On top of encouraging the xenophobia itself, which is horrible enough, this also shows they are wholly incapable of actual political strategy. If they can't even read rhe room here and now, how can they plan for the future?

If you want us to give Labour credit for stuff like renters reform - yes, it's a good thing - or investment in the NHS, then you have to stop trying to out-do the fascists on immigration.

Looks like she finally learned about her constituents.
They need affordable healthcare.
They need rural hospitals.
They need SNAP.
They need Medicaid.
They will rely solely on social security
They’ll rely on Medicare.
They don’t like Pedophiles.

They are having to actually spend money to have a chance to win, in a +22 district?
Even the Republicans know we are heading for a blowout wave election next year.

Even if they don't win, forcing the GOP to defend +20 districts just burns their resources and is a strategic win even if they don't get a tactical victory there on Tuesday. And it has put a massive damper on redistricting.

If Dems aren’t going full bore and calling this guy Van EPPstein because he won’t commit to release the records, they are TERRIBLE at politics. Full steam ahead.

It's sad to think pouring money into campaign can turn the tide, it's like voters have no memory.

Tennessee has always been much bluer than elections have lead people outside of the state to believe.

From Memphis, Nashville, Chattanooga, Knoxville, and Johnson City.

All towns with heavy music scenes, and coveted venues.

Music without freedom is oxymoronic.

This, to me, is completely bonkers.

In the US you can - literally - buy elections. And that's supposed to be democracy?

I think you need a big overhaul, and to eradicate money in politics.
And the end of Donald's batshit insane regime would be the perfect time to do it.

They're trying to raise the next generation of pedophile tolerant, and racist Americans. Even more than we already have. An education system built on Heritage Foundation lies creates people who are loyal to a power structure, over principled in their morality.

#Florida schools are adopting an educational model created by the #HeritageFoundation. This is what indoctrination looks like. Keep an eye on changes to your local education system. Block these developments before their foundations are laid. They will try & roll this out everywhere.

We are getting super mobilized down here in Tennessee, and the Dem candidate‘s poll numbers are steadily climbing; boost her up 5 or 6 more points & we’ll get the upset!

Extremely unlikely they win this district. But the Dem getting within 10% would be a HUUUUUGE good sign for 2026. Heck, even getting within 15% would be a good sign.

Interesting that 2 of the 8 senators sneaking in a $500,000 bonus of taxpayer funds to reopen the government are both TN senators. It’s shameful even for TN. If TN republicans even have any shame.
