Sweeping Democratic victories in off-year elections seem to be foreshadowing a very good midterms for the party, and one expert believes it’s even bigger than that.
“This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to fundamentally transform legislative power,” Heather Williams, president of the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC), which focuses on electing Democrats to statehouses, told Mother Jones.
I’ve got money that says Dems wont reclaim more than one house in 2026 due to their own milquetoast incompetance. Let alone a winning sweep in 2028
Surely the Dems wont blow this on some terrible tactical decision around optimizing corporate and foreign government bribes, ignoring what their constituents want, and reflexively beating up their left flank.
But the dems won’t do shit
Kamala wants to run again.
Newsom sees himself as a frontrunner.
Mamdami isn’t recognized by Dems and they can’t figure out why he won.
The Democrats continued to drop their balls when they folded after the gov strike.
Yeah we’re looking at another shit year. They’ll just fund ICE less now.
Clinton/Harris 2028
(/s)
You got me on that one. For a brief second till I saw the snark tag. Well played.
Yeah, I hope Clinton/Harris was snark.
Someone needs to get Jeffries out of there before he finds new ways to score own goals.
Yeah, when the Midterms are over, it will be time to get rid of Jeffries and Schmuck Schumer. If the Dems take one or both Houses, then it’s time to go to war, and these dipshits aren’t in the game. They let the four years of the Biden administration go by without firing a shot, and that can’t happen again.
No kidding, if the next Dem administration is just a repeat of the Biden administration, instead of a full-blown crushing and purging of MAGA, and MAGA ends up back in power, I’m leaving. Not kidding. I don’t see the point of staying here, caring, fighting, protesting, writing, etc., if the people we appoint to fight for us simply refuse to do it.
I’ll just retire to an island or beach somewhere, and watch America burn down from a distance. My family is already talking about it, and comparing options.
Woah, expecting representation in exchange for your vote? Sorry buddy, this purity test is unreasonable. Dont you know that governing is hard? Of course you dont because youre not in the big club.
Now suck on nanci Pelosi’s toes with the biggest grin you can muster or else you will be labeled a Russian bot by our finest record correctors.
I gotta ask, like what’s the plan even if there is a big blue wave? The current dream scenario it seems is just a centre-right single party state where the Republicans poof into thin air and leave just the Democrats. Your guys’ country needs more parties
The last time the Democrats won control of Congress, they tried to pass a very large electoral reform law.
This bill bans partisan gerrymandering, requires Congressional constituency lines to be drawn by independent boundary commissions, introduces new limits on campaign finance, requires polls to be open for at least two weeks, introduces an automatic voter registration scheme, makes the final day of voting a federal holiday, expands postal voting, makes obstructing voter registration a federal crime, restores voting rights to felons when they leave prison, bans lying to voters about when or where to vote, introduces public financing of elections, limits the amount of money that political parties can spend on an election, requires candidates for president or vice-president to disclose their tax returns, imposes a code of ethics on the Supreme Court, and bans companies from making big donations to inaugural committees.
This bill did not pass because the Senate was evenly divided and the Democrats suffered a backbench rebellion from two “centrist” senators.
As is tradition.
