jetvirago.bsky.social @jetvirago.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I'm concerned that we're not getting enough reporting on their looks and fashion choices. I mean, they're both women and all. Maybe something about how much of a B they are to their staffs. Inquiring minds want to know! 010
jetvirago.bsky.social @jetvirago.bsky.social · 23/09/2026If Democrats were competent, they'd cut through the media noise and make it impossible for Trump to ignore his apostates, opening up a gulf and maybe even a war of words between them.

jetvirago.bsky.social @jetvirago.bsky.social · 10/09/2026The lack of effective pushback by the Democrats is just a continuation of their era of political malpractice. This is why so many people have lost faith in the party. 010
jetvirago.bsky.social @jetvirago.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Imagine knowing nothing about a topic yet posting about it anyway...or if you've run out of imagination, read Matt Yglesias for the same thing. 020

jetvirago.bsky.social @jetvirago.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Can we get a psychological profile on people for whom it is a surprise that a big-money Democrat donor flips to Republican? This is as surprised as turning a doorknob and it magically opens. www.msn.com/en-us/news/o...msn.comMSN 100
jetvirago.bsky.social @jetvirago.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Because the Strib has a strong agenda that it is pushing but covers it up by quoting proxies. 0 journalistic integrity involved. 000

jetvirago.bsky.social @jetvirago.bsky.social · 12/08/2026But this brings up another question....WHY didn't he endorse her? He endorsed Samuels...and she was actually one of his appointees. I want the tea. I noticed Angela Dawson appears to have endorsed her campaign 3 times. My guess is the 4th time would've done it. latonyaforcongress.org/endorsements/latonyaforcongress.orgEndorsementsBecome a founding donor for Latonya Reeves for real change! 100

jetvirago.bsky.social @jetvirago.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I'm so sorry! I wish I had something to offer but I don't know anything about this condition.

jetvirago.bsky.social @jetvirago.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I'm sure they did their best, but it *is* Ward 13. They're a little more conservative in the suburbs of Edina. 010
jetvirago.bsky.social @jetvirago.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Please, please, please be very careful with crowdsourced advice for your precious kitty. Double and triple check and maybe even run anything you hear by your vet for professional advice. 110
jetvirago.bsky.social @jetvirago.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Yes, his victory proves that establishment/moderates candidates are winners, which is why so many establishment candidates (like Clinton, et al) also won. Look at Angie Craig and all her vigorous winning. Oh I forgot: Minnesota IS Bluesky. 010
jetvirago.bsky.social @jetvirago.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Riiiiight....the electability argument...which brings us right back to my original point: if we choose someone 'moderate' because they're electable, and they lose...there goes the 'electability' argument. 220
jetvirago.bsky.social @jetvirago.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Given the close division of both the Minnesota House and Senate, I wouldn't want someone from either to be appointed. Perhaps a Hennepin County Commissioner? 130

jetvirago.bsky.social @jetvirago.bsky.social · 12/08/2026One of the biggest stories of the Trump era is the utter dereliction of duty seen across a wide swath of the media. 000
jetvirago.bsky.social @jetvirago.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I'm confused...which one is misrepresenting his gender identity or sexuality in this picture? 010
jetvirago.bsky.social @jetvirago.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Imagine the power of a Democratic Party that focused its money and resources on defeating Republicans and not a large segment of its own coalition. Imagine it, because it's likely all you'll be able to do. 000
jetvirago.bsky.social @jetvirago.bsky.social · 12/08/2026The thing that really stands out about this screed is how "Christian" it seems. 010

jetvirago.bsky.social @jetvirago.bsky.social · 12/08/2026It's more than feelings. It's a media that puts people in lazy lanes. In the GOP gubernatorial primary, the Party endorsed Qualls, the President endorsed Lindell, and DeMuth won. Where are the "GOP in disarray" stories? Nowhere, because it's not the lazy stereotype. 150
jetvirago.bsky.social @jetvirago.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Next in queue to Find Out: the Minnesota GOP. I thoroughly expect to enjoy this year's general elections. 050
jetvirago.bsky.social @jetvirago.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I 100% understand the frustration with these gangs. I 100% don't understand how this could possibly work: "The injunctions can’t outright ban alleged gang members from attending the fair, but ... state that [they] can’t publicly associate with each other on the fairgrounds." Bring in the drones? 000
jetvirago.bsky.social @jetvirago.bsky.social · 12/08/2026There's always something particularly painful about ads trying to inspire you to vote for such an anti-inspirational candidate. She has all the excitement and zing of an accountant. Carpet bombing people with the false energy is exceedingly tedious. 010
jetvirago.bsky.social @jetvirago.bsky.social · 12/08/2026So we're on to the next big question in American politics: Will the ongoing alliance between establishment Democrats and the Republican Party be sufficient to defeat progressive candidates for office? 000
jetvirago.bsky.social @jetvirago.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Regarding the GOP race for governor: Kendall Qualls was endorsed by the state GOP Mike Lindell was endorsed by Trump Yet Lisa Demuth won. Strangely, I don't see the "GOP in disarray!" stories all over the media. Now why is that, I wonder? (actually, I don't really wonder) 000
jetvirago.bsky.social @jetvirago.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Perception is reality, and people perceived him as the 'moderate, establishment" candidate who was 'electable' due to his moderation. 100
jetvirago.bsky.social @jetvirago.bsky.social · 12/08/2026He was chosen because he's electable, like Hillary Clinton and John Kerry. If he loses, centrists should never be elected again, following their own reasoning. 160
jetvirago.bsky.social @jetvirago.bsky.social · 12/08/2026To be clear, this is a problem driven by and sourced in men. Even the woman who has done the most to preserve the "freedom to abuse" is nowhere near the top of the list. Still, it speaks to how fundamentally fucked up she is. 000
jetvirago.bsky.social @jetvirago.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Given that the GOP is a lost cause on the matter, and it is up to the remaining political spectrum to make real change, is there a woman who has done more to reify a permission structure for sxual assault in the name of political expediency? So surprised at her recent bad takes on politics. /s 100
