Unrelated, how does 40 + 23 = 62 favorable for @govjbpritzker.bsky.social I get it’s a mathematical error, but if polling is your job…

Donald “I don’t know anything about Project 2025” Trump wants to hand over the keys to the OMB to Project 2025’s lead co-author to fire thousands of federal workers and replace them with Trump loyalists. The labor movement is ready to fight back.

What do we call a @bsky.app “post?” Is it a post, a tweet, or something else entirely?#oxfordcomma

This is as dangerous as it’s ever been for workers in America. With the wrong ruling here, we could see a dangerous climate for workers who decide to organize.

I see ur trying to be cute but he didn’t. When he was the incumbent, his approval rating was 46%. His overall vote total? 46.8%. www.presidency.ucsb.edu/statistics/d...

Show me a presidential candidate that outperformed Harris in modern political history in comparison to the incumbent party’s approval rating. She over performed that number by 8 points. By that metric, if Biden had 45% approval rating, she would have won in a landslide.

Politics isn’t in the federal government it’s in local government. And the overwhelming majority of statehouses and municipal governments are dominated by GOPers. So they don’t have to worry about restarting a movement every 2 years. It’s already built in.

Bannon it should listen to Coca-Cola. CC doesn’t say only some people can have a coke, it wants the world to have a coke. Coke marketed itself continuously as relevant to culture. Dems don’t do that. Haven’t done that. We show up every 2 years and we don’t stick around. Your staying power in

Gene Mitchell @dividedwebeg.bsky.social · 18/11/2024

we need a desperate focus on local elections. Too many times the Democratic Party has stood on the success and failure of the party at the position of POTUS meanwhile the GOP wins droves of power at local elections. How can anyone admit they are a Dem when no Dem is elected in my

Favorability of said party’s incumbent president. Biden sat at 41ish and it looks like VP Harris gained almost 8 points on that number. Historically, that is unprecedented. Politically it is almost impossible. Much like the OP points to, we don’t need radical change (as Bannon/TP types are)

I’ve read similar takes and I reject it. We don’t defeat fascism with fascism. We don’t grow a larger movement by subtracting members from it. Only in political science do we ignore certain “laws” of nature. In no Presidential election of the modern era has one party won support outside of the

I am thrilled at the picks as the only attribute that matters to DJT is loyalty. That means far less likely to have any competence to do his/their bidding. It gives us/democracy a chance.

Funny thing about that phrase, in the Marines we used to add “the F***” in between stand and by. Hardly use the term anymore, but I am now constantly using the added phrase following the important question of what when it pertains to the president-elect.

“Trump is indebted to no one” has to be one of the funniest and most ironic things I’ve ever read. The President-elect may be the most indebted presidential candidate in American history.
