They have no path to win midterms, and they will run first. Funny thing is that they literally have nowhere to run. 🤣
Well if an analyst says it, it must be true!
This is copium.
Charge them, all the project 2025 people and all the dark enlightenment oligarchs for treason
Why would the Trump admin flee? The Biden admin already proved Democrats are toothless.
They’re total cowards, that’s why. Hegseth is convinced he’s the next target to get shot at, and is redirecting enormous resources to have a personal guard at all times.
It’s so cute to blame pre-collapse Dems for their ability to do anything post-collapse. They have absolutely no power at any level of government, and people are furious they haven’t walked on water yet. “We voted you out and gave you as much power as we should have given a criminal and a destroyer – which is nothing. Why haven’t you rebeled for the greater good? Because invading the capitol is okay when my team does it. Also my armchair is not comfy.”
This is the “conservatives must fall in line, but progressives must fall in love” adage proved again and again but with a much higher bar.
It’s so cute to blame pre-collapse Dems for their ability to do anything post-collapse.
What are we allowed to blame Dems in 2009 and 2021 for? Does it matter that they’re all the same fucking guys, because none of these mummies ever retire?
Just one more vote bro, it will totally work this time.
Looks to me like not voting didn’t help much either.
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.
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.
The DNC is truely doing the bare minimum to keep up the imagine. Its not a both sides are the same, but a lot of the both sides like money and we now all know most people are fucking selfish and stupid(at least in the united states).
There’s a primary going on with multiple candidates and she’s currently losing in polling.
2 candidates that I know of. The DNC supports one and is campaigning against the other? Is there a third candidate I am unaware of and can you source the polling you are referencing?
Oh, so you knew about the primary but just decided to say the “DNC” (actually just establishment Democrats) gave Maine no other option?
Just shut the fuck up. Go Google it yourself if you want to know who else is running or what the polls are. You not being able to keep up with news or put any effort at all into knowing current events before telling people what’s going on is your problem.
What is the DNC if not the establishment democrats? The Parties leadership? Didn’t you respond to my post? I’ve been keeping up with the news, I haven’t see any polls to suggest that Janet mills is not the front runner. You said other wise. Support your statement? Nothing you said is of value so far perhaps taking your own advice on the stfu part
You probably need to spend sometime outside the bubble you’re living in. Most other places are fighting back.
By doing what?
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.
This is bullshit scare tactics to rally their base. They said they would flee if Biden won, they didn’t. They aren’t gonna do shit.
What the hell would they have to flee from? Under Biden, all they got was richer.
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”.
We don’t have 3.5 years, the midterms are all we have left.
In less than a year, the GOP has normalized complete fealty and disregard of the rule of law to Trump. Complete victory for fascism in the US right now is a matter of “when” and not “if.”
Which makes the midterms (ugh, once again, I’m getting so tired of this) the most important election of our lifetimes. Assuming we can still get free and fair elections in 2026 before total fascist takeover, re-elevating Congress to an equal branch of the government is literally the only legal move we have left.
That is if these Nazis haven’t already fully rigged the coming mid-terms, through all the various/nefarious means.
They own the voting machine companies, no ?
I doubt it. Didn’t Trump lose a legal battle saying the machines were rigged against him?
TL;DR Dominion, the voting machine company, has since been sold to a company run by a former election official who happens to be a Republican voter. For about a decade he ran a company selling an iPad-based device to help poll workers check in eligible voters.
One could see this as him just expanding his business but that is a huge upgrade. Where did he get the money for that? And why did it happen only a couple of weeks ago just as the polling was showing a landslide against Trump?
Bruh real talk, you can’t vote your way out of fascism. You know exactly what I’m talking about.
If things keep going as they are (and maybe already), there’s no chance for a free and fair midterms election. The last election was the most important one and we blew it.
I don’t think we did. Remember when the traitors had their hands on physical voting machines and source code?
He didn’t win. He wasn’t shot. He’s on the list.
The list?
I agree we jumped off the cliff. But since I’m not ready to smash against the rocks, I’m holding onto any rational hope, even if it’s akin to fashioning a parachute out of our shirts on the way down.
Same. Cognitive dissonance allows me to both acknowledge reality and cling to hope at the same time. You never know if it’s really hopeless until you’ve actually hit the rocks, so let’s go ahead and try to make that parachute.
I live in a red state but I’ve still always voted so it won’t be that different for me anyway. 🥲
Honestly the whole budget crisis gives me hope that our institutions are holding up.
