[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the senate kills the filibuster, I would expect DC to become a state within 10 hours of Dem control.[/quote]

why would dems take control? They are not very popular outside of the dc metro area. it looks like the virgina and new jersey gov races that are lowouts for the dems is very close, this should give everyone pause[/quote]

While "democrats" writ large may not be popular, the issues and positions they support have well over 50% and in many cases 75%+ support. It is mostly the GOP media eco-system that tears down and lies and doesn't provide nuance that has killed the democrats. They simply cannot communicate their way out of a paper bag.  Anyone says "DEI" or "CRT" or "defund the police" or "socialists and communists" or "Biden Inc" and everyone knows what they are talking about, no matter how much gaslighting and lying goes behind those terms. The Dems, for whatever reason, simply don't have the capacity to match that level of media definition and penetration to keep up.[/quote]

Dems haven't had a leader who could effectively communicate to the American people since Obama left office. This is how silly GOP talking points gain traction. Needless to say, mumbling, bumbling Joe wasn't an effective communicator but neither is Trump at 80 years old and Dems need to do a better job of taking advantage of this glaring weakness in an elderly man.
