    Hopefully Dems gain more Senate seats than that. Get a proper majority.

    Regardless, this is good.

  2. Im still unsure whats going to happen with the Michigan Senate race…so far Mike Rogers (Republican) usually has a 2-4 point lead in polling above Stevens and Mcmorrow

    Logic from what we’ve seen this last year would imply the dem candidate (as long as its a good one) should well over perform Harris and Slotkin which would be more than enough, but my gut cant shake the feeling our Senate race could end up an outlier…it definitely deserves toss up status

    Ill probably vote in the dem primary for the first time ever because God…Stevens is so bad I really feel our best shot is Mcmorrow

  3. lol doubt. As long as it’s profitable for social media to prey on people’s fears, you’re going to have an exceptionally more difficult time when it was just FOX.

    Susan Collins can finally be relegated to the halls of former useful idiots like RBG and Merrick Garland, going somewhere (anywhere else) where they can’t hurt the American people anymore.

  5. The country is broken. Nobody is flipping any seats. People need to start coming to terms with reality.

  6. i’m from Maine and I can tell you right now. Susan Collins is toast. She’s not liked on either side.

  7. Are people reading the article or just the headline. After reading this it seems very unlikely the Dema are going to surge in the Senate. Unfortunately.

    Even Kentucky could be competitive. Democrats now have the opportunity to turn the post birth abortion argument from Republicans on its axis—similar to Sister Souljah. Democrats can say that Trump watched Epstein commit a post birth abortion. 

  9. Hopefully we start to get on board with the messaging? I don’t know, It just seems too quiet with all the terrible from Dems with all the terrible stuff going on. And no I’m not talking about the very few people that are saying the right things loudly.

  10. Remember this won’t happen if you stay home.

    Confirm that you are registered to vote and that your information is correct.

    Do it now, most states have an online system for it.

    Make sure you’re free that day to vote. Take the day off, take a half day, tell the boss you’ve got some civic duty to get to and you’ll get to work when you get there.

    Arrange transportation if you don’t have it.

    Vote.

    If they are actually democrat, and not some plant that will vote with Republicans all the time, and then switch parties.

    I don’t trust that at all. 
    I think they want to sabotage the Democrats much like how Manchin and “look at me” Sinema

    Does this article account for Proud Boys and ICE agents barring people of color from entering polling stations? Or for the voting machine tampering?

  14. Let’s say the Dems win the house and the senate.
    Do any of us have confidence that they’ll bring criminal charges against the president or other politicians who have hijacked our system of governance to commit countless crimes? Or will they let bygones be bygones and maintain the status quo?

  15. Typical. Damage is done by GOP and Dems clean it up. And get bitched at the entire time while fixing it, because they aren’t doing it faster. Fuck Republicans

  16. If Mary Peltola enters the Alaska race, I think that one is more likely to flip than Texas.

  17. What’s crazy is that there’s people still thinking Republicans have good policy. If 1.25 Trump terms weren’t enough proof; I don’t know what they need

  18. -CoachMcGuirk- on

    Is there a chance the voting machines could be hacked again to give the republicans wins?

    Do you think Trump would give up power at this point? He won’t until he croaks. He rigged this last election to keep himself out of prison this time. If there’s even a whiff of the senate or house overturning, it was rigged, we’re on lockdown, and no one gets sworn in. He’s already established it’s normal to not swear people in. He’s not letting himself get impeached and arrested for trafficking and fucking children.

    Anybody who is reading this comment. After every terrible anti constitutional thing Trump’s done up to this point. Do you really think we’re going to have midterms in 2026? Actual midterms? Because I think everybody is naive. Everyone’s waiting for the house or senate to flip but Trumps definitely planning alternative strategies. This isn’t America anymore. There’s no real justice system. Court orders are suggestions since we didn’t arm the judicial system with enforcing power. There are no checks and balances to save us. Effort to get rid of this man has to happen before the midterms. The midterms cannot be relied upon for positive change!

  20. He’s going to do everything possible to make sure there aren’t any midterms. Why aren’t ppl talking about that. Besides, no red state is going to certify the midterm results…
