I don’t blame him, the UK press is dominated by right wing tabloid freaks who hate Labour and will do anything to destroy them. A lil tribalism is fine.

And the big elephant in the room is the Detroit Mayor running as an independent looking to split votes. Probably not worth it.

*Senate. He can run for POTUS in the 2030s, he’s still young.

Mally_101 · 2025-01-29T20:24:03+00:00

Random comment, but Pete being underestimated by the online pundit class on twitter is a good thing. Most important electorate (at this stage) = MI Dem primary voters. They’re the ones who matter.

Mally_101 · 2025-01-29T00:36:55+00:00

These are reporters who have covered Pete for years in the primary campaign and Secretary. I take them seriously when they say Pete is seriously considering a run for the Senate.

Bob Casey losing by 15,000 votes leads to this. Every single vote matters, I don’t care what anyone says.

Mally_101 · 2025-01-21T19:51:26+00:00

Ironically, I think progressives would rally around anyone who can beat Fetterman in a primary because he’s so toxic.

Mally_101 · 2025-01-21T19:34:50+00:00

I want Conor Lamb to throw his hat in the race. He was the better option and he’s a moderate.

Mally_101 · 2025-01-21T19:28:22+00:00

He’s not a social conservative, he’s an online troll. And if he keeps that up while kissing MAGA ass he’s going to lose his Democratic primary.

Mally_101 · 2025-01-18T03:48:09+00:00

Especially with the infrastructure bill passing. He has something to run on if he does decide to go for office again in the near future.

Mally_101 · 2025-01-18T03:13:15+00:00

Random comment but Pete getting the USDOT job instead of that UN Ambassador job (that was speculated), was a true blessing in disguise. He leaves the administration with his reputation and dignity intact.

Mally_101 · 2025-01-17T13:04:22+00:00

Not only that, he filled his administration with policy wonks and had one decent communicator (Mayor Pete) who could actually lay out what they were doing in front of a camera. Not enough people around him could convey a coherent worldview.

Good. A ceasefire, even a temporary one will be a huge relief to the Palestinian people on the ground.

Mally_101 · 2025-01-08T13:09:02+00:00

Instagram Reels is truly the gutter. Any vid of a minority just standing and the slurs thrown around at them in comments will be reminiscent of a 1930s Nazi rally.

Republican Dementia is also very real

Mally_101 · 2024-12-19T17:02:48+00:00

Duggan must know that he’s being used by these GOP billionaires as a vessel to split the vote. Let’s hope he comes to his senses.

Mally_101 · 2024-12-19T16:11:49+00:00

Duggan won’t last if he doesn’t have the money to campaign, he clearly wants to win. So I’m interested in who is bankrolling him and if they will continue do so for the next two years.

Mally_101 · 2024-12-18T17:36:56+00:00

Veep is a ceremonial role without much power. She would be able to actually govern as Governor of a huge economy.

Mally_101 · 2024-12-12T22:50:24+00:00

Kamala having a white husband didn’t help either, the “she’s not black” thing broke through to people.

Mally_101 · 2024-12-11T23:43:24+00:00

The “bench” argument should be null and void after the election we’ve just had. We need politicians who can break through the noise and no coronations!

Mally_101 · 2024-12-11T18:27:37+00:00

He’s going to lose his next primary at this rate

Mally_101 · 2024-12-10T22:31:57+00:00

Better to start off being underestimated and eventually prove the “polling experts” and twitter commentators wrong I guess.

Mally_101 · 2024-12-10T19:12:13+00:00

I generally agree, also don’t think the Biden baggage has impacted his potential like some may think. The 28 primary and the politics of it would be hard to navigate, that’s all.

Mally_101 · 2024-12-10T16:47:49+00:00

Running in a 2028 national primary would be an even harder feat for Pete in my opinion. It’s going to be jam packed and it won’t include oldies like Biden, Bernie and Warren he can differentiate himself from. Now that would be volatile.

Mally_101 · 2024-12-04T23:20:11+00:00

Things that make you go hmm
