GOOD.
they should be afraid of more than just losing their jobs.
I really hope Democrats are smart enough not to count their chickens before they hatch. Everyone remembers going to bed on election night ~~2020~~ 2016 expecting to wake up to news that the U.S. would soon have its first female president, right?
The DNC has been draining the "victory fund" that was stolen from the state parties and were a year deep into the largest reinvesture from DNC to state parties everywhere...
That and going back to "fight everywhere" is why we keep flipping special elections.
You don't need to hope, it's already happening.
If you're hoping billionaire owned mainstream media decides to tell you about it tho, you'll be waiting a long time. They're not happy about it, and they're doing a pretty good job of keeping the masses ignorant, there's no reason they'd change course
Let's add to that giving people someone to vote for.
DNC strategy had been to run dogshit candidates because "hey who are you else are you going to vote for?"
The candidates that are winning now are further left and not water carriers. The base finally gets the problem it created by listening to blue maga/ ABWD as long as they did.
You can't change change an electorate, at least not in the course of one election cycle. You want to change an electorate? Start speaking the truth and keep giving the same speech as nauseum just like uncle Bernie did. But in the course of a single election, run candidate that meet the electorate where they are at.
I love Bernie, but he was boring as shit and clearly didn't win. Repeating things is fine to an extent, but you need more than three sentences.
You know that Bernie lost the primary because the DNC cheated for Hilary, right?
Yes those documents were leaked by Russians. But they still existed. (Mostly, at least.)
The entire primary set up also is pretty biased. We don’t know how Bernie would have done outside a couple states because most states never got a primary vote.
Further, Hilary was soft amid the same people that were passionate for Bernie.
He might’ve been “boring” but he actually had a chance at winning and the DNC decided to fuck that up.
You mean 2016. It’s been 10 long years of this shit. I don’t have any cortisol left
Oh. Jesus. Yeah, you're right. -.-
I was working night shift during the elections. Watching it all unfold produced a lot of feelings.
In 2020, there were two white men running.
You mean not voting, right? Thats how the sitouts gave us trump.
I find it interesting that you assume they would not have voted for Trump.
Vote Republican if you want your representative to shrug their shoulders and say "ask Daddy Trump" when you need anything.
Well I mean, the GOP in congress is not really doing their jobs, right?
No surprises they are getting voted out. That's how it's supposed to work. All their eggs are in an unpopular basket and they, the elected representatives of millions, are choosing not to go with what their constituents actually want.
They don't actually represent their constituents though. They represent the people who fund the party.
It wont fucking matter if the sitout voter base doesnt get off their stupid collective virtue signalling ass and do something this time.
Johnson is hoping Trump and Elon can steal the next election the way they stole 2024.

Honestly, hard to say. The numbers should be overwhelming, but they are far more entrenched now.
Gathered this week at a Trump-owned resort in Doral, Florida
You have to respect the dedication to the grift.
I hope the Dems are preparing for the inevitable massive coup attempt Trump is going to pull with this coming election.
Every single dirty trick from siezing ballots to dumping mail-in votes to sending ICE to arrest Dem voters.
Yeah this will be the most corrupt election we see until 2028.
I wonder how effective it could be to infiltrate those organizations that scrutinized votes the last election - yeah, they were pro Trump, but I also think they had a lot of people who were genuinely worried about cheating
One thing is for sure: if they "win" it stinks to high heaven.
I hope the succeed in one thing LOSING and for a LONG TIME. the american people are DONE with this crazy crap.
Why is Congress full of do nothing wimps? They defer everything to the President. Even democrats who are supposed to fucking oppose him.
There's still time for them to, you know, actually do their jobs.
Impeach, prosecute, and imprison Trump and his cronies, pass a universal healthcare bill, end this stupid war, and about 50 other things, and they might even earn my vote in the midterms.
I was gonna say, this is how they win. They already own all the media. They could do this and then create the story they want people to believe out of it. CNN, FOX, WaPo, and the new Daily Show without Jon Stewart will blast their new message.
Doesn’t matter how evil you are, if you can be competent, all any one will say for a while is, “at least he’s not Trump”.
They fail the competency-caveat, though.
Pretty sure Trump thinks they're going to retain the majority, one way or another.
Once again, this feels a lot similar to the runup to the 2024 election. Dozens of articles all saying "Republicans are nervous! Democrats are practically guaranteed victory! Lots of people are saying this!" Right before getting utterly defeated.
Do not rely on hopium, treat this election like an uphill battle because it absolutely fucking is.
They are going to fuck with the elections. Hard. Dems don't need to pull off a victory, they need to pull off a victory so overwhelming that they win even with Republican hands on the scale. That's IF we even get an election in the first place.
And for those of you saying if they cancel the elections we'll riot, well... gestures back to the countless lines in the sand stretching off into the distance
Consequences happen. Learn.
The only way republicans keep the majority is if there some sort of terrorist attack and the dipshit in chief declares martial law and cancels midterms…. Hmm.
They are
Nothing will change unless we elect law and order leftists to replace these fascists.
Regular Democrats are either MAGA Lite or "It's time to come together wet blankets"
