Mike Thompson @passwordismiket.bsky.social · 01/08/2026It’s incoherent to allege it’s a dogwhistle for a candidate to say AIPAC bought a race where AIPAC (1) took credit for defeating the candidate, and (2) spent money to prop up a 2nd candidate to clog her lane (whom they also took credit for beating). AIPAC mismanaging spend does not absolve them. 000

Mike Thompson @passwordismiket.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Schumer not only recruited Mills, he also actively discouraged other potential candidates from getting in the race. He thought he was clearing the field for Mills, but he ended up clearing the field for Platner. Whether it is inherently his job or not, once he starts tinkering he owns the output. 000

Mike Thompson @passwordismiket.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Alas, swing voters lie about what would affect their voting behavior. A Dem candidate can run on raising taxes on the wealthy, and half of that 28% will pull the lever for the Republican because vibes or whatever. 020

She’s the only nominee currently in the race who isn’t facing calls to drop out. The implication that Platner drops out and the replacement is instantly favored to beat Collins seems optimistic. 000
