They have no path to win midterms, and they will run first. Funny thing is that they literally have nowhere to run. 🤣
The republicans have a clear path to win, the election is a toss up between the two parties at this point.
If the Democrats just assume public anger will mean they are going to win the midterm then they’re doomed. Despite everything Republican support is holding in the polls. Things are so polarised that Republican voters will seemingly accept anything of their party rather than accept a Democrat.
1/3 support dems, 1/3 support republicans. The key is the 1/3 of voters who are not engaged in politics or hate both parties. The only way the dems can win the midterms is getting off their arses and speaking to those voters. But rightly, those voters are fed up with the shit fest that is US politics.
The midterms are going to be down to the wire, and sadly I wouldn’t be surprised if the republicans win.
The dems have to engage the left they have completely alienated. The people on the edge of their overton window that think the dems are a complete and total failure and also invoke Godwins law every time a GOP policy is duscussed. Instead the dems think the people they need to seek are the centerists… And well… Look what that got them last time.
I have zero faith in the American public to do the right thing. We can blame Trump and the leaders all we want but I don’t know a single person who voted for Trump 2.0 and regrets it even though I live in an 80+% Trump district that is getting completely fucked by tariffs. As a country we are just too fucking stupid to get out of this shit.
Anti-democracy bots are already hard at work all over the internet, doing the usual “there is no difference between the parties and only stupid people engage in democracy” spiel.
I’m sorry, but Doomerism has to die.
The only call-to-action I get from this kind of comment inspires is “give up & go home evryone; your fate is to suffer”
My intention with my own comment is to ask people to please keep the defeatist comments to yourself.
If you aren’t saying anything informative or supportive in Public discourse, what are you actually putting into the Public’s mind?I was hopefully until the DNC decided to run Janet Mills against Susan Collins. They gave her early support and the people of Maine no other option. IMHO the democrats are throwing the election early, so not sure what’s going on in your contested district, but I’d be big money on Susan Collins win here.
There’s a primary going on with multiple candidates and she’s currently losing in polling.
You probably need to spend sometime out the. Ubble you’re living in. Most other places are fighting back.
By doing what?
And that’s why they rigged the elections, so Democrats can’t win.
I’m pretty doubtful, a month or two ago there was a poll saying faith in the DNC was at an all time low. People aren’t just going to wake up en mass because things are bad: this whole admin is just a replay of 2016-2020 but with a little extra shark jumping, and they STILL reelected Trump’s ass and put GOP in a 53 senate majority.
Then, even if a blue wave sweeps the midterms? So what? Only 20 GOP senators are up for reelection, the DNC have 45 and 2 Independents, they can’t remove trump without replacing every single GOP an that is beyond improbable.
We only need to control house or senate to start reining him in hard. By 2028 the economy will be in ruins and he will be ineligible to run no matter what he says or more likely dead due to his own health problems.
There is every reason to believe we can take house senate and presidency in 2028.
Remember even in his first term the GOP lost the midterms.
His first term was bad, but not nearly as bad. We didn’t have military occupation of our own cities. We didn’t have masked men abducting people off the streets into unmarked vans. We didn’t have a trade war with practically every other country. We didn’t have massive inflation after a prior year of massive inflation. We didn’t have suspension of food security. We didn’t have farmers being undermined by all this while a huge bailout is done to a foreign country. We weren’t mobilizing our military for an apparent invasion.
So the Democrats might have a chance. Removal from office may not be on the table, but at least some check on executive power might be exercised. We may be stuck with a PJ2025 executive branch for at least the next couple of years after that, but at least maybe there can be some mitigation. It’s at least worth a try.
Depressingly I wouldn’t characterize the last decade of elections as being as much a Republican or Democratic loss as much as pretty much every single election being a loss for whomever the perceived incumbent of the time.
Notably, what you have said is the democrats are so bad that it literally takes a 100% undeniable fascist takeover to let the neoliberals rule. We gotta tear it down, man. Holy fuck. Where’s option 3? Did McCarthy truly kill it?
