I always have mixed feelings about these images. Yes, it's inspiring to see these college students committed to democracy, but the fact that they have to do anything remotely difficult to exercise their voting rights is enraging. Taking part in a democracy should be as easy as possible.

The GOP picked this outcome. These are now major structural issues and will take a very very long time to recover. Talent is gone. Big bundlers and fundraisers(Cornyn) are gone. They have a coalition that isn’t high propensity which baseline hurts in off cycle races

Seems one of the biggest problems the GOP has (besides its leadership, record, base, morals, values and declining influence) is finding new leaders who are not absolute shit weasels. Which rules out essentially every senior GOP official or advisor currently on the scene.

There's a Politico (lol) piece entirely about how Republicans' hope right now is that the polls are all way off and they only get a MILD wipeout and first of all it's full of a bunch of nonsense but the best part is how it ends on this incredible bit:

"The strategist also noted that the polling right now reflects a change in the electorate as profound as those seen after Watergate and 9/11.

“It would be so historically unprecedented you’d have to presuppose we’re staring down the barrel of a generational national trauma that no one is aware of,” the strategist said."

My old Congressman used to say everyone wants more benefits and fewer taxes, but I think it’s deeper than that: millions of people want the benefits of living in society with none of the social obligations.

Phew, do I agree with this entire thread. The way to battle disinformation and wrest back truth in discourse is not to promote your own disinfo or allow lies to fester. Having a false sense of reality isn't going to do our side any favors - it'll just make you feel comfortable when you shouldn't.

It can't be over-emphasized how much <gestures> all this is a result of a set of easily avoidable own goals by Trump and his people. We should remember this when we start to feel panicky about various schemes for holding onto power. Trump isn't all-powerful. He's actually pretty inept.

My favorite part in all this is even the articles of serious R dooming all on background still will not face reality. This MOC says they're DOA and could lose as many as *10 seats* and, like, sir, if you really believe that, you are setting yourself up for a fucking heart attack come November

Excerpt from Politico article:

One senior House Republican said the GOP’s goal at this point was to “save as many Republican seats as we can.” The president, this person said, was not helping.

“President Trump has made this election all about himself,” the lawmaker said. “Now we have to survive that political storm.”

A second Republican member of Congress said the movement of campaign advertising made plain which side was in control of the midterms. This lawmaker predicted Democrats would pick up about 10 seats, more than enough to take control of the chamber.

Even in newly redistricted red states like Florida and Texas, this person said, Republican candidates were “hanging on with their fingernails.”

Republicans have already fallen back from several contested House districts that they feel are no longer winnable, including those held by Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks of Iowa and Tom

Yea, I've been thinking a lot about this. Winning the midterms is one thing but we are absolutely going to need to be clear w/the voters, post midterms, that Trump owns this economy Affordability & accountability need to be the 2028 primary themes! Our messaging is going to need to be crystal clear

The Supreme Court has already green lit Trump’s actions here, meaning that the only way to block or rescind this vile extortion is to remove from power the people holding trans kids hostage Which means however angry you are at the Democrats over their actions here, we *must* elect more Democrats

Put a fork in the Republican Senate candidates in GA and NC. Rogers is hanging on by the thread in MI. Collins is in trouble in ME, so is Sullivan in AK. Paxton is clearly on the back foot. Kansas is in play. Graham is a weak candidate in SC, and nobody is quite sure about the state of play there.
