i really want everyone to read this because Dems are not going to win by default. new Republicans will run and they’ll say the right things to win. people will get fooled or maybe just agree.

Dems need real candidates up and down the ticket or we never escape this mess.

At a town hall in PA-10 and I’ve never heard people so angry. Our Rep is the worm Scott Perry who deserves a dump truck of shit on him. But the people here are also furious that the Dem currently running against him is Janelle Stelson — seen as a worthless pawn of the rich.

    Florida is running a R-turned-D for governor and they think this is a winning strategy, even though they did the same damn thing 4 years ago and still lost to DeSantis. We truly need a new party, Not Elon's, but one by and for the people. Where we tell rich people with money to shove it.

    We are in the run-up to something really bad. The Governors are talking about things in extremely bellicose terms.

    The country is on a razor’s edge.

    Instability is terrifying right now and the DC Dems are behaving so much like a controlled opposition that the Governors have taken over. Awful.

    Probably bad that Hakeem has written himself into a corner so masterfully that it leaves Josh hawley able to say “I tried to give you free money” when the dems try “we’re not as bad, fuck you that’s all you get”

    I looked her up because I thought wow she must suck shit if she's getting rando quotes. Stelson came the closest ever to unseating Perry in 2024 and she's just some rando news anchor

    the strategy from Dem leadership has been very clear: get out of the way, let them hang themselves, clean up the mess.

    but that doesn’t work if voters see you as part of the mess. the aesthetics of fighting are nearly as important as fighting. few Dems have that.
