I always thought it weird the discourse is mostly about the Dems who won primaries by being against leadership and not the Dems who win the general election by being against leadership, both can demand, there's specific demands they can work together for in gutting out corruption
IMO Blue Dogs (and ideally New Dems) should play hardball too. Gonna be a huge initial test and moderates cannot dedicate themselves to the cause of bailing out party leadership from these jams.

Read up on JKT, this guy is insane (complimentary), dropped out of Yale and ended up saving the Alaska Democratic Party, I'm serious
Yeah this guy is great locally, I'm glad we get the chance to hear about him now because yeah, JKT will flip the Gov seat!
Reminder than Nikki Budinzski used her political connections to get the Illinois legislature to give her a special district that includes her house in Springfield, next to Washington Park, just for her.
All the backlash Dems gets for it is on her shoulders.

I'm so fucking scared of you

If you want a good basic overview of what things have been like here politically after Sonya Massey was murdered, Taniel gives a good summary of the Sangamon County (Springfield), Illinois sherrif election.
Justice for Massey is a big part of our politics
Size of the 'blue wave' isn't just about how far Dems get in US House.
Hundreds of local offices could flip if Dems have a great night—AGs, county governments, utility commissions, school boards.

If Josh Turek and the centrists that insist we need to throw trans people in a blender get their way all of those states are going to be "do not travel" because of the new federal laws.
Liberal extremists like you don't get that you can critique your own party
I need people who speak in vagities like this to specific specifically what we will get with Josh Turek that we won't get without him and why we should trust him when he did one of the biggest folds I've seen lately, he officially made trans Medicaid bans a topic of discussion
Oh and fuck Josh Turek.
The past year I was defending him and pointing out many of his policies were still progressive in nature, and now I realize how wrong I was and how I needed to back the outright progressive the whole time
This is Adam Hamilton keeping his promise as a United Methodist, to protect the marganilized, which definitely includes trans people

Adam Hamilton on transgender rights:
“I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself.”
“I’m gonna love the trans person as well as the straight person, male or female. We have to do better than picking on small groups. What’s happened is we’ve turned a group of people into a campaign issue because it polls well.”

I've been a victim of child abuse and, by a different person in a church, raped as a kid
From the bottom my heart, I do truly appreciate everybody, especially the Republicans, revolting against Vivek Ramaswamy (and Max Miller for that matter), it honestly means a lot to me
NEW on @zeteo_news—
Venues are *pulling out* of hosting Vivek Ramaswamy for his final bus tour across Ohio.
“We’re getting calls that people don’t want him there,” a top Ohio Republican says. “It’s that damn ad.”

Illinois Governor JB Priztker dresses up as Buzz Lightyear for Halloween early.
This Saturday I might be collecting signatures for a city ward candidate to get him in the ballot next year.
Sontea Massey, related to Sonya Massey, sees the Alderman seat as the next step in his long journey to get justice for his cousin.
Be normal about this, please.
Oklahoma and Alabama are Likely R.
Larry Sabato did not say they are Safe D, he said they are Likely R, which we can agree yes, they're probably going to the GOP.
Larry Sabato’s Crystal Ball ratings change
US Governors
Alabama: Safe R —> Likely R
Michigan: Lean D —> Likely D
Oklahoma: Safe R—> Likely R
Ohio: Toss-up —> Lean D

Trump fooled people into thinking he was the anti-war option.
Yes, Republicans would attack Haley Stevens for being too pro-Israel, how on Earth did you fail upward so much to be considered an important DC consultant?
I think to be qualified to be a part of Election Twitter you need to watch this movie and pass a test that shows you clearly understand the part of the movie that stresses somebody can say something out of anger and not mean it
Vaguely: Bill Clinton engaging in some controversal activity adults wouldn't fully explain to me with somebody else (the blowjob)
Clearly: The Supreme Court breaking everything I learned in school about separation of powers and choosing the president in 2000, I was a NERD okay
