@cdarwin@c.imIn the last 35 years, Democrats have won the presidency five times to the Republicans’ four,
a number that includes the two times (George W. Bush in 2000 and Donald Trump in 2016) the party lost the popular vote but won the anachronistic Electoral College.
Coupled with the fact that control of Congress has been evenly split,
it’s not as though the GOP has had their fingers on the American pulse this whole time.
Instead, they have built a massive partisan media infras…

@cdarwin@c.imThe feeling of unity soon gave way to anger and division,
in large part due to the Iraq and Afghanistan wars,
begun by the George W Bush administration
and framed as necessary conflicts to help the US win the "war on terror".

Donald Trump said Wednesday that the Pentagon’s top general was at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas,
but a Pentagon spokesman said Thursday that is not true.
Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, instead spoke a few miles away at a 9/11 anniversary event at the George W. Bush Presidential Center, according to video and his spokesman, Joe Holstead.

@cdarwin@c.imMichigan is not the only state with primaries on Tuesday.
In Missouri, voters will weigh whether to nominate former US representative Cori Bush, who is running to return to the chamber against Wesley Bell in a race punctuated by the war in Gaza and outside spending by pro-Israel groups.
And in Washington state, voters will decide which two candidates to elevate in the third congressional district, where blue-dog Democratic representative Marie Gluesenkamp Perez is seeking re-elec…
@bencurthoys@mastodon.socialMajorities of Bush supporters incorrectly assumed that Bush favors including labor and environmental standards in trade agreements (84%), and the US being part of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (69%), the International Criminal Court (66%), the treaty banning land mines (72%), and the Kyoto Treaty on global warming (51%).

@bencurthoys@mastodon.socialBush Supporters Misread Many of His Foreign Policy Positions
As the nation prepares to watch the presidential candidates debate foreign policy issues, a new PIPA-Knowledge Networks poll finds that Americans who plan to vote for President Bush have many incorrect assumptions about his foreign policy positions. Kerry supporters, on the other hand, are largely accurate in their assessments.
@cdarwin@c.imEight years ago, during a campaign for Texas attorney general, Justin Nelson ran television advertisements with security camera footage of Ken Paxton pocketing an expensive pen that didn't belong to him.
Four years ago, George P. Bush went after Paxton by putting up billboards that said "he's a crook" next to his mugshot from when he was charged with securities fraud.
And earlier this year, U.S. Sen John Cornyn said "judgment day is coming" as he tried…

@losttourist@social.chatty.monster@… Hello Mr #ThePlaylist. First thank you for Monday's episode which was perfectly timed: the last echoes of God Only Knows fading out as I parked the car at work this morning.
Secondly, I have a couple of theme ideas that popped into my head. Sorry if they've been done before.
1: "Plants / Horticulture". This would allow songs from the lovely Kate Bush and (equally lovely I'm sure) Hothouse Flowers, as well as e.g. Hong Kong Garden by Siouxsie.
2: "Thespians". There is Michael Caine by Madness, and Barbra Streisand by Duck Sauce. And I'm sure other suitable songs that my little brain can't come up with right now.

@bencurthoys@mastodon.socialThe uncommitted also tend to misperceive Bush’s positions, though to a smaller extent than Bush supporters, and to perceive Kerry’s positions correctly.
Steven Kull, director of PIPA, comments: “What is striking is that even after nearly four years President Bush’s foreign policy positions are so widely misread, while Senator Kerry, who is relatively new to the public and reputed to be unclear about his positions, is read correctly.”
