yes INDEED

Damned low-flow politics.

It's mad early, yo

This is where the party was always heading. They’ve been going for this for sixty years and more and they are not about to let the dream die. None of this goes away even if, and it’s still a big if, we beat them back again this November. They still have the courts, they still have the statehouses, they’re always going to challenge for congressional majorities, they’re entrenched everywhere in the government.

They refuse to die and they always come back worse. Nixon was supposed to be the end, what happened? We had one term after that followed by three massive landslide victories by people worse than he. W was supposed to be the end. What happened? Obama won, we had big majorities in both Houses and they came back worse only two years later and killed us. Now this asshole is here, is literally the worst President ever and openly tried to overthrow the motherfucking government and he’s still got a chance to finish the job. He’s right there and the election can go either way.

My point is that these people are never going away and every single subsequent election is going to be the most important election of our lifetime. Because all it’s gonna take is one slip, one snake slipping through the fence and they will finish the job. It was amateur hour last time, next time it won’t be.

If we win this election and get majorities in both houses, we absolutely must pass safeguards to prevent this sort of thing from ever happening again. We didn’t do it this time. We have to do it next time because eventually they’re going to win and they’re going install the system they want. They’re never going to reset, they’re never going to regain their sanity.

The Wolf is always at the door.

We have to win.

be with us.

More's the pity.

the MAGA cretins are not going away in one election cycle so we need to render them irrelevant by retaking the House with a solid majority, increase our Senate presence, and begin to erase McConnell's toxic legacy...

the magnitude of Joe Biden passing the torch to the next generation cannot be overstated...no more "when they go low we go high"...when they go low we kick them in the nuts..we get them on the ground and step on their necks...from now on "nice" is just another four letter word...

their president's keep getting worse.

The extremists will be trying to start the civil war they want

The Federal-fasc-ist Society judges will be doing there damnedest

Expect noise from the Elon Muskovites, from lockstep legislatures, and from election boards lying sob

We will need to stay strong, united, and determined afterward to defeat all their efforts to overturn the election and take charge. Many of the courts, especially the SC, will side with them.

There will be chaos during their attempt to take over. When the SC rules in their favor, our leaders will be faced with some deep soul searching decisions on whether to abide by such an insurrectionist ruling or go against everything they have always believed about obeying the rule of law. Perhaps they will be clever enough to legally get around such rulings without openly defying the law.

The fact is that the election will not be the end of the struggle to defend ourselves from a dictatorship. It will be the first step. Hang in there, though. We can win in the end.

But this is feeling like that! This feels like Obama levels of excitement plus the pontoon frustrating of having to deal with this MAGA scum for 8 years.

they know they can't lose. It's gonna be ugly...real ugly....

Almost like they are hard-wired to be unevolved.

Black voters, are growing in registration numbers, along with Gen Z registrations, and women? Seriously?

We've got this. Like Obama says, come ON.

and resemble the wayward turd that flushes at first, but always pops back up. Just wish we could flush them for good

Pretty much nowhere, as far as I can tell. A bunch of weirdo's with no vision for the future.

... all the leaders get long long long sentences or die.

This is a DOJ thing, Garland is NOT up to task historically speaking ... we're in for ruff seas even if Harris wins

I've heard this similar statement about the gop on its' last legs, in past elections.
One in particular, claimed the Democratic party would be in control for 30 years or more.
Obviously, it didn't happen.

imho
With hacking of both parties servers. Dems said it was Russia, GOP said nothing, but TFG began his escalator descent taking GOP with him.
GOP began defending, supporting, adoring all he had to say
WHAT?
Was on GOP server?
Kompromat material?
So many fell in line it’s spooky

It seems so quaint to argue about the minimum wage, or the Affordable Care Act. Normal things. I want those days back. So, so tired of existential crises every time I watch the news.

I’m not going to hold my breath for the end of MAGA or even a shift in the GOP, though.

There’s always more rocks they seem to crawl out from under.

August 8th to be exact?

They do nothing to help the American people and only offer outrage over things they won’t do anything about!

I would agree.

That will shake things up for an election or two, once the mega donors shift to the "sane" Republican side, where's the money for MAGA? With some good Dem leadership, removal of Citizen's United, a reformed Supreme Court, we can set things up to be better for future generations.

And we'll have to always be vigilant. Nor more "we're better than the other guy", unless it's true. No more "vote blue, no matter who". The Dem has to actually be better, not just barely better than the alternative, to work for us and not Wall Street. It's going to be hard. No doubt about it. Backbreaking, heartbreaking, soulbreaking WORK.

I believe this is the pivot point for democracy. If we lose, we're done. Not forever, maybe fifty years, a hundred years. Untold suffering to come and endure. So, the only option is to win, and to keep winning. I think Joe Biden's greatest gift to us was knowing he had to step down, and having the courage to do it. To trust Kamala Harris, to trust us.

We have to make sure he didn't make this sacrifice for nothing. It's on us. The torch has been passed, now we have to fucking light up the world with it.