I’m in Maine and the democrats picked the worst challenger they could find to upset Susan Collins. Once again they have failed to cultivate a decent group of candidates to win over an important senate seat. They’re going to throw in someone loyal to the party that they can control, and it will cost them an election.
Interpol is going to nab them. They have no where to run. No one is their friend.
Argentina… Like the Nazis of old
Lime the Nazis
Given your username I’m not sure if this is a typo or not
Oh that was all natural
This might explain all the money spent there. They want to secure a spot in case their plans go awry.
Hitler actually did the same thing. Benz had extensive business there. His ministry of business had lots of supply chains rooted there.
Why else give Argentina 40 billion, Nazis always flee there.
But they also fled to America. So why do people always say this? Or just typical American BS we are the best and nothing bad ever happened here.
They didn’t flee to America. They were recruited.
ussr also took some nazi scientists for their space program, iirc.
i think its just a jab at the hitler fled to Argentina myth/conspiracy/legend/4th word.
All that means is that they’re going to do everything they can to rig the midterms.
They did, they will, they already are. Every single living person who is still a registered Republican, every single person who has voted for a Republican in the last 20 years is a traitor to both humanity and the American people.
i could almost forgive someone voting for bush, i could forgive someone voting for romney. but i wouldn’t forgive a trump voter. this is exactly what they wanted. they played the game and they deserve their prize.
note, i would not forgive a vote for mccain. he gave a voice to the crazy wing of his party by letting palin be his running mate. if not for him, the tea party might not have happened, and we might not even have had to be in this mess.
They sent ice into nyc ahead of the mayoral elections specifically targeting areas that are latino, indian and Asian. I think this is them testing the tampering.
They have plans for almost everything I’m sure. They’ve probably been thinking about this takeover for over 10 years.
Decades they have been planning this for decades.
They have broken so many laws, its ride or die time for them.
I mean shit, that would be the wise thing to do. I probably would too if I was worried about investigations into all the war crimes I committed, all the rights I violated, all the documented abuse and negligence, and all the humans that have died or gone missing in their fucking detention centers. Not to mention all the money they’ve clearly stolen, and contracts they’ve violated.
I was actually thinking that’s probably the real reason Stephen Miller sold his house rather than he was threatened bc “radical leftists” wrote mean messages in chalk on his sidewalk.
Why would they care? Look, setting aside concerns about dem chances in 2026, or concerns about if the election is even certified if dems win, what would dems do? Oooh, subpoena, so scary. When have republicans ever given a shit? Furthermore when have dems ever actually held these criminals to actual criminal account?
I really dislike Nancy Pelosi, but she actually did a lot to intervene when Dems took the House back during Trump’s first administration.
Democrats to use House majority to launch Trump investigations
It doesn’t get talked about enough, but Trump had plans to profit greatly from COVID and vaccine privatization. He likely would have been successful if he’d been able to roll out the vaccine without democratic oversight.
He had a lot of evil plans actually, and I’m pretty sure that most of his backlash against the vaccine and COVID mandates was mainly due to him being angry he wasn’t allowed to profit from the pandemic in as many ways as he hoped.
Before the pandemic, top contractor received billions from government
Vaccine Maker Earned Record Profits but Delivered Disappointment in Return
Emergent BioSolutions was awarded a $628 million federal contract with no competitive bidding. Top executives received big bonuses while factories mostly sat idle and tens of millions of Covid-19 doses were thrown away.
Covid-19: Trump sought to buy vaccine developer exclusively for US, say German officials
Trump officials actively lobbied to deny states money for vaccine rollout last fall
And if a subpoena isn’t scary why are Republicans in the House and Senate refusing to subpoena JP Morgan to force the CEO to release bank records of transactions between Jeffery Epstein and Peter Thiel?
“Chances”? It’s a fucking wipeout by the Democrats by any stretch of polling whatsoever unless they try and rig, which they are trying to do now.
Don’t even pretend like the GOP has a chance in hell.
