I do not like raining on people’s excitement about polling as I very much (more than the average person) want to see the GOP’s political clock thoroughly CLEANED (for personal AND professional reasons) However, no one should forget how quickly ISH went politically right between 2022-2024 w/voters

Minor cautionary note: If GOP loses their exurban/suburban districts in places they usually win? I don’t see that as a permanent map reshaping, nor should Dem leaders look at it as so That’s a GOP voter staying home or willing to vote for the Dem to “make it stop” Political tides do reshift

Aside from the hot mess disaster that this briefing was (just from a clip…) I thought the press corps weren’t F-ing with the WH due to banning networks?? Or is that all resolved?

*Puts on political strategist hat* Two things to say about this: 1) While it’s not US Senate, Kansas voters have elected Democrats statewide, as in the current Governor. So Kansans demonstrate they have and will vote for Dems 2) Great polling means nothing without turnout

Yeah it’s what I’ve been telling folks in regards to journalism they like be it local/non profit published or freelance Only problem is the economy is so bad, people who would normally have those extra dollars do not anymore It’s really just a private equity/ oligarch hell hole

Solid ad. Hard hitting. But having seen the last 10 years in politics and who we’ve elected will it work? Has the electorate become so jaded it doesn’t matter?

One reason the U.S. will stay in a doom loop w/white Christian nationalisms/fascism is this: White women who continue to think they are somehow not included in the consequences of white supremacy when when they are told so repeatedly Tale as old as the colonized Western Hemisphere 😑

A major structural hazard with extreme media ownership concentration is that oligarchs impose their ideological agendas--which almost always skew to the far right--on everyone. This capture of core info and communication infrastructures must be dismantled if we're to have any semblance of democracy.

Yes. And? Doesn’t negate the point of what ACA still did do.🤷🏾‍♀️

My response on Mamdani was because you brought him up initially… bsky.app/profile/itsj...

Atima Omara @atimaomara.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Also, pointing out facts ain’t Stan-ing Obama 😆. Was ACA perfect? Nope. Alternatives that would’ve improved it even more like the public option were killed. The facts of the matter were it ensured millions of Americans (est 50 million) who weren’t before.

Atima Omara @atimaomara.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
I’m not arguing the point of what Mamdani said/does. You moved the goal post. You started this saying you were talking about Obama’s words that you called “drivel”, not his policy actions (that’s a different convo) , and that is why you are receiving the reaction you have 🤷🏾‍♀️

Atima Omara @atimaomara.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Mamdani is a great political leader But Mamdani also told a moral and ethical story about how New Yorkers could live together and be better in this moment. If he sucked at that? NYC would’ve gotten Cuomo That is where you started your post, and what Democrats need to get better at

Atima Omara @atimaomara.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
You say mass foreclosures it was a Bush deregulation policy that led to that. Obama admin built the economic stimulus that stopped an economic free fall. Affordable Care Act?? Is a historic piece of legislation that saved LIVES One can disagree with things Obama did, but he wasn’t all “air”

Atima Omara @atimaomara.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Ah no, you said what he SAID was “drivel” Except that drivel took what was a barely recognizable State Senator before his 2004 DNC Convention speech to a household name and on the fast track to the US Presidency So the compelling storytelling works. And not a lot of Dem leaders do that well
120
Atima Omara @atimaomara.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Uh, This is why most everyone was captivated by Obama after that 2004 convention speech (which directly led to people wanting him to run for President) He told a moral and ethical story about what America was and could be in the Bush Jr Admin era He actually knows of what he speaks

Yknow a big part of what pains me after the 25th anniversary of 9/11…. We are still living the consequences of that day now. Because ICE (and TSA and its overarching Homeland Security) were the Bush administration’s response to 9/11: targeting immigrants This is a nightmare
