New York is blue in the cities. The vast upstate area, especially North Country that keeps voting for Elise Stefanik, is red as blood.

Yes I agree! But? Not all! I'm a reg. Republican but have been voting straight blue for a few years now! I think that messes with them! Many around where I live have mainly highschool, so not very good critical thinkers? I had to stop my PHD efforts when the Donald cut the funding from the VA in half! Yep he attacked education his last term in office too!!

Send letters to Congressional REPUBLICANS! Ask Sen. Tim Scott whether the elimination of DEI is really the elimination of Blacks from government.

Same for Representative Byron Donalds of Florida, Representative Burgess Owens of Utah. Representative Wesley Hunt of Texas, and Representative John James of Michigan about the rejection of DEI as a pretext to discriminate on the basis of race.

How can they be Republicans?

Didn't they hear that the plane crash was caused by DEI? Did that mean the boogeyman did it?

We have three (3) Batistiano MAGATs here in Baghdad By the Sea, representing a Democratic majority electorate. Cubanos also happen to be beneficiaries of DEI. Some are Black.

Trump would send 30,000 deportees to Git-mo, which, even to MAGAT Cubans, should not be in US hands.

I keep sayin' that one size does not fit all. We need all kinds of Democrats. Biden and especially Bernie Sanders said stuff that was taken here to support a totalitarian dictatorship and the word on the street was that Harris was a communist. We could not rebut it. Due to effective psy ops, even Democrats voted for Trump.

The letter from super MAGAT Elvira Salazar, below, should give the Democrats an opening .... I remember when Congressman Mario Diaz Balart's brother Lincoln, flipped from a Dade County Young Democrat to the Republican Party. Republican MAGAT Congressman Carlos Gimenez had once been a Democratic county mayor. https://files.constantcontact.com/1849eea4801/cd2e90be-43c8-4171-b3c6-a357621f7db9.pdf?_gl=1*uo1jgf*_ga*MDMwMjhjMzctZTFlNy00YzExLWE3NTEtZGUxMmY1OGY0YjEw*_ga_14T5LGLSQ3*MTczNzc0NTk1My4zLjEuMTczNzc0Njg2Ny44LjAuMA..

FL 26th Mario Díaz-Balart (Miami)

FL 27th María Elvira Salazar (Miami)

FL 28th Carlos A. Giménez (Miami)

Same should go for Republican members who oppose a Russian takeover. MAGA Mike Johnson fired the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, Ohio congressman Mike Turner, who supported Ukraine. How many others strongly oppose Russian imperialism?

Maybe Hakeem Jeffries can convince them to flip

Truth is, voter suppression prevented 3 million people of color from voting in the 2025 national election.

Got that right! The Trump MAGATS were aided and abetted in their efforts by Blacks For Trump. Stupid is as as stupid does.

Yes and Trumpeter paid them to hold signs and wear their atire!! Not one of us here can be bought like that I think! He did the same with fake UAW Don Jr did and does the ground work! Clever how he paid some homeless in Greenland to hold.up signs!! That needs to exposed, like ask him and catch his Lies! He'd walk out like his Daddy with hard questions!

The lame brain grifter of our money!! To his LIE brary?? He doesn't read books

Agree. Noticed how quickly he shut his trap about the Bishop. Makes me wonder if he heard a loud objection (and warning) from The Vatican. I’d say yes because he moved off that platform without following up! Very good for the Bishop and very good for Catholics everywhere.

His last term in office should have been his last term IMHO. The idiots who put him back in the driver's seat FAFO. Let's see if they join the resistance. Also, I'm wondering about job prospects for the freed JAN6 thugs.

They are in for difficult days ahead; "Like nobody's seen before," one of Frankenstein Trump's favorite expressions. He is a liar, an adulterer, a convicted felon, and a predator of the highest order.

Somebody should have Baker Acted him eons ago.

As his one time friend Howard Stern said "he needs a mental health Councilor". As I Psych Nurse level 3 step 8? I think he is admitable to a locked Adult Unit! Donald Is a risk to self or.otbers!! Due to his history of a 34 time convicted Felon? He may fit the Criteria for a locked Forensic criminally insane!! Tell me why not?

I think it sounds good but I'm not really in favor of bearing his actions while he is golfing all day executive time!! I'd sooner rather stop and pick up some rotten oranges not picked due to iasis.cleaning and dump the load upwind Doral! Or just park it there for a hot sun day

I hear ya. I'm a North Country Democrat myself. It's frustrating as hell tho. And the reason I'm a tiny blue dot in Clinton County is because I moved to Champlain for two yrs before moving to Canada. So my last U.S. address is where I'm stuck voting.🫤
