Nothing less than democracy itself is on the ballot in November 2022.

Anyone who tells you differently is lying to you.
Anyone who tells you that you can ‘ skip this election’ is a bought and paid for chaos agent for Republicans. Periodt.
I wish far leftists would just be honest. You hate the Democratic party because you don't feel like your whiteness is centered enough these days. You resent the power of the black voting bloc within the party. Stop pretending you know what's best for us more than we do.

Anyone who tries to diminish the accomplishments of President Biden and his Administration is a chaos agent for Republicans. Periodt.
It’s amazing how this isn’t talked about more. It’s as if Democratic success is ignored by the press. https://t.co/A0pfWjqXWc

If the Democrats win the House and Senate, people like AOC, Bernie, Liz, the Squad and more would be forced to do their jobs. There’s be no more excuses as to why this or that hasn’t been passsd. It’s much more beneficial for AOC for the Democrats to lose the House than to win.

And, that goes for those who can never find anything right with what Democrats do.
Oliver typifies the class of political commentary that makes the shallow observation that what Republicans do pleases the people who vote Republican, and then concludes that Democrats should do it, too. https://t.co/rp618YKSPC

That said….the mess in Pennsylvania, is indeed, a mess.
He lied about the vigilante episode, and you expected him to be honest about his health. Please understand…he never came clean about his health…The doctor released that letter to put in neon letters
‘ I.AM.NOT.RESPONSIBLE.FOR.WHAT.HE.DOES.’
That letter couldn’t be any clearer.
But, those who were pushing for Vigilante Shrek can keep their mouths quiet. You wanted him, you can go out and push to get those White Working Class votes for him in November.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
not voice frustration and anger when our voices continue to be disregarded, mocked and erased; when you demand solidarity that is never reciprocated; when you "remind" us what's at stake, remember that we are the ones who've always known and voted accordingly. 2/

When Dr. Oz, the former cardiothoracic surgeon beats Fetterman, the cardiac patient, don't say we didn't tell you so. Oz has a huge edge because people generally love & trust polished doctors over most other people period.

Fetterman knew he had these heart health issues for years and was instructed to take medication and focus on diet and exercise BUT HE DID NOT. Still can't campaign after recovering from a stroke and getting a pacemaker. Christ.😑😑😑

Revised: folks have been warning Fetterbots 4 months about these problems. You did your way. Fine. Do it your way in the general. Rick Wilson said the GOP clock $100M just waiting on Fetterman. Well, do it your way to help him win & stay out of a Black women mentions. We owe u 0. https://t.co/YN4pMu4dG0

Me?
I have moved on. The Governor’s race in PA is important. …because the Governor of PA picks the Secretary of State – the one who runs the elections. We need to go all in for Shapiro.
As for the Senate….we have other races – Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, Wisconsin – we need to get these and keep our most vulnerable seats.
The Senate is important for many reasons…chief among them….
JUDGES
Put your investments in these candidates because losing the Senate would be a nightmare on so many levels. We need to gain seats even a one seat pick up would at least offset Manchin. Two would be ideal and Three would allow more to get done.

There are also Governor’s races that are important:
Illinois, Marylan, Pennsylvania, Texas. And those where the candidates are fighting uphill, but, are good candidates – Arkansas.
Why did 207 Republicans vote against a Democrat-bill designed to lower gas prices? Why did 203 Republicans vote against a Democrat-bill designed to mitigate domestic terrorism? Why did 192 Republicans vote against a Democrat-bill designed to end the Baby Formula crisis? WHY @GOP?

Folk wanting personal invitations to vote. Guarantees their single issue will be done “first” & w/out changes or negotiation live in fantasyland of their own creation. Nothing in their lives work like that yet somehow a check/balance gov should immediately capitulate to them 🫠

A blue state is blue until it isn’t
A red state is red until it isn’t
The common denominator is DEMOCRATIC VOTER TURNOUT
If not enough Democrats turn out we get Virginia
If Democrats turn out we get Georgia

This thread brings electoral receipts.
As Democrats we must not take anything for granted in 2022.
Republicans will always vote for their problematic candidates.

