why are we trusting the daily caller exactly?

I don’t know, I haven’t been carded in a few years, meanwhile, every dispo I’ve ever been to goes way the fuck out of its way to have every customers ID scanned, not just checked.

to be fair making Donald Trump bug the shit out of his Senate caucus is a good thing. Instigating Republican in fighting is it a genuine end unto itself.

thats fair but also getting got in a primary vs in a general is sorta a distinction without a difference from the perspective of the elected.

like ofc dems are gonna pick up seats in 26, its just probably gonna be with a few new faces in old seats

like it is incredibly infrequent for there to be any individual action that causes a candidate to lose their seat, but that doesn’t mean that nothing matters. Individually inconsequential decisions add up in aggregate!

to be fair, while this is true, the odds that somebody is primaried for a laundry list of reasons of which this is one of them is quite high in my opinion .

IMO the next two election cycles look a lot like the early Obama years, there will be a some churn, but much of the change will be from currently seated dems, watching a candidate from sapphire county, New York get their teeth kicked in, deciding they don’t want that heat and finding their spine

in the eyes of your average primary voter, this is just one in a long line of disappointments from their electeds.

The most frustrating thing is that in my opinion, the Congress people most likely to pay the price are likely those who didn’t actually throw our entire country under the bus .
