Mr. Struggle @eric623.bsky.social · 26/06/2025a bit off topic but i think people are freaking out about this way too much. when was the last time the identity of the NYC mayor had a real political impact outside the city itself? are the midterms *really* going to be more of a referendum on Mamdani than on Trump? 000
Mr. Struggle @eric623.bsky.social · 26/06/2025serious question: when was the last time the identity of the NYC mayor had a real political impact outside the city itself? are the midterms *really* going to be more of a referendum on Mamdani than on Trump? 020
Mr. Struggle @eric623.bsky.social · 25/06/2025"Candidate quality matters" can go both ways. not only is Mamdani a good candidate, but i'm sure he was helped a lot by the fact that his main appointment was Andrew freakin' Cuomo 000
Mr. Struggle @eric623.bsky.social · 25/06/2025i wasn't paying super attention to the NYC primary tbf but wasn't Zohran pitching some "abundance" stuff a bit? 000
Reposted by Mr. StruggleNicholas Grossman @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · 25/06/2025Some people are into politics because they care about how policy impacts people. They like winning elections, and build coalitions to do so. Other people are into politics as aesthetics, because their stances make them feel edgy and superior. They like losing and complaining, and shun coalitions. 271049183

Mr. Struggle @eric623.bsky.social · 25/06/2025not sure how one primary in one city is indicative of a country wide problem for the Dems but ok 160

Reposted by Mr. StruggleGreg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 22/06/2025The whole idea of "antiwar" Trump has long rested on a confused reading of his hatred of multilateralism, the international order, and the Deep State. He doesn't hate those things for "dovish" reasons. He hates them for degenerate/corrupt reasons. Thoughts on that: newrepublic.com/article/1969... 341263343
Mr. Struggle @eric623.bsky.social · 22/06/2025tbf this could help do it. do you think they voted for Trump because he's a good guy? 000

Mr. Struggle @eric623.bsky.social · 19/06/2025during the campaign, i don't recall him ever writing about how Trump wasn't actually anti-war, but rather that Harris *would* get us into a war in the middle east 000

Reposted by Mr. StruggleNicholas Grossman @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · 19/06/2025When a public commentator sees a politician lie, it's better for them to point out that it's lie than to praise the liar, especially when that doesn't even accurately describe the politicians' actual rhetoric or record, but is something made up that sounds more appealing to the commentator. 1444052

Mr. Struggle @eric623.bsky.social · 18/06/2025i've noticed people get more upset with you if you seem to criticize Obama specifically as opposed to Dems as a whole. quite frankly i think he has a fan base that loves him but aren't real Dem party people. if that makes sense, lol 020
Mr. Struggle @eric623.bsky.social · 18/06/2025Obama always had this air about him as being above it all (remember "no drama Obama?) and in some ways i can respect him not speaking out on every little thing. however i feel like if things really are as bad as people say they are, i feel like he would be speaking out more, you know? 000
