Ralphie: Seeing way too many Dems in my feed today who are either brand new or willfully ignorant of the nature of special elections. Y'all still need to do the work.

Maybe not Grayson himself, as his personal scandals would actually be punished in a primary and his increasingly tall stack of losses are putting him into gadfly territory if he isn't already there. But I think I see what Ralphie is getting at in the sense that a more pugilistic and politically incorrect style might be what the party needs to have its own Trump-like purge and reformation into something more populist. It would appeal to the kinds of voters who dislike Trump because of federal workforce cuts, rather than because they think he is rude.

hammer101peeps: It's just crazy that there's this much discourse over such a small amount of people. If I remember correctly, Charlie Baker (the NCAA President) said there's only like 10 transgender athletes in the NCAA.
All the more reason to duck the issue.

Would call it an end of an era, but in truth 538 has been a drained husk for years now. This is a mercy killing.

Even during a "good" Democratic midterm under Trump, Republicans found ways to net Senate seats. Such is the nature of partisan polarization along with some traditional swing states trending red.

The damage ran too deep for any particular VP selection to lead to a Harris win. But Walz did not lead to inroads among the working-class or among men as was anticipated.

I'll probably regret taking the bait, but here we go: why, exactly, is this a bad thing from a leftist perspective?
Tariffs are a necessary tool to protect workers' jobs from being sent overseas, and to prevent capital flight. They're nothing new in social democratic-led governments in Europe, and are a very common theme in the leftist politics of the global south. Brazil has some of the highest tariff rates in the world and has been controlled by a leftist party for most of the last 20 years.
I get it, Orange Man Bad. But tariffs arguably helped industrialize the United States to begin with and have real-world, contemporary results of providing job security for the working class. There is absolutely no reason to let the far right take ownership of something as basic as not outsourcing jobs. And on balance, I would rather there be a Republican Party that inadvertently takes the side of domestic production over the globalist tendencies of the Bush era.

Harris didn't run on identity politics during her approximately 100 day Presidential campaign, sure. But she clearly didn't shake off the image of being the "woke crusader" she had established herself as in the 2020 primary.
No one was making up her statement on being in favor of taxpayer-funded sex changes for illegal aliens in prison. That was just a genuinely out-of-touch statement of hers from 2019.
