2026 Elections: To the Midterms and Beyond!

JD Vance takes aim at Abdul El Sayed with some nonsensical and racist "Sharia Law" smear (when has AES ever said anything about imposing Sharia Law?) and tells a protester with a Mexican flag to "get his ass home".

I see no comment from the usual suspect(s) who are squeaky about "extremism" on the left.

Have any of the republicans been asked to distance themselves from the convention attendee that called for AES and Talarico’s murders?
 
Nah, that's just some good ol' locker room talk among boys. It sure isn't like any of that socialist Medicare for all talk that the far left spouts off that's going to murder thousands of people.

Of course not. Yet, Democrats are asked every second to distance themselves from somebody. The double standard is very real and Americans are so stupid they can't see it.

Actually, I agree that his qualification of "if it endangers safety or fareness," is actually a great way to handle it.

The problem is there are more people in this forum who argue with you daily than there are trangendered athletes playing NCAA sports, and that this is such a sticking point for people is frustrating.

Tough question: which are there fewest real examples of?

a) transgender athletes in women's sports
b) undocumented aliens voting
c) terrorist sleeper agents who snuck across the Mexican border
d) Democrats who want to steal your guns
e) public schools surreptitiously providing gender-affirming care without parental consent
f) members of the Guardians from Rise of the Guardians
 
That tracks.

A pastor kicked off a recent campaign stop for Michael Whatley, the Republican nominee for Senate, with a prayer that asked God to bestow “integrity and honesty” upon the event and to right wrongs “hammered down on the conservative movement.”

The prayer was hardly unusual by North Carolina political standards. What was surprising was the man who delivered it. Pastor Daimon L. King is a registered sex offender, twice sentenced to prison for convictions involving children, according to state and court records.

The episode occurred with two months to go in a marquee Senate race that could help decide which party controls the chamber after the November elections. It risks undermining one of Whatley’s central campaign arguments — that his Democratic opponent, former Gov. Roy Cooper, is soft on crime. And it could feed into an advertising blitz by Democrats that has targeted the Republican candidate’s association with another convicted sex offender, a former GOP official.

Dude - he is in Texas. Do you want Paxton to win?

And - "if it endangers safety or fairness" - should be a pretty uncontroversial statement, no?

Agree with your first sentence. Whatever it takes to win. Talarico >>>> any Republican, especially in a red state like Texas..

My further prediction? 2030 - Dems will take the wrong message from success in 2026 and 2028, move to far left and then the Republicans will take back the house in 2030.

Republicans would take back the House in 2030 regardless of what Democrats do or don’t do while in power. The same American people voted Trump back into office for fuck’s sake. I’m not concerned if they think Democrats “went too far”- they don’t even know when Democratic policies are helping them. The vast majority of voters are ignorant, fickle, and impatient, and don’t pay 10% as much attention as any of us.

Democrats should always go fucking huge on everything when they’re in power, because it takes so much longer to build programs and build infrastructure and build better healthcare than it is to destroy, destroy, destroy. If the American people paid attention like us, getting information from actual news sources, without the culture war bullshit smoke screen (including trans athletes) I think it’d be 80-20 D in the Senate, 400-35 D in the House. Maybe worse.

Very well stated, but we need terminology that is much more direct. I would call the former "mixed economy" and the latter just "socialism." That would be a legitimate debate where I could see myself crossing the aisle time after time to find the best solution, not being trapped on one side because the other was noxious and idiotic.

Economists don't agree with me on this, but I think it's not truly a "mixed" economy if at least 1-2 major industries aren't nationalized. To me, a "mixed" economy doesn't mean that all industries are private, regulated, and there's a strong public safety net. It implies that you've got that public safety net, AND the feds have taken over running key industries like healthcare and energy. Social democracy is not "mixed", but democratic socialism is. Both systems (but especially Dem Soc) say it's terrific to start a Main Street business, but once you grow it into a Wall Street business you should be prepared to help fund the public infrastructure (esp. transportation, energy, and education) that got you there.

Your screen analysis of babies is bad because I fear the new/unknown and I'm still smart enough to be a progressive.

Also, our discussion is irrelevant, because Cleetus isn't educated enough to understand or care, and is going to vote to carve us up for lunch.
 
Assuming we have free and fair elections, the Democrats are now favored to take both chambers.

RCP's aggregated Senate polls:

TX: Talarico > Paxton (Dem flip)
OH: Brown > Husted (Dem flip)
ME: Jackson > Collins (Dem flip)
AK: Peltola > Sullivan (Dem flip)
NC: Cooper > Whatley (Dem flip)
MI: El-Sayed > Rogers (Dem hold)
NH: Pappas > Sununu (Dem hold)
GA: Ossoff > Collins (Dem hold)
IA: Turek < Hinson (Rep hold)

Current caucus: Rep 53 Dem 47
With the above: Dem 52 Rep 48

If that holds Fetterman can switch and we would still hold the chamber.
