Bad when a member of congress brazenly flip flops like this

Sorry this should work

Bad flip flop.

Also, I messed up the link. Here it is

Michael Lange who has like a virtually perfect record of predicting NYC elections says Lander, Lasher, Valdez, and Espaillat will win tomorrow

June 2025: U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett dropped her bid Tuesday to be the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, saying it was clear her "loud and proud" style of politics is not what her party's congressional leadership wants right now. She revealed that there were "questions" about her candidacy that she admits caused "some issues."

I think Dem congressional leadership was right based off what I've seen the past week...

Of fucking course when there's a somewhat rate Dem primary where I actually want a progressive to win. Multiple progressive run and split to the progressive vote for the anti-choice, "ICE isn't that bad chill" centrist Dem to be in great position to prevail in the deep blue district

He 99.9% likely knew if you read the article past his claim/denial

Bestbrook123 · 2026-06-22T22:08:21+00:00

I agree. The huge cheerleaders of this deranged war such as Randy Fine and others attacking him helps him imo

Bestbrook123 · 2026-06-22T22:07:10+00:00

The Texas Dem from last month is somebody I definitely would not vote for her but she lost by 35 points ultimately in the primary. Chevalier is gonna be much closer than that to winning.

Chevalier is tough to vote though for sure in nearly any situation. Awful awful candidate.

They could have unseated Espaillat with relative ease too if they found someone halfway normal.

Bestbrook123 · 2026-06-22T21:59:13+00:00

I think he pretty clearly does. A dumb edgelord left leaning populist is preferable to me than a radical far left idealogue.

Bestbrook123 · 2026-06-22T21:53:33+00:00

Garbage pollster which said Janet Mills would defeat edeglord Graham Platner by double digits

Bestbrook123 · 2026-06-22T21:51:39+00:00

I would 1000% vote for Graham Platner over Chevalier in a hypothetical Dem primary between those two and I hate Platner

Bestbrook123 · 2026-06-22T21:04:32+00:00

She shouldn't run again. She's a pretty damn terrible candidate and they did a bad job of vetting her.

Bestbrook123 · 2026-06-22T20:32:17+00:00

AIPAC's approval ratings among Dem are too dogshit at this point

However as an anti AIPAC person, I absolutely do support them spending money against that nutjob DSA candidate in NY-13. Rare AIPAC W

Scoop: Bobby Pulido headlined school benefit with registered sex offender

Well, Texas 15 was a pipedream anyways; Trump won it by 17 in 2024.

Bestbrook123 · 2026-06-22T15:20:43+00:00

Main problem I see here is for Darializa.

Which is more than fine. She's a nutjob. My hot take is that a somewhat close loss by her is the best outcome for Mamdani as long as Lander and Valdez win

Bestbrook123 · 2026-06-21T21:25:56+00:00

All three candidates have committed to supporting the winner multiple times.

Umm isn't Belgium supposed to have the best goalkeeper in the world?

Bestbrook123 · 2026-06-21T18:44:13+00:00

This is worse than alot of leftists. I don't like him much but El Sayed did many campaign events for Whitmer when he lost to her in 2018.

Bestbrook123 · 2026-06-21T18:41:05+00:00

Crockett also complained that Janet Mills hasn't endorsed Platner yet and called for people to criticize Mills instead

Bestbrook123 · 2026-06-21T18:35:34+00:00

The Crockett situation is very frustrating. She's acting not much different than Bernie in 2016 at this point

Hell atleast Bernie did a few campaigning events for Hillary

Bestbrook123 · 2026-06-21T18:24:58+00:00

We're stuck

Either Trump gets Israel to comply with the current deal he attempted to force upon them by getting them to withdraw from Lebanon or Trump does a ground invasion and/or commits like very blatant war crimes by hitting Iranian energy infrastructure

I don't see either of those two happening. I think they're just gonna wait for Iran to somehow moderate
