minus-squarealcoholicorn@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 months ago One where the 2026 election gives the Dems control of both Houses. We’ve got lib media trying to argue that the 2024 election indicated a rightward shift of the electorate. It remains to be seen if the dems are just going to keep doubling down on trying to be republicans from the previous election.
minus-squareDagwood222@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·6 months agoHere’s the thing. If the Left doesn’t vote, they look at the people who do vote. I was educated by some old school Communists; folks who actually were in Spain fighting Franco and who got blacklisted in the 1950s. One story they always told was that in 1968 a lot of young radicals were saying that Humphrey was as bad as Nixon and they would never vote for him The folks who had been around told the non-voters that Nixon was truly terrible and that they should do what they could to defeat him. I’ve yet to see an election where the Left sat by idly and got anything good.
