I can talk more about this if I do an in depth breakdown for sure, but in short it’s been something we’ve been aware of and planned for

Get ready, because if Zohran wins tomorrow’s election you haven’t even heard the start of it. The Israel lobby is going to dial election news saturation up to 11

Philippines are not going anywhere. It is a sad state of affairs, but even the famously yoked to the U.S. Japan & South Korea are far less yoked to the U.S. than the Philippines in both foreign policy, politics, and economics.

The campaign is going pretty much how it was drawn up from the beginning when Zohran was polling at 1%. Aside from a few minor tweaks given changing conditions/current events, we knew what we challenges we had to overcome to get here and honestly wouldn’t have been able to do it without materialist analysis.

If enough people are interested I could get into some details here some time later this week. Today and tomorrow I’m still busy running some canvassing stuff in this crazy hot weather. Heat index is 107°F today (42°C) and 105° tomorrow (41°C).

Here’s me desperately begging people to help with the campaign by phone banking. You don’t have to live in NYC or give any personally identifying information to sign up (Just make stuff up. You can still sign up without confirming any identity). It’s also kind of fun. You’re mostly going to talk to people who hate Cuomo. Please ignore if you aren’t interested lol ⬇️Also please please please, if you are reading this, we are still looking for people to work the phones for Zohran today and tomorrow! No requirement to live in NYC, just to have a US phone number. We have 9 different phonebanking times today and offer 27 second language options! We need all of the help we can get to win this and every little bit helps. Please consider signing up for a shift here even if you can only make a few calls.

I’m not supposed to say this, but if you don’t feel comfortable using personally identifiable information, you can use a fake name, burner email, and Google voice number. I don’t really care. We need people working the phones. Zohran is not even above 90% name recognition yet among potential voters, and 4% of voters are still undecided. If even one of you signs up, please let me know so I can recognize you for your efforts to the community here.

I have been so active working for this campaign that I can’t wait to stop hearing about it for a bit, but we will definitely be hearing more. There’s going to be a 4-5 way competition in the general election smoking-fish

Polling ahead ≠ counted votes.

In early voting it is estimate Zohran has an almost 10% lead with nearly 400000 votes already cast. Also this election is going to be on a day with nearly record heat in NYC. The temperature is going to be >100°F (38°C) in most of the city, which is going to depress turnout of Cuomo’s base, who are typically old and live farther from their polling places

Democratic Socialist candidate for mayor of NYC, Zohran Mamdani, has officially taken his first lead in an independently conducted poll, pulling ahead of Cuomo in round 8 of ranked choice voting 52%-48%

With only a 3% MOE and 4% undecided voters left, who have been falling heavily towards Zohran as this race unfolds, I am cautiously optimistic. The Zohran campaign’s voter outreach has been unreal, and seems to be fairly easily overcoming being outspent $10-$1 by the Cuomo campaign.

Last night Israeli media was reporting it as destroyed btw. Here come the walk backs.

They are incredibly heavy and made with incredibly expensive. Also bombing nuclear sites was at least kinda a taboo question at the time, so these were probably not designed with destroying Iranian nuclear facilities under an entire mountain in mind.

If you live near or around sea level, especially in the Tampa Bay area, you can not survive the forecasted storm surge by accident. This is not a joke. I know you may have lived in Florida your whole life and been through dozens of hurricanes, but it only takes one you aren’t prepared for. As a result of having narrowly avoided multiple severe hurricane impacts over the past 100 years, the Tampa Bay area has been built up with little consideration for the fact that it eventually would be hit. The only regional trauma center is at sea level and on an island.

Do not play with your life.

Also do not accidentally dox yourself on this post

I think that China could do absolutely untold damage to the American psyche and illusion of invulnerability if it simply instantly obliterated these clowns on Taiwan from hundreds of kilometers away with a cloud of drones dense enough to block out the sun. America treats the navy seals like they are all Master Chief, when in reality they are just guys who can carry a log and swim for a long time or some shit. Maybe that matters when you’re like… raiding a compound of a guy who has been on the run for decades while he’s asleep with Neon Genesis Evangelion playing on the TV, but genuinely what are these guys going to do to actually fight back against China? China will never even let them see a single PLA soldier lmao.
