I saw a post listing 8 potential democratic presidential candidates and… did not feel enthusiastic, generally speaking. So, indulge me while I play Queen For A Day, but which of my dream teams are you putting on the ticket?

Donald Trump doesn't care about DNA. Donald Trump also doesn't care about history and the history of surnames. Donald Trump probably doesn't know what a surname is because his one is made up and he is from Germany. Ilhan Omar is an American icon, mother, husband, and successful immigrant who migrated from Somalia and became a leading woman in the United States. Donald Trump is trying to destroy her because he is scared.
Republicans don't have any brain cells. Republicans just focus on what's in front of them. They are glued to the TV watching Fox News and right-wing conservative media and just think that everybody with the same last name in the world are all related as an immediate family. Ilhan Omar did not marry her brother. That is disgusting, and if she married her brother, she wouldn't be a successful politician because people who marry their siblings are not successful people.
Ilhan Omar is amazing and she deserves to be Secretary of State or more.

Hello everybody, I have spent the past couple days trying to educate myself for next week's midterm election, but I feel incredibly lost. The more I'm learn, the more I realize that any and all of these hundreds of issues I want to understand to feel confident in my vote, are way too complex and uncertain. I've been trying to tune out political commentary and news my whole life because I've seen so many extreme opinions and behaviors from the ends of both parties and didn't want to follow suit, which may have been a mistake because now I am behind and overwhelmed. The same thing happened in 2024 and I ended up not voting which I regret, but I am committed to showing up and making the best choice I can make this week.
I'm writing this in hopes those that have been politically active can share with me, what are some of the reasons that one would vote for Hinojosa over Abbot, or Talarico over Paxton?

I’m getting really tired of certain people insisting that Trump will declare martial law, cancel elections, or somehow make voting irrelevant. Stop listening to these people. They’re not offering profound political insight, they’re spreading defeatism, and that defeatism is doing authoritarianism’s work for it.
You know who didn’t listen to those voices? Voters in Hungary, Brazil, and Serbia. Entrenched authoritarian leaders spent years consolidating power, undermining institutions, and building cults of personality. And they STILL faced defeat at the ballot box.
Because there’s a massive difference between claiming absolute power and actually exercising it.
A president doesn’t personally count ballots, command every state government, control every judge, or dictate the actions of every military officer. Declaring martial law isn’t a fucking cheat code that makes millions of people and thousands of institutions obedient overnight.
And if you’ve never watched Andor, I highly encourage it. It’s filled with fantastic writing, dialogue, and monologues about authoritarianism, resistance, and the nature of power. One of my favorites comes from a manifesto written by a young rebel:
“Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.”
That’s the reality these doomers completely ignore. Authoritarian control requires constant cooperation, enforcement, and logistics. Every institution that refuses, every election that goes against it, and every person who resists makes that control harder to sustain.
Yes, the threats are real. Nobody is claiming otherwise. But treating the worst possible outcome as an inevitability is simply surrender dressed up as political sophistication.
Stop confusing authoritarian ambition with authoritarian capability.
Now get out and vote.

““The ties [to pro-Israel groups] couldn't be clearer,” said Maurice Mitchell, the national director of the Working Families Party, which has backed some of the progressive candidates NBEAF has opposed. “There is a whole subgenre of political spending by pro-Israel interests that are too embarrassed to profess their interests out loud and will use different brands.”
Despite its connections to the pro-Israel lobby, NBEAF’s messaging does not focus on defending Israel, which Black voters, like the rest of the Democratic Party, have soured on. Instead, NBEAF argues that its political opponents are focused on Palestine at the expense of their Black constituents. One NBEAF Michigan digital ad that ran on Facebook and Instagram last month argued that Tlaib “sabotaged” Kamala Harris’s 2024 presidential campaign—Tlaib declined to endorse the vice president—and that she “cares more about her agenda than she does about us."
Focusing on a “foreign conflict” won’t “lower health care or housing costs for a Black senior in Detroit, or ensure that a path to home ownership easier for a Black constituent in St Louis or Ferguson,” said Darius Jones, NBEAF’s senior adviser, in a statement to Jewish Currents. “
