Remember early 2025, when the Dem establishment was saying we should roll over and play dead, and Bernie started rallying in ruby red districts across the country and showing that the people weren't having it? Bernie saved this place. Love him forever. With him forever.

For real!? Arrest this person immediately! Kindness doesn’t exist in them. Elect the republicans to end this! ENGAGEMENT with your friends is NEEDED to get out the vote.

Haley Stevens days before an election she is not part of…

ChudRight shouldnt be focusing on the 2028 GOP Nom, but rather winning the Mayorship of Mesa, AZ in ’28. The left’s energy came from Biden/Harris failure & Mamdani’s NYC success. Take Mesa and turn it into the ChudRight’s NYC- showcase what the Right’s future could look like.
Mark my words, if Republicans get wiped out on Tuesday, the lesson the GOP donor, consultant, and political class will learn from this election cycle is not that they need to become more aggressive on immigration, more nationalistic, more populist, more Right-wing, or more based and red-pilled. Quite the opposite. They're going to walk away from the midterms thinking they need to expel all the chuds, gatekeep against their own Right flank, and revert the GOP back to the thinly veiled controlled opposition status it occupied back in the early 2010s. The party apparatchiks will invent some new buzzword or phrase that ultimately amounts to "diet gay race communism" while making it sound like they're political realists seeking to rebuild after an electoral wipeout. And they will call it a restoration of conservatism as they do it.

Have they campaigned together for the general? I’m pretty sure El-Sayed has been along side McMorrow & Stevens more than Piker since the primary. Piker & El-Sayed haven’t put themselves together for the general- you and everyone else have. Why is that?
I have no issue with Democrats going on Piker's podcast, just as I have no issue with Democrats going on Joe Rogan's podcast, or going on Fox News. Talk to voters where they are! But doing media appearances is really different from campaigning with someone who has said incredibly offensive things over and over and over again and has a financial interest in continuing to be offensive and divisive. That *Hasan Piker* would say something offensive that would damage El-Sayed's campaign is like... the single most predictable thing of this entire campaign cycle.

Also after seeing the impact of TV on this Hong/Crowley race: AOC announce you are running for Prez BEFORE the midterms and say goal 1 is putting Kamala Harris on the Supreme Court. Get the eyeballs now, build a lead, build a war chest, build your story before anyone else can.

Crowley beat Hong. As soon as it’s final Hong should endorse & stump for Crowley to show you’re a real player. Crowley needs to be everywhere and earn it. If I’m Tiffany my angle is we’re not that different, but Crowley is a quitter who wont fight for WI.

10/10 take. My only addition is that the interpersonal friction was preferred because changing the system is hard and not profitable. Where as selling books and articles about how your peers are bad doesn’t negatively effect the bottom line.
The problem with Woke 1 was that it did the opposite of that Michael Brooks quote about being "kind to people, ruthless to systems." It tried to fix massive societal issues by micromanaging individual behavior, which was never going to work, and only empowers bad faith bullies.

Why does it look like Evers and Crowley are out getting ice cream at the State Fair after a pleasant “Take your child to work” Day?
"She was talking about Thanksgiving ... c'mon." Gov. Tony Evers (who endorsed David Crowley) on if he thinks Francesca Hong can beat Tom Tiffany if she wins the primary Tue: "I think she's in a tough place. She has spent her entire campaign dealing with...what's on Twitter."

Bruising primary in MI. But El-Sayed outhustled a sitting congressperson with a 10:1 $ advantage, endorsements from the Gov and outgoing Senator and what some thought to be an Obama endorsement. All who helped should be proud. Dems need to coalesce and set aside hard feeling.

Thrilled to hear about the Grijalva primary win. Kudos to Deja Foxx in what she accomplished, but wish Foxx and David Hogg were more strategic in picking their battle. Similar to Beto 2020- was this the right time/place?

Huge props to Brad Lander. He may not have won tonight but his teamwork and cooperation is going to springboard him to future success. Absolute king.

“We hate our base. Let’s give them nothing- they will vote for us anyway because they have no other choice!”
Replying to @daveweigel
“The base will vote for you anyway,” says @lxeagle17. “Don’t worry about liberal defections.”

Dumb title, valueless article. It’s referencing how both Vance and Ciattarelli were previously critical of Trump, then changed course and received a Trump endorsement. It’s true, but pointless in 2025. We’ve just moved beyond Republicans past Trump criticism being important.

Watching the NJ Republican Gubernatorial Debate, LOTS of cross talk and interruptions. It’s gonna be a rollercoaster. Interesting empathy by Bramnick: “I feel very badly for people who have been here for 30 years and this is their life…”

Q: Thumbs up if you want to repeal giving drivers licenses to migrants. A bit of confusion on the question format but thumbs up across the board. With some commentary from the other candidates about Ciattarelli being wobbly on the issue.

Durr says an NJ referrendum isn’t needed, says US constitution allows for abortion up til birth, but that it is a matter for the NJ legislature.

Abortion Referendum question. Bramnick says he is pro choice with late term restrictions and jabs at Ciattarelli saying you never know his true position. Durr says he’s pro life, disagrees w abortion as birth control but says there are exceptions to be Btwn woman, dr, and God.

Candidates are certainly trying to differentiate with sharp elbows. Ciattrelli mentions phoneybill dot com, apparently a website of contradictory/negative statements against Spadea.

Spadea fires back that Ciattarelli is controlled by lobbyists. Spadea continues that he has had Trump’s back since the escalator and Trump and Spadea are connected and on the same page.
