what is this even in reference to? what is our "liberal Democrat friend" also livid about?
Oh, the mayoral election in LA. The republicans nominee came in third and won’t be moving on. It will be two democrats battling it out.
Outrageous! As a liberal from LA who is also the leader of antifa and worked under Bernie and AOC i am sickened. I don't see why it would matter. Unless the Gop is running a progressive, and even then it would be iffy, I don't think they'd win in LA anyway.
As if it would be any sort of contest to have a Dem vs GOP race in LA. This way the general election might not be a foregone conclusion.
Is Madison Wisconsin supposed to represent some liberal bastion of wokeness? Wisconsin??
Relative to the surrounding area, and possibly a lot of the Midwest, yes. I lived near there for a little bit, fun town.
Wisconsin is historically left-leaning. The Republican party was founded here by abolitionists in response to the expansion of slavery. Milwaukee had a few Socialist mayors before the Cold War.
It's a purple state now, but that's only because we're gerrymandered to hell. Most cities tend liberal, but Madison is on another level.
Yeah, it’s very blue and has high voter turnout, the whole of Dane county even
Overall Wisconsin is a pretty purple state
Edit: the state was also horribly gerrymandered after the 2010 midterms until recently. It has been turned around due to wins in the Supreme Court. Currently it is 4-3 left vs right leaning justices, but on August 1 Chris Taylor will replace Rebecca Bradley making it 5-2. Ziegler is next in 2027 meaning it could be 6-1
I don't get it
The context being they’re friends, it’s very abnormal to string that many points of self description in a niche context if someone’s your friend they know these things
Also using "liberal" as a noun is a bit pejorative. Most people would say "I'm liberal", not "I'm a liberal".
So nobody wants to talk about how the screenshot indicates it is a text message that was outbound, not received?
Literally every single text app I've used the past 20 years has had the incoming message on the left of the screen...
Maybe Lisa has her app set to Arabic. 🤷♂️
Wow, guess we use different apps. Ok My incoming SMS are always colored, and my outgoing are always in grey. To me the screenshot looks staged/outgoing.
It's the opposite for mine.
