Just because one party is made up of fascists does not absolve us of the responsibility to hold the other party accountable for its inaction, neglect, dismissiveness, or lack of courage and strategy. That means holding Democrats accountable.
That’s too bad. Maybe if David Ellison and his father weren’t such fascists they’d be doing better.

How about LEADING voters by telling them why you are standing firm on the basic rights of every person and cutting through the propaganda bullshit??
Spanberger won 95% voters who said support for trans rights in society had not gone far enough and 89% who said it has been about right — but she also won nearly a quarter of the half of Virginia voters who said support for trans rights has “gone too far.” 19thnews.org/2025/11/elec...

brb, further updating my priors that Silver is a dweeb who excelled at doing a more rigorous analysis of election data compared to the average analyst (who was doing the equivalent of clacking rocks together in hopes of making a bigger rock) but has no understanding of social dynamics or people.

This has not gotten much attention, but it should.
Virginia under Youngkin returned to an insanely harsh system where people convicted of any felony lose their voting rights FOR LIFE.
Dems' win this week mean they'll get to advance a constitutional amendment to end lifetime disenfranchisement.

There is no reason to fund this government as it starves millions of Americans, invades U.S. cities, disappears people, strangles universities, acts as a pay-for-pay operation for the president, guts environmental rules, commits war crimes, kills foreign aid, and dismantles public health.

Shame @chrismurphyct.bsky.social it only counts when you act, not when it’s just talk.
That said, the D caucus, including Murphy etc., is willing to fold for a 1-year ACA subsidy extension. Schumer isn't going rogue
