THE POSSESSION OF WEALTH IS IN AND OF ITSELF A SIGN OF POOR VIRTUE. AS SUCH:
1 NEVER TRUST ANY RICH PERSON.
2 NEVER HIRE ANY RICH PERSON.
BY RULE 1, IT IS APPROPRIATE TO PRESUME THAT ALL DEGREES AND CREDENTIALS HELD BY A WEALTHY PERSON ARE FRAUDULENT. THIS JUSTIFIES RULE 2--RULE 1 NEEDS NO JUSTIFIC

The democrats are going to lose even harder because they are going to count on being saved by the uniquely lovely candidates that the republicans are fielding in Pennsylvania and Georgia and just assume that they don't need to do anything to hold the Senate.

Actually they're fine. Everything is fine. Obama's numbers were the same, worse even. Biden has had the most productive summer of any president ever.

But if he loses, it's because of you little shits expecting him to get anything done when Manchin and Synema were hammering his balls like a speedbag and Mitch was blocking him from passing a single bill.
While it's true he lacks any redeeming qualities of any fondly remembered president with a legacy, have you considered joe means well and is doing his best?

That's pretty much the entire article, just padded with a few more whiplash inducing flip-flops between 'things are good' and 'things are bleak'

senate races are rarely competitive though. it’s a lot easier to predict the Lords than the Commons

Turns out if you do absolutely nothing to address Roe vs Wade being overturned then you'll end up losing the enthusiasm that got kicked up by the ruling.

They haven't done nothing, not only did they fundraise record amounts of money but they had fundraising emails ready to go within minutes of the decision. I can only conclude that you love misinformation.

The week after Roe got struck down we had an all hands meeting where the execs (of the company that IS the fundraising arm of the Democrat party) celebrated that our number went up because of the record amount of donations and processing fees they carried with them

My ideal is dems lose house, but Republicans both by not running on anything and choosing guaranteed losers like Oz lose a seat in the Senate. And Trump then goes all in against Cocaine Mitch.

I'm more worried about goons continuing to be wrong about everything.

If the democrats aren't completely smashed beyond hope, the cycle of normalizing ghoulish suffering will continue a few more times, and the gop will run further to the right to distinguish themselves with the dems chasing the whole way

look i get it i just don't know that seeing the dems destroyed in any way guarantees something besides a fully cemented right-wing power grab. like, i hear you all rushing to post now but we all know it will get worse lol.

anyway i'm not saying i want to see them successful, just all options and outcomes are likely to be bad for a while!

like this is pithy and not wrong but they’ll get worse faster under two houses of the gop and a trump or desantis presidency and don’t pretend like they won’t. there’s no guarantee anything would rise up to replace the dems in our life either

this isn’t enough to make me vote for them since they’re making their own bed and they can lie in it but it doesn’t mean i can’t feel bad sometimes about how much worse and quickly things will get
