2026 Midterm Elections Thread

[Pull Up the Roots]

Why wouldn’t run as a right wing candidate then?





Yes I’m saying modern day. Of course cac supremacy was a more inhibiting block for social and economic progress in this country for a majority of its history but post civil rights era I think Zionism has taken the top spot.

White supremacy is still an issue but it’s secondary to Zionism.



If I gave you an unfiltered answer you would brush me off as a conspiracy nut more than likely so I won’t go too in depth but the Epstien files opened my eyes to a lot of things.

I believe the reason we spend so much on military is for the benefit of Israel

If the Zionist influence was gone tomorrow, we would spend less on the military and invest more domestically.

Think about it from a market-cap standpoint the MIC and defense companies are small businesses compared to our big tech and leading non military industries yet our institutional investment is completely asymmetrically slanted toward military which downstream benefits Zionist state why do you think that is?


Why do you think the only bipartisan agreement our parties can come to is the support of the Zionist state?


Most if not all of our politicians are Israel first, so of course- if that influence is gone then Americans would benefit, we essentially function as a vassal for the benefit of the Zionist state.

You're basically asking "why would someone try to deceive others for personal gain?"

You're going to have to give a detailed explanation, with strong evidence to support your claim that Zionism has supplanted white racism/supremacy.

How?? Empire building precedes Israel. They benefit from US militarism but aren't the primary driver of it. If Zionist influence disappeared, defense contractors would still exist, empire maintenance wouldn't cease, NATO wouldn't disappear, military doctrine wouldn't change, especially in the face of a looming China.

The need to protect the dollar as a global reserve currency and the global force projection required for that wouldn't suddenly come to an end, nor would the need to defend global shipping lanes. These are the legacies of the cold war, any they're not going to disappear if Zionist influence stopped

Also, domestic entitlement spending dwarfs defense spending. Defense spending might be larger within discretionary categories, but that's because entitlements are mandatory spending, so the asymmetry you're talking about is partly because of budgeting mechanics.

Most of our politicians are capital first. Israel disappearing would not have a meaningful effect on that.

There are a lot of people on both sides of the spectrum who feel this way - her and her ilk are the catalyst to radicalizing the right. So if this becomes the new message on the right, while there are those on the left who feel the same but the Dem establishment can't or refuses to read the room, we're going to be in trouble in 2028 and beyond.

I’m not familiar with the YouTuber other than him tying Zionist to Kirk’s murder so I’m not going to defend his honor.

I’m not a Platner fan but the through-line of why he would go on that Pod is that they have a shared dislike for Zionism.

I’m not sanitizing anything, I will straight up tell you what I think

The through-line is they both share an affinity for Nazis. You don't get to claim to be a WWII buff and not know what a totenkopf is. Or amplify Stew Peters. Or be a long-time fan of that podcast. I can't ignore that pattern. I'm not giving someone like that the benefit of the doubt. There are too many people who hide their hate for Jews behind the Zionism claim.

I agree but if the trillions invested in the Middle East since the war on Zion’s enemies began after 9/11 was invested back domestically, even if cacs disproportionately benefited the most from it; wouldn’t we all as a country be better off?

sure

We are a stagnant nation because our politicians rather invest in fighting for Israel than putting it back into the country

Agreed which is why them winning this battle just lost them the next several generations worldwide. I don’t think it’s going to get any better for them here atleast on the left side of the aisle from here on out

I agree but there are voters he can reach by going on that pod than going on a liberal mod and shytting on Democrats.

Agreed. Do what you gotta to do win Maine. We can still judge what you are doing and make character assessments off of what you do to gain power however

It’s hard to understand but there is a shared understanding between the people who believe that Zionist control our country versus the people who think that’s a baseless conspiracy not needed to be taken seriously

I love this new energy from you brother. We may have to talk offline I gotta make sure you not secretly my cousin

c00ndace and Tucker do a million plus views on youtube for each video. These are huge numbers and you better believe their audience is not made up of all far right ghouls.


That's what happens when the MSM on both sides lies to the people about things that we can all cleary see with our own two eyes.

Israel is probably going to cost the GOP the 26 and 28 elections just like it cost the Dems the 24 election and both parties will continue licking it's boots.

Groveling and capitulation is my first and only concern, if someone wanted to debate a white supremacist and son him in his arguments I have zero issue with that. When you completely disregard your stances and agree with the host is my issue.

Im going to give you my opinion below on this


I see zero difference between David Duke and someone like Joe Rogan, Benny Johnson, Steve Bannon, Ben Shapiro, etc. So if the standard is that Democrats shouldn’t speak to these people at all, then I’m okay with that, we should state that going forward instead of picking and choosing when to be concerned. They’re all white supremacists in my eyes, including 90% of Fox News hosts, 90% of zionist host( majority of cnn host). If this type of purity politics is the goal let's go for it , dems won't have many avenues at all to flip votes or get their message out

Legitimacy isn't only created by someone agreeing. Your position is narrow and dangerous in our media environment. Getting the best of someone in a vanity debate might be emotionally satisfying, but it doesn't mean anything. You just helped cross-promote their platform. Anyway, that's not the point of contention here. We are specifically talking about friendly appearances on a racist, white nationalist podcast by a long-time fan. And why appearing on there like it's a neutral space only helps normalize it.

I don't know why you're talking about "picking and choosing," because I've been consistent in rejecting this strategy, whether it's Rogan or Fox news. You can look up my post about Newsom wrt Kirk and Shapiro, too. I think that whole "go into hostile spaces and win them over" strategy is mostly a fantasy in today's media environment, but there is an important distinction to be made here between Duke and the other people you named. The ones you named help mainstream reactionary and racist ideas, sanitizes them, and spreads them to a large audience. Society benefits them unfairly by letting them act with an air of deniability. They shouldn't. But Duke is an open, explicit white supremacist with no deniability. That's a different category.

Outreach matters. But so does judgment.

Literally every elementary and middle school is a polling place here in San Antonio.

we had special election for a sales tax going on. Early voting ended on Friday. During our early voting period you can go anywhere in the city to vote. But, during the actual election day you can only vote in your specific polling place. Which tell me why I have to drive past a polling place right by my crib to another one that is like a mile away? Because apparently that is my specific polling place.

I generally dont understand why Crockett ran, it was talarico to win once people like Joe Rogan started pushing him.


This nikka wrong every election

With a third of vote in, Talarico only has a small lead - it's going to be a very close race.
