I'm not 100% sure Rashida Tlaib is endorsing him at the moment. She's been very angry about Gaza and the actions of the administration. She has family living there still. I know she advocated voting uncommitted in the primary. I THINK she's going to endorse in the general but I'm not positive.

I saw Bennett. I was interested specifically in the other group. Thank you for posting this on twitter, but I don't go there. I'll take your word for it on Punchbowl.

about Jews and gay people and started to figure out what else he was wrong about. He came all the way out and is 180 degrees from where he was and it all started because some Jewish students at New College talked to him and invited him to interact with them and he did. It can be worth a chance.

When people ask why I try and educate and interact with racist fuckers, my answer is always Derek Black. He was so deep inside the racist bubble that he had a weekly radio show on his dad's network and was white power all the way. Then he went away to college and met people and realized he was wrong

Perot didn't gain any electoral votes in either 1992, which was his most successful run, or in 1996. That said he did do incredibly well for a 3rd party ticket and finished ahead of George HW Bush in Maine in 1992.

I know they get rolled all the time but for the Times to get rolled by “actually they just want to reclaim the values of Western civilization as they see it … with larger families and fewer immigrants” is the Times putting the 14 words in the paper

I have been screaming that for YEARS. The number of problems that would be fixed if we changed dance partners from KSA and it's allies to Iran is very, very large. We just need different leadership in Iran.

Concrete Blonde does a live cover of Janis Joplin's Mercedes Benz which is awesome. Speaking of Janis, Me And Bobby McGee is technically a cover too. I think even Chris Christopherson thought her version is better than his.

Actually, after some quick checks, it's on the ballot in NO states, but has hopes that it will get back on the Florida ballot.

Reform is the exception that proves the rule too. It only got off the ground because Perot was able to thrown TONS of cash at it right from the start to get ballot access. His success kept it on the ballot for several cycles after he left the scene. It has since fallen off most state ballot.

over the voters on the right will probably take 100+ seats back in the next general election based on combined numbers. Labour has a huge opportunity because they more or less CAN'T be forced out for 7 years, but they have to do something with it to grab more of the electorate than they have now.

Basically Labour didn't win, the Conservatives lost. Labour's vote totals only increased about about 1.7%. The Tories dropped 20%, of which probably 3/4 of that went to Reform UK, who are even more reactionary and racist than the Tories are. Whichever of those 2 parties wins the power struggle

And tribal loyalty will keep a lot of people supporting the party long after its done a complete shift in policies. There are lots of Republicans who don't like Trump on the ticket but are still voting for every other Republican on every ticket forever. Progressives should want that from the Dems.

There's a reason that the reactionary thugs hollowed out and hijacked an existing major party. It already did all the ballot access, corporate setup, donor relations, branding, etc. It's so much easier. That's not facetious. It really is. Just getting ballot access is a 20 year long impossible ask.

Also extremely interesting that the SNP is getting obliterated tonight. They may end up losing 40 seats and they only started out with 48! And it's confirmed that Labour have won the London and Westminster seat, which the Tories have held since 1950. Total London wipeout.

But Sunak kept his seat, and rather comfortably too. A lot of Tory ministers got flung out though. I'm still dying to see if the Tories can hang on to Cities of London and Westminster. They have been essentially wiped out of London tonight.

The big story tonight is the surge of the Tories are not racist enough for me voting block. Reform took close to half of what the Conservative total from the last general election was. Labour didn't really increase their vote totals a ton, the Tories just hemorrhaged votes to their right. Not great.

Either way, the resulting party will probably have a good chance win the next general election unless Labour profoundly fix the broken things in the UK in the next few years.

I don't think that's sustainable. Either the Tories will digest most of that back in and stay how it is and the rump Reform party will get even more racist and homophobic or the Reform people will take over the Conservative party and the rump Conservatives will go into the wilderness or LibDem it.

Labour are going to have a crushing majority in the next house, but I'm still a little uneasy. They're not really picking up a huge swing from the Tory side. They're currently, and it's incredibly early, up only 2.2% over last election. The swing is the Tory hemorrhage to the Reform side.

And he made up his stage name because acting was considered a very low morals profession at the time and he was afraid his family would be mortified to be linked to him. He stayed away from England for 20 years. It turned out that his family was delighted for and proud of him.

Completely absurd. I can't imagine this. He would have been on as Vice President in 1868 for Andrew Johnson. So a Johnson-Kennedy ticket.
