Yeah they had amazing fundraising totals for Cal Cunningham and Amy McGrath and Sara Gideon and Beto O’rourke and Jaime Harrison too. They still lost.

If you don’t know there was something hinky about the way the Republicans in those races magically outstripped their polling, sometimes by double digits, you aren’t paying attention.

And it sure looks like people still don’t want the GOP’s specific brand of treason, corruption, pedophilia, misogyny and racism.


No one wants treason, corruption, pedophilia, misogyny or racism.

But they also don't want high gas prices, unaffordable food, spiraling inflation, incredible debt, and a government that does not listen.

I personally want to keep Biden as President (yay for a sane, non-racist as POTUS) and introduce a GOP-controlled Senate so we can stop wasting time on social welfare bills which go nowhere and focus on tampering down inflation.


If you think a GOP controlled senate is going to cooperate with Biden to try to take care of inflation, I have a bridge to sell you. McConnell's playbook when a Democrat is president, which he has used over and over again, is to stall any progress and try to make everything as bad as possible, and then blame the Democrat in the White House for the results. He's already trying this from his position in the minority and will be able to do it even more effectively if he is majority leader.

Everyone, including you, who casts any votes for GOP anything absolutely wants treason, corruption, pedophilia, misogyny and racism. The GOP wouldn’t be doing jack about any of the kitchen table issues you’re talking about. They’d be doing the same identity politics crap they always do and cutting taxes for the billionaires and businesses.

It might help you to notice that the entire world is experiencing inflation.

True.

The amount of guns in pa is crazy!

And confederate flags…cross the border into Franklin and York county. You think Jefferson Davis is gonna rise up tomorrow.

Hershey PA is like a little bubble shielded from this stuff tho in central pa

You ever hear the quote, “Pennsylvania is Pittsburg on one end, Philadelphia on the other, and Alabama in the middle?”
It’s apt.

Gideon totally misread the room in Maine.

Cal Cunningham’s mistake was apologizing. It mAde him look like a beta.

It is 2022, if you are caught sleeping with a moderately attractive side piece, own it!

The others really had no chance

Maybe if they spent less time on social welfare and more time on inflation it wouldn’t be.

Looking forward to the PA race-two strong candidates on the Dem side and I’m hopeful that seat flips. Fingers crossed that the Dems find someone good for Wisconsin and that person gets momentum. Ron Johnson is a weak candidate. I hope that the enthusiasm around Stacey Abrams can help save Rev Warnock in Georgia.

Thing is - the Wisco GOP is so dirty, so rife with cheating that… well, pour money into that state’s Democratic Party. They’ll make good use of it.


Ben Wikler has been chair of Wis Dems and is an excellent organizer! If you want to help build back the Blue Wall, give to them. But be a monthly donor as it helps them plan long term. So, instead of $70 now, give $10 per month April - Nov.


That’s odd. Wouldn’t having 70$ in hand be better (or at least equally as good) than having a pledge for 70$ from a planning perspective? I take your larger point that Wis Dems need support.


It would seem like it, but the problem with this is that the charity has no idea whether that was a $70 one time donation or that they'll get that regularly.

Look at it from this perspective. Would you rather have $1000 in the bank but no idea whether you would be getting any money for the next 6 months? Or would you rather have $400 in the bank and know that you'll get $100 every month for the next 6 months? From a planning perspective, it's hard to know how to budget the money. Can you spend more now? Do you have to conserve to cover the low donation months? When are those going to happen?

Wikler is awesome, one of the few Democrats actively engaged in politics who can go on Twitter and form a clear, declarative sentence that tells the truth of a situation. Thanks for the reminder to donate!
