Do you think that they’ll just add a bunch of new amendments at the constitutional convention of 2025, or start or with a totally new constitution?

amendments, the aesthetics of the thing don't work if you can't gussy it up as reasserting the will and wisdom of the framers

Funniest/most galling Dem "loss" from the last couple of days IMO is India Walton losing the Buffalo mayoral race after the guy she beat in the primary got more votes than she did as a write-in . I've always said that US elections needs WWE-style "loser leaves town" rules and this just further advances my case.

They actually tried to abolish the office of mayor after she won the primary so I'm 100% certain there was massive fuckery going on somewhere in there - but on the face of it "loses election to write-in candidate" is not something I'm going to get upset about no matter who we're talking about.

I think the biggest lesson to take from this and like hundreds of other elections around the country over the last few years is "if you're a socialist quit loving running on the Democratic ticket."

That was a little different as Democrats were divided on who they were actually going to endorse and the party made it clear they would welcome Lieberman with open arms if he kept his seat. If you're going to do that then there's no point in having a political party in the first place which is, well, pretty on-brand for the Dems, actually.

there's been three successful primaries of an incumbent senator since 2000, of those lieberman and murkowski just went 'gently caress you' and contested as independents/write-ins in the general and won, john sununu was the only one who made the primary win stick, mostly because the guy he primaried was a weirdo who'd made himself persona non grata with the gop (announced he was leaving and joining the taxpayers party, then changed his mind in like 3 weeks lol) and moved to florida immediately after losing

probably gonna change once trump sticks his base on the rino traitors next year, but it's been real hard to get a primary challenge to stick this century so far

can't believe the dem strategy of answering culture war bullshit with "heh. HEH. Listen here you loving rubes. First of all critical race theory is an ACADEMIC theory taught in college where you are too stupid to go. Second of all..." failed.

also fun to see libs doubling down on "the problem is our ideas and candidates were actually too good for these toothless hayseeds and yokels to appreciate"

(i mean they're not wrong about white people not liking being called racist but the solution isn't calling them stupid hicks in addition to racist)

The Dems just don't understand the key to politics, once you start explaining or you say its available on the website you've already lost.

Second, Democrats can sharpen their indictment of Republicans to focus on the future: If Republicans have their way, big gains for regular workers will vanish. In other words, Republicans stand ready to return to plutocratic economics, whereby the super-rich and big corporations pay virtually nothing in taxes and struggling families lose valuable health-care subsidies and monthly child tax credit benefits.
