SMH over Wisconsin and North Carolina

Democrats should have invested in them more…little more investment and the Democratic candidate wins

Florida and Ohio are loss causes

I Think for 2024 we need to try harder for NC & TX, while also investing more in AZ & GA as they are the new swing/purple states…while not wasting money and time in FL and OH….they have become Missouri.

Why is Desantis flying around everywhere

Seems like he so busy campaigning for everyone else out of state, that he forgot he had his own campaign this year. It’s like he thinks he has this campaign in the bag; I think Fried and Crist should make his constantly being out of state to campaign for others an issue.

Bad economy? What exactly does the economy actually mean.

Every since Biden has become POTUS, the MSM and Republicans talk about the bad economy. But what exact makes an economy good or bad. Under Trump, they talked about the big stock market number as if that was the barometer (I never thought that that should be a gauge)….they have always talked about jobs and unemployment as being “the economy”…..and this is why I am so confused now because the job market is so great now that anyone for the most part can get a job and they are getting paid more. Unemployment is really low, and the stock market is still high….but the republicans along with the media is all doom and gloom…..now all of a sudden the have switched the barometer and made it all about gas and inflation as being “the economy”

Democratic strategy for upcoming midterm election

Why don’t they run tv ads of all the crazy stuff that Taylor-green, Boebert, Cawthorn, Gaetz, Palin (because she is probably going to win a seat) do and say…and then say “do you want these people controlling Congress!”….these ads need to continuously run for the next 7 months.

I don't get it

Republicans/Conservatives talk the most trash and are always disparaging democrats/liberals. They never compromise or try to get to know us. They fight us on EVERYTHING and all things are political to them. They spread hate and misinformation. But somehow it’s always up to the Democrats to find common ground and compromise, or to get to know and understand Trump voters. And anytime Democrats fight back we get labeled as the party unwilling to work together.

This why the MSM is complicit in destroying democracy

CNN front page using words like “Democrats fail to advance national protections” and “Democrats didn’t have enough support in their own party”…..when they should be saying “republicans obstruct” or “Republicans block voting rights”…..I really hate the media

Manchin and Sinema's dumb argument about

The filibuster leading to bipartisanship and compromise. I contend that having the filibuster leads to more partisanship and not compromising because the minority knows that they don’t have to and can hold up legislation. Getting rid of the filibuster incentivized the minority to compromise so that they can at least try to shape a bill that will get passed anyway.

Biden to meet with Manchin and Sinema on voting rights tonight at the White House

What is the point. This two aren’t budging and this is just more political theater by them
