Reminder as we all discuss whether or not Macklemore is spouting the usual pro-Pal rhetoric or is leaning into antisemitism… He’s been problematic for years. Ed Sheeran knew who he was getting.

When does a candidate running for elected office with a major party have to give up the claim that “I’m not a politician.”?

Let us know if he takes any substantive ownership of his words, actions, and associations. Pretending to be insulted when people ask him about his campaign surrogate, Piker, is just gaslighting. “Just a streamer”…who he chose to have at a series of rallies, a pool party, and his victory party.

Conversely, we can’t expect to abolish ICE if we can’t even get Republicans to agree with the public on reasonable restrictions - masks off, body cameras on, independent investigations, judicial warrants.

And…yet we did. We saw their signs and responded positively. Others around us had the same reaction. These are small, but ever present reminders that what the federal government is doing is widely unpopular. Every person who dedicates time to holding up signs is doing more than nothing.

It’s just her voice. I don’t hear any criticisms of Bernie Sanders’s or Sherrod Brown’s voice, and they’re pretty distinct. But Hillary was shrill and Kamala had a cackle, Gretchen’s accent was fake, and Haley is doing a character. I’m starting to think there’s a trend. 🤔

I agree with him that ICE should be abolished. I’m voting for Haley Stevens because as my US Representative, she’s working on shifting ICE funds to local authorities and holding independent third party investigations to hold them accountable. Those are pragmatic, achievable, immediate actions.

It’s a positive feedback loop. Trump did it. Bernie did it. It’s their chance to hear their fans shout their favorite slogans. It’s for the benefit of candidate, not the candidacy. Then they were shocked when they lost because “just look at my crowd size”.

I don't think she has it locked, but Howard Dean said in an interview recently that he knew his campaign was in trouble several weeks *before* the infamous "Iowa Scream" when he noticed that while his rallies were still packed, he kept seeing *the same people* at all of them. They were groupies.

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

While both Democratic candidates have pledged to support the LGBTQ+ community, only Haley Stevens has done the work. As one of the most effective legislators, Stevens secured federal protections and crucial federal dollars that fund local programs, all while blocking harmful legislation.

Amazing. Abdul's campaign has spent tremendous energy trying to match Mamdani's "viral online" success with his "Taylor Swift lip sync" & "Blue's Clues" videos. Haley didn't have to do a damned thing and her opponents managed to Streisand Effect her into a smash hit meme. (sound up!)

They made fun of Gretchen’s voice too, which is also not a standard Michigan accent.

It’s just her voice. The folks making fun of her voice are the same people who thought Hillary was “shrill” and Kamala’s laugh was a “cackle”.

Wow. The ICE shooter in Maine asked his ex-wife to "to lie for him and to cover for his character." She said he was abusive and had previously reported concerns about him to his military superiors. He was also a volunteer firefighter, but was removed after several spats with department leadership.

I'm told the reason a lot of people on the far-left are supporting Dr. Abdul El-Sayed over Rep. Haley Stevens is due to policy outlook, and yet, what I keep seeing are people on the far-left obsessed with mocking her appearance, voice, and mannerisms. Weird campaign strategy.

Bingo. We Hillary Clinton supporters went into private groups and offline chats in 2016 because the Bernie Bros were so toxic and obnoxious. Same thing now, only closer to home. My TikTok is full of people cringing over her voice. Hillary was “shrill”. Kamala “cackled”. We get it, you hate women.

My 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid didn’t come with a spare or a donut. We found out the hard way that our kids’ used cars didn’t have the correct wrenches to take theirs off and one car the previous owner put on foreign rims that required a special spline tool to remove the tire, which wasn’t with the car.

This 1972 anti–Vietnam War ad for McGovern captures a timeless truth: protesting isn't enough; we must vote. Imagine if profiting from war was illegal worldwide. As John Stuart Mill said, bad men win when good men look on and do nothing. Let’s act. Do something.

She seems to be honing that messaging as we speak. You’re absolutely right, health care is a top voting concern and Haley’s been fighting in the House to maintain and expand what progress we’ve actually achieved. Abdul has some buzzwords and his cosplay Dr. cred, I don’t think that’ll play in Nov.

I do remember being scolded by DSA types for suggesting that they’re running their worst candidates in order to take down the Democratic Party. This is political sabotage. If he can’t have it, nobody can. Makes me worry about Michigan’s Senate race.

I’m for any and all better options. My point is that M4A is not universal coverage. It’s no better than the ACA, so it bothers me that fake progressives attack Dems for trying to protect what advancements we’ve made when none of them have ever made a dent getting M4A passed.

The brocialist new leftists who set out to prove the horseshoe theory, all say (with zero merit) that my criticisms of Abdul El-Sayed are just me being anti-Muslim They remind me of the boorish, abhorrent, obnoxious KITH character who responded to any rejection with “It’s my cabbage head isn’t it?”

Yeah, you’re refusing to listen so I’ll be done with your circular logic now. I’ll reiterate my initial point and move on. Had we taken seriously any of the numerous red flags with Platner, his campaign would have ended long before this most recent accusation, which wasn’t even the first accusation.
