    They keep pushing this to make us think we won something.

    It was far from a “blue wave”, more like a lapping at the shore.

    Until we’re consistently voting in a super majority of DSA into both Houses, we’ve gained almost nothing. That is what it will take to win this war by voting alone. If you think that’s impossible, then maybe it is.

      You are so defeatist. “We’ve gained almost nothing” in the face of the best election for socialists in america in history. This shows that what the DSA is doing works and that they are on an upswing. Why do you feel the need to somehow interpret this as bad news?

      Yep. This isn’t the presidency. This is a shift away from fascism to neoliberalism on a small level with a sprinkling of the occasional progressive. All because fuel prices got high, not because people are caged in gulags or being shot by gestapo in the street. MAGA is upset their mallcruiser brodozer costs $150 to fill up or their soybean export trade deal got wrecked.

        I cared about so many people besides myself for so long but now I’m completely fucked and none those people give a fuck. Thank fucking God someone cared enough about gas prices because it’s getting fucking hard to fucking survive.

        Moving forward it’s selfishness because fuck that giving pieces of myself away to get nothing back.

    The only thing conservative dems like Schumer and Jeffries understand is fear and violence. Without fear and violence (both), conservative dems will hand us right back to the fascists.

    We are not done. Our party is run by conservatives who need to be aggressively removed. They will refuse to leave. They must fear for their lives in order to leave. And we must not be bluffing or they will call our bluff.

    There is no peaceful way out of fascism. We must be willing to get our hands dirty to achieve freedom from conservative fascism.

        Conservatives build concentration camps and brutally murder innocent people here and around the world while celebrating and bragging about it. Schumer and Jeffries are complicit. They are paid by the same oligarchs and play kindly with the other fascists. They cave on “negotiations” and deal politely with the murderers. Yet I’m a “psycho” for pointing out the only historically effective solution? Name-calling reveals the weakness of your position.

        Conservatives are traitors and fascists. They will never, ever change. Never. They are still here among us. And if we don’t very aggressively expell them all from government (including the neoliberal conservatives), they will send us ALL back into fascism.

        We need to treat them as the threat they are. Stop defending fascists and traitors. Start defending the people using the tools that are historically proven to work.

        Well yes, but how is the shift calculated. Do they take the numbers from the house election, the senate election, something else, all of the above?

          I believe this one comes from the House election numbers. It’s part of an analysis/article the NY Times put out. I’d link it directly, but I think it’s pay walled unfortunately.
