i mean, millions losing access to healthcare baked in from the results of the 2024 general, republicans have been trying to nuke the aca since it was passed and now they have the numbers

as someone who lives in range of philly broadcasting (sports, news, etc), trust and believe that ad was real and quite annoying

We need a wealth tax because the ability to accumulate unlimited wealth makes you completely insane

part of it is that any time a halfway-charismatic politician gets trump alone he will give away the farm, we saw this a few times with *chuck fucking schumer* in his first term

prog-sphere campaign staffers continue to be a massive liability for candidates

It’s also part of their belief that Zohran is more than a Mayor Elect

They aren’t in contention

He’s not going to run against Trump.

He’s not going to be pushing or blocking bills in the house or senate that could show up on Trumps desk

The Dead? Phish? Goose? or like a general thread, band unspecified

wait, i heard they took the trigger language out of the prop bc the texas thing was a done deal?

what percentage of the left is just ex-evangelicals that swapped out the rapture for the revolution

There's really no way to protect the people from themselves in a democracy, tbh

There's problems in the GOP, the media, and the Democratic establishment (in that order), but the fundamental problem is the moral rot in a citizenry that doesn't immediately reject a candidate like Trump

What this statement is really doing is showing that you're consuming mostly people complaining about Democrats instead of what is actually happening, and that should make you concerned about who you're listening to.

Side note: It's pretty rich to complain that Kat's opponents are getting money from out of state.

a lot of people refuse to accept the fact that roughly half of all voting age Americans choose to vote for Republicans in any given election and will perform the most insane mental gymnastics to avoid doing so

any demographics that vary any further than +/-5% are outliers!

damn, so you’re saying this while fully realizing that white voters in the state put up Assad numbers for republicans, and are in the majority demographics wise? why do you believe that your neighbors are temporarily embarrassed bolsheviks, or that there’s an untapped trove of progressive voters?

"you voted for bigoted culture war first pols statewide but also the pro-choice referendums. What are your reasons for voting for GOP pols despite agreeing with a lot of Dem policies"

"Oh, you know the reasons."

Also, when states go R+50 statewide but also win D priorities win as standalone ballot measures, like the abortion referendums, the bigotry should be *more obvious* but it seems to confuse casual observers instead, despite there already being a tweet explaining it.

If Elizabeth can figure out how to make like 10% of white southern GOP folks vote Democratic, the Democratic Party would give her so much money, she and many of her descendants would never have to work again. Load-bearing "if", though