Trump hasn’t “ordered” that the government reopens.
He doesn’t want it to open. He’s got more power without all that overview. And his goal is to crash and burn everting, so shutting g down the government help with that.
He’s certainly complaining that he wants it re-opened.
He’s been simultaneously bragging and telling Republican senators not to negotiate
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.
The collective term is a “find out”.
It’s “a justice” of guillotines.
I don’t know either, but I think a “gallery” would be a fine collective term.
A terror of guillotines
Yes the left loves this BS.
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.
Don’t forget the huge gerrymandering push to steal dozens of seats and try to force a Republican majority
Vote yes on prop 50
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.
Things are so polarised that Republican voters will seemingly accept anything of their party rather than accept a Democrat.
So, like Nazis?
Not sure if people get this yet or not. We either crush them in the next election or we end up physically fighting them. This is how fascism works. They have signaled to us that there is no red line for them regarding their own representatives. None. They will absolutely allow this to go all the way unless we stop them. And, at this point, I’m not sure the election thing is going to work because when fascists are in control, they tend to not allow fair elections. I mean they attempted a violent insurrection the last time they lost. Who actually thinks they’re going to allow a fair election?
So, like Nazis?
The beating heart of the Nazi movement was the revanchist WW1 veterans allied with the US-backed eugenics-pilled German industrialists of the 1920s.
It’s pretty clear the US is flush with the second half. No shortage of insane Silicon Valley techbros who think they can vibes-code a libertarian utopia with a bit more unfettered police power. But I have to wonder how much of the former is frothing under the skin of the modern American system. How many modern day ICE goons are hold-overs from the War on Terror, desperately looking for a W after putting up all those Ls in Afghanistan and Iraq and a dozen other theaters of war we’re not allowed to talk about?
If the Democrats just assume public anger will mean they are going to win
Hey, look, it’s
19841988200020042006200820142016202020222024 all over again.Surprise isn’t a thing when they’ve been gleefully announcing their actions in rigging it.
You are absolutely insane:
- Trump is underwater on every single issue
- Support in his minority voting blocks that were the reason for 1% win have abandoned him
- This Gerrymandering blshit is being put to a stop
- Iowa, Virginia, and Nebraska are on track to flip
- Dems have more popular polling candidates writ large in the midterms
- The farming bloc just had a SEISMIC shift away from the GOP and will be endorsing any challengers
Where the hell are you seeing the GOP winning anything? Even their own party is saying it’s going to be an absolute wipeout.
You are absolutely insane:
I saw a lot of people say this exact fucking line the LAST TWO GODDAMN TIMES TRUMP WON.
We need to stop making assumptions and start looking at factual reality.
Polling is all over the place but polling can’t be trusted worth a shit. Best advice is don’t be comfortable, be nervous, vote. Some folks clearly need fear as a motivator
Just the gerrymandering issue alone is a huge setback. Then you factor in the dominion voting systems sale to a trump donor. It’s gunna be a wild ride at least.
The Gerrymandering has effectively been shut down by Prop 50 being so popular in CA. Indiana isn’t moving on theirs, Missouri looks like it’s going to be shutdown, Ohio can’t move…etc…etc. These corrupt morons have only JUST learned what gerrymandering will actually do in their states, and they have no path to making any of this work anywhere but TX it seems, and CA has neutered that bullshit.
I hope you’re right. But I am remaining pessimistic, as this country is rightly fucked.
Not one damn single thing you mentioned matters when it’s quite literally TRUMP’S people in charge of every aspect of voting; from the voting machines themselves, to the oversight of the polling locations. He’s spent every second of the last year making sure of that.
I’m happy you’re optimistic. God knows we can use some of that in the world today. But damn, man…don’t be naive.
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.
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.
I honestly think that’s what they are trying to setup. Full stop.
Nazis in Argentina, it’s all coming full circle
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
The historic refuge of their ilk
Like rats fleeing a sinking ship. You folks better vote your asses off!
No one ever voted their way out of fascism. Just saying.
Poor deluded souls thinking that there are going to be midterms (or at least fair ones).
Trump is desperately trying to incite something to declare martial law. And if he doesn’t manage to do it, closer to the midterms he’ll just drop all pretense and do it anyway. That’s…what…he…fucking…does.
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 broken so many laws, its ride or die time for them.
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.
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?..
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.
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.
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
We can only hope.
