Former Trump campaign chairman and White House chief strategist Steve Bannon told his podcast viewers that Republicans should take Tuesday night’s losses to heart, saying: “The midterms start tonight, and the warning signs are flashing.” He observed that “Democrats just flipped two Georgia commissioners,” marking “their first statewide wins in 30 years.”

Far-right influencer Mike Cernovich (who spawned the “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory) tweeted: “Ted Cruz and Mark Levin are walking Trump into impeachments and then prison. 2026 will be a blood bath.” MAGA podcaster Jack Posobiec likewise warned that “2026 will be worse if we don’t course-correct.”

    See, you still don’t understand.

    When the ‘fall in line’ strategy isn’t working, you don’t blame the people not falling in line for an establishment candidate. Instead, you should be blaming the people making it so all we have to choose from is ‘evil’ and ‘slightly-less-evil.’

    If we could run good candidates that actually represent the working class instead of just candidates who aren’t as bad as the opposition, then this discussion wouldn’t even be happening.

    You are doing your part to support the two-pronged strategy, and the working class continues to suffer because of it. Please do better. Please be smarter.

      No, I understand the rationale. It’s just shit, infantile logic. I guarantee you I do more for getting leftists in than the moral high grounders did on average plus a SD or two. It’s just easier to say inaction isn’t an action and act like you’re not indirectly responsible for the shit you preached against and more.

        Well, if you want to do more to get leftists elected, then focus your frustrations on the ones undermining working class agendas. It would do wonders for getting more people out to vote because they would actually feel as though the people they’re voting for have their interests at hand.

        Getting angry at the people who don’t fall in line is a waste of energy.

        That comment clearly demonstrates the problem. That is the attitude of the DNC and the Democratic leadership. Dismiss the electorate as too stupid to live, then wonder why we don’t support your terrible candidates.
