2026 Midterm Elections Thread

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

were obama's policies that bad in 2010?

i'd use biden in 22 as an example, but he got bailed out by abortion

2010 economy was sluggish but it think Dems held and 2022 inflation reached its peak. But yes their leadership was seen as a negative. This is why they lost seats.

im not denying that texas republicans look scummy and desperate, but fleeing to illinois to protest gerrymandering was like smoking to fight cancer. dems just dont have much recourse here

…that has nothing to do with my point.

and they could always stop CHOOSING to crash out over unpopular, 80/20 issues, which is what that dikkhead whitlock is referring to

You crash out more on trans issues. In terms of other issues the Dems rally against the country generally agrees with their position. But in some cases, especially immigration, the man responsible for reducing the number of border crossings to its lowest level has a negative approval on this issue.

This could have an impact on the Virginia Govenors race. Republicans in the state are blowing it up, and even got Trump's Dept of Education involved, threatening to cut funding to Northen Virginia schools.

For those of you too impatient to read, 2 boys were suspended from Loudon County public schools due to them reporting discomfort with a transgender male (a biological female wanting to be a male) being in their locker room while changing.

Winsome Earle-Sears already had a press conference about it and trying to use it as momentum to catch up in polling. If I was Spanberger I'd be pissed.

Of course there is more to the story they the public knows, it's the optics that are bad, and Republicans will use that to say Democrats are once again putting transgenders over all other kids.

I can point out that this happened under Republican govenor Youngkin, but still, the headline is the liberal elites in Northen VA are punishing students due to being uncomfortable with undressing in front of the opposite sex.

What exactly are dem's crashing out over? You keep saying this stupid shyt but dems don't actually stand for anything which is the actual issue of why they're hated by their own voters.

Virginia has mostly became a blue state. This won’t be on most voters minds come next year.

I’m not worried.

Like it or not, then transgender issue is one of if not the biggest criticism of the Democrat party. Youngkin got elected Governor of Virginia over the parents rights issue. One of the stories that propelled him to the office of Governor was the alleged incident of a transgender girl (biological boy) sexually assaulting a female student in a girls bathroom in early 2021. Where did it happen? In Loudon County, same school district. Then candidate Youngkin used the story to paint the picture that Democrats are for transgenders in the private spaces of female students, and not giving parents a say in it. And guess what, it worked.

If it worked then, how can it be irrelevant? If Virginia public schools are losing federal funding over it, how is it an irrelevant issue?Trump himself says the transgender issue is his ace in the hole when it comes to election time. Republicans are preparing to prop up the same issue again, on which most Democrat voters agree with Republicans.

FYI the Governor's election in Virginia is this November (11/5/2025). Im sure Republicans will do their best to keep it in the headlines until then.

Every political party has its issues; it's just that not all of them are major on the grand scale. In fact, I'd argue that if your party doesn't take a stance that some voters dislike, then you're probably not standing for anything meaningful. Republicans, for example, have consistently campaigned on unpopular positions—one being their decade-long crusade against anything labeled "CRT," "woke," or broadly anti-Black. Do they care that it's controversial? Not at all. It's what a small segrment of their voters want.

Again, the transgender issue is something that Democrat voters agree with Republican voters. Those other issues you mentioned while Democrat voters are against Republican criticisms, the Republican voters agree with the Republican party. Democrat voters don't agree that transgender women are women too. Republicans paint the picture that the Democrat party are prioritizing transgenders over women and children, that's a turnoff for a lot of Democrat voters, who will opt to sit out elections, as you very well know. That's exactly how Youngkkn got elected Governor of Virginia in 2021.

Problem is you want the Democrat party to do/say what is always right. Republicans are going to do what it takes to win. If that means making false promises, outright lying, slandering/demonizing groups of people, exasperating trivial/minor stories, manufacturing scandals, bribing, paying off podcasters, etc., they will do it. To them, the ends (winning) justifies the means. And it is working.

PS, its funny how you quote my first sentence while ignoring all my other facts.

Correct that has been the democrat platform of the last 70 years, take the rightful while unpopular position and politicize it for the greater good. Not just say whatever out takes to win elections while throwing marginalized communities under the bus like republicans are doing with blacks transgender, Hispanics etc . In fact, the opposite is the republican position which is why democrat voters are additionally mad at democrats over them supporting a genocide. We established decades ago through precedence that the democrat party should be the rightful party whom stands for something and is against genocides.

We haven't even gotten into the false promise of BBB which is a long lasting stain

The timing is wild considering that we're just a few months away from the VA election.

Also notice that this is Loudon County, the same county that Youngkin honed in on in terms of CRT.

So two things, either this is BS just to give Repubs. a boost or Loudon County has issues.

Not to mention for the umptenth time, alot of government workers who were laid off by Trump and DOGE live in NoVA and read my last post.

Also Loundon County has a number of red folks (repubs.)

I'll take it @FAH1223 a middle age white man in main that did military tours and fishes . He's running similar to Osborn

He was on majority report today, said he jumped in because he was afraid the dc establishment would run another weak candidate like Sara Gideon helping Collins win
