"Nobody in the GOP is "excited about going door to door and doing voter engagement," Bannon argued, adding that "the old way of putting a couple hundred million dollars in and buying TV ads on Fox and CNN doesn't work anymore."

"That's old school. Does not work. There's been a new day, and the Senate's got to understand that, or we're going to lose the Senate," added Bannon, who has repeatedly called for Trump to serve an unconstitutional third term.

In a later segment, Bannon again criticized poor voter outreach of Republicans, who could face a tough time at the ballot box amid backlash to the Trump administration, and warned:

"You're going to lose the Senate. And right now, it looks like you want to lose the Senate."

He's whining about Sen Republicans opposing DJT on the ballroom and a couple of other margin issues... as if only DJT would just conjure his Inner Hitler more, everything would be OK.

imo, it is way too soon to tell.

The results of the 2026 election will depend upon one thing, and one thing only ...

Voter turnout.

Will Democrats be able to convince voters that their votes matter in the district where Republican attempts have been to effectively cancel those votes?


Blue wave vs. Red Seawall.


I'd proffer, that is an appropriate distillation.

Gerrymandering does not matter in the Senate.

If both the House and Senate flip next November, we have to get rid of Trump by the next February for the good of the nation and the world.

No one will miss him. You might have people who lie about missing him, but no one will miss him.

Why can't they figure out that Nazis were never Socialists?

"First they (the Nazis) came for the Socialists..."

This Cult wouldn't be so popular if people weren't so ignorant.

Because the conservative world view is rooted in fear.

Why are they fearful? Because they are -------- who treat other people like ----.

Because they worry someday they might get treated the same way they treat women, minorities, immigrants, -------, -------, slopes, Hajis, and children who were raped by Trump.

There's only one party that because the cult of a con man and attempted a coup instead of conceding an election. It's logical to assume the worst about them.

Steven bannon is revealed to have spent time helping Epstein try and save his image AFTER HE WAS A SEX OFFENDER.

Yet steve bannon is still right wing leader that many listen to.

I am old enough to remember when the wing dingers used to hysterically scream that Obama was building massive concentration camps throughout the US to lock up conservatives.

And now here we are.

If morons like you had voted against trump your gas would be a lot cheaper right now, and you'd have a lot less poison in your food, air, and water in the future.

But to morons like you, that doesn't matter.

Voting is a graft allocation operation.

Dems promise to cut in dem voters, Reps promise to cut in rep voters.

Pretty simple, really.
It was working fine until somebody couldn't wait their turn.

So why should I vote, in this arrangement?
Either way, the winners are going to take from me, either by higher taxes or higher prices.
My advantage is not taking to heart any of the divisive rhetoric, not lapping up whatever my owners put in the bowl.
I can only shift investments per climate, and try to gain in any case, and

Dem leaders help all citizens. Biden's job's bill in particular made sure to send tons of jobs to red states.
Trump on the other hand tries to punish any state that didn't vote for him.

Any guesses who that "somebody" was, who couldn't wait his or her turn?

Also, it's funny that you used the "their" pronoun.

By your calculus:
The only ones who aren't losers. are the ones who go into politics.

So.
Why'd you choose to be on the losing team?

I mostly hear them cursing and threatening those citizens, and scheming how to tax them harder.

That's because you consume fascist propaganda.

In reality dems passed obamacare which brought healthcare to millions of trailer park dwelling republicans.

"Consider one fact," the president said. "The historic investments we made went to more red states than blue states. Not a politically smart thing to do, and I knew what I was doing. I knew people would be angry. Will the next president really stop an electric battery facility in Liberty, North Carolina? Will he shut down a new solar factory being built in Cartersville, Georgia?"

President Biden is clearly hoping that the prospect of economic benefits in "red" districts will outweigh the political gains of rolling back key aspects of his agenda. "

You fucks are so stupid you voted to lose good jobs and pay more for gas.

"historic investments" in this context means "graft theft of taxes for my friends"
