McCaulaliff made a mistake trying to paint Youngkin as baby Trump was not compelling or believable. (He does not behave like Trump)
On CNN a pundit said Dems were frustrated with McCaullif not engaging Black voters. smh
So the tried and true “blame Black folks for not coming out to vote” rhetoric has started early?

90% of them are not.
Closer to 60% If you don't think DeSantis can fool enough people you haven't paid attention. Youngkin did well with black folks for a repub.

"democrats should learn"...by pretending to be idiots.
Do you want to win or not?
Drop LGBT issues, ASAP :manny:
Black people aren't going anywhere...cut weight :manny:
Why are dems paying the price for something the republicans are supposed to block? Gay marriage shouldn't have been decided by the supreme court, the repubs should have blocked in the bush era. It's too late now.

At this current juncture, very good chance.

We might have a R+7 environment for 2022. Kevin McCarthy showing models of GOP picking up 50 seats in the House.

And if GOP wins Senate, Biden can’t nominate anymore judges and if Breyer croaks, no Supreme Court justice.

The issue is most Americans are still not hurting. This is a huge impediment to any real change.

55% of the American populace live in the suburbs. These suburbs are overwhelmingly majority white. These people are still living a semblance of the so-called American dream. This results in two effects:

1) They do not support structural changes that would lead to a more just America because the current system still works for them.

2) They are not happy that the Democrats are focused on the needs of the black and brown urban poor which may be the right and humane thing to do but unpopular in suburbia because the vast majority of white suburbanites are racist small-minded, self-centered and greedy. Poor whites get riled up with culture wars like gun rights, immigration, CRT, BLM etc.
This is what @Pressure always says. He speaks facts as he is a black man in the south. It’s easy for me a black man in NYC to think this Republic is more progressive. But that’s me in my tri-state area bubble. Once you leave the NYC metro area the country is red and racist as fukk. But white folks will be the downfall of this nation. What doesn’t help is that the GQP is getting closer and closer to their fascist dream. So America will continue decline. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, the Senate, Supreme Court is leading to their ultimate goal. And when America goes through a REAL crisis white folks will look to a fascist right wing authoritarian to take the reign. For example like climate change. People have no idea how close we are to the race to the bottom. Social misinformation doesn’t help. Like @MyAccount this country is done done.
This. And the people who are actually hurting are less likely to vote.

Pete shouldn't be talking about adopting kids. Trans issues should never be mentioned again, hell Biden needs a Sista Soulja moment on that alone.

Pete isn't running for shyt. Him talking about adopting kids in his personal life isn't causing Democrats to lose races. What a deranged statement and the only people I've heard talking about Trans people are republicans and that's because they want to oppress them. You sound as brain broken as those losers on TLR.

If the Democrats did run on protecting LGBT rights that would actually be an improvement over the current running theme for centrists/right wing/corporate dems which is "Orange man Bad". At the very least it would show they actually believe in something.

Desantis is an awful campaigner and speaker. This has been shown time and time again. Seems like Youngkin actually ran a good campaign. Desantis ran a horrible campaign he won because Florida is a lost cause.

I looked in the comments....heavy acronyms and words I'm not familiar with. That's none of my business :hubie:

I will say that I'm not sure what the expectations are from a federal perspective, but I can promise that Repubs will give less of a fukk about what's going on in East Africa
