People here falling for the Chinese propaganda. Never change ATRL.

China: *asks trading partners to start trading in their currency*

Brazil: *agrees to start trading in the yuan*

Someone: *reposts a tweet reporting on this factually occurring event*

You: "Hmmm smells like the Chinaman is spreading his propaganda in here!!! Fake news!!"

 

Sis, I'm not trying to be rude, but are you literate?

My guess is that he takes issue with the framing of Joe Biden being at fault. Which... hey, it's fair, since he's merely doing the bidding of the Intelligence Communities and Defense Blob that anyone either Party would ever allow to be president would.

I saw! I am actually really impressed, because polling had Vallas way ahead

 

Edit:

 

This anti-trans (“GC”) Democrat has been cheerleading Vallas for months and going “Dems need to get tough on crime so I’m glad Biden is denying DC the ability to govern itself”

 

If Vallas really loses, I’m perched for his reactions in particular.

Matt Boxer is the absolute worst representation of democrats imaginable, and him thinking he can speak for voters of Chicago pissed me off relentlessly. Paul Vallas is a conservative, as someone that’s lived in Chicago, and grew up just outside the city my whole life: chicagoans HATE conservatives. 
 

Now on to the more important race in Wisconsin

What's funny is he's a Republican-lite from California, so him thinking he can dictate that the party needs to reject progressives and shift more towards Republicans like Manchin and Vallas is even more galling

You should dig deeper to see his posts calling Lia Thomas a cheating man and deadnames Elliott Page, calling him delusional.

 

He was radicalized by people writing mean tweets to the author we're not allowed to talk about anymore, apparently.  Constantly rails against trans activists. Really disgusting behavior actually.

Oh wow. But I was told by fellow ATRL centrists just like him that Dems need to be right-wing (including pro-cop) to win. 

 

The story in Chicago seems to be telling a completely different story.

Well, after the ascent of Eric Adams, I could see why that would be a prevailing view.

 

r/neoliberal is big mad over this too  

[If U Seek Amy]

Still early but Wisconsin looks safe. Dem counties they are STOMPING. And in Republican counties they are mostly below, and in some cases far below, trump, who lost to Biden.

AP and the major networks calling it for Janet, it's over  

[Sergi91]

From the NYT:

Her election to a 10-year term for an officially nonpartisan seat gives Wisconsin’s liberals a 4-to-3 majority on the court, which has been controlled by conservatives since 2008. Liberals will hold a court majority until at least 2025, when a liberal justice’s term expires. A conservative justice’s term ends in 2026.
