10. The economy almost always determines the winner.

Harris lost in ‘24, despite all the noise to the contrary, because the economy was perceived to be awful even though it was improving. People didn’t feel it.

Now, the economy actually is awful, things cost much more, gas is through the roof and is only going up, the dollar has lost its value and people hate the tariffs. Everyone really feels how bad it is.

Democrats are going to dog walk the Republicans this year, even with all the bullshit they’ve pulled and are going to pull. It’s not going to matter.

And Democrats are going to win in ‘28 because of how much worse everything is going to be.

We’re pretty much going to see a replay of ‘06-‘08.

But they better not fucking waste it this time. We need very serious change and policies with real teeth. The party has got to tell the big money people to fuck off this time. They’ve had a gravy train for nearly fifty years, it’s time give some back to the working class. Otherwise we’re going to see ‘10 again in the ‘30 midterms. The cycle must be broken or things are going to get really ugly.
