e @eliontheweb.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Kshama is a known entity in the Seattle area. She’s been thouroughly poisoned in the local discourse. I’m also not so sure how effective of a politician she is. My point being, shes probably not a figure to orient this sort of debate around. 2150
e @eliontheweb.bsky.social · 04/08/2026That makes sense. Thanks! I guess I was expecting some journalism about this to exist but maybe lawyers are the best source. 010
e @eliontheweb.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Any recommendations for where to learn about the challenges of the immigration process as it actually exists in the U.S.? Obviously it’s changed across admins but just a general picture would be valuable. 220

e @eliontheweb.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Endorse, which we can take to mean something like “this is my preferred candidate” And reccomend - “people should vote for this candidate” Are clearly very different levels of support 030

She is now leading 48.6% to 44.1% with 73% of the vote reporting. (Remember the first batch, with older voters, was expected to be the best for DeGette.) 537642

e @eliontheweb.bsky.social · 25/06/2026“What is the endgame of a country where the entirety of the left decides that being positive about your nations history, heritage, future, symbolism is a bad thing?” Let’s think about the history and heritage of this country and maybe try to find why people don’t identify very strongly with them 🤔 000

e @eliontheweb.bsky.social · 21/05/2026Unless the takeaway is that the DNC is incompetent, there are no takeaways from this garbage heap of a report. There are factual errors on nearly every page of the report AS IDENTIFIED BY THE DNC! You cannot take away any conclusions from this. Garbage in garbage out. 160
e @eliontheweb.bsky.social · 08/04/2026Instead the TACO cliche comes in to explain away the actions in a essentialist (and false!) manner. It’s really gutter level thinking 010
e @eliontheweb.bsky.social · 08/04/2026Like his threats should be taken seriously because he often follows up. Did he TACO deportations? tariffs? Starting the war in iran? Clearly not. And if he backs off from them, we should ask “why?” or ask what forces compelled the reversal. 121
e @eliontheweb.bsky.social · 08/04/2026“TACO” has never been a good heuristic. Because a) it’s not true, and b) it’s a relative statement - if he were to do something good like end this war would we want him to “chicken out”? As a statement it’s literally just cope. Hoping that he won’t do a bad thing 110

e @eliontheweb.bsky.social · 16/02/2026Is this because early retirement removes an individual from the employment calculation? 110
e @eliontheweb.bsky.social · 11/02/2026Im not sure about the validity of that first claim. My point is quite simply that the political class holds some responsibility for whether they get votes or not. 110
e @eliontheweb.bsky.social · 10/02/2026This is how voters can signal displeasure with candidates through organized withholding of votes Though ultimately unsuccessful, this is quite clearly not an apathetic action. Also your lack of knowledge about this movement is pretty disqualifying if you’re critiquing withholding votes 110

e @eliontheweb.bsky.social · 10/02/2026I mean once example of what I’m thinking of is the uncommitted movement. It was a serious and sophisticated attempt at wielding this leverage. To call that apathetic is really to misunderstand the purpose of their movement. 220
e @eliontheweb.bsky.social · 10/02/2026Sure I’m not opposed to lesser evil voting. But it seems to me that campaigning around that message isn’t so successful. Also you do have to show that the “uninspired tiktok user” is a real political block that didn’t vote and not just some figure you made up in your head. Preferably with data 040
e @eliontheweb.bsky.social · 10/02/2026You can always claim (on technical grounds) that the voters are ultimately responsible for the outcomes of elections and that’s probably correct But you’re kidding yourself if you can’t also find responsibility in the political class for election outcomes 010
e @eliontheweb.bsky.social · 10/02/2026The democratic parties track record in previous elections is not strong enough to place all the burden on voters for not voting right. Sometimes the candidates are bad, the campaigns are bad, and the policies are unappealing. 350
