2026 Midterm Elections Thread

[Wargames]

Im not fan of TCM, but your perspectives overlap more than you might think. When he talks about people not believing that Dems might actually tax billionaires to make the lives of ordinary people better, that rhymes with something you might say. Dems clearly have a credibility problem with the general public, which goes in to how an obvious con man could beat us in twice.

And if Dems want to be taken seriously as the party who wants to expand benefits, we also need to get serious about targeting benefit fraud. More Dems need to be outspoken against the fraud in Minnesota, that's money that could have legitimately go to people in need.

Do I hold TCM in high regard? I think the answer to anyone who reads my posts is obvious. But do I think he has some legitimate critiques about the Dem Party? Yes. And we need to be taking the (serious) critiques seriously.

No the Dems need to show people the fraud going on in real time. This idea that Minnesota is some Massive fraud story is republican bullshyt that is distracting people from the massive fraud happening right now.

I am not saying you shouldn't discuss this because it's a legitimate news story. On a macro level its embarrassing that so many people are falling for this shyt again. We went through DOGE we seen that the republicans are corrupt and can't govern. The democrats need to continue to focus on that. If anything this news story hitting is because congress isn't in session so Trump can just say and do stuff and his version of reality is unopposed.

Perfect example of why I can’t stand that bushed Indian. Crime has fallen across the country since the initial post-quarantine surge. The decline is a return to the norm, as besides that covid blip it’s been falling for about a decade. But it doesn’t matter because there’s always a heinous crime to report on Fox News or twitter and that sets perceptions. You can implement every police program or reform that the pundit class wants and nobody will acknowledge that your city is getting safer.

Trump lobs Baltimore alongside every other major city when discussing crime because it has a black mayor and black residents. And we got black posters on the forum co-signing obvious racist nonsense because [insert right wing talking point] lmao.

Well thankfully no one will fall for it because they put their economic distress above all else….

We got to move away from Twitter. There was an article that he was cool with Trump again and now we see that he can steer the conversation to bullshyt. Even if this fukking site won't update to bluesky, ya’ll need to download the app

Honestly it should have been done a decade ago or more once they went public, bluesky should be the alternative but unfortunately you'd need everyone across the spectrum to go there including entertainers. I hate using it but its the only place currently that still has some good news information, we need bluesky to not be the lefts truth social and instead what the old twitter used to be. Even before Elon purchased when was the last time something local like trended ? Its been controlled for a while now I'd argue since 2017ish. Now it's even worse with a right wing billionaire controlling the algorithm. He has created and propped up fake journalists and accounts that have zero ethics
