I thought that 26 would be a bloodbath after the 24 election, but the DEMs have fricked it so bad the past 2 years I cooled on that. The recent data doesn't seem good for the GOP/MAGA, but it may be BS. Looking at the behavior of the admin is telling, though. Having to do an online rally to save Letlow in LA is just pathetic. Sure everyone with a brain knew Paxton would struggle (even against a terrible candidate), and Letlow is a bland empty suit, but being a bland/empty GOP suit in LA should still mean coasting to victory.

I don’t get how they can say “not planning on voting” when there data set is simply “didn’t vote early”. These people will come out in droves on Election Day.

Communists label everything they hate as fascism.

We are focused on America. Tax cuts, crime reduction, closed border, etc. One necessary war does not change anything.

People eventually get tired of voting to “save democracy” for people that don’t keep promises and continue the reckless spending.

It's not the liberals I am worried about. The ones controlling the party are way too far left to be called liberals.

Yeah these dumb-arse non-voting GOP types must be thinking the Dem alternatives are going to make such a brilliant and profound "we're gonna show them" point by their lack of resolve and ambition.

It changes the voting pattern of those you promised that it wouldn’t happen on your watch, because they remember, and they know it was, and is, unnecessary. When they slap you down, it will be on you, not on them.

So, a Democrat socialist is not a communist? What would you call Ilhan Omar (if that's her real name?) She hates the country and has been vocal about it.

DSA are not communists.

But the policies of the DSA fail miserably. And the next "government solution" is communism.

It is not inappropriate to accuse DSA of supporting communism when their ideas have been tried, failed, and when they fail at a level big enough, they lead to communism.

France is a very easy example right now. More social program spending than USSR. And the services for that spending are so shitty that the recipients of the services are demanding communism.

My understanding is people don't really appreciate what is at stake. It's about voting for candidates to keep control of the House and Senate, so the Commies and Islamists can't tear the country apart.


Damned straight. Let’s elect the Neocons and Big Spenders to do that.

Y’all still don’t get it.




I sm motivated enough by social issues to show up.



There is a decent enough percentage of R voters that aren’t



When they get pushed to vote with “existential threats to your way of life” and then the Rs pull a complete 180 on what they campaigned on then the voters don’t go to vote a D ticket.



They just don’t go vote. And when the left does what they do….well the Right did it too so

You mean $6 diesel, fricking over farmers, and building data centers next to your back 40 isn't a winning strategy for rural voters?

I've been hearing the farmers are mad as hell over tariffs and diesel and are staying home.


That’s why Trump announced the relief funds for diesel expenses to farmers

They are upset but I don’t know any voting D or not voting. They just like to whine so they’ll get more money
