The cult will, but that’s not enough for them.

A big decrease in the price of gas, just like after we invaded Iraq, right?

Schroedinger’s liberal: disgusting communists who hate America and horrible capitalist monsters who love ICE, packed into a single person!

I like to call them liberals.

People who claim voting will change nothing are actively suppressing the vote, and I will never not push back on that kind of rhetoric.

11% undecided… if undecideds usually break for the party out of power, then 🌊

That sort of seems backwards, because 1. senate races in OH have been more democratic leaning than gov races for the last several cycles; and 2. Sherrod Brown is much more well known than the Dem in the gov race, and a proven over performer.

When Trump isn’t on the ballot, polls seem to be pretty on the mark, or even underestimate Democrats (see Virginia and New Jersey last year)

Turning off comments is a sure sign you’ve got a winning argument.

It does show that a quarter of Americans are still willing to pretend they’re living in an alternate reality to protect Lord Pedoclown, which is… probably an improvement?

Another poll showing Talarico ahead (yes I know it’s just one CD, but if he’s winning here, he’s probably winning statewide). Just like the last poll, the takeaway isn’t the top line: it’s that it doesn’t matter if it’s Cornyn or Paxton. The GOP slugfest may be for nothing but our entertainment 🍿

Looks like NYT added some more votes to Ossippee. Still underperforming Trump by a lot

Dem overperformance in the northeast has been pretty mid (or nonexistent) compared to elsewhere in the country, so any overperformance would be good here!

The biggest takeaway from this poll isn’t that Talarico leads: its that his lead doesn’t change much at all, whether he’s against one of the Republicans or the other. Interesting that there are more undecideds in a matchup against Cornyn than one against Paxton, though.

When you’ve been president for over a year, started an unpopular war, gas prices are about to hit $5, inflation is about to jump again, unemployment is rising, and your approval is approaching 30%, I’m sure Americans will blame β€œthe tr**nies!”

Yeah, not saying we as a society have gotten any better at accepting it. Tons of work to do. It just won’t be a convincing argument to vote voters this November who are looking for someone to blame for their high prices.

The anti-trans hysteria doesn’t have the salience it did two years ago. Winsome Earle-Sears made it a cornerstone of her campaign in Virginia last November and she got blown out by 15 points, after Trump had only lost the state by 6. I can’t imagine this makes the SAVE act more palatable for them.
