I really hope this is gonna be a landslide election and it's possible for the Dems to take a page out of Waltz' book and pass a whole bunch of meaningful legislation, which will help carry on support for the Dems next election as well. But oh well, I might be too optimistic.
About 2 or 3 weeks ago I would have thought that kind of talk is way too optimistic. Now that Biden stepped aside, Kamala stepped up, and most people rallied around her, and you add in Walz now...well, damn, I'm trying to think of a time where I've ever been this optimistic about the Democrats.
And I'm one of the people that was lukewarm about Kamala (at best). I'm going to vote like my life depends on it even though I'm not in a swing state, but still...
If we want that then it’s not enough to just get Harris into office. We’ve got to win Congress. And we’ve got to win enough of the Senate that any would-be Manchins can’t stop everything. That’s the only way to pass meaningful legislation.
Smart. Trump has gotten away with lying so much, the fact-checks come after he has already drowned the issue in more lies. This even happened live, in debates and interviews! Playing catch-up with his word-vomit is not an option...
Well it's easy to get away with it in the debates when the moderators don't say a fucking word, even when Rump is saying things like "You and I know... -" and then goes on to tell some atrocious lie.
