They have no path to win midterms, and they will run first. Funny thing is that they literally have nowhere to run. 🤣

    I have zero faith in the American public to do the right thing. We can blame Trump and the leaders all we want but I don’t know a single person who voted for Trump 2.0 and regrets it even though I live in an 80+% Trump district that is getting completely fucked by tariffs. As a country we are just too fucking stupid to get out of this shit.

      I’m sorry, but Doomerism has to die.

      The only call-to-action I get from this kind of comment inspires is “give up & go home evryone; your fate is to suffer”

      My intention with my own comment is to ask people to please keep the defeatist comments to yourself.
      If you aren’t saying anything informative or supportive in Public discourse, what are you actually putting into the Public’s mind?

        I was hopefully until the DNC decided to run Janet Mills against Susan Collins. They gave her early support and the people of Maine no other option. IMHO the democrats are throwing the election early, so not sure what’s going on in your contested district, but I’d be big money on Susan Collins win here.

          The DNC is truely doing the bare minimum to keep up the imagine. Its not a both sides are the same, but a lot of the both sides like money and we now all know most people are fucking selfish and stupid(at least in the united states).

          There’s a primary going on with multiple candidates and she’s currently losing in polling.

            2 candidates that I know of. The DNC supports one and is campaigning against the other? Is there a third candidate I am unaware of and can you source the polling you are referencing?

              Oh, so you knew about the primary but just decided to say the “DNC” (actually just establishment Democrats) gave Maine no other option?

              Just shut the fuck up. Go Google it yourself if you want to know who else is running or what the polls are. You not being able to keep up with news or put any effort at all into knowing current events before telling people what’s going on is your problem.

                What is the DNC if not the establishment democrats? The Parties leadership? Didn’t you respond to my post? I’ve been keeping up with the news, I haven’t see any polls to suggest that Janet mills is not the front runner. You said other wise. Support your statement? Nothing you said is of value so far perhaps taking your own advice on the stfu part

      Anti-democracy bots are already hard at work all over the internet, doing the usual “there is no difference between the parties and only stupid people engage in democracy” spiel.
