For the win

Billionaires are mad. Fox News is mad. Republicans are mad. Zohran — and Hochul — for the win www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

Democrats work for us

Mamdani: Today is an incredible win for working people. We’re talking about a $1.2 billion commitment to make universal childcare a reality. What today’s commitment shows is that working families will no longer have to choose between the city they love and the family they want to raise.

Schumer and Jeffries look even more spineless

Hochul, belatedly, does the right thing and endorses Mamdani. Makes Schumer and Jeffries look even more ‘spineless’, to quote Sen. Van Hollen.

Dems have had enough

Hochul: "This is what I call a legal insurrection ... they know they're going to lose next year. That's the only reason they're engaged in this. It also might be a nice distraction from people asking -- all of the sudden this happens when? When they refuse to release the Epstein files."

You know what? Fuck off

Phang: Good for Pritzker, good for Hochul, good for Newsom—good for these other Democratic governors who are saying, “You know what? F off.” We’re not going to let people in these other states—people who are under attack and trying to do the right thing for their constituents—go without support

The Colbert-Busch report

So Elizabeth Colbert Busch went down to defeat tonight in SC-01, not particularly surprisingly.  I received dozens of e-mails in the last couple of weeks asking for cash support, all of which I wisely deleted.  Frankly, this project was a good waste of Democratic time and money--Colbert Busch was a DINO with a few Progressive views, facing the extremely flawed Mark Sanford, and very likely would have lost in 2014 versus a less controversial candidate (see also, Kathy Hochul) even if she had won.  Trying to win a Southern congressional seat in a deep red district with a weak ass Liberal was hopeless and we should have just wished Colbert Busch well and moved on to more possible victories.

On a side note that won't be much discussed in the traditional media, for all the republicans' talk about family values and wasteful government spending, they sure didn't seem to have much trouble voting for Sanford who left his wife and four boys for another woman while he was Governor, and cost the people of South Carolina millions of dollars with his shenanigans.

Can you say hypocrisy, boys and girls?

Expecting the worst, hoping for the best

Herein lies the pisser of being a Liberal Democrat:

I went to bed last night with a huge smile on my face--all was right with the electoral world.  After the ass kicking that the 2010 elections gave us, last night's win by Kathy Hochul in NY-26, a hardcore republican district, was sweet as kisses from your sweetie.  And though I couldn't stay up until late in the evening to savor the victory, I saw enough of the post-election Democratic chatter to hear that they were saying all the right things (i.e., Medicare, Medicare, Medicare).

And then I woke up this morning.  And the first thought I had?  How can we fuck this up?  Because if there's a way, we'll find it (with friends like Steny, who needs republicans? and hey, what the fuck kind of name is Steny anyway?). 

And then...we have the Senate vote on the Ryan plan to kill Medicare, and not one--not even Ben "I'm the most fucking worthless Dem in D.C." Nelson--votes for it.  Go figure.

Look up bi-polar in the encyclopedia and I'm sure there'll be a picture of a Liberal Democrat somewhere in the piece.

Peace,