Dawg Republicans are still up 7% favorability across the country, 34.7% to 41.5%. Like fuck Trump but come on, stop and look at the fuckin party. Half the dem seats in the senate up for reelection are in states Trump won; meanwhile all Republican senate seats up for reelection are safe, save Maine. You can’t see Bernie, AOC, and Mamdani out here and attribute their popularity to the rest of the party, like Jesus Christ the Democratic party needs reform.
All the projections I’m looking at show 2026 with neither party having a majority, but leaning Republican.
Please. Nothing will happen because the Supreme Court will back Trump. Trump will pardon them.
The only possible path to accountability is if Democrats take control of Presidency/House/Senate in 3.5 years. And even then I doubt anything will be done in the name of “healing the nation”.
The only possible path to accountability is…
… a fleet of guillotines.
Edit: I don’t actually know the collective noun for a group of guillotines, or even if there is one.
I don’t know either, but I think a “gallery” would be a fine collective term.
Yes the left loves this BS.
Pretty funny theory.
What are all these white liberals going to do when the elections are blatantly stolen and republicans galvanize their stranglehold on America next year?
Repugs are going to lie and say they won fairly, and the corporate news media will 100% back them up on that lie. Seriously libs, what are you going to do then? Gonna just try to get em next time in ‘28?..
Dem voters are going to do absolutely nothing.
They didn’t do shit when GWB created “Homeland Security” and the Patriot Act. They did nothing to stop the Tea Party. They didn’t do shit when Citizens United passed. They did nothing when Russia installed a puppet in the White House a decade ago. They did nothing when he stole classified documents. They did nothing when he was convicted of multiple felonies. They did nothing when the president’s top advisor did a sieg heil in front of the entire country. They did nothing when he started calling the national guard into US cities. They did nothing when he named The Department of War. They did nothing when he demolished the east wing…
There is no resistance. They did 2 fucking “peaceful” parades in 4 months. US liberals are a bigger problem than MAGA voters at this point and deserve whatever they get.
All “normal” routes were already lost as of Jan. 20th when they took power and threw away the Constitution. With one party and the SCOTUS on their side it’ll be almost impossible to dislodge them using peaceful means. There may still be a chance to save what scraps of democracy remain at the state and local levels and try to rebuild from there but to succeed that way will take a generation or more.
It’s irritating to see all these pundits talk about, “well, when the Dems are back in power …” They’re the ones who are supposed to know what’s going on. If they really believe it’s going to work that way, they’re in total denial.
Yes everyone is going to go oh no the stolen election and just refuse to admit the Democrats are unelectable. The republicans are still polling higher then the democrats.
As the 2026 midterm elections fast approach, …
“Fast” approach? It already feels like an eternity since Jan. 20th and there’s still over a year to go. 😩
They’ve done so much damage so fast
It’s amazing how fast government can be when they ignore laws, due process, and the rights of citizens
Yesterday I heard the news talking about how Trump’s probably gonna interfere in the election next week. They’re not even pretending like the law matters anymore
To Argentina?
Hey now some Confederates fled to Brazil, it ain’t just Argentina where they may go
IIRC a lot of Nazis went to South America
Yeah. Mostly Argentina, but also Brazil, Chile, and Paraguay. That’s what the first comment was talking about- “To Argentina?”
I was making reference to the Dixie colony set up by ex-confederates after the civil war. I am well aware that the Nazis were scatter shot across South America as a whole.
Nazis in Argentina, it’s all coming full circle
I honestly think that’s what they are trying to setup. Full stop.
We did just put a deposit and first months rent on effectively they entire country with that $40B Trump sent them. I heard its non-refundable so we gotta use it.
If history repeats itself then yes. They did found many nazi’s there after ww2
We can hope
It would be great for America if Thiel, Miller, Bezos, and the rest of the gang left. Problem is, they become an issue for whichever nation hosts them.
Hopefully it is Argentina that they exile themselves to.
You forgot Musk.
I’m pretty sure they will bring kimbal and then put up a “no musks club” sign.
There are too damn many of the critters to list without eyes glazing over.
Russia would take them in i reckon
