @CollinsportME]

Obama didn’t cause any division in this country. It was caused by all the bigots who couldn‘t handle a Black President. If you think it was Obama who caused the division, it’s because you’re one of those bigots.

[Anne Smith @AnneS4Justice]

It took leftists two years to finally grow some balls protesting Trump at rally.

Too late! The whole world crowd saw you as cowards for not protesting Trump in 2024.
