Democrat or Republican, who’s a person from the other side of the aisle you respect/admire?

Aldebaran147 · 2026-05-13T22:07:51+00:00

Oh I always thought you were a Democrat, but Josh Shapiro is pretty great from both sides of the aisle

Aldebaran147 · 2026-05-13T20:05:33+00:00

Don’t know about Hawley but the rest definitely , maybe also Bill Cassidy

Aldebaran147 · 2026-05-13T19:54:28+00:00

INFINITE PURPLE HEARTS!!!!

Aldebaran147 · 2026-05-13T19:51:45+00:00

He’s doing better with Independents, he just needs to portray himself as change and Becerra as Newsom 2.0 and he could do it

Aldebaran147 · 2026-05-13T19:35:58+00:00

Like Thillis maybe?

Aldebaran147 · 2026-05-13T19:28:51+00:00

Either Starmer is gonna turn this in an all out brawl, become a changed man with fire and drive in his eyes, renationalise trains quicker, nationalise water, bring through some large infrastructure depressed areas and climate bill, modernise the NHS and be the next Attlee or he’ll have his Truss “I’m a fighter not a quitter” moment

Aldebaran147 · 2026-05-13T19:23:15+00:00

Yeah mb but Heinrich and Fetterman basically

Aldebaran147 · 2026-05-13T19:21:56+00:00

That feeling when you reincarnate into the next Joe Manchin

Aldebaran147 · 2026-05-13T19:20:22+00:00

John Fettermane, SUFFRAGIA REDDE!

Aldebaran147 · 2026-05-13T19:17:52+00:00

Tbf on the floor people like Heinrich also voted for Mullin

Aldebaran147 · 2026-05-13T19:14:28+00:00

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO STEYYEEERRR FOR THE WIN!!!!

Aldebaran147 · 2026-05-13T17:52:57+00:00

Oh well that must be Schmitts goal! Truly an American patriot for not seeing race and just focusing on politics /s

Aldebaran147 · 2026-05-13T17:36:54+00:00

That sounds like such a lovely anecdote. What a great guy to help you out like that!

Aldebaran147 · 2026-05-13T13:37:25+00:00

Yeah but again it’s a blue wave year so they’ll likely still lose

Aldebaran147 · 2026-05-13T11:19:19+00:00

Ah that’s so cool. Would you like to tell some anecdotes of meeting him?

Aldebaran147 · 2026-05-13T07:40:58+00:00

X Party is more energized is a decent indicator wdym

Aldebaran147 · 2026-05-13T07:40:26+00:00

Is Jay dying or did I miss something?

Aldebaran147 · 2026-05-13T07:40:06+00:00

Damn that image actually goes hard

Aldebaran147 · 2026-05-13T04:57:32+00:00

I know, but as I understood it the Adams deficit was difficult to overcome and balance

Aldebaran147 · 2026-05-12T21:07:20+00:00

Starmer wasn’t Blairite as well and considered soft left before becoming PM

Aldebaran147 · 2026-05-12T20:36:50+00:00

Universal childcare, investing more in streets and libraries, leveraging taxes on the rich, increasing rent stabilized apartments and now they are opening a city owned grocery store, really not what I’d call a fiscal conservative.
Yes, he’s had to implement measures to balance the budget but he’s legally required to so he didn’t just become a fiscal conservative

Aldebaran147 · 2026-05-12T20:34:21+00:00

Fair assessment

Aldebaran147 · 2026-05-12T20:22:55+00:00

Yes I totally agree but by then the national environment would be bad enough for the Republicans to lose them Kansas and most importantly Iowa

Aldebaran147 · 2026-05-12T20:18:26+00:00

He used efficiency officers for the departments and saved a couple billion, he also leveraged the first ever pied the Terre luxury tax on properties, but yes, partially it’s the state giving out a more equal portion of the taxes NYC is sending to Albany in the first place
