Yeah. Her argument was that she was Joe Biden, but younger and more diverse. But Joe Biden was LOSING. Even before his debate performance. And he only barely won in 2020, which also should have been a blowout.

It’s not blackness or the femaleness, it’s spinning down on shitty uninspiring politics. An old white male Joe Biden was going to lose even worse than the middle aged black female Joe Biden.

Literally no one’s legislative achievements are impressive. Being able to pass anything either requires a large majority and a full party effort or for it to be a non-controversial bipartisan bill. It’s not a body where individual lawmakers make legislative achievements.

Perhaps her place should be in the public focus, pushing policies and initiatives, while others might be better suited to the legislative positions to support what she’s publicly advocating for.

Like as president?

This whole post is politically incoherent. She’s both too radical to win/survive and a secret moderate, while electoral politics is both a waste of time and it’s her duty to challenge Chuck Schumer.

No one on the list has.

The polls are all over the place, but this one seems more believable than anything with Harris leading. AOC-Buttigieg-Newsom as front runners at least seems like the opinions of real people actually thinking about the next primary. Harris leading just screams people who don’t recognize any other names. You just don’t come back from a failure that catastrophic.

NYT has his aggregate approval/disapproval is 38%/59%. CNN has him at 35%/63%.

I’m not a new account. You’re nit-picking semantics when fascism is taking place and being a dick about it.

Votes are being thrown out in order to make those votes not matter. It doesn’t matter that there will be a show election in two months, the result is the same. Previously “too close to the election” has been the repeated refrain to disenfranchise black voters with illegal maps, now it doesn’t matter that votes have already been cast. It’s naked and open and you’re arguing semantic details as if we need to maintain a front of stolid respectability.

Or they’ll just ignore it and not take the case. They don’t even need to explain why.

Once the Republicans have locked in control, why would they ever pass that? They’ve had the option to ban gerrymandering before when it would be roughly neutral but refused. Now they’ve engineered an advantage without letting their constituents vote on it. Letting them out of that prison would demolish them.

They’re actually throwing out votes in Louisiana, but sure, because some people had cast early votes that they could change, the votes they cast in a well-publicized effort later didn’t count.

I also like how the Islamic terrorists are “legacy” as if there’s nothing going on right now that could be generating a whole new generation of Anti-American terrorists. It’s only some old guys who still hate us for our 2000’s freedom.

It’s consecrated for both Islamists and lesbians.

Not “antifa”, anti-fascists. They’re just admitting it now.

Handing off the baton implies to me he has some role in selecting a successor. I don’t even want him to do that. He’s just bad at politics.

Also one of the problems with Mills was being too old, and Chuck is just 3 years younger. Hopefully he takes it personally.

Seriously, when did he ever say he’d be the first DNC chair to publicly release that standard internal document?

Martin’s decision to withhold the report doubles back on a pledge he made just hours after he was elected to be the DNC’s chair in February. In comments to reporters, Martin committed to the public release of the 2024 report.

At the time, he also questioned why the DNC hadn’t released its 2016 autopsy, when he questioned, “what happened with that … was there any utility in doing that?”

“Of course it will be released,” Martin said in February, referring to a future review on the 2024 election.

Ugh. That’s it. Here’s the text. They erased a bill to fix the graves of American-Jewish servicemembers to pass FISA.

Resolved, That the bill from the Senate (S. 1318) entitled “An Act to direct the American Battle Monuments Commission to establish a program to identify American-Jewish servicemembers buried in United States military cemeteries overseas under markers that incorrectly represent their religion and heritage, and for other purposes.”, do pass with the following

AMENDMENT:

Strike out all after the enacting clause and insert:

SECTION 1. Short titles; table of contents. (a) Short titles.—This Act may be cited as the “Foreign Intelligence Accountability Act” and the “Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act”.

It’s not this one. The vote total doesn’t match.

Love that these stories provide vote counts but no method to check how your representative voted.

What are you talking about? She doesn’t even trade stocks. She was one of the reps trying to ban trading.
