p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Yeah, not sure how committed he is to structural change but he’s at least better than Obama in that he actually seems to hates Republicans and understands that they are the enemy. 010
p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 09/10/2026State Senate and many county elections being in off off years is so bad for governance. 000
p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Even Hoover got 39.6% of the vote against FDR in the midst of the Great Depression. Many people will always be hopeless. 000
p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Praying we replicate this at the national level with AOC/Ossoff 010
p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 26/09/2026He was fundamentally the wrong person for the moment and could not grasp the stakes of stopping Trump. And everything good he did was basically wiped out in the first months of 2025. 0511
p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Why do KHive people always pit AOC against Lauren Underwood? It's so fucking weird. 081
p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I think a lot of progressives just over-romanticize field organizing. Getting a lot of volunteers to canvas is great but it can't replace the reach of traditional media. 130
p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Luckily one of his ads focuses on how to pronounce his name lol: youtu.be/uC2fnDQhdLI?...youtu.beJarrett Keohokalole for Congress adYouTube video by Team Punchbowl News 020
p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 05/08/2026One good thing about being from VA is that I'm very used to waiting for big counties to report election results 000
p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 05/08/2026This is giving me flashbacks to the 2016 Michigan primary 000
p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Yes, but how did that turn out? He had some good policies but he wasn’t capable of meeting the moment/stopping Trump and was unable to run in 2024. And now the country is in a shitstorm. We won in 2020 but choosing Biden was very short-sighted. 100
p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Yes, I am. I think people should just vote for the person they want instead of agonizing about electability. The Democratic primary electorate worrying about electability got us Biden which was good in the short term but ultimately proved to be a disaster. 100
p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 30/07/2026A woman has won the popular vote and another woman came within 2% of winning the Presidency. It’s absurd to say that there aren’t any women capable of winning in 2028. 110
p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 29/07/2026And the majority of people who actually use Dulles fucking hate him 011
p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 27/07/2026When you say adminisitrative burden, are you thinking about translating forms/statutes or are you thinking about full-fledged bilingualism like they do in the Canadian public service? As a federal employee, my initial thought is that administrative burden would be way higher with de jure. 000
p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 20/07/2026She had endorsed McMorrow months ago because they had a longstanding relationship. McMorrow only dropped out two weeks ago so endorsing El-Sayed now is fine. 040
p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Idk how you can say that when housing affordability is a massive issue, especially in SF. Federal appropriations/policy for housing and transit impact cities way more than foreign policy. 020
p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Crow and Pettersen voting yes as well. The Colorado House Dems know which way the wind is blowing. 070
p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 15/07/2026The HI-01 primary has been flying under the radar but interesting to see Ed Case continuing to vote like a Blue Dog. And lol at Haley Stevens voting against this. 190
p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Here's the link: clerk.house.gov/evs/2026/rol... Meng voted against.clerk.house.gov 021
p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 15/07/2026The roll call vote is here: clerk.house.gov/evs/2026/rol...clerk.house.gov 053
p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Why are you citing campaigns from decades ago as if they’re relevant to anyone who’s not a boomer? Modern politics is completely different from what it was 10 years ago let alone the 70s and 80s. 000
p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Neal is facing a primary against @jeromiewhalen.bsky.social 001
p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 06/07/2026As much as I like Warren, progressive politics will be healthier once she and Bernie are both retired from the Senate. 000
p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 24/06/2026I thought Chuck Park holding Grace Meng to 70% would be a good result. This is far better than I expected. Hopefully he runs again. 060
p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 24/06/2026I expected Brad Lander to win big but the margin is pretty amazing. Also kind of crazy to see Grace Meng doing so poorly in a race that flew way under the radar. 000
p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 20/06/2026People in the DC area actually really hate the Park Police. 010
p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 17/06/2026Pleasantly surprised by how big the margin is for her, especially in Wards 7 and 8. Also lol at Ward 3 being the only ward McDuffie is winning right now. 020
p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 09/06/2026Agreed. And I worry that the left doesn't do enough to make an affirmative case that government both should and can do good. 000
p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 05/06/2026It's not ageist to think that a 77 year old is not an ideal candidate to be a freshman. We've had four House Dems in their 70s die in this Congress alone. 100
p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Great thread. Would love for the DC area to learn from these practices! @novatransit.bsky.social, @wmata.com, @lohplaces.bsky.social @wmatagm.bsky.social 010
p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 03/06/2026Iowa should never again be allowed to be the first state in the primaries. 050
p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 19/05/2026This is exactly what I was afraid of since she declared that she was running. She’s too centrist for the moment. 2130
p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 15/05/2026As a Federal employee, fuck off. Empowering Musk isn't some niche issue. Elon Musk destroyed the lives of many people, killed hundreds of thousands of people, and caused immense damage hto the government. 010
p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Gen X deserves more of the hate that the Boomers receive. 000
p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Looks like those photos are of Ashburn though instead of Herndon. 000
p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 15/04/2026I get it but when there’s parity between defense and non-defense spending and when civilian feds aren’t getting the same pay increases as the military, I lose sympathy. My dept lost 1/3 of its staff last year and has been chronically underfunded since it was established. 030
p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 08/04/2026Check out the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, the Potterfield Bridge and Brown’s island, and Sub Rosa bakery. 110
p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 07/04/2026DC went through January 6, DOGE, and is still being occupied by national guard troops. Plus we have to deal with his constant threats to the city and his deranged US Attorney being our local prosecutor. Do it here. 050
p-kai.bsky.social @p-kai.bsky.social · 25/03/2026This guy was also throwing Federal workers under the bus during the height of the DOGE reign of terror last year. He’s horrible. 061
