I mean the steelworkers union, deluzio, kaptur, etc all opposed the deal lol. You don’t have to like it and I agree with the rest of the tweet but saying “nobody wanted this” is a stretch. He’s being consistent with his pro union policies, for better or for worse

I don’t think anything made me sadder than the Casey loss
Many Senators have become disability rights advocates because of a personal connection. But Bob Casey Jr did so simply because he saw it as an extension of economic justice. He is about to give his farewell speech. @slooterman.bsky.social writes about his advocacy.

A disability policy champion’s time in Congress has come to an end
Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey was instrumental in passing multiple pieces of bipartisan legislation to advance the rights and well-being of people with disabilities.

Yeah Trump is great at playing both sides which is why candidates who emulate him fail
everyone believes that Trump is cleverly lying to someone else and that they have divined his true intent: theirs
Do you think this is because of lack of exposure to his actual words? Or do they take his words to mean something different than their plain meaning?

It’s funny how the media portrays Shapiro as probably being a super successful presidential candidate while ignoring the other Josh who actually might have done better than him given the fundamentals

Yep. Biden, wanting to Uphold the Norms, agreed to keep on a Trump-appointed prosecutor who was probing his son. Created a special counsel to probe his own post-VP document retention. Kept on Durham so he could finish a Trump-ordered probe of 2016.
What did he get? Nothing. So here he goes.

I just would not be shocked at all if raffensperger wins by 3 while the rest of the row offices and the senate race go to Dems
Dems aren’t winning against Brad Raffensperger if he decides to run. The only hope is Burt jones somehow wins the R primary

I hate people like moulton who use election losses to push their own agenda. Like are you seriously telling me that the entire country shifted 6 points to the right because of trans issues? GTFO
Need to know the "many in the LGBTQ+ community" who told Seth Moulton "thank you for saying that!"

Yeah and the people who are like “X issue that mattered to me is why we lost the election” are being incredibly disingenuous. People would do well to cool off on the hot takes
look the Dems/Harris might have major warts but we lost because of incumbency and a lot of the arguing is cope that none of what we fought about mattered

wrong to say the Dem base was fully activated (that Gallup poll Stancil is sharing is purely response effects)
Yet they also didn’t really defect to Trump either. It was isolated bad turnout and losing non-Dems at the margins to persuasion
This creates a perfect storm of futile blame games, though

@blockedfreq.bsky.social am I like the only one who thinks that Casey didn’t lose because he was “lazy” this cycle. It just doesn’t make sense to me

The Washington Democrats flipped one State Senate seat this year, #SD18 in suburban Vancouver.
Democrat Adrian Cortes flipped the district blue by a smidge over 100 votes, buoyed by Democratic wins up-ballot as Kamala Harris won it by two and MGP won it by nine.

Obama failed to recreate the Clinton coalition too and the next winning Dem will have a totally different coalition from Obama. I’m sorry but this is kind of bullshit. Why would you take the ownership away from voters?
And (B), while this is slightly more vibes-based, I think the new Democratic establishment has failed to recreate the Obama coalition largely because of a lack of empathy for working people — and saying, effectively, “sucks for y’all, you biffed it, now suffer the consequences” ain’t gonna do it.

The Shapiro should’ve been the nom thing misses WHY he’s so popular, and it’s because when he was an AG there’s comparatively less ad spending there and when he ran for governor he ran against someone with a nonexistent campaign

I’m always kind of skeptical when people say we need to learn from x person’s performance because usually there are other factors….in deluzio’s case Harris held up decently well in western pa
We need to study and learn from this win.
Deluzio is a CPC member who won by 7.5% in a swing district by running agressively pro-labor pushing corporate accountability and stopping greed to protect workers, consumers, and his local communities.
