I don’t think Trump is getting sworn in on Jan 20th. If you a leader in NATO or the EU, you can’t afford him to be POTUS. Read between the lines but that’s what I think. So be prepared for POTUS Couch Fucker.

The push to villify illegal immigrants without much of a push back to tie it into existing racial animus seems to work really well. It allows Republicans to broaden their coalition because they get to talk about how illegal immigrants who are brown or black are causing the problems in America and Latinos and Africans can think that they’re not talking about them. And maybe they’re not.
David Shor’s hypothesis is that the right has lessened their racial animus more minorities that are conservative switch parties and that would decimate the Democratic Party. Maybe that’s happening.
needle just moved from 91 back to 89%…

this is the last post i’m reading tonight, thanks 
I’ve spent a lot of time driving around rural parts of the US and it just seems like a situation that is so hard to overcome, every news radio, commercial, local TV, whatever is just on full blast about illegal immigrants, inflation, trans people, abortion, America going into the shitter bc of Democrats. I honestly thought enough people could see through it, but I guess that’s an lol sweet summer child take.

If you Ukraine, or any of the countries bordering Russia, can you afford Trump to be POTUS when he’s willing to sell secrets at a whim? Especially when Putin wants to expand Russia to its former glory.
If I’m Zelensky I’m on the first plane out of the country immediately. They are doomed.

It is staggering Trump killed a bipartisan bill on immigration, so he could run on immigration, and it worked. Just fucking hell. Fuck it all.

I hate to sound like a lefty podcast but I feel like the Dem playbook of “try to cast neoliberal status quo as being in the best interest of as big of a tent as possible” is just not working, and will not work. Stop pitching the status quo. People don’t want the fucking status quo.
The Harris campaign slapped Walz on the wrist for suggesting he was against the electoral college. Just fucking why.

I think it’s going to remain clear that immigration is just a suuuuuper losing issue for Democrats.
They have allowed the GOP to frame the argument for decades now because they are too chickenshit to stand up for what is right.
If it’s a losing issue regardless maybe just standing up for what is right isn’t the worst idea.

Yea that’s what I mean. Now what do the leaders of Norway, Finland or Sweden. Putin wants their land. And they know Trump will help him get it. It’s just a clusterfuck all around.
Propaganda is just really effective and everyone has a phone in their pocket that blasts it 24/7.

Harris up 5 in NJ. Incredible.
Agree but there’s not shit they can do about trump other than band together and rely on themselves
If you are Harris how do you manage to do a concession speech when you get blown out by Donald Trump. Brutal.
Ya this Kornacki breakdown, if that’s what you’re watching, is wild. Something is fundamentally broken in Dem party/messaging
