Bearing down on the issues facing America before the mid term.

Will football hate enthuse MAGA? scratching head emoji

Guess he has nothing else to talk about....


Prediction markets have the senate and a dem sweep at 73%.

The 2026 midterms are tomorrow and the final polls are here. Which party has a better chance of winning?
The latest New York Times surveys show Democrats leading key Senate races in Michigan, Texas, Kansas, Maine, Ohio, Alaska and Iowa. Could this be a "wave" election?

I'm a political pessimist, but that list has me hopeful. It will not just be the impact of the votes in Congress but also the effect of a chastened GQP.

[O Really]

I can't help thinking there are a lot of repugs who are sick and tired of Tru*p and his bullying and chaos and who are (very) secretly glad for a wipeout.

[GoCubsGo]

I'm cautiously optimistic with recent memories of getting burned still fresh.

Congresscritters in the republican party may be secretly relieved too. They are much better at providing outraged soundbites for the talking heads with no actual responsibilities than actually governing.


If there is a blue wave it'll be more of an exhale sense of relief than jubilation.

Fingers crossed. This may, may, have backfired:

The strange vacuousness of Haley Stevens’ sabotage of Abdul El-Sayed

Dingell: Stevens' GOP endorsement is "galvanizing" voters behind El-Sayed

Edit:
Haley Stevens' endorsement stunt backfires with El-Sayed setting single-day fundraising record
$2.4 million. That will buy a few late ads.

I'll go with jubilation. Being let down by the Dems will come later.

Following a sudden GOP slide, a top data scientist’s model gives Democrats 90% odds of taking the Senate as Kansas trends blue in major shock

We'll soon see, though some results may not be settled tomorrow night.

Many, many, many are also heavily non-White districts, but SoupySales tells us MAGA isn't racist and there's no voter suppression.

I'm pretty sure Supes is yanking our chain. Anybody who really believes MAGA hasn't done its best to suppress the effect of black/brown voters wouldn't be able to feed themselves.

His "illegal" black/brown servants do that.

Love the Polymarket pic. I'm glad that Bernie! and AOC did their anti-billionaire tour earlier this year in swing states deflecting criticism of democratic socialism. It would be interesting to see a spreadsheet matching results to states where they appeared.

When will the left realize the "race card" does not play anymore?

[O Really]

When will the left realize the "race card" does not play anymore?

Probably when there isn't any demonstrable racial discrimination anymore. Is it your view that we have reached that point?

[Vrede too]

What O Really implies. Get out of your whiny Faux Noise cave for a while.

When will the left realize the "race card" does not play anymore?

When will the right get a non-racist leader? Pay attention, DonOLD 2.0 has been ALL about race.

I'm not very hopeful, but:

South Carolina Senate race gets unexpectedly close after Lindsey Graham's sister Darline stumbles

ETTD. Democrat Annie Andrews has run as fine a campaign as possible for a Dem in SC, while Darline has been weak and hateful. Kudos.

We have and will have some racism in our society forever. Having lived in the South my entire life I see so much less racism.
