The GOP’s once sure-fire odds to retain their Senate majority in the midterms are looking bleaker every day, but according to a new report from Politico, some in the party are plotting a “coup” that could save them from a complete wipeout: flipping John Fetterman, the increasingly ostracized Democratic senator. Fetterman was first elected to the Senate from Pennsylvania in 2022, besting the Trump-backed Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz and helping Democrats defy the odds and grow their majority in the chamber. Initially styling himself as a working-class progressive champion, he has since made a major shift away from his own party, voicing support for various initiatives and nominees from President Donald Trump and breaking the Democratic minority on several key votes.
This isn’t a normal cycle tho…
The “fight everywhere” plan is paying off huge, state parties are operating at campaign levels and have been for over a year.
“Knock on wood” and all that, but the next two midterms are gonna be blood bath, simply be cause some of these seats are seeing their first serious and well funded challenger in decades.
They’re seats neoliberals handed to Republicans to prevent an actual majority of Dems and them having to do anything.
I’m usually right about this shit, we’re gonna see record breaking turnouts and a blue wVe. Everyone will take the wrong lesson from this too.
The gains are because this is what happens when neoliberals don’t have the reigns to the DNC, and that’s all it’s ever taken.
The gains will be because enough of the low information voters who put Trump back in office will remember that he hasn’t made their daily lives better.
I’d LOVE for that to happen, but in the Senate I don’t believe it will. The HOUSE races will be a bloodbath of epic proportions though!
Yeah, it’s a long progress and will take a couple cycles.
The only way we fuck it up is if a neoliberal wins the presidential primary due to depressed turnout.
If that happens, they’ll likely still win the general,but then they’ll hand the party to a neoliberal who will go back to fixing primaries.
That’s why there’s already a big push against the DNC by billionaire owned media.
Like, imagine the type of DNC chair someone like AOC would nominate (officially there’s a performative vote).
The way to get that tho, is getting someone like AOC thru the Dem primary, not around it.
Ironically enough, it’s the plan for actual Marxist-Lenism

We just have to make sure we don’t hand the keys to the bus to someone like Stalin at that point in the game…
The Party needs a lot of power to keep the capitalists from making a comeback. They will inevitably abuse that to keep their in-party enemies (e.g., Trotskyists) from getting any power. And eventually they will realize that it’s hard to get absurdly rich on communist labor alone, so they’ll allow capitalism back while maintaining one-party rule and political repression of the masses.
