The Captain @thoreau.bsky.social · 12/08/2026When judging how much of a shot we have in the midterms this is the kind of ACTUAL RESULTS DATA that should give you much hope. GOP turnout is waaaaaayyyy below Dem turnout. And this is happening everywhere. Even in Texas!! 1141
Admiral Janneke @pirateophelia.com · 12/08/2026But it's this kind of optimism that got us into trouble: some assumed that Dems would win because of polling, so they didn't vote and Dems lost. We need to stay mad. We need that to push out the rich old guys who want us to suffer. Not to be the anti-Yoda, but find strength in your anger. 110
The Captain @thoreau.bsky.social · 12/08/2026i think we need a mixture of hope/optimism and anger/fear. they are all helpful in defeating fascism in different ways. if you lose hope, you give yup. if you lose anger, you lose motivation. All are needed! 100
