  • “33 Senate Seats are on the ballot”

    LMFAO.

    Let me introduce you to Staggered Elections

    Only Maine’s seat is even winnable, the other ones up for relection in 2026 are all safe Blue or Safe Red states

    Currently its 53-47. Highly doubt that Dems can win 3 in Red States. (Unless we get a White Boi Hillbilly Revolution?)

    The House cannot block juidicial nominations.

    Judicial nominations are not subject to Filibuster.

    So…

    Not to be a pessimist, but…

    Looks like an uphill battle…

    😕



  • I doubt entrenched powers would let the mayor of the biggest US city actually do anything radical like what he campaigned for.

    Its called legislature.

    You’d need like progressives to win enough seats to get a majority in city council.

    If Bernie became President, he probably wouldn’t have gotten much of the progressive agenda done, just look at the composition of congress. You’d need 50 progressive senators and 218 progressive representatives, it’s a long shot. For NYC tho, that’s probably a bit easier, but still, its 26 progressive city council members needed. Basically 26 simultaneous campaigns + the Mayor’s Seat to actually transform the city.
