I'm a senior (ouch) citizen and I'll be 75 next year. I hate to wish the rest of my life away, but I can't wait until November, 2028. We've got to unseat Dictator Dump (unless we can get rid of him before that). Still don't trust what he and his nazi/communist party might do and I'm afraid that he'll have his dictatorship totally intact then.

There are no guarantees of any sort of Democratic wave. There should have been such a wave in 2024 when the choice for not voting meant a victory for Donald J Trump. If turnout for these midterms is not utterly massive, then Trumpism prevails because the election will never be certified. Every caring American must vote, and get their ballot in, meaning if you get a mail ballot, deposit it at a polling place so that the USPS cannot deny your franchise. Know that this criminal regime and its toadies in red states will stop at nothing to stay in power. Remember the Sixth of January!!

I hope Democratic voters will not split their votes over their single issue - that will not work to take our country back from this rotting destructive trump/republican regime - they are the communists here - taking away yours and my rights and freedoms - just like in Russia, China, North Korea. That's true communism. Democratic Socialists are NOT communists, and Socialism is not communism.

Look what rfk has done to our food inspection system!!! Can’t remember when we had so many recalls!

Vaccines for children are way down. RFK brought back measles, parasites, and a further decline in women's/newborn health.

Sara P's avatar

Yes, we need to vote for the Dem that won in the primary…. No conversation necessary. No Nitpicking, Cohesiveness. They will always vote for the people and not for the regime.

Paris Rose's avatar

This!!!! Exactly. We need to spread this around. Everybody needs to be reminded. California should have done that with our governor. The rest should’ve bowed out. I really lost my respect for Katie Porter.

Jean Conley's avatar

Bingo! Hope that even though there a many Independents out there who, although they won't vote republiCRAP, there might be enough of them who will ruin it for Democrat victories. They need to weigh their choices very carefully. Do THEY (and us) want to lose to republiCRAPS again? (A split vote in the party will definitely do that.)

We wuz screrwed. Did Trump admit Musk stole Pennsylvania?

Did Musk admit it?

Renee Goodman's avatar

Daniel, the Muskrat had the 2024 election stolen!!!

Connie Larsen's avatar

Deport musk, thiel!!!!!

Karen Rivera's avatar

It is astonishing to think how much Muskrat must have spent. Who got the money to make it happen? When Donny started his acceptance speech he sounded surprised. He knew it shouldn't have happened.

Steve Boverie's avatar

Musk donated $250 million to trump’s campaign and was rewarded with running DOGE, these actions hurt both US citizens and foreign people who needed food and support. Musk used people to prove his actions led to children dieing and a few showed that child deaths went up as a result of his actions. Musk mostly used DOGE to weaken or close out the agencies that were investigating his companies or were fining them.

Steve Boverie's avatar

We need to add the Independent voters to vote against the Republicans as well. The Independents may not like the Democratic policies but hopefully they dislike the Republican policies more.

Suel J's avatar

Please, please vote!!

Patricia Davis's avatar

If the Dems do take the house and senate, they’d better show they’re willing to do something with it. They can’t sit back and do nothing. They’re saying they can do better, so they’d better prove it. And they need to make efforts to build bi-partisanship over issues they care about. We have to end the us vs. them and unite the country again. Otherwise, Dems will lose the majority in 2028. That’s what usually happens. The country wants change, Dems get elected, we get more of the-same-as-before, and Dems get voted out. Dems don’t want to shake the tree and upset their big-money donors, but they can’t do that this time. They must lead the charge for big reforms starting with getting dark money out of politics and outlawing super-pacs.

Free4all's avatar

They need to protect the American people from another d j fn t! Every single thing he is needs to be disqualifying! No PDFs, no felons, no rapists, no convictions what so ever!! Well maybe a traffic violation?? I mean, at this point a realtor has more fiduciary responsibility than the president! Sorry not sorry, we are taking the trash out for good! That means no more trash going in! Oh and don’t forget to codify ROE for women’s healthcare! If we are worried about the birth rate make sure parents can afford to procreate! Make sure families can bond properly after birth for mental health of the children! Come on DEMOCRATS we got this! 🔵

Lee Lenard's avatar

Oligarchs and AIPAC own so many of the “Democrat Establishment “ that even with a few new faces, nothing will happen. They will not shake the tree!

Linda Eriksson's avatar

There are more of “we the people” than those who try to use their money to manipulate our government, our country and our lives. Many vs money - I’ll bet on the will of the many every time!

Patricia Davis's avatar

I would like to bet on the many, but I live in Texas where the many have been so brainwashed by the rich and powerful, they’re too afraid to NOT vote the way they’ve been taught. And when they do, things stay nearly the same as before. So they quit voting altogether and the rich and powerful stay in power.

