Everyone needs to know Nashville is a Dem stronghold. Has been for decades.

And even that might not overcome the fact that the district is drawn to ensure that Republicans win forever.

See, you say that, but you're pushing the proven-losing-strategy of trying to run Diet Republicans. You're not going to get R voters to flip, you need non-voters to care. That's especially true in TN, where the districts are hilariously gerrymandered and participation is heavily discouraged.

So it sounds like you might not be familiar with how the districts are set up in TN. She did as well as anyone could have in a district created specifically to split Nashville. Ain't no one in the world getting excited to vote for a centrist democrat, and you need excitement in a place like that.

Some did and nobody believed them and nothing happened to the people responsible. I can see why others might not want to speak up after that.

When the party in power says "oh but the economy is great" and points at the stock market while you can't afford groceries, it's not doing them any favors. You can't eat the stock market.

Both have done that, so it's maybe not out of the question. What do you think is more likely?

It's also on the USDA site with an update date of October 31 2025 which is about as direct a source as you can get: www.fns.usda.gov/snap/ebt/ret...

Watch their animation here! :D

Seems like others have told you why it's a bad idea, but another point: even if the poorest among us did pay taxes, filing taxes is often a complicated process. The harder it is to do something, the less people will be able to do it. This impacts people with disabilities more than most.

Yeah that was the goal for sure, but they kicked in on the enshittification too soon.
