Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 08/10/2026If the stroke didn’t happen and he wasn’t an Israel-deadender he’d definitely be a contender for the big chair in 2028 (derogatory) 030
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Playing hardball works. I did it in ‘56. 000
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Mayor Mamdani is another Obama-era political talent because his detractors are telling on themselves. 000
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 01/10/2026If Bottoms also blows the governor race in November then he’s gonna be Millennial Sam Nunn at best. 010
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 01/10/2026He’ll get chewed out if he runs in 28. The only folks blowing air into a Presidential bid are consultants and election nerds who want a new golden boy. 110
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 29/09/2026If gas is $5 a gallon in the panhandle on Election Day then expect a long night for Florida Republicans 132
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I think cats caught on with this post 2024. The ‘normal whites’ have left the GOP due to the cranks in charge. 120
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Egregious pull quote aside, Rahm won’t even make the kiddie table debate and is using gullible reporters and donors to get another White House gig. 000
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Going for Senate is strategic but no one remembers Presidents Ted Kennedy or Al Gore 280
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 23/09/2026With national name recognition, easy fundraising without the need of big donors, and hovering around the top 5 in polling she’d be stupid not to go for the big one right now 180
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Obama turned down running until after the 06 campaign showed a realignment. If she’s still in the top 4 in polling she’d be stupid not to go for it. 050
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 23/09/2026The Senate will still be available to her post 2028. The Presidency won’t. 1100
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 22/09/2026If some odd things happen, we might see them as the 28 ticket. 010
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Obama was against a run until after the midterms. The country right now is barreling towards a crisis and the power brokers have their pants down. Tap into the rage and you got an electorate. 010
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 22/09/202628 will probably be her best shot at the big one. 110
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 21/09/2026These are Gov. Gina Hinojosa (D-TX) numbers 051
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 18/09/2026He probably loses in 2020 if COVID doesn’t happen 020
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Black voters aren’t settling for any white boy the consultants and election nerds prop up and AOC isn’t weak with black outreach like Bernie was in both of his runs. If there’s a full recession next year she can run the Obama playbook if she plays her cards right. 020
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 14/09/2026AOC needs to win either SC or VA to be a contender or Harris gentlemen sweeps the nomination at this point 120
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 08/09/2026It’s why AOC needs to win SC or VA akin to Obama winning Iowa to blunt Harris’ momentum in 2028 010
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 08/09/2026It’s less vibes in the scenario and more who does black voters get behind between Harris or anyone else at this rate 101
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Colom wins by 3 due to Boosted Black voter turnout post Callais 010
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 28/08/2026You don’t do this if your only intention is to run for Senate in two years. 000
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Ironic after 2024 the nomination likely is going to be between either two women 020
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Nixon had a shoestring budget but sprinted across Florida. Vindman didn’t even want to show up for basic interviews. We’re seeing the results of that tonight. 000
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 19/08/2026It’s an open secret in Washington that the Vindmans are unpleasant to work with 030
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 12/08/2026He’ll get McMorrowed. He’s not taking black votes away from Harris in the South and the left probably consolidates around AOC/Generic progressive challenger. Also a dozen other moderates cannibalizes on itself (see Wisconsin Gov primary) 010
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 07/08/2026This gutter racism as political punditry 070
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 06/08/2026The 08 primary was decided on a coalition of black voters and white college grads. Time is a circle. 092
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Stevens had the machine and the money, but not the momentum. Abdul’s fight doesn’t end tonight but the left should be proud of its work. 000
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 01/08/2026If I’m AOC (or insert other challenger) I’m going to a black church every other week until the SC primary if you want to win 010
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 01/08/2026She’s in the same position as Biden was in 2020 and until there’s a candidate that can blunt her position with black voters and women no one is stopping her. 210
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 01/08/2026In an alternate universe, Stevens probably wins a primary under a Harris admin but the base wants blood and AES was more palatable with this electorate than in his 2018 race. 0130
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Abdul probably sweeps McMorrow even if the DSCC recruits her in this environment 290
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 31/07/2026When you’re explaining, you’re losing. 040
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 25/07/2026The Democratic establishment has failed to rein in the attacks on Black America in Trump II and it’s a golden opportunity for Lilly white leftists to demonstrate their alternative political vision but instead folks want to bitch and moan instead of organize. Oh well. 000
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 25/07/2026A lot of this discourse stems from resentment over electoral strategy. 100
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 25/07/2026All I’ll say with the Michigan senate race is that you don’t see a last minute Whitmer endorsement if you are in the drivers seat. 100
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Clyburn isn’t retiring anytime soon and SC is a cheap media market for any candidate to to organize and win. I also doubt that the GOP controlled legislatures would allow NC or GA to move its primary schedule. You gotta play the game whether you like it or not. 030
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 24/07/2026You can wax poetic about AOC or any lefty challenger but if they can’t shake it with Black voters then they don’t deserve the nomination. 1172
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 17/07/2026That sort of explains why DC Dems barely spent a penny on his Senate race in 22 010
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 17/07/2026Ossoff winning in a more favorable environment is less impressive than Warnock winning in a red wave year with peak inflation. Warnock also has made more clear moves for 28 than Ossoff, who just had a baby and is more of a dream scenario for pundits/consultants 200
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 17/07/2026If AOC survives a primary she’ll likely not win the black vote overwhelmingly and adding Warnock solidifies her position on a new era and he’s a stronger electoral performer than Ossoff. 100
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. @revpowell.bsky.social · 12/07/2026If this happened a few months ago a school of Iranian children would still be alive. 000
