The centrists are chickens with their heads cut off. Let's go Will. @nooniebao

If you do not want this now-minority faction of Dems to give Dems a bad name, you must commit to the idea that these Dems be primaried. Find your rep on the list below if so. Ones highlighted in yellow have a competitive primary still happening.

Also ddd centrists have loved using her as some (in their words) token of who to point to as better when attacking the left yet I've started to see it pointed out in replies to such tweets asking why moderates don't want other centrists to have Underwood's record on foreign policy? If you actually look at people's voting record in proportion to their district, she is the most progressive Dem in a district that voted under D+5. The Democratic Party would look extremely different if Lauren Underwood was its most centrist flank and not people like Hillary Scholten.

Saikat, you will be reborn as a lotus flower, king. @TomSteyer open up your ******* purse.

?

I actually feel bad for liberals as so many of them as voters are expecting a massive blue wave backlash to Trump in the midterms when these kind of actions by Democrats turn off everyone and will contribute, alongside putting up uninspired centrist candidates, why the Dems will struggle to even have a tied Senate for 2027-2028.

The way this is all happening and we're sad due to the influence of money in politics but also at the same time the main centrist running for Wisconsin governor just announced her campaign treasurer was stealing all of her money and she's effectively broke with just a month until the primary and is unable to spend... ... We might actually get Governor Hong jnknknnkj LONG LIVE FRANCESCA HONG!!!

This being what they were doing between all that freak nasty ****.

I think they pointed out that the pollster has had Haley ahead the whole time, and that the +8 is actually a shift from +3 to +8 as McMorrow fell out. Such a shift means the race has actually shifted to a pure toss-up as opposed to being Stevens +7.

Not sure if the song in the OP was actually considered for Britney but "Britney Spears pitch demos" is like a golden sub-category of music. This bop!

People really are not ready for the race war level of vitriol this is going to all result in. There's just no meaningful way any person could reasonably expect Arab & Muslim voters in Michigan to get behind Stevens. If her supporters are to be believed and the average black grandparent in Michigan resents Muslims for causing Harris to lose the state, I just can't imagine when Dems don't even hit a tied Senate because Michigan also swung for Republicans.

Them having her in 4K ddddd Roger's would play this on loop on TV.

How is dating someone being a hoe? She happily dated Ricky for a year in 2015-16 and they remained friends, with him showing up again when Mac died to be there for her. She's 33 and has had a single digital amount of relationships. Most of her recent ones spanning multiple years. 1) Jai - 18 Months on and off, Ariana was 19-20 2) Sean - 7 months max, Ariana was 21 3) Ricky - 14 months, Ariana was 22-23 4) Mac - 21 Months, Ariana was 23-25 5) Pete - 5 Months, Ariana was 25 6) Dalton - roughly 2.5 years, Married, Ariana was 27-30 7) Ethan - roughly 2.5 years, Ariana was 30-33 Y'all slutshaming her is why we ain't never get any good tea on her alleged month long bisexual fling with Njomza!

Like the Nathan relationship was objectively fake and them not actually dating. Scooter was out of his depth and didn't foresee that forcing her to dump a Youtuber was going to have that Youtuber be messy on social media. (And they went right back to dating lol) Her and Big Sean did seem like celebrity matchmaking, but did try to actually date based on him showing up in the background of stuff Frankie would post on social media post-Big Brother 16. But I think she was genuine that they just weren't a match and only dated for a few months in hindsight. From her saying the Into You video was about "rejecting big bougie facades" and the recording dates for Dangerous Woman, I wouldn't be shocked if Scooter wanted her to dump Ricky in 2016 to launch DW and do another PR relationship and she just said... no lol. And that the video is referencing that. -- People play in her face but her dating history isn't really as mentally ill as people claim. These men have always been just as messy as her. Big Sean was dating Jhene Aiko on and off for years. He and Ariana "officially" broke up and a month later he was filming a music video where he and Jhene were playing lovers - while Jhene was secretly married. Mac Miller constantly played in my good sis' face any time he and that Nomi girl fell out like "...hey best friend". Releasing an album named after your long-term girlfriend ("Divine Feminine") featuring your brand new girlfriend with a song explicitly about ******* her ("Cinderella")... In hindsight, she probably should have stayed with Ricky instead of getting with Mac, but even Mac's close friend confirmed in 2022 that Ariana and Mac reunited not for romantic purposes, but that she was his only celebrity friend in June 2016 who came to visit him when he entered rehab. And the time they spent doing things like Pokemon Go or Disney were her trying to help him do sober activities. (Her and Pete only being a thing that happened cause Mac dumped Ariana and sent her into a mental health spiral after being his sober support system for 21 months. Her then dating someone for just five months and only getting from it a failed engagement and a drinking problem.... ) (Y'all can clown my sis but never forget that these men are also dogs!!!!!)

