no one else is even close, It’s too premature to fully rule out her running

I don’t think that’s true, the polls consistently show her as the only viable progressive choice right now, any other candidate would have a much harder time and would be a huge long shot. As things stand currently she’s by far the best option

"provided another person steps up to fill that role" that seems like the opposite of your claim

2010 was nearly R+7

Ah, I just wanted to clarify just in case

I think that even during COVID his approval rating on the economy was still positive, afaik voters didn't really blame Trump for COVID

Technically 2018 was bluer than 2006, with the only exception being the senate; if it's bigger than 2018, it would be bigger than 2006 too

You can't have a “blowout victory that clearly demonstrates the electoral unviability of white nationalism” when your entire political project is about making concessions to white nationalists on immigration and all other issues

It's also non falsifiable

“True centrism has never been tried. It cannot fail, it can only be failed”

Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders. After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.

We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.

If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇

SEATTLE!!!

We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

It's not a huge one, but it is an improvement

Warner is up for reelection. He was widely seen driving towards surrender behind the scenes, but he's voting no in public because it's unpopular. The real question is whether he supports a senate leadership change. If not, someone who supports senate leadership change should primary him.

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.

I keep saying this

thinking back to when eric cantor got knocked out in a primary in 2014

Senate reaches deal on ending the shutdown Democrats are coalescing around a bipartisan agreement to fund the government.

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise.

Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families.

Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

He can definetly be pressured into being better in a way Schumer can't

He sure wasn't panicking about Trump saying he was going to make Canada a state

The way I see it, Trump doesn't perform as well electorally as other republicans would, but he's the only one who can keep the GOP relevant and get a consistent voter base to show up for him. Other republicans would get more votes but would struggle to keep them, Trump gets less but he can keep them

Eurocentrism and western exceptionalism strikes again

The margin seems the same, maybe they wanted it to add up to 100

He wants to be a TV president

Also “NJ is a swing state” lol, lmao even

It's also very funny because NYC is way bluer than NJ and VA are, so Trump's involvement would actually do more damage there

One of the main things I noticed when they did the “Welcomefest” was that even though their whole brand was “big tent politics”, the entire event was just them listing all of the groups of people they thought needed to be excluded from the coalition: immigrants, unions, LGBT, women, leftists, etc

He'd probably say something like “Yeah but he's a muslim”
