Ironically Israeley Stevens kind of undermined the moderate democratic argument about the electability of leftist dems with her nonsense. Abdul did underperform in comparison to other democrats, but Steven's betrayal muddies this significantly. Then there is the Islamophobia factor as well which is not relevant to all left-wing dems and is a seperate electability conversation Overall I think the progressive wing comes out of this looking strong. No significant upsets losses, several highly popular figures going in to 2028 who wield significant endorsement power. Just need to get it right with the candidate in the primary now

The swings in some of these Texas Latino majority counties from 2024 are like 50 points

Trump won Mississipi by 23 points

The concept of having Democratic senators in Mississipi, North Carolina, South Carolina & Kansas. What in the 1963 is going AWN

Im going to stream Choosin Texas for the first time ever in honour of this result

Hes looking good right now so Im not too worried. This would be a disaster for progressives tho given it would be compared to high results for moderates.

I cant wait to see SuCo OUT. Inject that into my veins

Florida a redder state than Kansas & South Carolina

South Carolina is such a colossal fuckup for the Republicans. Historic too. 6 years of a democrat in a Trump +18 state. Lmaooo

This absolute thrashing ahh Proud of yall, gonna be a great night

I mean shes right, without Republicans flipping it is straight up not possible so what would even be the point

New Xlov is soooo good they never let me down

They are a danger to every country, unfortunately for y'all they just have easier access to guns. On a societal level, teenage boys are literally a straight up menace that needs things in place to be controlled. Especially those between the ages of 15-19. Vastly overrepresented on every negative statistic you can think of. It's not acknowledged or discussed enough. We should look to parts of the world where they are not as much of a menace (ie East Asia)

Maybe there is some ignorance on the part of Americans on just how influential and global your politics are, probably nowhere moreso than in Australia. Every kid at my school 3000 miles away knows who Mamdani is (and has a positive opinion of him). Everything that happens in your politics has a flow on effect for us. The faction of the left I talk about is a global one and the way it exists here in Australia is completely indistinguishable and not at all different to how it exists in America. My IRL politics stuff involves a lot of fighting with Victorian Socialist and Greens party members (as a Labor volunteer) here in Aus who behave in the exact same way. Despite what Communion says i never say the american left - it is always 'the far left' or 'the online left' or 'this left faction' because to me it is all one group. Would I really be as interested in this if it wasnt? And then there is the fact that I am a teacher and I literally teach a grade 11/12 course called Global Politics. Literally next week I am running a 2 week unit in my year 10 politics class on the US midterm election... because the kids want me to and asked for it. Palestine also has been an enormous topic here potentially to an extent that is greater than in the US. So this stuff... just is relevant to me and my life? I'll put it this way, I may seem far away and foreign to all of you, but you do not seem so to me. Small country vs big country things ig Also, to me it seems obvious that Communion doesn't like that I offer genuine challenges and questions for his worldview (particularly around issues of violence and authoritarianism) and so resorts to the same tired 'you're Australian' response literally every post I ever make. I think it is pretty transparent

You're so boring. How can you even be bothered to type out this same tired ass, useless retort you do any time I say anything. Especially given in this case it is even less relevent as we are talking about an international issue and an international, highly online faction of the left. The Melbourne Oct 7th protest was quite large, this is every bit as relevant to me as it is to you. There was even somebody with a Mamdani sign when I walked paet. Also, are you not aware of the enormous irony of this post? An oversized interest in politics from thousands of miles away and being interested/making commentary on things that they can personally have very little influence over... Who else does that I wonder? Also... most people posting in here are not New Yorkers including you I believe. Is thst really all that different from me posting about this? Its just such a banal retort