Don Benjamin in the video for Into You is meant to be him dddd. She literally fired Scooter cause he demanded she dump him after donutgate.

Well Republicans and a handful of Dems including people like Jon Ossoff and House Members like Angie Craig who is running for the Senate - The Minnesota Senate race will be just as consequential as the Michigan Senate race.

Need Abdul to put out an ad like: "ENDORSED BY OBAMA FOR SENATE? THAT'S A LIE" "ENDORSED BY UNITED AUTO WORKERS? THAT'S A LIE." "WHAT IS THE TRUTH ABOUT HALEY STEVENS?" "SHE VOTED TO FUND TRUMP'S ICE" "SHE VOTED TO HONOR CHARLIE KIRK" -cut to clip of Charlie Kirk saying "Black women do not have the brain processing power to be taken seriously"-

Okay, she's just objectively islamophobic at this point.

Private practice therapists and psychologists do factor in costs but the idea that she's rejecting Medicare for the lower reimbursements rates is intellectually dishonest. Because if she was only concerned about lowered reimbursements, she'd happily take private insurance. But she doesn't, like many in her field, because the average amount of administrative work entailed. If you're a private therapist who sees clients out of your own practice, to accept insurance, you need staff who will then do: Manage credentialing to get in network as a provider with each insurance company Insurance Intake (properly documenting the patient's insurance information and utilizing an internal system to store this information that Is secure due to PHI) Manage diagnostic codes from physician orders and then CPT codes to know what services to actually bill for Have billing staff to then handle when denials come back who can then address which insurance the denial is from, why the denial happened (timely filing, frequency, and preauthorization limitations vary by insurance company), etc. Keeping in mind that most private insurance companies do not often find mental health services medically necessary, so even if someone with their own practice spends the money to have a robust EHR system that sends everything off to a clearing house to double check or they pay to have a third party ancillary company do all of their billing…..the insurance company can often deny total reimbursement and now the therapist still has to issue the patient an invoice as the provider for the remaining balance. Almost like it would be better and make healthcare more accessible if there was only one singular insurance payor that universalized care in America.

I actually saw this one on twitter recently and am curious what people would get: britmonkey.com2020s Political Compass TestIn this era of post-materialism, where the traditional left-right divide has given way to more vibes-based politics, this test hopes to refresh the outdated policy-oriented political compass tests …

Do you have any insight on MI-10, sis? I noticed Rashida, Donavan, etc. were endorsed with Christina Hines by a random PAC that also endorsed Will Lawrence but her other endorsements are.. like EMILY's List? There's a chance there's no progressive option in the race looking at the other options?? ddd Eric Chung feels progressive-coded but his priorities, like on immigration, reference "parents communists in Vietnam" and not Abolish ICE, and his endorsements are just a bunch of centrist House Dems? Is Tim Greimel well-known as a mayor? His endorsements are largely labor unions? He doesn't have a policy page outside of that.

The CBC attacking Will Lawrence for his comment about the black Democratic Establishment while we see how in real-time Haley Stevens using Obama is going to lead to one of the biggest examples of "won the primary, lost the general" due to the prominence of elderly black voters.
