that is .. quite a headline. impressive.
Holy crap, it's real. Link. I thought this must be satire.
Her argument is that more people will move to red states as a result. I hate to break it to her, but increased population density is almost guaranteed to make states turn blue.
So by winning, Democrats are actually losing, making red states turn blue, so Democrats are winning. Suck it, commies!
Moving from blue to red again was a shock, I sure miss the quality of public services. This place is falling apart unless you live in the richest suburbs.
Moving from red to blue was a shock. Did you know blue states will actually attempt to improve citizens lives?
I live in Bumfuck, WV. Quite possibly the stupidest state in the Union. Our elected representation perfectly encapsulates the constituents of the state. Moronic, incompetent, and completely unwilling to incite change for a more prosperous future.
I fucking hate it here. I can't wait to be able to move.
Once upon a time West Virginia was Woke Virginia
I moved from blue to purple, then red, then redder. It's been an adventure.
By winning they make MAGA folks go away? Sounds like double winning to me...
Isn’t it conservatives that are leaving blue states? I know urban centers tend to be more left leaning but I don’t think those people will quickly change their views just from moving. Maybe their kids?
Independent of left and right, a higher population density naturally results in increased support for public services, which the right has decided to firmly establish themselves as being against.
Plus there's the added benefit of prejudice and racism decreasing in a more diverse community. (at least on a personal level)
I think she's totally right republicans, move to Alabama and Florida. You'll be safe there.
Have socialist policies lifted people out of poverty in Venezuela?
Perhaps if the US lifted its sanctions on Venezuela, maybe they'd find out.
Kind of the constant history of socialism. It's almost the same as the arguement against being LGBT.
See being LGBT is bad, I can prove it, look at the suicide rates of LGBT people?
Isn't that because you are bullying them?
Yeah, but I wouldn't bully them if they were straight, so that proves being LGBT is bad for your health!
She's full of crap with her argument about people leaving blue states, but I do have a lingering fear people will burn out before 2026 when it matters a little more. Wins better give us momentum and not complacency.
Experience does not fill me with hope
I still can't believe people lived through the first Trump presidency and decided they wanted another.
If you live in America, you know that guy who says shit like, "I'm not racist, but...", then the guy who thinks women are inferior, then the guy who is all out racist, then the Christian guy who's told America's Religion is at stake, then the guy who owns stocks and sees Republicans as his route to eternal wealth, and then ratio that into each American's collective of acquaintances. Then of all the other people left, only 40% of them bother to vote. Harris could have won probably if more registered Dems bothered to vote. But we all look at the bigots and groupthink takes over, as no way those assholes could win anything.
People are very stupid like that. There's almost always a midterms pendulum swing in the opposite direction of the ruling party in this country. It's damn near impossible for people's opinions to more permanently shift on political parties. I think the last time this happened was with the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. That pretty much cemented racist's support for the Republican party in this country ever since.
The most watched "news" station in the US is Fox News. And the other stations aren't much better. The population is no longer really informed.
War is peace
Freedom is slavery
Ignorance is strength
We have always been at war with Eastasia
*Eurasia.
Leftists and liberals: looks at world - this needs to be better, let's improve it.
Right and conservatives: looks at leftists and liberals - I don't care how or why, but we need to make everybody suffer.
Don't believe your eyes, don't listen to your ears, believe the party above all else
All hail the Cheeto! All hail the Cheeto! All hail the Cheeto!
someone get the narcan, they're overdosing on copium over here!
They're losing because they're going to get tired of all the winning. Which is why the Republicans losing is actually winning. They're no longer tired of winning. So they can win again.
I mean, they're only winning in shitholes like New York City and the state of Virginia.
Yes yes, by sweeping elections across the country, you've fallen right into my trap...
Pay no attention to Laura Ingram, we purposely trained her wrong... as a joke
By losing republicans are actually losing.
I encourage the republican party to continue with this attitude and lose to "win" in fact play to lose it all.
More losing, please!
He’s saying “good, let them enact their terrible policies and then everyone will see how bad they are, dooming them forever.”
This is a ballsy thing to say while Trump’s policies are currently lighting our future on fire, and when the Democratic platform consistently has more popular policies in it.
If there is any loss, it'll be like one poster said about the Dems failing to follow the Overton window left, but I think there's another possible negative; the pendulum swing.
Without Obama, there'd be no trump1. Without Biden/Harris, there'd be no trump2. If we shift far enough left, I'm concerned how far the pendulum will swing right afterwards.
This is not to say Zohran Mamdani's win wasn't wonderful and probably the best thing to happen to this country in... probably decades. I'm just acutely aware that this country is probably going to continue to be divided and will keep doing its craziness.
This is why Dems need to be the party of loud economic reform and quiet social advancement. We gotta stop ping-ponging, build a big tent for a new era. That means people staying on messaging and not attacking each other for differences of opinion. As long as we hold one progressive tenant, we're Dems. It's the words "we're dems" that matter.
FYI, I think you mean tenet.
I hope you libs are ready to get OWNED when we shine a spotlight on this young, energetic, ridiculously charismatic mayor proposing new solutions to the problems a big majority of americans are facing!
Fuck it I can take the L 🤷🏻♂️
