Sometimes publications change the hed on internet articles post publication. I suspect that’s what happened here.
Titles of articles are not written by the article writer, for some reason. They often change.
a/b testing
That feels gross.
Welcome to the internet! Have a look around…
Hm… it’s almost like if you want change, you need to vote. Sitting out or spoiling your vote doesn’t do much more than literally nothing.
Who knew? Apparently all it needed was a little pain and chaos, the loss of healthcare, snap, LGBT rights, a felon in the Whitehouse ignoring congress and the judiciary, a stacked supreme court, a govt shutdown, unemployment. Inflation, high grocery prices, extrajudiciary assassinations of foreign nationals, coercion of foreign policy, open interference in another countrys elections, censorship of the media, restarting of nuclear tests, literal demolition of parts of the office of the executive branch, …
But I’m sure all of that was only a distraction from what was really happening.
Now, where are those Epstein files?
One candidate is clearly corrupt, serving only the oligarchs and foreign genocidal nations. People stay home.
One candidate clearly shows he is listening and cares about his voters. People show up to vote.
Yeah it’s amazing that people go out and vote when, you know, there are actually primaries and the Democratic Party runs candidate that the constituencies actually want. Who could have known?

I’ll never get over these type of comments in political communities…
It’s like going to a baseball game in person and complaining that broadcast viewership numbers are down…
We’re not the “casual market” absolutely no one who needs to be told that is here or will ever see those comments.
But we’re the ones voting in primaries, we’re supposed to be picking the candidate most likely to represent the will of the Dem voter base… We’re more GMs than hardcore fans.
As a whole, the politically active members of the Dem party who vote in primaries have not been making good enough selections to convince the “casuals” to vote in the general.
Shitting on absentee people who can’t defend themselves may feel good, but why wouldn’t we use these spaces to talk about what works?
Which in this case is increasing Dem primary turnout as much as possible to ensure candidates like Mamdani keep making it to the general…
You’re wrong. If that was the case, the other areas would show similar levels of apathy as 2024. Hate to break it to you, but run of the mill Dem candidates won in most of the other elections this time. IMO, it’s more likely that the pain is starting to compel the voters to the polls. All I have to say is finally. Just don’t drop the ball again.
Don’t forget Dick Cheney fucking off for good, I count that as win too
This has truly been a positive day for the world
This all happened in 24-hours. Nature is healing.
Things have been looking up since sept 10th imo
It was a real Turning Point for the USA
Prop LL and MM both
passingPASSED in Colorado!The two ballot measures would fund free meals for all public school students, give raises or stipends to cafeteria workers and provide grants to schools to purchase fresh ingredients from local farmers.
If there’s money left over from the taxes the two measures bring in, the funding could help shore up the SNAP program, also known as food stamps, for low-income families in the face of federal cuts.

We passed lunches for everyone in Minnesota a few years ago and even though our family has been fortunate enough to be able to afford lunches for our kids before, it is wonderful to know that every kid is provided breakfast and lunch now for free. Done. No more of that “not enough money in your account, guess you get a bologna sandwich, not the meal everyone else gets” bullshit.
Lunches have been free the last few years, from combo of federal and state budget reshuffling. This makes it permanent.
That’s wonderful!
The more we support our youth and remove barriers to foster their education, the better off we’ll all be. Happy for the kids of Colorado!
