Micah @rincewind.run · 05/08/2026some specific democrats suck and they suck in ways that are detrimental to issues that you personally care about you know how you solve that once we are past the primaries? you elect even more democrats so that their votes are less important joe manchin couldn’t have done as much damage as vote 52 1360070
Micah @rincewind.run · 05/08/2026being in a situation where you need Literally Every Single Dem on Literally Every Single Vote is a recipe for getting mad at the Dem party all the time because you give maximal leverage to its worst members elect enough Dems and you’ll be less mad! it’s basic math! 752352
David Marx @digthatdata.bsky.social · 05/08/2026My local paper's take on this: > Say you’re stranded on a desert island. Do you drink hot piss, or drink seawater and die? If you want to survive, it is bottoms up for piss, and for voting <unpalatable candidate> 010
NutMeg @casuallychaotic.bsky.social · 05/08/2026It would be nice to get to the point Republicans are currently at, where random Democrats can vote against individual issues in order to virtue signal even though their vote won't have any effect on the actual result. 060
Nigel Ó Ceallacháin @nigelcallaghan.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Dems like Fetterman? Can you get rid of him ? 000
Crimson @crimsonruari.bsky.social · 05/08/2026I long for a time when the democrats are on the right side of viable electoral options. But we won’t get there while the republicans are still in so much power. (Ditching a two party system would be grand but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.) 220
John Smillie @johnsmillie42.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Crushing margins for Dems also demonstrates that people don't want to vote for more conservative candidates, so the center that moderates aim for will also shift. 0373
Micah @rincewind.run · 05/08/2026stevens doing this right away in a gracious way is good and shows she understands that it's all one team, and everyone else in the establishment is also getting on board we are going to win this race in novemberVoteHub@votehub.comNEWS — Haley Stevens has endorsed Abdul El-Sayed in the Michigan U.S. Senate race against Republican Mike Rogers. 837237