It’s a vicious cycle that’s been going on for almost 40 years here. So the top priority for Dems must be:

1. Economy

2. Healthcare

3. Election reform

4. Judicial reform

They must be vocal about it and use social media and independent news outlets to get out the message. They have to break into the far-right echo chambers. And they have to reach across the aisle and get their republican counterparts on board with their plans.

The division has to stop.

Lee Lenard's avatar

Same from another Red State, although most of the brainwashing comes from fundamentalist religious pulpits with Fox entertainment as their source.

The social media is awash this morning with continuous post of how Biden has driven up inflation so much they could no longer regularly eat meat. Trump their savior has come thru for them like he promised. Meat prices are going to drop by 25%.

I can only imagine what the “prayers sound like this morning in the fundamentalist white Christian churches “….and we have one on every corner.

Patricia Davis's avatar

The religious pulpits are a BIG problem in Texas. Just read this by Katie Phang about DT’s latest ploy to win the midterms. The American beef industry is a political tool for him. I just hope cattle ranchers are aware of all this and don’t just vote the way their preacher tells them they should.

Wow. That is so awful. Churches should be taxed. They are just a money generating scheme, especially the MAGA churches.

Patricia Davis's avatar

There are tax exemptions for churches, but also rules they have to follow to keep those exemptions. One is they aren’t supposed to electioneer, which is the same thing as telling your congregation how to vote. They’re supposed to lose their protected religious organization/church exemption if they do. All they need to do is enforce the law. Although to enforce it, you have to have someone willing to report it AND present conclusive evidence, so it’s largely unenforceable.

Connie Larsen's avatar

Yes! Churches s/b taxed. Especially, the trump ass kissing congregations!

Connie Larsen's avatar

Unbelievable how all the 🍊🫏💋ers can’t quit blaming President Biden! Such ignorance by the rethuglikkkrussians in congress!!

Suel J's avatar

Sure "meat from unnamed sources" (DJT refused) that is questionably inspected. Twenty five percent down from who's and what price?? How do our cattle people feel about trump undercutting what prices they can charge?? I won't be buying ANY of it.

And DJT refusing to name the source(s)?? What the fucks that about??

Connie Larsen's avatar

Put paxton out to pasture! As well, as cruz,abbott, patrick! What a bunch of lieing, grifting, 🍊🫏💋ers!!!

Free4all's avatar

They are not owned, no one is owned! Just because people use help to get elected DOES NOT mean they OWN that vote in congress! How Congress works sir, we the people, for the people, by the people, not we the people, for the people, by the people, eh, unless ai pac or a super donor buys my vote! No no no, not how that works! When we learn better we do better! We are better than that corrupt thinking! Bottom line if you do not do what you are elected to do, you out! Don’t need donors now! Campaign reform is first thing to happen. Level the playing field there too! Gotta happen! No more unelected e boys gonna run this country ever again!

Lee Lenard's avatar

They are owned. They know what is right and wrong. Many of the congressmen and senators know what their constituents along with the citizens at large want and need and they personally agree; but yet cannot vote for the constituents, citizens and even themselves;

THATS BEING OWNED! !

arne link's avatar

I have to disagree. We must not give in before the election.

Karen Rivera's avatar

Exactly - there was a saying I heard, "don't go to the funeral before the day of the funeral". Live and take care of what needs to be done. Don't give in to the dread or we really are sunk.

Fred Jonas's avatar

Ms Davis, I feel the same way you do, and I also realize Dems are between a rock and a hard place. The obvious first move, whether Congressional Dems do it, or the Executive branch does it, is to jettison the clown. The problem is that the result of that move is that we wind up with JD. It's unclear to me that that's better. Of course if we jettison the clown, and JD, and Dems win even just the House, then #3 is likely to be vastly better than Mikey Johnson, so we can normalize and civilize this system. It's just that it'll take some time. And it depends on the Senate being willing to convict, if the first mechanism is impeachment. If it's the 25th Amendment, it can be much quicker, but again, we need the right willing group. You don't need me to remind you that the House impeached the clown twice before early '21, but McConnell corralled the Senate, and said he didn't care what the House did, because the Senate wasn't going to convict. Which they didn't.

Lee Lenard's avatar

Don’t you just love ole McConnell. No greater damage to this country than ole Mitch! Anyone seen him lately?

Fred Jonas's avatar

I cannot tell you how many times I have said that McConnell has committed more damage and evil than anyone. I'm glad not to see him. As someone said recently, that's one less R vote in the Senate. He stuck us with the clown, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett.

