@JRHorsting I have yet to see if there will be midterm elections in 2026. You believe so. I don't. I hope I'm wrong #midterms2026 #election2026
This is how you do it
Let's get 50 #AOC s in there in 2026, like #DejaFoxx in #Arizona:
But that requires you assholes out there to show the fuck up in #primaries2026 and #midterms2026
Or maybe even run
You're not voting for centrist #democrats or becoming one, you're clearing out the milquetoast dead wood and making room for the new generation
Treat the #DemocraticParty like an empty vessel. Replace them

A ‘Blue Wave’ is building. It won’t look the same as the last one.

Midterm elections usually give the party out of the White House a chance to make big gains. This was the case in 2018, during President Donald Trump’s first term, when Democrats made significant gains in the House and flipped the chamber. With Democrats already picking up some momentum in early midterm polling, they could be poised for another strong performance in 2026.
But even with Trump back in the White House, the circumstances will be different this time, presenting new challenges for both parties. The Republican coalition has broadened to include new groups of voters, punctuated by Trump’s first popular vote victory in 2024. The districts are different after a redistricting cycle that factored in changes in the party coalitions caused by his 2016 win. And the party bases are increasingly distinct in their voting habits, with Democrats enjoying more support from voters who dependably show up in non-presidential elections, and Republicans from voters who are more disengaged.

@jeffjarvis the dumming down is a tried & tested method of #autocratic regimes to rapidly phase out any worthwile opposition & dissent. My prediction, the effect of this dumming down will shows itself in clear daylight during the #midterms2026 when despite the majority’s hope odpf change there will not be a #bluewave as the #trumpadministration will have gutted all the smart (& thinking) election officials
In an eye-opening piece, Russell Berman explores the Democratic Party's struggles as it confronts Donald Trump's second term. With the 2026 midterms approaching, Berman highlights that while Trump’s approval wanes, Democrats can't afford to be merely resentful; they need voter enthusiasm. Fresh leadership and messaging changes are essential for energizing the base, argues David Hogg.

Ross Rosenfeld reveals a concerning twist in American democracy with President Trump's Executive Order #14248, aiming to alter election processes for the 2026 midterms. The order requires proof of citizenship for voter registration, risking disenfranchisement for over 21 million Americans. It also opens doors for legal challenges on mail-in ballots, echoing poll tax dynamics. Is this the future of voting?

@MEActNOW #vote #midterms2026 I hate to say it because the #Democrats really aren't doing anything to stop #trump's #tyranny , but y'all living in a two-party system. So, #VoteDemocrat
Enough snowflakes make a blizzard. 🌨️
Big turn out Thursday night and elsewhere
Fight #oligarchy
Take over the #Democrats from within
Third party will divide the #left
Not voting gives #Trump a win
SHOW THE FUCK UP #AMERICA
(bonus #Canada flag because there was a hockey game the night before)
the pridefully #ignorant ones will endlessly blame shift away from their own #entitled #privileged indolence
the question is do they outnumber the ones who can have their eyes opened via the suffering they bring onto us by not #voting/ voting for #bigoted #plutocrat #malice
some have the bare minimum of heart to go "i was wrong"
if they are not enough? too late?
then we are truly fucked
#maga #voters, #nonvoters: i absolutely despise you
Fuck #Schumer
Nobody is normalizing or accepting Schumer the spineless turd
The problem is arguments to not #vote and give us #Trump
That choice matters more than your point
Meanwhile, until #midterms #midterms2026, we #primaries2026 the fuck out of these centrist milquetoast centrist corporatist shit dems
And if someone doesn't vote in the #primaries?
Then they can shut the fuck up because actions speak louder than words on their supposed ideals
Show the fuck up #America
Fight!
@inthehands @StillIRise1963 @tarheel
why i'm posting this now
#midterms2026 means enough #democrats to stonewall #trump
but as the time draws near you will hear the same old whiny lies:
"both sides the same"
"corruption is everything"
"nothing matters"
"waah waah"
some of it is real #toxicidealism
some of it is #geopolitical #trollfarm #psyop
advertising their fake #leftist bonafides, like an american flag profile on #twitter injecting a #maga #kremlin agenda
people fall for it
when i castigate #nonvoters i hear:
"you're turning them off"
fuck that
if someone lacks the capacity to see the stakes, that's on them
it's not our job to soothe and trick them with emotional appeal. that's #MAGA tactics
what's happening now is they are learning consequences
the hard way
*even then* they will shift blame. never taking ownership of their #alienation
the problem is them
not how insensitive we are to their fucking precious feelings
#vote #midterms2026 you fucks
