202(2)5 - dems in disarray thread

Guy gets his opinion piece published that AOC is the best candidate for Dems as president in 2024… but neglected to realize she won’t be 35 years old in 2024

Welp… she will be 35 in Oct 2024

Ummm….Biden is going to run unopposed

Maybe it’s not just the economy, stupid

I mean this is KANSAS!!

^ this is YUGE

They had a huge Dem turnout for this primary election, higher turnout overall over previous general elections in the state.

What happened to Sinema?

She used to be liberal….now she’s fighting for hedge funds? Over a couple of hundred K in donations? Is it really worth it?

I don’t get it. Campaign contributions don’t even make that much of a difference. You run some negative ads nobody pays attention to…big whopdedoo

Again, what happened to Sinema?

Bill has passed senate

I cannot believe they couldn’t get sixty votes to pass insulin price cap or that senate parlamentarían said they couldn’t do it with 51

and the QOP will be railing against the price of insulin by the end of the week… and did Rubio draw the short straw to spew QOP idiocy while all this was going on?  they grow a special type of stupid in Florida…

Ok yes it's a little early to start counting your chickens

but…https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2022-election-forecast/senate/?cid=rrpromo

Dems slightly favored to win senate!

we are getting more arrayed each day!

(although…not looking good in the house)

You are so poll driven

Isn’t the old saying most Americans don’t start paying attention til Labor Day?

Polls can help with trends but as predictors -particularly in an age of deplorables - I don’t believe in them…. I feel like if we haven’t learned this lesson by now….

new rally call: we will remember in Roevember 

(thankfully Rocktober happens before Roevember)


I'm skeptical of polls too, I do love them as they are generally  a fairly good indicator, especially on the state level
too many variables with the electoral college to trust them on a National election

@NotHoodlum
The GOP just canceled $10 million in fall ads for Senate in PA, AZ and WI. This is a clear sign of financial problems. Hardest hit was PA, more than $5 million in Philly alone. They’ve given up on Oz.

Not sure how this happened, but we've lost Frau Ingram?!

another rough day for the former guy: not only does he lose his girlfriend laura, but he also informs us the the FBI confiscated his passports… that's going to make it difficult to "temporarily" visit russia.

when I abscond with Top secret info, I always make sure my passports are in the same boxes, duh!

makes sense: those TS dox are mostly valuable to those outside the country, so once the highest bidder emerges you'll need to hand-deliver them (at that price, they expect premier service).

the array continues to happen…although this photo does look a little creepy

Biden hands Joe Manchin the pen he used to sign the Inflation Reduction Act.
