A bad presidential candidate effects down ballot races.
Which is why Hillary probably still would have handed Republicans the House and Senate if she didn’t take all the states parties funds for her victory tour.
trumps daughter in law controls the RNC’s purse strings tho, they’re probably doing a similar grift already.
Which is why it’s important to keep pressure on Harris from the left. If she gets both houses and doesn’t do anything because she only hears from the right. It’s just handing Republicans one or both houses back for the midterms.
Now more than ever, we have to be ready to get shit done on day one. None of this shit Biden pulls where he assumed office and “looked into” shit until we couldn’t pass the party platform.
There’s zero excuse to repeat that
which is why the walz VP pick is interesting. he seems to spend political capital quickly and effectively
its going to be clear early on how much influence progressives really have in a potential harris administration.
Walz is exactly what a democratic “moderate” should be
He might be further to the right than some want, but when they say that. Dude sits down and listens to them and is willing to change his mind.
I don’t think he’ll specifically pull Kamala to the left. But I think if the base disagrees with Kamala, he’ll push for her to listen to what they have to say and to keep an open mind.
It’s kind of depressing that’s such a unique thing, but it’s good it’s happening and I hope it signals a change for the moderate wing.
I don’t think we’d have gotten someone like that if people weren’t vocal about their issues with Biden and his responses. Which is why I think it’s important we keep it up. If the only people pushing for “moderates” to change direction are from the right, we can’t act surprised when they always move right.
We dont have billionaires lobbying for us, we got to make the noise ourselves.
While I wish Biden did more, he did get a ton of fantastic policy through.
Anything that helped the people too much was stymied by Manchin and Sinema (arguably the list would continue with centrists peeling off from Democrats) and the supreme court.
Hopefully a landslide win happens and meaningful legislation is quickly passed. Bringing gov’t programs up to speed for helping the middle class would probably cement democratic leadership for at least a decade
While I wish Biden did more, he did get a ton of fantastic policy through.
You mean legislation that he didn’t veto?
If that counts in his pro column, then everything else that didn’t pass goes in the con column.
Biden himself wouldn’t shut up about how he couldn’t change someone’s mind even if they had a D by their name. So I’m interested in how you take that comment and rationalize giving him credit for how they vote.
I mean. He literally said it would be useless for him to try so why should he try… Then you want to clap for him because he didn’t veto something?
It’s a pretty uphill battle right? Aren’t Dems defending senate seats in Montana, West Virginia, Georgia and Arizona? I think the House is pretty much guaranteed if Harris wins, but the Senate is a long shot.
Dems would have to win every competitive race to keep the senate, and that would just be 50-50 so we need Walz as VP too.
Y’all hitched your wagon to this shit show. Now you get to live with the consequences, ya Republican gits.
Let’s turn that into reality
Find how to register to vote for where you are
Be sure to do this a few times between now and the election. Repubs are pulling all kinds of fuckery trying to get people kicked off the voter rolls in multiple states. These assholes fight dirty as hell.
Republican senate majority = More extreme Supreme Court.
McTurtlefuck already stole 1/3 Supreme Court seats, what gonna stop him or his ilk from stealing remaining seats? All of corruption scandals at scotus is a direct result of senate republican majority in past 20 years or so.
“There’s no question Trump is going through self-immolation. He’s killing himself. All swing states are won by independent votes, and he’s alienated the independent vote almost every day with some foolish statement that marginalizes him, and as a result the party — and the majority of independents are educated women, and they’re just turned off by the guy and what he says,” said former Sen. Judd Gregg (R-N.H.), a onetime adviser to Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell’s (Ky.) leadership team.
Huh. It’s almost as if Trump intends on claiming the Presidency by means other than actually getting the most votes (and I don’t just mean losing the popular vote but legitimately winning the Electoral College).
They have chosen as thier candidate the least popular president in recorded history. He had a decent shot when he was running against the second-least popular president. But now …
They should have gone with Haley. She’d be a powerhouse at this point.
that bitch is playin conservative-neutral because she knows she will still be here when all these old conservative shitbags are dead.
Also they wouldn’t be worrying about losing entire states because 5% of her voters defect or stay home.
If Trump hadn’t run and instead had endorsed Haley (or basically any other “viable” candidate) that would probably be the case.
But if Trump lost the primary, I would be surprised if we didn’t see some of his more die hard cultists stay home or vote for some third party candidate out of spite. Especially since Trump would never take the loss gracefully and endorse the winning candidate.
Thank God for
MississippiTrump.lol fuckem.
don’t worry too much, we wouldn’t want you to roll over and die after your useless hearts explode at the possibility of losing some power.
