and shave down their Senate majority by two or three seats.
That's not a wipeout then.
Not alarmed enough to actually enact policies that are popular with the majority of the people.
That's one thing you DON'T have to worry about them learning here.
I would like BOTH parties to go extinct. The Democratic leadership has no spine and waffles at best, the Republicans are evil by default.
Replacing the Dems' leadership might actually help. The Republican Party, though, is rotten to the core.
lol “one party could do better while the other will murder every man woman and child in sight, they’re both the same!!”
Not at all what they said. What they said was one party is right wing light, the other is fascist, and due to that we need entirely new parties.
Try gaslighting somewhere else.
That’s literally not what they said but okay.
Gaslighting some more? Damn you're stupider than MAGA.
That's literally what they said, pedo protector.
Your tag is now: Pedo Protecting Gaslighter
Projection much?
Are you now announcing your tactics, Pokemon style?
They’re both owned by Israel. Nothing is going to change until we end the Israeli occupation of our government
The US system is so horrendously and completely biased towards the GOP, I don't think polls mean much. Most of the country can not want a Republican and they'll still be "fairly" elected.
I know we're talking about midterms, but this is especially true of the Electoral College, where states with lower populations end up with higher representation per capita. Empty land doesn't vote, but it does change elections in favor of the GOP.
A Republican I spoke to was fully convinced that living in a state with more land per capita should make each person's vote worth more, while those living in a densely populated state should expect their votes to be worth less. He thought it was perfectly reasonable for someone moving from California to Wyoming to have the value of their vote increase by almost 4x. He balked when asked if the value of a Wyoming vote should decrease by 75% when the voter moved to California.
I can only imagine the impassioned whining if the situation were reversed and biased for liberals.

There is no way you can lay off 300,000+ federal workers, shut the entire federal government down for 40 days, dramatically increase prices by imposing tariffs, shut down food and other exports by pissing off the buying countries, and allow huge increases in heathcare insurance premiums without causing a recession or worse. Trump and his ilk know it too which is why any economic data they do release will be altered by Trump loyalists, facts be damned.
I want to believe, but he won in 2024 after increasing the US debt 25%, having excess death of Covid of 1MM and basin his whole agenda on dunking on the poor, where most of us are still. Morons voted him in.
Even Maga notice it when food prices go way up, when they lose health insurance, and when they lose their jobs. We'll eventually reach a tipping point where the sadistic pleasure Maga morons gets from hurting others isn't worth the pain they're experiencing themselves. I hope its soon.
They believe the other option would have resulted in even worse outcome. As long as they can imagine it being worse, they can believe voting for their (misguided, but not as much as the other) team is the right thing to do.
The silver lining is that if their team is less inspirational, some voters will become discouraged and stay home instead of voting.
They will blame it on Democrats because that's what their media bubble tells them to do.
I have been hammering my MAGA parents with articles that I know they could never defend in a face to face discussion so that they cannot say they didn't know, and they know exactly why all of this happened.
Still not exactly optimistic that it'll work.
They are so addicted to their right-wing echo chamber media that they will never know that Orange Jesus is fully responsible for any of the direct pain they will experience. All they will hear is that somehow it's all Joe Biden and Barack HUSSEINs fault that they can't afford to stuff their faces.
Democratic donors be like: "we can run anyone and they can't say no!"
That's why we NEED progressives in the primaries. The real battles will be in that race. If establishment Democrats keep control, Republicans will sweep again from 2028 or 2032; just like what happened after Trump's first term.
I hate that we have fight the Democrats to keep the Democrats alive, but we do.
A ‘wipeout’, they would still control two of three, but it’s going to be disastrous!
We need more than ‘shave down their lead’
Guillotine for president 2026!
Who will protect the pedophiles if they lose? I mean, the democrats won’t actually do anything. But the GOP won’t have the power to protect them.
The last time Republicans played with tariffs, it took them about a decade to regain power and about three decades to regain the initiative in the debate. Unless they break democracy and invalidate the results somehow, I think that's where we're headed.
Not if Schumer and Jeffries have anything to say about it...
All I have to say to them is:
G-G-G-G-GET FUCKED-ucked-ucked-ucked-ucked-ucked
G-GE-GET-GET F-GET FU-GET FUC-GET FUCK-GET FUCKE-GET FUCKED-ET FUCKED-T FUCKED-UCKED-CKED-KED-ED-D
I'm not hoping for it .... America has a habit of being dumb as a brick and electing people that eat crayons.
After a certain point, gerrymanders are counterpruductive. It'll be nice if the other electoral fuckery such as voter-roll purges and voter suppression aren't enough to stop it. But I'm not optimistic.
Democrats better not mess this up and we do mean it this time. Prison for every single traitor, pedofile and seditious oligarch. Musk and Thiel better be first in line. We want their assets frozen and used to repair the damage to our democracy. The Supreme Court better get cleaned up with impeachments. This is their last chance before guillotine second amendment time. Also anyone who takes money from Israel should now be declared an enemy combatant
Democrats better not mess this up and we do mean it this time.
Is that a joke? Of course they'll fuck it up.
Well then it’s guillotine time I guess.
You still had any hope? lmao
You are cattle to the billionaires, regardless of what color they wear.

No worries there are only establishment Democrats and the "progressives" are actively working against the "vote them out" mantra adopted after the last elections.
After so much crying wolf, you've got to be super stupid to believe anything Republicans say for 2026. They should have zero credibility for supporting the Liar in Chief. Of course, there's still a lot of weak marks ready to be conned again. Wise up, American voters!
They're going to lose their majority in the house months before the midterms even happen
