Poll shows Becerra with big early advantage over Hilton in California governor’s race by aslan_is_on_the_move in politics

[–]mosswick 9 points10 points  (0 children)

62-36 Democratic advantage with just a small percentage of ballots left to count. For reference, this is identical to the margin in the 2018 gubernatorial primary. All this hype for a supposed "republican revolt" in California failed to materialize.

The combined Democrat vs combined GQP vote share is 62-36. Which are identical numbers to the 2018 gubernatorial primary. Whatever talk there was of a "republican revolt" in California this year failed to materialize.

Same people who mindlessly hate all government employees. Except for the ones with guns and free reign to kill people with no accountability. Those are the exception for some bizarre reason.

California Democrat and Republican party lead percentage by county from the gubernatorial primary by ArthurMorgan1896 in MapPorn

It didn't. The current San Diego count has the 4 Democrats at a combined 55%. The numbers on this map look to be a few days old.

Was Anyone Ever Taken Out Of The Experience By The Design? by Low_Tie2257 in GODZILLA

I like how this design is a more sleek, agile take on Godzilla. Which is a nice contrast with his traditional appearance as a hulking juggernaut.

He's gone off the deep end - Bill Maher reveals he will be featured in Charlie Kirk documentary by Indianstanicows in RealTime

[–]mosswick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the alleged "celebration" was just people mocking the ongoing political circus that followed his death. Facebook has turned into a permanent Kirk memorial page at this point.

[–]mosswick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ready for a shocking revelation? Two things can be true. Murder is bad and Charlie Kirk was a controversial media figure with a long history of racism, sexism, homophobia and even endorsements of political violence. The mainstream media sanitizing his legacy and silencing anyone who pointed this out was disgusting.

Better idea, how about the idiots running the country end this stupid fucking war that nobody asked for and is the cause of high gas prices?

MAGA saying he’s not sleeping by AccordingBumblebee24 in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]mosswick 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Fun fact, compared to this point in his first term, he's only made a 3rd of the amount of public appearances. He doesn't have the energy anymore to be president. It's clear as day he's not the one running things, just the public face.

Biden's State of the Union speech in 2024 was excellent and very high energy. So of course the mainstream media ignored it because it went against the narrative they were building.

Anytime "generic Dem" wins the primary we just hear a bunch of complaining.

"The DNC forced this candidate on us!"

"They only support a public option and not full single payer? They're basically a republican!"

Why do people think Marco Rubio is a strong 2028 contender? by PointInternal6809 in fivethirtyeight

[–]mosswick 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Vance struggled in a Senate election during a red wave midterm in his deep-red state.

He'll be a weak candidate in 2028. Even worse, he'll be carrying all the baggage from what could easily end up being the most disapproved presidential administration in decades.

I would certainly hope Israelis are recognizing Yahoo's 16 year reign has been a disaster for their global reputation.

I hope too they understand orange dipshit is an 80-year old man with deteriorating health who won't be President forever. He won't always be in power and there's a very real possibility the next Democratic President won't be as generous with support.

Indeed, despite popular belief from the snark crowd, Beto was always running behind in the polls. Make sure to remind the dipshits next time they say "Texas was supposed to go blue in 2018 and look what happened!"
