The best Democratic leadership Israeli money can buy.
Blame the Christian majority in this country and it’s oldest obsession with the so called holy land
There was a response?
I mean they are litterally breaking a momentum for a blue wave which has never ever been at the scale this one the potential for.
With good leadership Dems could be heading into something so big the Republicans wouldn’t be able to to come back.
But instead weve got these two
It’s hard not to look at them as controlled opposition.
Absolutely. I’m really at my limit of the whole blue no matter who bullshit after this round of elections and capitulation.
No point in harm reduction of you can’t even stand up to war crimes when it matters.

Every sitting Democrat is lining up to pull an Andrew Cuomo when most races are lucky to have someone like Curtis Sliwa on the other side of the ballot line.
At least the primaries aren’t over yet. This might be what candidates like Talarico and Abughazaleh need to squeeze over the line… so they can join a rump minority of progressives in a legislature that’s green lighting another $50B to bomb Cuba in 2027.
Abughazaleh
Be careful putting all your hope on this campaign. Kat’s tied for second, not a distant second, but a solid second. She’s well ahead (90%+) with 18-35’s. But I do think she’s a long shot after looking into the polling (the only polling on this race). I’d put the probability of Kat victory at 20%.
Poll was conducted via
The poll reached voters through text-to-web messages and automated landline calls using “interactive voice response,” or IVR.
It was about 22% land line, 77% text to web. Now I’m always a bit dubious of “polls of likely voters”, because they almost exclusively rely on whatever cohort voted last election. But we work with the data we’ve got, not the data we want.
Something striking is that Biss is not as far ahead as we might expect them to be. I think its going to be tight on election day, tighter than what this poll suggests.
If you look at the cross tabs, Basically, Biss voters split between Kat and Fine as second choice, and all Fine voters break to Biss, and all Kat voters also break to Biss.
Basically, the least popular candidate to Fine voters is Kat, and the least popular candidate to Kat voters is fine. The electorate is very split in this race, and Biss is the benefactor of this. Likewise, there is substantial splitting on the DSA vote. Bushra got the DSA endorsement, not Kat, and that might have been the killer. There is clearly some local infighting happening here, where DSA leadership didn’t like Kat or some such (maybe they view her as a primadonna). Regardless, almost all Bushra voters break to Kat, and they are one of the only candidates where most of their voters break in such a specific way.
If this were typical times and typical campaigns, i’d say Kats done and Biss is going to win this. However, key issue I identified early: this is a poll of “likely voters”. Polling based on this kind of sampling suffers from a “the past is the future” assumption. One thing has been clear about Kat’s campaign is that its not traditional. If Kat has been focusing on building votership into the primary, as in, recruiting unlikely voters to engage, then these results are actually very positive for her, because polling will always underestimate that strategy.

No no. She’s an outside long shot on a good day. I’ve seen the polls. But the Iran War puts some of her most popular issues at the forefront of the race.
If you look at the cross tabs, Basically, Biss voters split between Kat and Fine as second choice, and all Fine voters break to Biss, and all Kat voters also break to Biss.
With some enormous undecides floating in the wind. It’s absolutely Biss’s race to lose. But as Fine gets more money and support to challenge Kat and Biss, she’s defining herself more strictly as a pro-Hasbara candidate. And she’s doing it in a race where Israel is a highly polarizing issue.
If this were typical times and typical campaigns, i’d say Kats done and Biss is going to win this. However, key issue I identified early: this is a poll of “likely voters”.
Like with Mamdani, a big turnout spike would favor the more progressive primary challengers simply because the high profile issues favor Kat’s campaign.
But also, it’s Chicago Politics and that shit’s cutthroat. Rahm Emanuel could jump out from behind a bush and just stab a bunch of candidates, idfk.
Yeah I’d need to look closely at the districts demographics and citing characteristics. Seeing Kat on stage for the debate, I think she came across as a little green. Which doesn’t bother me, but there was a defensiveness in their tone that neither of the other top candidates had.
I might dig into the district a bit further later to look at the districts demographics. Ill ping you if I get around to that.
Literally, not figuratively?
“Leaders” is doing a lot of work there
Some Democrats have been strongly against it by explaining how gas prices might increase and in light of all the illegal bombings and murder that it’s going to cost the average voter more to fill up their vehicle.
“Let’s not murder people in another country because it might slightly inconvenience us at home!”
Wow. Such argument. Most strong. Not that I expect the Democraps to do much more than put out a letter that’s totally in the mail right now.
The uniparty has never been so undeniable
“Don’t blame me, I voted for Kudos”.
It’s crazy to see a Congo Line of (D) Senators go on cable news and announce “I love our President’s war in Iran, I just wish he’d asked us nicely first”, as videos and pictures trickle in of whole schools being massacred and neighborhood hospitals flattened.
The same folks who were screaming “This never would have happened under Harris” a month ago have come out pledging unswerving allegiance to the Israeli flag over the weekend.
Don’t pay attention to what the assholes in congress say, pay attention to what the assholes at the Rand corp and Heritage Foundation say.
What the republicans can’t win because their ideas are shitty the democrats will hand them because they’re spineless.
Im more interested in why we aren’t excoriating Republicans. They can end this all today.
they’re cowards about the fucking Epstein files, 90% of them only got elected because of aipac
Consider this: Epstein was working for Mossad.
This is what you get when you think the reason your party won in 2012 is because memes pointing out, that Obama was a good Christian and Romney had several divorces…
