"And here's why that's bad news for Joe Biden"

The Biden campaign should really put this phrase on a coffee mug or bumper sticker.

Essentially these results are an endorsement of some badly needed moderates. It’s a relief.

Your posting twin said the same thing a few pages back and I’ll say the same thing in reply to you: the extremist GOP worldview is being repudiated. You don’t need to both sides this, people just don’t want what the GOP is pushing.

One might think the media would get a clue after today but I’m not holding my breath.

On 538.

Democrats had a great night!

Here’s why it’s bad for the Democrats.

It's the "people don't care about good news" mentality in the media. It's like they care more about the horse race and the drama than they do about the betterment of the nation.

Stop. both. sidesing. this. Had the situations of the parties been reversed last night, we would be treated to trumpets and chariots about how Trump is for sure winning in 2024 and how this is a new morning in America for the Republicans.

But instead the Democrats basically won it all last night and “Democrats won in the following limited skirmishes that will have no bearing on anything in 2024.”

The media is working for the GOP.

This is no less insane when Ds claim it than Rs. By parroting stuff like this, you are actually helping to feed the beast. Yes, most news outlets are at least somewhat partisan in some way. No, “the media” is not working for the GOP. There are plenty of outlets with a liberal perspective (full on: Mother Jones; significant: MSNBC; some: NPR). The media is not a monolith that is all equally reliable or all on one side and it isn’t helpful to pretend it is.

I haven't followed KY politics enough .. what lessons are there to learn from Beshear? The state is obviously still red as can be. What messaging is getting through from him to otherwise Trumpian supporters?

Saw this ad on Morning Joe this morning and it made me tear up. God bless this incredibly brave young lady.

He is done. Every state where abortion has been on the ballot has voted to uphold abortion rights. He is on record as wanting to take away bodily autonomy. Move on.

Besides, I’m not seeing a situation where Trump voters choose him over Trump in the primary.

His only hope is Trump wins and makes him like secretary of the treasury or some shit like that.

If, god forbid, trump wins next year, he is going to surround himself only with mega maga absolute loyalists and he is not loyalist enough

My Wash Post page is acting up for me this a.m. but there is a post about this. It claims a) Trumps odds of winning are increasing and b) the plans being OPENLY discussed by him/his advisors and which are plainly fascist.

This includes purging govt workers and installing those who are loyal to him, invoking the Insurrection Act to quell protests, and more. As well as pardoning and apologizing to those convicted of J6 insurrection.

He is TELLING US he will try to dismantle our democracy. Y'all need to listen to him.

I agree and don't get why people are still interested in voting for him. It seems nuts. He's not even keeping these plans a secret. It's like, all written down and publicized and yet still, people think this is a good choice. I will never understand it.
