you need to learn from the republicans. Nuance doesn’t work. You have to go over the top to get the media to properly move a step in and still frame it for what it is. Biden doesn’t need to say it. Some lower rung democrats need to start saying NAZIS and fascism far more often and it should be said a lot right now.
This is a high school-level take on institutional controls on majority rule. Checks and balances does not mean that the party that has won one popular vote in the last 28 years (none in the last 16) gets to dominate the agenda.
The senate is profoundly anti-democratic. Its existence is the opposite of a fundamental tenet of democracy. Democracy isn’t tying the hands of the Democratic Party that regularly gets more votes than republicans in presidential, congressional and senate elections. Our anti-democratic system of government is what cripples progress in America.
Now that is clear that he's losing, there's going to be so many fewer "No, I havent had a chance to see it yet" responses.
That's great and all but they only watch a channel that allowed people to go on national television and call for violence and undermining our democratic systems last night
So the PA vote estimate just dropped from 271k to 207k. No good news, but Joe is still in good shape.
I mean its ridiculously stupid. What's more likely? The idea that a Trump following GOP in Georgia replicates that without him or Stacey gathers the troops together for another run after turning Georgia blue?
Stacy Abrams should be given Time’s person of the year. Especially given trump’s fixation on it. Could make his head explode. But that would be secondary. She deserves it.
If you watch Graham/Cruz on Fox last night, it's horrifying how authoritarian their goals are. And 70m ppl voted for that. They're undercutting the most basic institution of our country - free and fair elections. You have to have the discussion that these ppl exist.
Honestly I was just considering that if the democrats find evidence of illegal actions by the republicans during the elections, they will, they should force his own party to hold them accountable or just hammer home how much they do not respect the American citizens right to vote.
It’s widely reported there are 160k votes and it’s likely Joe takes the’m 120-40 and leads by 55,000. Anyone using a 200k+ number hasn’t paid attention for 10 hours.
People are fucking stubborn, every time a democrat is in office it's all stability and prosperity, every time a republican "fiscal conservative" gets in office, they engage in crony capitalism and get their buddies rich while undermining the economy until it blows up in the working class's face Democrats have to start controlling the narrative.
One potential bright spot if dems don't take the senate, there would be no reason not to prosecute trump and his administration. If McConnell is going to leave all legislation to die on his desk might as well be aggressive in investigating the prior administration.
Well, look at that, a senator unwilling to light his own career on fire to defend a guy that wouldn't offer a glass of water if the senator was dying of thirst.
For sure. But that's not exactly an easy sell to someone who's been out of work and then all the sudden isn't. I think Dem's just way over index on policy explanations as a whole, and then a subset of Dem's default to the worst assumptions about people when those explanations don't take (clearly they must be racist, vs maybe they feel like their hierarchy of needs aren't being met and that's their number one priority right now) You see it in exit polls, you hear it in conversations and you see it in the final numbers of two presidentials now. It's looking like Trump may have scored the highest percentage of minority vote for the GOP in a long time (which isn't saying much, but the trend line ought to be recognized). I've heard from friends on the left explain it as "yea, well, minorities can be racist too!" and at some point... Maybe just have some humility and pause for a bit to listen more.
The media will ask kamala if she’s a socialist but not frame what Cruz/graham are doing as Nazi level fascism. Why? Because the media are spineless and won’t call it that unless some democrats will. Time to call it that. Hopefully we see someone use that wordage once Biden takes the lead in Pennsylvania and they are still kicking and screaming
I'll be interested to see if this is an aberration or not, I tend to think they go taken in by a cult leader
Seeing how EVERYTHING is a projection with Trump, and that we had an even bigger polling error even after weighting better for non-educated whites, how likely is it that the GOP and Trump conducted widespread voter fraud?
Abrams deserves a cabinet position, but she’s so valuable on the ground, her ability turnout voters is unreal. We stan for the queen.
