What's the political reason for Indiana Republicans being against it.? They're not just bucking Trump to buck him, they're must a political disadvantage they see for themselves uf they had went through with it.
Indiana’s Senate has voted AGAINST the GOP gerrymander that’d have locked in a 9-0 map.

This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026.

The vote failed big, 19/31.

The MAJORITY of the GOP senators opposed it!

Most Dems won't hesitate to sign onto good policy. If this was a Dem it wouldn't likely have the same support as any Dem legislation would be thrown down for partisan reasons. Dems are more likely to engage in bipartisanship.
Why do centrist/progressives keep letting conservatives beat them to insanely popular policies targeting big companies?

It's wild.

You need an enemy to win elections and global megacorps are clear enemies both in reality and the public imagination.

To anyone living in D.C, where would you point a young man in the direction of some holiday volunteer work? Don't have any money as a college student, but that doesn't mean I can't do some good.

Brookland Grill here in D.C is becoming my new favorite place to get comfort food. Only downside is they close at 4pm, which is pretty early.

It's exactly like those leftists who complained about Biden not doing enough for student loans despite him finding loopholes around the Supreme Court. Now, they got Trump who is telling them to pay every penny back.
The people in the replies to this post show that they do not at all care about the lives of Gazans, it's only ever been about Hating Democrats.
More people are dying in Gaza this year that Trump is president than last year when Biden was president yet people are regularly in my comments upset at Kamala Harris who lost the election while acting like Gaza is now a vacation destination under Trump.

Like MAGA impervious to facts or rationality

There is no point in arguing with the same people who complained about not getting vegan eating options at a college sit in. The ones on bluesky are another shade of privilege.
Listen, this argument would be credible if those people opted out of voting because they believe both parties harm Muslim interests.

Voting for the party that visibly supports Israel more and hates Muslims more is illogical decision making.

Blaming Democrats afterwards is just plain stupid.

Agree compleltey with the OP. Nicki Haley was the best electoral option for Republicans. Trump won sure, but she would have won by close to double digits. It was useless though because Trump was always the one who had the base.
I disagree but it also doesn’t matter—if you can’t win a democratic primary there’s no validity to an “but I would have won the general!” complaint. Having the support of party primary voters is required and they might not always select for GE efficiency. That’s OK.

The people mad about Allred dropping out are leftists who were hoping Crockett and Allred could split the liberal vote and that James would sneak in that way. Some of the comments I'm seeing about Crockett makes me glad I'll never align with DSA and leftists. Some aren't different than what's on X.
I think the majority of takes on this race atm (which are notably coming overwhelmingly from hetcis white dudes) are focused on the idea that white Texans will be more likely to vote for the white man over the black woman, and my probably-too-spicy take for Bluesky atm is that this is 100% false
I think some of the negative reaction to this is just people coping with Crockett running.

which is fine, I also wish she wasn’t, but if she was going to beat Talarico heads up she was going to win the primary anyway imo
December 8, 2025 at 11:18 PM
The same thing was said about Gallego and Slotkin. They both won their races. Maybe people in those states know what they want better than Bluesky posters.
We are now up to three total shitshow senate primaries (Texas, Michigan, and Maine).

Kirsten Gillibrand is the head of the DSCC and her literal job is to prevent this. but instead, she’s been spending her time criticizing Zohran. She needs to go, both as DSCC head and from the senate entirely imo
! Colin Allred is ENDING his Senate campaign and instead running for the House in Texas' redrawn 33rd congressional district.

There is no Republican I despise more than Hawley. His little game of talking like he supports working class and then voting for policies that go against it, is as fake as he his.

This should open up more resources for those rural districts DSA believe they can do better than Dems in. Oh wait, they never run candidates there, because they know they're full of shit.

MFs like this is how we got Trump. It's amazing how low info voters only pay attention to what they want to with Trump, but a Dem has to work overtime to appear impartial. Historians will be using this era as a prime example of what politicial ignorance in a population can do to a country.

Many immigrants, especially those from religious countries in Latin America, Africa and the Middle East hate LGBTQ+ people so much they will throw themselves under the bus for it. Dearborn and Hamtramck did the same thing with their conservative mayors.

But remember both parties are exactly the same, despite every Democrat appointee being against this.

I don't give a rat's ass about Bill Clinton. He hasn't been president in 25 years. Those unions moving towards Trump don't seem to mind too much about deregulation.
December 5, 2025 at 3:05 AM
No. it's a win for Trump. It's why he's in the White House. They should have gotten off their lazy asses and voted.
13 million progressives didn’t vote in 2024. 14% less than 2020. That’s a loss for Dems, not a win for Trump.

Hand in hand how? Which party has supported unions and raised wages in their respective states?
December 4, 2025 at 11:44 PM
"Both parties are the same" is how we ended up here in the first place. Nice job Bluesky.

"Squandering potential inroads with voters." Dude those same voters just voted for the most corrupt president in American history a year ago. I don't think they care too much about corruption. Also if you think voters will remember this, it's time for you to inject some grass into your bloodstream.
A corrupt president pardons a corrupt member of Congress for corrupt reasons. With multiple guilty pleas establishing a bribery-laundering scheme, Hakeem Jeffries still called the case “thin” and sought cover in a bribery-plagued Supreme Court.

A lesson in squandering potential inroads with voters.

Yes! Someone gets it! Black voters are pragmatic and will go with the one who has the best chance of winning. A la Biden in 2020. Most would support progressive policies and politicians, but understand on the national stage the average voter is not where they are.
Someone raised the point that sometimes Black people tend to vote in the primary for who they think white people are willing to vote for.

I thought that was really interesting and want to talk with a few friends about that. Just a really interesting observation.
December 4, 2025 at 9:49 PM
I've been saying I think Dems need to keep a little distance between them and unions. They have only grown more Republican despite Trump admin literally cutting union rights and Republicans' 'right to work' campaigns during the 2010s. Loyalty goes both ways.

Instead of directly employing union electricians, carpenters and other workers, beginning next year, the agency will contract out for those jobs as needed.
