Dems electing extremists who will get zero votes in the November elections!

You can t counter far right with far left. That's a losing battle. Moderate voters still prefer Republicans over Democrats

This midterm election should be a layup. The problem is a lot of R’s and Independents will get mad at Trump and either vote for one of these idiots in protest or even worse just stay home. People have to turn out in November or these morons will get elected.

The days of "the other guy is worse!" will no longer get people to the polls. The GOP has had two Trump terms to show what they can accomplish and it's been war, debt and a flat economy.

The republicans will not sweep the midterms.

If you are mad at Trump about anything he has done then staying home or voting for these Communists will not help. If anything it will just get worse. People were bitching about gas prices lately. Do you think helping Dems get elected will lower gas prices? These people love high gas prices. The higher the better. Helping Dems get elected in any way will only make life even harder.

We will still hold and likely expand the Senate.(Looks like McConnell is toast so a Dem will be appointed in the interm until a special election is called). The House it is 50/50. It will be a slim majority either way ,but if I had to bet and the election were held today I think they will pick up the House with 5 or few as a majority. Hopefully we hold on to both and the GOP has been handed a gift with DSA making their move ,but they will frick it up.

I don't know, baw. The Republican Party seems pretty good at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

If "the other guy is communist" won't get you to the polls, you're an idiot.

Not by KY rules. It's very unlikely a Dem would get that seat.

3 weeks ago I would have called you crazy and said we are going to lose the House and at best are 50/50 in the Senate.

But now I'm not so sure. The House is going to be very, very close either way. The Senate is looking better. We will lose NC for sure, and maybe Maine. But we have a real chance of picking up Michigan and an outside shot at GA.

LOL. no they won't. The GOP base is not turning out because they know the GOP will not do anything. The GOP is an impotent useless bunch. The Democrats sense blood in the water, and the potential to never give up power. This election will be a bloodbath for the useless trough feeding Repubs.

What does far right even mean?

Just normal, everyday Americans?

Edited to say to two fig gots downvoted this but can explain what far right is.

What is far right?

What are the top three things that make someone a far right political affiliate?

They should but for some reason republican voters only seem to show up for presidential elections.

The Brits didn't turn out for their last major election because their version of the R's didn't get anything done, especially WRT immigration. It got them Keir Starmer. I imagine a lot of them regret not turning out now.

The places where the DSA have won primaries are heavy blue and a republican has 0 shot of winning.

Why? Corporate lobby control via government or... other corporate lobby control via government with a weak stab at socialist policy they can't maintain? The result will continue to be as they are: high crime, stagnating economy, job loss to AI, swelling of social programs, immigrant replacement and war, war, war.

When both options are bad, people generally either choose the devil the DON'T know or they punt.
