#1 WTF are you posting a picture of President Biden?

"Any non-AIPAC candidate for POTUS in 2028 would be so refreshing."

Yeah?!?!

Unicorns and lollipops and clouds made of cotton candy might be so refreshing, too.

But intelligent people deal with the cards in their hand, not some imaginary nirvana.

"AOC has the most name recognition and social followers."

AOC is a phenomenal person, a gifted politician, and clearly the voice and face of the future of the Democratic Party.

That said, however, and with a clear vision to what happened to the Democratic Party nominees in 2016 and 2024 ...

... AOC at the top of the Democratic Party ticket in 2028 would make the Republican blowouts in 1972 and 1984 seem like nail-biters in comparison. 'Tis a Republican political hack's wet dream.

Want to see AOC ascend to the top?

Then do all the hard and difficult work of bringing in new voters, educating them, imbue them with a sense of community, working towards electing Democrats.

But damning candidates running in the only viable alternative to the Republican Party in America in 2026 and 2028 - for not being pure - is political suicide.

Never fear the next generation; at one time we were all the next generation

#7 Good to see you, ExpectingReign.

#7 On January 26th of this year, I posted a ** HAPPY BIRTHDAY DETHSPUD ** thread, which received many, many good comments.

"Be well," was a common comment.

But, alas, I do not believe that Dethspud hangs around here anymore.

He was good people, ExpectingReign.

#12 JPW states the truth when he says, "While it may concern many voters, this is not driving the lack of turnout like you believe."

Thank you.

#14 Clown, I think it is working out just fine for Democratic Party candidates, 2025 and 2026 ...

-> Georgia voters ousted two Republican members of the state's Public Service Commission in favor of two Democrats - the first Democrats to win statewide nonfederal offices in decades.

-> Democrats in Mississippi Break the G.O.P.'s State House Supermajority

-> Every single county in Virginia - even deeply red counties - saw shifts TOWARDS the Democrats, as opposed to how they voted 1 year ago.

-> Dems flip Wichita School Board from a 4-3 GOP majority to a 5-2 Democratic majority. Democratic candidates Amy Warren and Amy Jensen defeated Republican incumbents Hazel Stabler and Kathy Bond.

-> Two of Tuesday's school board elections were in Bucks County, Pa., which was considered "ground zero" for right-wing groups' takeover of school boards in 2021. A few years ago, conservatives on these boards in Pennbridge and Central Bucks districts were using their roles to pass policies targeting LGBTQ+ students and banning books.

---> Democrats flipped control of both boards in 2023, and on Tuesday, they ousted every Republican from both of these boards, except for one. The Pennbridge school board is now 8-1, with Democratic members in control. The Central Bucks school board is 9-0.

-> In Texas, we even won in Lockhart, which sits in a district so red that Democrats normally don't even run. We had a clean sweep in Cy-Fair ISD, another deeply red area that not even Greg Abbott could save your party.

-> In SD-9, another red district, we saw an 8 point shift for the Democrat

-> Eileen Higgins elected as first Democratic mayor of Miami in three decades

#17 Clown, just what "bubble" do you think JPW is trying to convince himself of?

Are you really trying to say that?

If the Israeli/Hamas war is a deciding issue for Democratic Party voters, then certainly you can back that up with some data.

Right?

Or are you really trying to claim that domestic issues directly affecting voters is not the primary driver of voting habits here in the USA?

Really?

#24 Clown says, apparently, with a straight face, "Republicans love that the DNC is currently divided by this issue."

Where's the division, Clown?

#24 Clown states, without a shred of evidence, "There's the pro Israel, corporate owned democrats and democrats who put the needs of Americans first. This isn't even a hypothetical. It's a fact."

Since it is a "fact", please list ten (10) Democrats who are pro Israel and corporate owned:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

Now, please list ten (10) Democrats who are NOT pro Israel and corporate owned:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

Thank you.

#28 I figured you couldn't/wouldn't answer where this "division" exists in the Democratic Party.

#29 Clown, just say you can't/won't.

That'll do.

And that'll answer my question.

