AOC's energy right now seems very "ugh I don't really want the next decade of my life to be consumed by being the president but :/ strange women in ponds are throwing swords at me and idk if you can just ignore that"

i feel like she has to now. idk why she agreed to them in the first place

180

i thought he won pretty cleanly. there's also three more of these

3120

yeah which is why i think its great he brought it up, even if its a small point. like we're all suffering from trump having a bigotry that has a very real history!

0250

the best part of the debate was when troy said the tariffs were about oppressing the french language

1713

lol shes keeps getting so lost in the weeds. why is she talking about cheese negotiations

0100

troy is really strong on explaining getting rid of ice

1162

universal healthcare causing mass death in the UK

180

lol her hit on him about his bills failing or whatever is insanely stupid if you know literally anything about the maine legislature.

1110

this is such a trainwreck for her. explaining the technical details of trumps bill. if youre explaining youre losing

1210

starting with abortion is the best thing troy coulda done

1201

just starting the debate now cause i was busy tonight and susan collins sounds a million years old

I’m increasingly worried that progressives outside of California view Ro Khanna as a viable presidential contender and don’t understand how deeply strange and unreliable he is.

i think it was mostly just the shock that some random guy could be polling so well against her (and the vibes as you say)

i dont want to know what a malfoid is. im simply no longer accepting new information about the world.

0110

its we dont have the demographics driving the huge swing (latinos, youth) and arent a red state like kansas or iowa, where people fully blame the gop for the problems. theres dissatisfaction with the dem trifecta and blame them for high costs (in property taxes)

its extremely funny that while collins is still pretty competitive, bobby charles is a total disaster. maine gop gonna be fucked in statewide races post-collins because their primary voters are too hitlerite and dems arent stupid enough to vote for a pedophile independent anymore after 2010/14

2121

hes in a hard position because he had relatively low name rec going in, so its not surprising that collins has been able to define him. im sure it also doesn't help he is easily tied to platner, and has a profile somewhat orthogonal to the that of the average ME dem.

010

i think a fair number of people have the logic of "we had to switch candidates after a massive scandal, thats a huge L, given how strong collins is were probably fucked" and have just tuned out assuming the race is a wash. if this was any other year probably true, but maybe not in a blue tsunami

170

way back in early 2025 there was a super doomer feeling among normie dems that there was no point cause collins was gonna win no matter what. everything with platner shook that up, but then since troy isnt as strong of a campaigner i think that doom has set back in quite a bit

2100

the biggest source of my anxiety is it feels like the republican attack ads are working. maybe they are! but i guess if people still vote for him cause they hate trump it doesnt matter

1130

like were getting fairly similar percentages in both races, the difference is that one candidate people like (or at least dont dislike) while the other is underwater in approvals. so it makes sense people would be pricklier about the latter, even if they ultimately are gonna vote for him

looking at the marist poll, im wondering if part of the reason the vibes around the senate race are so bad is cause of how relatively unpopular troy is

this is so much worse than i could have imagined

060

being on the field side i feel like i weirdly have more job security cause they're not gonna replace canvassers with robots. but on the other hand fuck i wanna pivot out, but getting a law degree or a policy degree seems like such a bad idea rn

010

she was apparently the only person to put in a bid on it lol

shelly duvall saying "we're from vermont" in a thick texas accent at the start of the shining is pretty funny

i cannot get over how big this thing is

the discussion on here about Meaning and politics is really really interesting to me

050

its played a pretty big role in overturning roe

290

like if the claim is "people cant attend synagogues with zionist ties/support" i dont see how anything other than "you cant be a member of the catholic church" follows

180

sure but the question here isnt about what the individuals themselves think, its about the institutions and attendance of services at them. i dont think the distinction youre making really works given what the catholic church itself stands for

1100

i mean thats not really true given it doesnt happen with catholics

1240

thats really interesting. had no idea!
