Democrats like Democrats who like Democrats, which is why David Sirota sucks fucking ass at winning

Some people are into politics because they care about how policy impacts people. They like winning elections, and build coalitions to do so. Other people are into politics as aesthetics, because their stances make them feel edgy and superior. They like losing and complaining, and shun coalitions.

A certain type of guy is so allergic to coalition-building or taking a W that if anyone he deems uncool embraces his preferred candidate, it’s proof of something nefarious or insincere.

I am extremely happy that legacy news media & the various Politico derivatives are having a bad day today

Mamdani winning is bad for Democrats because now Republicans might call them socialists, something that has never happened before.

“The Democrats and DNC would never support a socialist in a major election” May I point to the decades of the DNC/DSCC not running a candidate against Bernie in VT

Mamdani won the NYC mayoral primary and California is passing real reforms to allow more housing.

🧵 UAW Statement on New York Mayoral Primary Race @shawnfainuaw.bsky.social: "The working class is done with business as usual. We were proud to be the first union to endorse Zohran because it’s time for a political movement that puts the working class first.

Most Democrats: “Thank God Cuomo lost” Most people who hate Democrats: “Ha ha Democrats are crying because Cuomo lost”

Again, he wanted to find supporters wherever he could. Wisdom of the ancients that somehow has to be rediscovered every few years

I know we’re all over the moon about Zohran but Brad Lander is truly the Bluesky candidate

Cuomo spent the whole campaign trashing the Democratic Party while Mamdani never shied away from being a Democrat. For both centrists and leftists it's an important lesson: if you want to win a party primary you should outwardly like the party.

Like I was saying earlier today, commentators brains are so utterly fucking fried by long term social media exposure that they are no longer capable of grasping that the rest of the country largely does not care about a local mayoral election in NY

if Mamdani does win can every person bitching about the DNC just shut the fuck up forever

Gotta tell you it would have been a lot easier to support removing Biden, at any point, if his loudest opponents hadn't been the most hostile, bad-faith motherfuckers in the whole party

Lots of work left for sports on Bluesky, but to assuage some fears about its future: we're on pace for another record-breaking month in June. There have been more sports-related posts than ever before, and engagement rate has tripled(!!). We're fully committed to the community here.

Clumsy metaphors here but Bernie always felt like he was playing for an inside straight and never tried to raise his ceiling, whereas Zohran’s like those LeBron Cavs teams where he knew the field in the East wasn’t super strong but he’s still playing to win straight up.

I am very glad to see popular young elected officials adopting policy positions I believe in. If podcasters need to tell themselves a story about how this means the Abundoid Bros are totally pwned, that’s fine by me!

crazy embarrassing, in 2025, to be using the same 2017 Game of Thrones meme you used as a demand of fealty that didn't even work the first time

Joe Rogan noticed that Stephen Miller's goons are "nuts." Share with your right wing member of Congress, if you have one.

Ultimately, Zohran went on Derek’s podcast, Ezra endorsed Lander and all but implied he’d rank Zohran above Cuomo, Lander and Zohran cross-endorsed each other anyway, and Zellnor Myrie ended his campaign with a Zephyr Teachout-approved barrage of anti-Cuomo ads — so what was all that about, then?

A Democratic Senator from the most populous state in the country was tackled to the ground and arrested by goons working for the Secretary of Homeland Security. That happened TEN DAYS ago.

I am honestly in awe of how well the HSGAC and Senate Budget Democratic staff did. They won on almost everything. Legendary stuff here. Tho it does help that the GOP staffers in the room were…. not good at their jobs.
