Wait are you talking about fucking Labour? Fuck off lmao, I’m sorry Labour sucks and are turbo TERFs- but there are some pretty big differences between the two beyond just the ocean separating us

That’s what I believe too. While you can’t know what’s in someone else’s heart, and she could’ve genuinely become a transphobe in a late stage of life even after having years of pro-trans comments in her history, I think its important to emphasize that Dems as a whole would kill any anti-trans bills

This is what drives me insane. Like if you care about ICE murdering people, then you have to vote blue no matter who. If you care about the war in Iran, Tariffs, abortion rights, women’s suffrage!!!, LGBTQ+ rights, democracy- you have to VBNW. Darline Graham will not be better on any of that lol

Yeah the comments are really bad and would be disqualifying if she wasn’t running for the Senate in the deep south. 6 years of (D-SC) is worth quite a bit of bs if Andrews can make it over the finish line

I agree with your larger point but I would say I’m not sure Kristol is much of a conservative or even center right anymore- I like the monday Bulwark episodes he’s regularly on, and he talks like the average bluesky user these days lol

The insane thing is how expensive this shit is. How does a mocktail 4 pk cost 12.99?

Same reason thc cocktails and mocktail cans exist

It’s a little weird to make a point of calling out the “mutilation of aid workers” and not reference the literally thousands of aid workers who have been killed by the IDF- including numerous “double” or “triple” tap situations. Hope you would agree that’s also very bad!

Next Democratic administration will probably be well served by doing some progressive austerity to bring the cost of living down rather than kidding themselves (a la Biden and Trump) that the american voter yearns for re-industrializiation or whatever.

My very conservative Dad just moved to Florida 6 months ago, and nothing would make me laugh more than if FL elected Jolly and Nixon. You thought you could run from Dem governance, but you thought wrong lmao

If Democrats retake the Senate, then they need to follow the McConnell Rule: Block any GOP replacement until a Dem President wins in 2029

Israel has unfortunately ran the war as deplorably as possible that they took the GOP/Dem bipartisan support for Israel and now both parties bases have a bipartisan opposition to them

Salty @wtalty.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

I’m sorry, but you’re arguing counterfactuals; we don’t live in the world where Israel had a measured response, so it’s an assertion grounded in your feelings and not existing trends. The vast majority of people worldwide (and the vast majority of the Democratic Party!) were sympathetic!

They were so insanely aggressive over something so innocuous, it made reread your initial post to see if I missed a reason for why someone would lose their shit over it. Nope. Still don’t get it lol

If you can’t win the primary, that would seem to imply some electoral issues for the general no? I think Hong runs again statewide, so it’ll be interesting to see what she learned from this campaign/whether she changes any of her strategies. She clearly has charisma, but costly missteps added up

Went to a dinner for two of the local municipal Democratic parties, and people smell blood in the water. Very heartening to hear how much they wanted to crush Republicans

Obviously impossible to confirm or deny, but I think Sanders not winning the nom in 2016 and not being president in 2020 is ultimately significantly better for the future of the Left as a movement than it would’ve been if he had won

I had never heard of him before he became her running mate, but I assumed it was her picking a nobody who wouldn’t be a rival like Ras Baraka, but maybe Caldwell had connections with some machine she needed to appease?

LG is often a springboard in other states but since its creation New Jersey LG has been a singularly cursed position. first one immediately lost her first and only bid for the top job, next one fucking died, one after that got stomped in a House special by Analilia Mejia, and then comes Caldwell.

The New York Times has now run two prominently placed stories about Zohran Mamdani's comms department coordinating with unpaid influencers as if it is a huge scandal. Will they cover Trump using our tax dollars to buy literal campaign ads as if it is equivalent scandalous? If not why not?

I’m interested in what the NY primary deadlines are, because is there anything stopping her from running in the presidential and then pivoting to the Senate against Schumer if her campaign seems DoA? Didn’t Bullock do that in Montana in 2020?

This makes me hopeful. This number is aspirational but nowhere near out of reach: a working professional could realistically cash out their 401k and buy off a public official. Owning a senator is more attainable for most Americans than home ownership.

I think its fair to be skeptical, but I would say that Trump is doing his damnedest to piss off every US voter personally, with crazy gas prices and a new forever war, so maybe we’re finally seeing that reflected in polling.

My favorite bit that Kendra has been doing is that when some of the people (in genuine good faith!) have tried to probe what she actually means/the fault lines of what she’s saying, she just says “you just don’t understand the discourse” lol

My dog Tuna, sitting in her favorite blue chair by the window, leaning her head on the armrest as she stares super focused outside on a (unpictured) squirrel. She doesn’t realize I’ve put a Jets hat on her, and with her comicallt wide eyes looks like every Jets fan when they’ve done something gutpunchingly terrible

Speaking of Aang- have you read “The Avatar and the Fire Princess”? It’s not a modern AU, and its a bit of a crack-y concept but it slaps. Zuko captures Aang as the Blue Spirit/eventually becomes Firelord. Years later, Azula engineers a political marriage between her and an imprisoned Aang
