Randy Fine only got about 56% of the vote in the same district Waltz (group chat guy) got 67% in the November election. No wonder they pulled Elise Stefanik's nomination.02 Apr 2025 02:27 +0000at://did:plc:mcmfbh5lczedev5brglfhld6/app.bsky.feed.post/3llsdm5hqsc22https://bsky.app/profile/alexandralin.bsky.social/post/3llf34glkxs2pMust read politics book. TLDR; rural voters are weird, irrational, and hold wacky grievances. The path to electoral success in rural and red america requires respecting and listening to opinions dem talking heads would likely consider stupid.27 Mar 2025 19:50 +0000at://did:plc:mcmfbh5lczedev5brglfhld6/app.bsky.feed.post/3llf34glkxs2phttps://bsky.app/profile/alexandralin.bsky.social/post/3lku3q3nt6s2q It looks looks like Greenpeace now has to pay around $660 million after losing Energy Transfer's SLAPP suit over DAPL protests.

Ex: Gen-z men, BIPOC voters, huge dem turnout drop, right wing media ecosystem, etc25 Dec 2024 00:39 +0000at://did:plc:mcmfbh5lczedev5brglfhld6/app.bsky.feed.post/3le3pvk4nx22xhttps://bsky.app/profile/alexandralin.bsky.social/post/3ldwcvtxipc2rWe have to stop lying to ourselves: Joe Rogan, inflation, and immigration are not the only reasons democrats lost. There is fundamental rot at the core of the democratic party that we have to fix. It starts with not running candidates that are charisma black holes.22 Dec 2024 21:03 +0000at://did:plc:mcmfbh5lczedev5brglfhld6/app.bsky.feed.post/3ldwcvtxipc2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/alexandralin.bsky.social/post/3ldrqr6gqp22mClimate change could be a populist talking point for Democrats.

I think the left is seriously underestimating how likeable and appealing JD is. He's going to be the 2028 GOP nominee and we need to start working on better attacks than he's a couch f'er.20 Dec 2024 02:35 +0000at://did:plc:mcmfbh5lczedev5brglfhld6/app.bsky.feed.post/3ldpe2ignl22ehttps://bsky.app/profile/alexandralin.bsky.social/post/3ldpcypddrc2eThe GOP calls every single Democratic candidate an open border woke socialist for just breathing. Let’s use that to our advantage. No matter what Dems do the attacks will be the same. We have nothing to lose by pushing economic populism and anti-establishment.20 Dec 2024 02:16 +0000at://did:plc:mcmfbh5lczedev5brglfhld6/app.bsky.feed.post/3ldpcypddrc2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/alexandralin.bsky.social/post/3lbbkuoukxe2vHere are some cool maps and figures for a paper I'm working on Wetland Mitigation Banking.19 Nov 2024 04:10 +0000at://did:plc:mcmfbh5lczedev5brglfhld6/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbbkuoukxe2v