#29 So, do tell us, Clown:

Is this your idea of helping Democrats defeat Republicans:

#33 Clown sadly posts the truth" "It's unfortunate so many Americans have given up their right to think and have been cowed into voting for a candidate completely based on party identification."

Yeah, that is unfortunate.

But it is also reality.

Who do you want running the federal government: Democrats or Republicans?

US midterm elections are scheduled for Tuesday 3 Nov 2026.

What are you doing to help defeat Trumpf, MAGA and the GOP?

Me?

I am pushing for a Democratic Party massive victory in November. Start putting some guardrails around Trumpf, MAGA and the GOP.

Why aren't you?

His grandfather and great-uncle weep ...

"His father comes from an Orthodox Jewish family of Ashkenazi Jewish descent from Ukraine, and his mother is a Catholic of Irish, French, Scottish, and English descent. He was raised Catholic, but his mother would also "incorporate Hanukkah" in the family's holiday celebrations."

#43 A most excellent article, Corky.

Thank you for posting it.

#47 Why, yes I do.

And I also want this: The only way that Congress will be able to pass those (much needed/much deserved) tax increases on the uber-wealthy is if the next Democratic president will have at his/her back a Congress that has absolute Congressional power

Absolute Congressional power in Washington DC = an absolute majority in the US Congress:

• An overwhelming majority in the US House (more than a sliver) = the larger the Democratic victory in US House elections, the more power they have as proven by the vote of the American people (Gerrymandering be dammed). Once there are 290 Democrats, any Trump veto can be overwritten;


• An overwhelming majority in the US Senate = the closer to 60 votes ensures that all Democratic-inspired legislation withstands any rightwing/GOP filibuster; the number 67 or greater ensures that both any presidential veto can be overwritten and any impeachment from the US House has a chance for conviction

That's what I am doing to help defeat MAGAism.

#49 Clown asks, "I'm not a single issue voter."

Sure you are, Clown.

Your single issue is imperfect Democrats, and how you're bound and determine to facilitate dissent amongst the ranks by stupidly and with malice insisting that Democrats are divided over this issue or that issue.

Instead of focusing on the real task at hand: Defeating Trump, MAGA and the GOP.

And no campaign was successful when the ranks were divided.

So why are you so damned insistent on crippling Democratic Party candidates before the election?

Is it because you really prefer their Republican opponents?

#49 The reality is. Americans do.

They do?

Then why is the only political party capable of actually delivering childcare, senior care, healthcare, education, mental healthcare, unemployment assistance ...

... is in the minority in the US House and the US Senate?

If that's what Americans want.

Because if those were the only issues debated, then you might have a point.

But do regale us with why Kamala Harris won in 2024.

Because while she may have been a terrible campaigner, when she did campaign it was on the promise to help Americans... including delivering childcare, senior care, healthcare, education, mental healthcare, unemployment assistance.

Clown, please do yourself a favor and stop looking at the world through a child's eyes and see the dog-eat-dog, zero-sum game that is American politics, and get with the plan to stop Trump, MAGA and the GOP:

By electing Democrats.

#52 I do no believe there was any such vote, Danforth.

Some of the confusion may be around securing the final vote of Justin Amash to secure passage of Obamacare.

#54 Just what was in place that Obamacare replaced?

You cannot replace that which was never placed in the first place.

"...wasn't it called "Naional Health Care" or something like that?"

Why, no it wasn't.

"...wasn't it called "Naional Health Care" or something like that?"

Do you believe that North Korea is a democracy and a republic?

After all, it is right there in their name: Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

Right?

#61 And you're just now figuring that out now, Clown?

That's what Democrats everywhere are fighting.

Not sure why you would want to add to that hate and ignorance by helping to elect Republicans, Clown.

Doesn't make any sense.

#63 Flag:

#66 WTF is that supposed to mean?

#66 You keep making up what people supposedly "want," then slam Democrats for not addressing your imaginary problem.

You have never provided any proof of what people supposedly want ... other than your feelings.

That works to suppress voter turnout, to the benefit of Republicans.

Why is that, Clown?
