2025 elections

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Despite all the whoopdedoo about a closer race in Tennessee, I hope I'm wrong in predicting a big margin win by the repug. No offence, neoplacebo, but people in that gerrymandered district didn't get smarter or learn to read overnight. If Trump was satisfactory by 20-30 points in 24, they've already seen all his wets and don't care. They know he's corrupt, a constant liar, insulter of the military, women, the disabled, and that his policies and actions hurt them personally. And mostly don't care enough to not vote for him.
Yeah, hope for the best but expect reality.
We're not just talking about MAGAts changing their stripes, but also about the independents who went with DonOLD last year due to discontent with the Dems. I'll go out on a limb and predict that the result will be closer to the 2 point poll margin than to Dementia Don's 22 point margin.
I think I'm only one of twelve thousand Independents in this state. Everyone else is in the cult. I expect to be deleted from the voter rolls in Sullivan County before this time next year or be forced to travel twenty miles with my papers and prove my worth. They probably won't dig what I have to tell them.

Oh, she'll outperform Kamala, but a single digit loss is still a loss. There's no moral victories.

True, but there are indicators for 2026 and that is what's important.

I don't want consolation feel good prizes.

I want to feel good by winning.

Out performing Kamala is not a very high standard.

You might want to set your sights lower than TN7 then. But, we'll see . . . Dems are scared and angry, while RepuQs are disillusioned and leopards are munching their faces.
