I think the thing that doesn’t make me think that was that if you watch the press conference, Mamdani never backed down on any former criticism of trump, while trump basically just glazed Mamdani. Sure, Mamdani expressed willingness to work with trump on affordability and such, but never compromised his core beliefs or denied that they have plenty of differences.

16·15 days agoBest guess is probably to pay transition team staff and such
Edit: actually went and read the article and yea pretty much just staffing
The campaign said the money will be used primarily for recruiting and retaining during the transition period as the administration takes shape.

Curated Tumblr@sh.itjust.works•On not wearing headphones in public placesEnglish
4·16 days agoThis. And tbh, I wear headphones when I’m alone most of the time anyways because they move with me without having to remember to pick up my phone/have a free hand, plus just better audio quality than shitty phone speakers anyways.
And kitties deserve extra kindness :3
I’d at least say every human deserves kindness until proven otherwise. That is certainly a loseable thing tho

Eh, at the very least the entire leadership structure deserves it. And probably also most of the dems not condemning it or calling for leadership change tbh.
I agree that it shouldn’t be the whole party thrown under, but the problem is bigger than just those who voted for it plus Schumer.

I literally did watch the video last time, and tbh I thought I did respond after you sent the timestamp but I’m guessing I like half wrote out a reply, got distracted and never finished lol, gotta love ADHD
Okay so I did actually watch it, basically what I’m getting is that purity testing is good and the only true leftists are the ones he agrees with, and only the furthest of the left deserve that label.
How is this productive? Is coalition building not valuable at all? Id even agree platner isn’t a leftist, just progressive at best. But even still, is there no value in supporting him against his conservative opponent?
Also, his comment about the amount of people who have military skeletons in their closet being miniscule is simply wrong. I looked it up, 6% of the population in the US are veterans. In Maine, where platner is running, it’s 9%. That’s a lot of people, for whom platner being a vet is a massive plus, and on top of that the general culture of respecting vets in the US cannot be discounted, as bad as you may see it.










I didn’t even see that and now I also hate it here
