Turnout was down 75% in Middle TN U.S. House special election, particularly in GOP strongholds β€’ Tennessee Lookout Turnout in the special election primary for Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District race was down compared to the 2024 General Election.

If you are a Democrat in the Tennessee 7th, you have a chance to do something incredible starting tomorrow as to the special election on December 2nd

The Republican Party appears to be collapsing there, perhaps in part because it is trying to starve everyone

Who imposed tariffs?
Who cut immigration, destroying the ag workforce?
Who undermined the Fed?
Who halted renewable energy?
Who's running deficits?

That is what the ACA is.Why don’t they look at the runaway compensation packages of the insurance CEOs and how they are rewarded for their high claim denial rate? Govt could improve coverage by demanding a better less costly product and then hold them accountable under the consumer protection agcy.

Which is why I don’t understand why they are the loudest proponents of taking away the help, which in percentages is so low comparatively speaking, from the poorest amongst us.

I assume that’s why Stephen Miller is hiding on a military base. Not a good sign.

He travels to other countries and sees this level of bourgeoisie and disregards that this country and its governing principles, the Constitution, was born out of escaping that level of concentrated power, wealth and ostentation.

Few people outside North Carolina have heard of Paul Newby, the chief justice of the state’s Supreme Court.

But Newby has had a huge impact on America and his state. He’s done this with the goal of delivering what he’s called β€œbiblical justice, equal justice, for all.”

Nuclear testing isn’t something you greenlight in a post, but turning national security into a fear show is how authoritarians rule.

β€œIndividuals with narcissistic tendencies often invent a reality that revolves around their own feelings and needs, ignoring facts and imposing their version of events on others.”For example,he called Jan6 a day of love,or that he ended 8 wars.His reality is not factual,rather that of a narcissist.

Yes, thank you, I will add that to my lexicon, β€œAuthoritarian Oligarchy” is more accurate. I need to read up on Competitive Autocracy because my curiosity lies in where the average citizen fits into this movement.

I remember hearing that Russian troops were stealing toilets while in Ukraine. This is what authoritarians do to their own citizens. There is no dignity in the societies they create.

Maybe Andrew Yang was right? If AI causes a job collapse we may need some version of a universal basic income or UBI. The news from yesterday about Amazon and UPS layoffs is not good. This is why Congress should be in session working and discussing among other things, AI and legislation around it.

Republicans have no money for SNAP to feed Americans, but when this guy needs $40 billion to bail him out before his election, that becomes Trump’s #2 priority after his ballroom.

JD Vance is no pauper βˆ’ he’s a classic example of β€˜poornography,’ in which the rich try to speak on behalf of the poor It happens in journalism and it happens in the arts. But in Congress – where just 2% of representatives held blue-collar or service-industry jobs before entering politics – it’s rampant.

Platnar’s family history is reminiscent of the way JD Vance presented himself, as a β€œhillbilly β€œ from Appalachia to bolster his credentials to speak for the working class, when in fact he was raised in Middletown, a suburb of Cincinnati.

Wen the King of Shit talks smack every single day and surrounds himself with liars,incompetents and conspiracists there’s no time to give to the health and wellbeing of the American people especially when you are catapulting the debt into the next stratosphere. Next year will be beyond catastrophic.

Miller and Vance crying about being labeled nazis but what else can you conclude when they won’t condemn the β€œI love Hitler” group chat of Young Republican leaders.
