samhale72.bsky.social @samhale72.bsky.social · 20/01/2026Unless Democrats can get a majority in the senate in the mid-terms, none of this matters. And right now, in spite of all the chaos, polls still show voters prefer Republicans. Democrats have no message that resonates with voters. 000
samhale72.bsky.social @samhale72.bsky.social · 20/01/2026And yet Democrats can’t capitalize to even have a chance at a senate majority in the mid-terms. 000

samhale72.bsky.social @samhale72.bsky.social · 23/07/2025No point lowering tariffs - let Rs take the hit for transitory inflation they cause, bank the revenue windfall. Try millionaire or billionaire taxes but nothing below that. Go big on abundance to lower inflation, increasing real wages. 000
