He doesn’t like his family

Also not to take victory laps but it's time to admit that anyone who spent time telling you how unpopular democrats were as a brand were wasting your time. Or hand wringing over social issues that very few people truly care about. Our political cycle revolves around the economy. When the economy is good, the party in control does relatively well. When the economy is bad, the party in control does very bad. We had a presidential election focused on pricing and inflation. Trump has made both worse with archaic tariff policies that we haven't seen since they sparked the Great Depression nearly 100 years ago. An event that led to republicans losing the WH for the next 25 years. Republicans won congress TWICE between 1931 and and 1995 lol.

The Supreme Court seems to be on the cusp of nuking Trump's tariff policies and reiterating that power belongs to congress. That will certainly benefit the markets but it won't stop the economic decline we're in. Too much damage is baked in now. My point is, things are gonna keep getting worse between now and fall 2026. And it's very clear that all these +5 R seats won't be safe in a wave election, so even if the Supreme Court nukes the VRA it won't matter. A wave plus the redistricting blue states are doing will win democrats the house. Bet on it.

Affordability, inflation, tariffs, corruption, democracy. All that matters right now.

I'm reading "107 Days" now, and it's a good book, but in hindsight, she fukked up making reproductive rights the main theme of her campaign. I know she talked about other things, but people are stupid and will only associate one thing with a candidate. She should have talked about the economy every chance she got. In hindsight, Bernie was right to tell her to appeal to voters about their pockets.

can't the Dems find any pro-gun white men who can stand up?

Just finished it a few weeks ago and agree with all this.

1) It's Texas
2) They don't have term limits for the Governor's office
3) It's Texas

weed legalization hasn't been the success i thought it was. i think the consensus is it's pretty unpleasant to smell it everywhere. vegas, denver, nyc, etc

it should never be illegal to possess, but i don't know if widespread "anyone can buy it in stores" is that great, either. Dems might wanna think about how they approach this nationally

Our Allstars gotta be licking their chops to punish Kathy and at the same time help Elise continue to fail upward.

Weed should be legal but it shouldn’t be allowed to be smoked in public. Just like you can’t drink liquor on the street in most places.

That polling will change once the Hemp ban is in place.

This like a d rated poll. Kathy will win nys by like 20
