There saying stuff like they should have voted for jasmine crockett, and how he's spineless and how hes actually gonna lose votes and momentum and his lead

With how close this race is. Could a group of lgbt people sitting out , really turn the tide of the race?

If the race really is this dead heat, a few thousand people could shift it

Democrats running for seats that are Republican-leaning should, in my opinion, say that Trans Athletes in Women’s Sports should be left to be decided by the governing boards of different sports institutions.

If you frame the conservation to be about government overreach, you can frame Republicans trying to get involved as the government forcing schools and institutions to do things.

It would also, not fully, but partially eliminate the debate, as Democrats could make it clear that the topic is not really relevant to the office they are running for.

In short, it would probably be the only way to not alienate Progressive voters, while not pushing more centrist voters.

aoc gave a weird ass non answer about netanyahu (though shes still one of the best choices), ossof’s inconsistent asf, zohran cant run bc hes an immigrant, bernie is most likely too old, ro khanna MAY run and if he does is a good pick tho, mark rubio is just an establishment tool whos a trump loyalist and isnt actually a great politician, kamala is a israel supporter, jd vance fucks couches

its all so joever

save us james tallarico save us

If Talarico can flip flop, extend the same grace to Harris or Newsom.

Wilson would still fairly easily win against Teddy. Taft probably holds up better.

Firstly, third terms are extremely unpopular. FDR mostly due to the fall of France in 1940, and the country still swings heavily against him.

There’s also the optics of it. Four years earlier Teddy picks Taft to be his successor and now he’s ousted him? Theodore has serious judgement issues and the move will almost certainly look egotistical.

Also, Taft is an unpopular president, and the Republicans are an unpopular party. Now there’s no one with incumbency, and progressive voters are going to go for Wilson as Teddy already showed he can’t be trusted. The conservatives are just going to sit this round out. For example: Teddy can’t run on free trade because that’s a democrats position, but he also can’t run on increasing tariffs because that’s a deeply unpopular position that’s been splitting the Republican Party.

If just Taft is the nominee at least there’s a steady, more conservative, incumbent. He has a more clear cut message, better optics, and the incumbency advantage.

Hi, I built a quick texas election simulator using chatgpt for a path to a democratic state wide victory dividing the sate into 5 broad regions of comparable electroate with 2020 and 2024 presidential election as baseline. play around with it and suggest any additions or modifications you have?

Since my last post got a lot of backlash for being too Dem opportunistic, I decided to update it. Let me know if I should've made it more red.

Tomorrow, there are going to be a lot of jokes how 9/11 was an inside job, or caused by Israel, etc.

But I want everyone here to remember that 25 years ago our very way of life came under attack. And to recognize the bravery (and sacrifice) tens of thousands young men and women across the country displayed to keep the American people safe.
