This gives off the energy of spreadsheet data bros thinking they can be good pundits/give good takes not based on data.
Although at least this is way less egregious since it's just an opinion

Matt uou would support a repeal on interracial marriage if it polled aboce water. You have no principles.
I consider myself a conservative democrat, and I have no respect for people like you even if we agree on electoral strategy, because you have no real values.

There’s nothing wrong with @casten.house.gov being an electoral underperformer in a safe seat, but in his thread attacking me he is asking Democrats to defer to his political judgment. I think it’s a smarter bet to defer to folks who overperform in tough races.

Jain has been on one ever since joining. It's like he cannot believe any poll result that isn't his own
external validity here is qustionable. other polls give dramatically different results — including exits for the election we just had where democrats won econ-focused voters by 30 points. maybe the options aren't constructed right, or a top-3 would do better. www.theargumentmag.com/p/democrats-...

This sounds like something out of Looney Toons. Like Bugs Bunny making a structure that looks like a woman in order to trick Elmer Fudd
Republicans baited Jasmine Crockett to run for Senate. In June, Beto O'Rourke, James Talarico, Joaquin Casto and Colin Allred all met to discuss 2026. Republican operatives noticed Crockett wasn't there. So they promoted polls to bait her into running.

An ‘AstroTurf Recruitment Process’: National Republicans Propped Up Jasmine Crockett to Push Her Into a Senate Run
The NRSC started including Crockett’s name in polling and conducted “a sustained effort” to get Crockett, the party’s preferred candidate to run against, into the race.

John Cornyn is GIDDY that Crockett jumped into the race. “I'm delighted she jumped she jumped in. Unfortunately, she's symptomatic to what's happened to the Democratic Party. They've been taken over by the lunatics and crazies.”

Oh, here's a big surprise. The transphobes don't believe in ADHD either.
then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

Still holding out hope that Crockett doesn't actually run for senate. It'd be such a bad idea for her to go ahead and run for senate that it would defy reason that she does do that.
I'm sure she knows that. Right?

With the right more moderate candidate the Dems would have won the TN special election. The GOP is in serious trouble.
A recap of tonight's special election in TN-07 (plus a WAY-TOO-EARLY model of the 2026 midterms).
A swing of 13 points would put Dems over 250 seats in the U.S. House. A more reasonable scenario—say, D+6—still gives them the House, and maybe the Senate.

What the special election in Tennessee's Seventh District means for the 2026 midterms
Republicans held a Trump +22 seat — but by only 9 points. A swing half as large would give Democrats the U.S. House in 2026, and put the Senate clearly in play
