How you respond to the Nazi tattoo candidate is how you would have responded to "grab them by the pussy" if you were a Republican.
Democrats have spent the last ten+ years bemoaning the evilness of Republicans who acknowledge Trump's flaws, but support him anyway because "the alternative [ie, the other side being in power] is worse."
Then along comes misogynistic racist Nazi tattoo guy, and every single Democratic politician is obligated by the base to support him because... drumroll.... "the alternative [ie, the other side being in power] is worse."

Y’all don’t get to be mad at her, she very clearly states she’s fully supportive of the Dem ticket, which is far more than the petulant stunt you morons pulled in 2024 or what Bernie has been doing for a decade.Go earn the votes
BASH: “You're still fully behind Abdul El-Sayed?”
STEVENS: “Look, I'm on the Democratic ticket. I can't say that I agree with everything that's gone on… I'm looking to be on the team to support my next governor Jocelyn Benson, and frankly these great Democrats who are working their tails off, who are going to make Hakeem Jeffries the first black Speaker of the House.”
BASH: “You didn't mention Abdul El-Sayed in that last answer.”
STEVENS: “Well, look, I would just say, you had asked me if I'm still on the team, I'm on the team.”
Is this your first day paying attention to politics or something?

I think what’s interesting is that last night I saw more commentary about Obama saying the WH renovations were tacky than Trump admitting he doesn’t care about Americans struggling to pay for gas.

Terrific comedian wholly out of his depth. I remember when he took on charter schools and was spectacularly wrong and ill-informed. When someone screws up a topic you know well, you assume--or should--that they're equally wrong about subjects you don't know.
HBO's @LastWeekTonight has a long track record of citing social science findings without the appropriate context, massaging them to support whatever point @iamjohnoliver is trying to make.
He's like 2 steps away from actually understanding the joke, which is actually a bit impressive for a conservative

Abdul El-Sayed did not make the new ad people are appalled by. It's pushed by Cenk Uygur, repurposed from his 2024 flop of a presidential campaign. And Cenk is a ratfucker. He did this the day after the rally with Obama. You should assume he's trying to tank El-Sayed's race. 1/
New low for normalized Jew-hate in the American Democratic Party. Very sad:
Painting your political opponents as puppets of Jews, as this El-Sayed ad does, and as crazed baby-killers and money-grubbing villains who are the root cause of every bad thing not just in the world, but in your life—from wars to the price of eggs to the reason you can’t have free healthcare—is not just low-grade Jew-hate. It’s pure Third Reich stuff, translated directly from the original German.
Do you remember when Jewish Democrats in Michigan explained that they would vote for El-Sayed despite his open disdain for Jews, since there are many other important issues they need him to fight for? That anything was worth it to “defeat MAGA”?
Well, here’s El-Sayed’s answer to them: Don’t worry, all those issues we agree on, like healthcare, inflation, and climate change, I’m going to make them about Jews too! I will tell the public that the Jews are the reason they can’t have those things.
One more on a serious note: It's fun and all to clown over Platner but fuck Tommy, fuck the Pod Bros, and fuck everyone who continued pushing Herr Oystergrupenfuhrer after the tattoo story. That no one has faced any consequences for it should tell you how unserious prog media is

They lack the humility to understand that a never Trump Republican understanding the stakes throughout the Trump era better than they have should be embarrassing.
Tim Miller of The Bulwark gets pressed by Krystal and Kyle on his previous Iraq war position:
Krystal: "Not to rub your nose in it..."
Tim: "Rub my nose in it, thats fine. You've never changed your views on anything?"
Krystal: "I mean, some of us were right about Iraq."
Tim. "Kyle was for Jill Stein!"

Mehdi and Co will drag you for a foreign policy take you had 25+ years ago but call you a Islamophobic republican shill if you try to ask them about something they said 6 months ago.
You don’t hate these people enough.

To belabor the obvious Obama's joke lands best if you know what a Cheesecake Factory looks like! It's not a swipe at people who enjoy eating there. I enjoy visiting Vegas, it doesn't mean I think it would be good if the White House looked like the floor of the Cosmopolitan

I was told that he was the only candidate that could win and furthermore that his positions were so incredibly popular that he could win anywhere.

I'm confused. I thought your thesis on Democratic candidates is that the longstanding establishment moderates like Cooper are a liability for the party. Now they have an advantage that we need to adjust for?
If you need me to Google for you the definition of "incumbency" and then explain to you how incumbency works in elections, if you need for me to explain to you how negative ads and record spending work in elections, then yeah you're as dumb as you look.
Goodbye.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Neither Peltola nor Cooper is an incumbent senator. Peltola is a former House member challenging incumbent GOP Sen. Dan Sullivan, and Cooper, a former governor, is running for the open seat Thom Tillis is vacating. Incumbency doesn't describe either one.

Truly an almost perfect DC person. A low level operative who pretends to be way more in the know than she actually is.
She was a fundraising consultant in a firm that was hired by a candidate who got 13% in the primary. I mean come on.
I’m more qualified than 99% of “journalists” and pundits to make predictions about Texas politics. I’ve worked on a winning US House race in Texas (Jasmine Crockett) and was head of fundraising on a US Senate race there as well. @cd_hooks needs to issue a correction
