She's not wrong. Losing is more important to the Democrats and in that sense Zohran is already off to a poor start.
He's really bad at doing Master Wimp Lo's "My Nuts To Your Fist" style, which is an old Democrat standard
Ugh, again with the squeaky shoes.
I'M BLEEDING, MAKING ME THE VICTOR!
trained him wrong, as a joke
The Dem establishment and their supernatural ability to back a losing horse should be studied.
Asking dem politicians for their betting positions so that I can invert them
They do great on the stock market weirdly enough. Must be using up all their luck there
:thonk:
Can't be unlucky if you rig the game.
The only time libs win is when they rig the game. That's the only explanation for why there are any Democrats at all.
It's not that mysterious, Dem establishment does just fine in primary races, your know, when their own power and financial worth is on the line. They don't want to win against Republicans, because they are better off under Republicans, but not on the hook for all the terrible things that Republicans do.
No, surely, Mobile fucking Alabama is the face of America
Mobile isn't even the face of Alabama, its atleast under Huntsville, Birmingham, and Montgomery
Well, it's literally under them, yes, but also figuratively and politically and economically
How dare you forget the cultural capital of Alabama, glorious Talladega and its mecca, CMP Talladega Marksmanship Park
I am so glad for this site and people tracking this stuff, because the media refuses to look critically at anything the Democrats say
I am so glad for this site and people tracking this stuff, because bourgeois media refuses to look critically at anything
So true
I guess it's just a very Greek name but Spiro Cheriogotis sounds like one of the conditions you get after eating bear meat from RFK Jr.
i can't believe there's another guy named Spiro in american politics after the disgraced Nixon VP.
There isn't. They took his disembodied head, put it on a new body, and gave him a new last name. That's why he's only referred to as "Agnew" in the hit docuseries Futurama.
She's been really deep throating her own foot lately hasn't she.
"I'm not self-owned, I'm not self-owned!" I shout through a mouthful of calf as I slowly turn into a shitty orobouros
Years of this.
[laughs Greekly] couldn't compete with her opponent's powerful haunches
Spiro Cheriogotis
This isn’t real life anymore. I’m going to go find a hole for me and climb in it.
Biblically accurate politician name
be not afraid for I am the Archangel SpirocheriogotisYeah, the real pulse of American politics is a small city in the south that counted 50k votes towards its mayoral election. New York City ain't shit.
Mobile has a population just under 200k. Democrats manage to only get 23k votes, you know, just above TEN PERCENT of the total population of the area, lose, and then brag about how well they did
Cheriogotis got 24,005 votes -or 50.8% - to Drummond’s 23,285, or 49.2 percent, according to unofficial results
...
The campaign between Drummond and Cheriogotis became a battle of endorsements. Drummond touted her support from high-profile Democratic figures like former U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, former U.S. Senator Doug Jones of Alabama, New Jersey U.S. Senator Cory Booker, Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin and Georgia U.S. Rep. Sanford Bishop.
...
Cheriogotis countered with local endorsements from [outgoing mayor Sandy] Stimpson, which he received in May, and former Mayor Mike Dow. He was also endorsed by the local law enforcement unions and the city’s Realtors, both strong local support networks.
...
Drummond leaned heavily on her long tenure in public service and her deep ties to Mobile city government. Cheriogotis countered that he brings real-world experience that included a background as a business owner.
I like schadenfreude as much as the next guy but I'm not really seeing a major takeaway here. Prosecutor with ties to local pols and the money narrowly edges out city civil servant with national endorsements.
Cheriogotis countered that he brings real-world experience that included a background as a business owner.
lol
In local elections, I automatically don't vote for "small business owners." They're the fucking worst in local politics, alongside real estate ghouls and law enforcement.
a tulpa formed from paranoid concerns over property values
seems to me nobody gives a shit who national democrats endorse unless it's to vote against them
All politics is local, but local politics is especially local.
oh, they made a little stacy abrams for mobile? as a treat!
Nobody cares about Barbara Drummond and that's kinda the takeaway. Harris was asked about a charismatic progressive that embodies everything people want from Democrats. Harris deflected and the best deflection she could muster was a 69 year old a week away from losing her race.
i can't watch the video with sound right now, but i am dying to know how she pronounced it.
- mo-BEEL
- mo-BILE
- mo-BULL
ive never heard someone use the last one, but her history with xanax and self-assured ignorance makes me think anything is possible.
EDIT: she says Mo-beel. damn, i was hoping for her bullshit attempt to seem plugged into regional, low stakes political machines to shit its pants at church.
She said mo-beel. Maddow also called her a talent spotter for the party 
It takes a loser to spot a loser
Now that’s talent!
no shit. that was the first thing i was wondering too

nobody gives a fuckin shit about Mobile Alabama.
I can't believe they made spironolactone into a guy
Perhaps there's a point at which we need everyone to ask WHY he's so popular.. It seems a firm NO for the following questions: Evil? Out for his own financial gain? Wants to destroy NY/ America? Wants to start a war with any other nation? Wants to militarize cities? Wants to fly legit populatis overseas to prisons of unknown standards? Wants to disempower women/ LGBTQ+? Wants to be King forever? Paedophile /rapist/ sex offender?
i live in alabama and this is the stupidest shit i’ve ever heard