Vicki, MSN's avatar

Patricia, we have fundamental value differences in the electorate. People who fracked their land and neighbors lost their water. Oklahoma has been so drained of oil, clean water turned to poison water, that clean drinking water is at risk and small earthquakes are common. For 250 years, women are chattel, black and brown folk are 'to be used for cheap labor, black men imprisoned for decades due to white human fear of the retribution we whites actually deserve!' And, how many poor European whites sailed to the US, to halt their own slave, vassal-serf relations? Then, killed Native Americans to just shy of genocide, and joined the black African slave trade, which besides natural resource exploitation is the foundation of US ' get on your knees, there goes a dollar bill!' Castine Maine historical society just publicized their research that in fact SLAVING was the big money maker here in 1700s. We must regionalize the US, allowing consequences, then seek accountability for the death making decisions of a Richy Rich and the Corporations. Red states have destroyed their landscapes, especially near minorities and now want to destroy all public lands and educated, Blue states, which have also succumbed to Corporate myths of personhood, since the late 1800s lie of a court decision enabling the fundamental shift from life being a central value to death by GREED and the mental illnesses of addiction to money and OCD to gold.

Patricia Davis's avatar

You are right. Greed over loving your neighbor. That’s the whole problem. Greed for money, land, resources. The list goes on and on. And we do deserve retribution. But we are afraid of it. Perhaps we should be.

OR. We become the ‘good’ neighbor and change our behavior. Show contrition and make restitutions. Enact the ERA and finally add it to our constitution. It has been ratified, but never officially added. That’s a first step. But a necessary one.

Enact a NATIONAL minimum wage that keeps up with inflation. Revisit it every two years to make sure it is. And create a national healthcare system that anyone can join through their employers. Or do Medicare for all. Healthcare should not put people in financial distress, especially the elderly and children. And make childcare and education changes so that families can afford to work and provide for their families and children aren’t left home alone. It’s time to end the latch-key kids epidemic that started in the 90s when Congress decided that women were having babies to make more money so they ‘reformed’ welfare. And women who do unpaid labor get social security credit for their work so they are eligible to receive benefits, not just spousal benefits, based on their entire work history.

And of course, protect the environment and the natural world. It keeps us alive and healthy. So, no more passes for polluters and corporations. Billionaires pay their fair share of taxes. No loopholes. Off-shore accounts count. We don’t get better until we rebuild our middle class and eliminate poverty. We are the wealthiest country in the world. Hungry children and families, homeless veterans and families is shameful.

So yeah. There’s sooo much work to do. And right now, NO ONE is doing it.

We DO have the Centrist CORPORATE Democratic Politicians who take money from AIPAC & other PACS, so they will be voting for what these PAC DONORS want….

Which means it WILL BE harder to overturn CITIZENS UNITED & to get the big money players (Israel & Billionaires) OUT of our government….

Hakeem Jeffries & Chuck Schumer are NOT strong leaders.

They need to 110% on board with the Progressive Democrats who are winning & not play into dividing the Democratic Party by the Centrist Democratic Politicians.

Look at HOW Jeffries & Schumer dealt with Mamdani:

Hakeem Jeffries took nearly 4 months to endorse Zohran Mamdani & only did so just before early voting began in October 2025.

Chuck Schumer NEVER endorsed Mamdani during the mayoral race & declined to support Mamdani, his party's nominee, even by Election Day!!

They ARE the DIVIDING force behind our Party & its Elections…!

I was so hopeful the day before the last election. Somehow on election day, I had a bad feeling that was justified.

I don’t want to hear about how we are going to have a blue wave and be disappointed again

We each have our Vote - our most valuable possession. If everyone who says they are fed up with the Clown Show and nothing being done, We The People can make it happen. Then we start to work righting the wrongs by letting those who we elect know what we expect from them.

You must repeat that Trump with help from Musk stole his last election by withholding mail in ballots surreptitiously. Now he wants to do the same to keep Democrats from winning.

“I will instruct post masters not to count any ballot received after polls close”

In 2008, and now, I lived/live in two different states, in areas each about 70% Republican. What I noticed in 2008 in the prior state was the sudden disappearance of R bumper stickers from doctors' cars at the hospital where I worked. In this new area, what I noticed July 4 was about 1/4 of the US flags flying on homes than in years previous. Sometimes it's what you _don't_ see or hear that's the big clue.

Complacency replaced by courage to find our voices. Show up at town halls, use the phone. Even if you only get to leave a message, they know the Constituency is paying attention. The rest of that is, Democrats need to offer the voters better platforms than we've been seeing for a long time now.