“…losing the Senate would be a nightmare on so many levels. We need to gain seats even a one seat pick up would at least offset Manchin. Two would be ideal and Three would allow more to get done.”
Psycho-Sinema is a bigger problem than Traitor Joe.
We don’t know why she is willing to take down Joe Biden’s presidency, but she is. It could just be about the money, raising 20 million or more from corporate donors by 2024 and then walking away with the money. Or she might be pretending she is the re-incarnation of her idol John McCain. That seems less likely but there’s no way of knowing what is going on in her sick mind.
Sinema was hand-picked by Chuck Schumer and the Democrats cleared the path for her and helped her raise 22 million in 2018.
And now the Democrats are reluctant to even acknowledge the enormity of their mistake. They are still trying to normalize her.
Never again will I be shamed into voting for a bad Democratic candidate because the opponent is supposedly worse. Never. Again. I won’t vote for either of them.
As so many have noted, the Democratic Party has always styled itself as a ‘broad coalition’ …and often described by critics, as a ‘fractured amalgamation..’
An ‘ideologically diverse’ Democratic Party has rarely meant a ‘unified’ party..
Multiple toxic factions fighting for ‘supremacy’ and willing to do whatever it takes to take out each other..
Everyone looking to install their own faction-preferred picks in position.. every faction looking to take control …and willing to do whatever it takes to take and wield said control..
The rise of social media and its prolific use, has taken disinformation, misinformation, gaslighting, manipulation, astroturfing and ratf*cking to new heights.. so bad, that even those who once decried said toxic tactics, now unabashedly employ them..
Anyone can put out anything and have it ‘amplified’ … and if one is good enough at it, can soon quickly become a self-styled ‘influencer’ …with legions of ‘followers’ ..real, bots, burner accounts, all included..
Paid Twitter ‘influencer’ is now such a lucrative line of work, hardly anything making the rounds on twitter, is organic.. it’s all courtesy of paid lead astroturf ‘influencers’ in service to some specific agenda..that they’ve been hired to selectively and inorganically ‘amplify..’
But there’s also a not so hidden offshoot to this whole new era.. a destructively degrading and insidious quality to this whole Twitter/gaslighting/Reality era.. it’s not only made overnight celebrities and ‘billionaires’ of reality types, but it’s effectively warped many in the general public.. and folks are swarming to whomever is ‘marketed/amplified’ ..no matter how sleazy, undeserving ..there’s a hard to miss cheap, soulless superficiality that’s now the order of the day..
Brazen revisionism, outright lies.. amnesia, all now reign supreme.. up is down, and down is up..
And once upon a time we were horrified when the gop and their orange buffoon propagated this yucky mush..but it is now being shamelessly and blatantly served up by Dems..
Dem faction wars are being fought out in the open on twitter..splintering the party even further, and driving wedges, and turning folks off…
‘Deep Blue’ Los Angeles just had a Mayoral primary.. with a 27% turnout ..and a trump-like ‘developer’ right-wing republican ‘billionaire’ came out ahead …and is primed to win in November..
Who knows, he might go on to run for Governor or President next.. ‘Deep Blue’ California gave America Reagan after all..
Meanwhile, Dems are so busy in their little toxic faction Twitter bubbles and echo chambers, deludedly patting themselves on the back.. too busy ‘amplifying’ their faves.. and waging all manner of revved up phony ‘battles’ – selectively of course – and specifically, on behalf their faves..
Eliihaas, great to hear/read your voice. It’s been a long time. I hope you’re well.
At my age you just kind of look around and ask yourself, “Why are we doing this? Why have we squandered so much?” There was always enough to go around.
We were glad to get rid of Trump, at least get him out of the WH. And it appeared for awhile that Biden would do better than expected with passing legislation to deliver what the Democrats ran on in 2020. At this point I’m guessing he’s overwhelmed by Ukraine/Russia, inflation caused by corporate gouging, endless massacres, COVID mutations etc… on top of not being able to deliver his agenda. Now I just worry about whether or not he can hold on.
I think that VP Kamala Harris may be another concern for the Dems. Given Biden’s age, they needed a VP who would be highly visible and quickly win support, ready to assume power at any time, definitely by 2024 if Biden can’t run again.
Your assessment of where we are now is sadly the truth. Yet, for a brief moment it looked like we might get some long overdue progressive legislation in a reconciliation bill. I knew that nothing else could get passed in the Senate because Sinema uses the filibuster for cover so she can keep selling her vote. Despite the faction wars, a few things might have gotten done were it not for the Dem traitors in the Senate.
I’ve got no predictions for what happens next. But the anti-democratic movement in this country is growing and better organized than we might like to think.
Good Morning, Everyone😊😊😊
