There’s a dichotomy shaping up in this midterm election year. The national political landscape could hardly look worse for Trump and Republicans.

At the same time, the GOP is suddenly resurgent in the redistricting fight, getting significant wins this week in Virginia and Tennessee that could soften the blow they might have suffered without them.

    No matter where you are, how secure or how futile you think it is, you better be voting Democrat in November.

    If you’re upset by AIPAC or corporate shills, now is your chance to make Dems a little more leftist by participating in the Democratic Primaries in your state.

    But vote Dem in November. Even if it’s a loss, we need to make the disparity of representation versus actual popular vote due to gerrymandering as wide as possible, for that will be a point of persuasion in the longterm fight ahead and going into 2028.

        Better than 2000 Dr. Ozs!

        And all the more reason to get involved in the Democratic primaries to get as many of those Fetterman out and improve our team.

        Entropy is a bitch and I don’t take kindly to accelerationist volunteering me and my kids for the slaughter for their hunch.

          Given how much they seem to agree on policy, it’s hard to say.

          all the more reason to get involved

            ^ For the record, bystanders note I have this user tagged as endorsing and voting for Jill Stein in 2024. So yeah… Thanks for that and falling for the right-wing spoiler vote kool-aid. The outcome of that was oh so fruitful, huh? lol

            Edit: By the way, 24,400 comments in less than 3 years. Wow. Just wow. My dude is singlehandedly keeping Lemmy afloat lol

              Funny how that was actually RFK Jr, but he got so much traction with liberals Trump just on boarded him to his own campaign.
