The brand comes from the top down. Democrats run tons of moderate candidates who overperform with non-college voters in statewide races yet seem incapable of running one at the top of the ticket. They have guys like Josh Shapiro and Jared Golden in the party.

A Democratic Party that pushes away people as left-wing as me is one that loses New Jersey, Virginia, and Minnesota.
Lmfao go fucking cope about it. Matter of fact go join the Republican Party.

It seems that young men are being conditioned by the manosphere to hate women and young women are being conditioned by extreme feminism to hate men. It's a big problem on both sides affecting both genders. But which gender is getting more radicalized to hate the other?

Maybe not the last.
First time since the Squad’s circa 2018 existence that it is shrinking from one Congress to the next.

As far as I can tell, much of the online left's hatred for Josh Shapiro is about him being Jewish.

Tammy Baldwin did dramatically worse in rural Wisconsin than Russ Feingold did in 2016. She did around 7-9% worse in many rural counties.

Clinton won here by 10%. Incredibly strong candidate. Schumer won it by 26% in 2016.

The manosphere is a response to something that happened. Question is: what?
Found this post by a female teacher. Misogyny isn't subtle anymore. It is loud. It is hostile. It is normalized. Manosphere broke an entire generation of young men.

This is what Bernie Sanders supporters wanted.
on top of everything else watching alito and thomas both retire and get replaced by 45 year olds is going to be brutal

Considering AOC is now defending cold blooded murder, very understandable. AOC would lead the Democratic Party on an extremely dangerous path.
NEWS: Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi is actively working to tank AOC’s bid for the top Dem spot on the House Oversight Comittee, I’m told. Pelosi has been making calls & campaigning on behalf of Gerry Connolly, who’s running against AOC. More in @PunchbowlNews midday:

She's out of touch.
AOC to @BrownJaala on the murder of Brian Thompson “This is not to say that an act of violence is justified, but I think for anyone who is confused or shocked or appalled, they need to understand that ppl interpret and feel & experience denied claims as an act of violence...”

Some of the nicest, most purely good people on here are @JMilesColeman and @nickroberts317. Can't remember a mean word from either.

They never learn.
NEW: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is poised to become the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, punctuating a huge generational shift in the party’s power centers amid a sudden overthrow of senior leaders. w/@nicholaswu12 politico.com/news/2024/12/11…

"Populist"
Vice President-elect Vance rushed back from Mar-A-Lago this morning to vote against NLRB nominee McFerran, per a source. Vote failed 49-50 "He got on a plane to Washington specifically to be in the Senate for this vote"

The combination of Obama getting elected and the ACA led to a generational wipeout.
What the actual fuck happened in 2010?! State legislative races btw.... holy mother of God.

There's overperforming the partisan lean of your state. And then there's, well, doing this. Byron Dorgan had one of the most dominant statewide wins in North Dakota in memory. And Reagan won it by 31% in the presidential election that year.

Aged very well.
There's no way Baldwin gets 2018 numbers again in 2024 right? — Assuming WI is close for pres, she's not winning by 11 points. Also, despite its swingy image, WI has only split its ticket twice (1940 & 1968) during pres years in the direct election era curiouscat.qa/JMilesColeman/…
