Democrats have a chance to show they can turn things around. I honestly hope it works out for them. But I’m afraid they’re going to spend their time being punitive to Republicans and trying to push the country too far to the left.

We’ll see. I’m at least hopeful for now.

no

it’s a repudiation of the people who thought that being anti-trans is a winning issue

I mean, punishment is warranted for a lot of the things that have happened

True, but I don’t want that to be the focus.

Impeach Trump, impeach Hegeseth, that needs to happen.

I want someone to comb through all the tariff revenue to see where it went/is going. I want some accountability here. But I want forward momentum and not a party that’s stuck in the past.

2024 happened because Trump and his sycophants weren’t properly punished

they all need to be punished to ensure this doesn’t happen again. last night was a clear mandate.

You’re reading too much into it. It was a pissed off populace tired of being broke. Plain and simple.

Sure, everyone in your circle and on the far left want those in power to be punished. And to some extent I hope they are. But by and large, your average Joe and Joan voter just got done putting gas in their car and it cost them $90 for something that used to cost $60. They’re angry, but not for the same reason you’re angry.

Broke, lied to, embarrassed.

^^ To be fair I am not far left (if anything far right on some issues) but I want them to be punished too. If we get bread lines and my kids are trans there is at least justice!

I wonder what data Republican has to say about this?

I know you'll die on this hill, so I don't know why I even bother, but did you realize that different issues have different weights with different voters at different times? When there's only a binary choice, it doesn't mean they endorse all your personal policy positions. This is so basic. It means that IN THIS CASE, the trans fear mongering was insufficient to overcome the higher priority issues to voters, not that it's a settled issue. Expect to see it again.

do you think Republicans are going to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on anti-trans ads again?

11/4/2026 2:12:12 PM

Yes, I do, actually. And when the margins in a future election are closer, it will work (again).

Unless Democrats can get their messaging and response to these tactics unified.

I truly don't understand why you can't see this for what it is, or maybe you are just willfully choosing not to.
