They have no path to win midterms, and they will run first. Funny thing is that they literally have nowhere to run. 🤣
We can only hope.
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.
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.
Well if an analyst says it, it must be true!
This is copium.
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.
“a number of top Trump administration officials may resign in an effort to avoid being “slapped with subpoenas” from a Democrat-controlled Congress”
Scared of getting subpoenad? How about DON’T COMMIT THE CRIME! That’s why we have these things called LAWS. Don’t commit the crime if you can’t do the time!
The worst of it won’t even be them getting arrested, but will be the years if not decades, if ever, trying to clean up the infrastructural, economic, reputation and political damage they’ve done to this country in their wake. Ugh.
This is cope.
If they leave office it’s probably going to be in a body bag after they’ve outstayed their welcome
That should keep the nazi hunters busy for a while, they were running out of targets, but now the pond has been restocked.
To Argentina…like the Nazis.
I, for one, will not be fine with them just being removed from power. SEVERE punishment must be served or I start only voting for the people running on making that happen. You do not get to harm an entire nation of people without serious prison time or death sentences. We already learned what happens when you let a bunch of violent racists off the hook and integrate them back into your society without proper punishment setting an example going forward.
And Argentina is not even their only option at this point. Trump will uninstall Maduro and install someone else, maybe Machado. Then the 21st century nazis have a friend in Venezuela as well.
So they know they’re crooks.
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.
If the Democrats just assume public anger will mean they are going to win
Hey, look, it’s
19841988200020042006200820142016202020222024 all over again.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?
Surprise isn’t a thing when they’ve been gleefully announcing their actions in rigging it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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 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 currently have 45 seats 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.
Even with house and senate, he has the SCOTUS behind him and a military at his fingertips.
Most congress can do is starve his branch for funding and even then only with 60 senators.
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.
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.
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?
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.
