@scolom.bsky.social

I’m grateful to President @barackobama.bsky.social for his support. I hear it in every county I visit: costs keep going up, families are worried about their healthcare and their hospitals, and folks feel like Washington stopped listening a long time ago. We're going to change that on November 3rd.

My take here is that he is effective because he had a nonpolitician background where his job was to distill complex and intangible problems so average person could digest them. He effectively talks like a documentary narrator, not a politician/dr/lawyer/whatever other path normally leads to congress

Bill McKibben@billmckibben.bsky.social

Figuring out why Ossoff is so effective is an interesting task. I think he's mastering a kind of stern dignity that is uniquely compelling in contrast to the clownish cruelty of the other side. I think the other person who's kind of hit on the same thing is AOC, though in a different register

It is going to break my heart when she does not win.

Lefties in Seattle have gone to bat for him since he lost the D4 race but I never saw what people see in him. I went to multiple events during his city council race and found him to b mean spirited and petty. Wasn’t surprised when he lost then and am not surprised he lost now.

Just hope he has the sense to let someone else run against Rivera in 27.

She is also not my first pick, but I agree with this sentiment. I think there is a prevailing attitude on here that she won’t be a problem but in my view the nomination is hers to lose in ‘28.

The Stranger has been captured by the democratic party establishment, so to know who to vote for we have to… *checks notes* listen to the democratic party???

Marc Auerbach@pugetopia.bsky.social

***SEATTLE*** The Stranger has been purchased by an establishment Democrat. Its endorsements no longer reflect a hopeful, progressive vision. Consider alternatives like The Urbanist, The Working Families Party, the Seattle Transit Riders Union, & your local Democratic Party organization.

5 July

To be clear, I think the fact that Seattle races are determined by the endorsements of two news papers is bad, but the splintering of the left lane by discrediting the Stranger will probably be worse for the left in the long run. We saw this in a way in the D5 race in 2023.

My answer to this is that because, until fairly recently, we had a fairly shared information environment. Now we all have our own curated feeds that feed us information that may reinforce our own narratives. “Vibes” imo is just shorthand for the algorithm.

Why did the vibes suddenly turn bad in 2021, and not 2017, 2009, 1979? Why did “vibes” not seem to even matter in economic sentiment until 2021? There’s no indication prior to recent years that this was even a factor. And then suddenly it was!
