American politics

He is one of hundreds, he'll learn but as other threads suggest, they will need to find balance. Everyone needs to leave the idiots alone now to hang themselves, stop the rage bsaiting, get a strong, charismatic leader and 'politic' to right the economic mess they find themselves in. Solve cost of living, act on the Epstein files and ask the drag queens to chill for a while. I lost an old friend to that cult and it is truly a disease. Utterly no reasoning with them.

Right.
But you know the game, and the game won't die off that easily. Aggregators and agitators will do everything they can to aggravate the pendulum swing and coax a counter-swing now. Already there's much talk of 'needing to go hard right now' when the truth most certainly is to navigate these next two years which will be a continual battle of stalemate that leaves Dems vulnerable to public wrath because the public just don't understand the way the wheels move on this machine. So important to keep the pressure quietly on but continually remind people why we are why we are and repeatedly show them exactly what Republicans have done and not done to perpetuate this mess.

The cult you're speaking of are, indeed, what they are. It is the floating average voter who is struggling that will need to be convinced. Regarding the Epstein files, well, let's hope, but alas I think that one bleeds across many 'privileged' lines of fukkkery and filth :-(

Fascinating. Albeit as expected.

In the Newrepub podcast, they were saying that dems nearly (but not quite) drew to parity with republicans for the white voter demographic. 48% dem to 51% gop. That was a huge 12-point swing.

The big one though, was Texas going blue across the board. Dems were hoping for Talarico to sneak the Senate seat (he won comfortably) but they won everything else also, including the governorship. Texas is the ballgame for any future Dem presidential candidate. It they win there there is no real path to victory for a GOP presidential candidate.

DeSantis has called it a near-extinction level event for the Republicans. They won’t be able to turn it around before 2028.

I think these two years are of vital importance. It's like being through on goal, 35 yards out and the keeper just pulled a hamstring leaving their line. It seems like the job is done, but the job still has to be done...

Outside of the box thinking. But how do you think the is would be recieved?

Ro Khanna & Thomas Massie run in their individual primaries. With the commitment that the other will be on the ticket with them as VP. Should they face one another for the Presidency, that commitment is still there.

Definitely won't turn it around in 2 years. The 2028 election will favour the Dems anyway because of the particular seats up for grabs, but any GOP presidential candidate will now be saddled with a rotting orange albatross hanging around their neck.

One other interesting sidebar is that the dems now control enough state houses to cross the threshold on the national popular vote interstate compact, so the popular vote winner would be president. Not sure if they'll do that, but they should.
