AOC is not here to help. She's here to sabotage. She talks a good game but she will ALWAYS do what is most harmful to the Democratic party. That's her default setting. She doesn't really want to do her job. She just likes the spotlight. Frankly I'm looking forward to when she loses her district. That said, it did hit me today that now we can get those kids out of cages.

We can't control what the right calls us. We can only keep pointing out that it's not true. The problem is that the left keeps sabotaging us and the right will always use that. You can't keep blaming our side for the fact that Republicans want to kill us and that the socialists want to help them.

We did. That's what happened when we nominated Biden. When Biden kept saying "I beat the socialist" that's what he was doing. The Berners are losing their minds today because the truth is they wanted us to lose. BTW, when people talk about Trump getting more votes now that he did in 2016 don't discount how many of those might've come from far-lefties wanting revenge for being rejected.

It's not the fault of Democrats that this country is full of racists, sexists, and people who are happy to embrace authoritarianism. It's time for people to realize that the electorate is the problem. There isn't some magic formula that Democrats have to use that will reverse what these people want for this country. A lot of people in this country want a white nationalist country and want authoritarianism. They don't want democracy. The don't want to share this country with the rest of us. That isn't about Democratic messaging it's about the electorate. Blaming Democrats for "letting it get this close" is just another way of trying to fool ourselves. Millions of people in this country hate us and would happily kill us all if they could get away with it.

What's amazing is that the Republicans lost the House in a wave in 2018, we're about to make Trump a one-term president with Obama's VP and the GOP still could lose the Senate yet Democrats are acting like we lost. It shows how many Democrats have internalized GOP talking points and gaslighting.

I'm looking forward to having an Attorney General who is willing to fight right wing domestic terrorism.

+1 (Is that too deep a cut? 😀)

I know a lot of people expect that but there's no reason to. I think it's very possible that this race gets called by midnight EST. We may have to wait a day or two for some Senate races but even that seems less likely that it did before.

I think Martha McSally is going to have a very bad night.

That's not going to be possible now that Deutsche Bank is cutting him loose. All his creditors are going to start calling in his $421 million of debt. Not to mention, NY AG Tish James is just waiting for him to be a private citizen again so she can hit him with state charges. I could see him going into exile in Russia or Saudi Arabia but he's not really valuable to them anymore.

Lin-Manuel Miranda's father has got the right energy.

Same. They aren't heroes or saviors but I will take their help as long as they stick to going after Repubs.

The split has already happened. The "normies" have left the party and become Independents while the Republican party has turned into a QAnon/MAGA death cult.

So apparently Miles Taylor was the writer of the Anonymous op-ed in the New York Times and I couldn't care less.

I have been laughing all morning at that Omaha story. Few things are better than when MAGAts get the treatment that they wish for everybody else. I like this guy.

Yep. Him and Sheldon Adelson.

He's broke. The big money donors cut him off a long time ago. Everybody else is lining their pockets.

I refuse to subject myself to watching that Kushner interview but it's amazing how he isn't even remotely capable of pretending to be a normal human being. Ivanka can at least fake it but Jared is as cold and soulless as a serial killer, which is exactly what he is.

I'll never stop being amazed when I say this but... I agree with you. All signs point to a good outcome on 11/3. I understand why people don't believe that but I think that's PTSD from 2016.

This was the early voting line outside the Cuyahoga County BOE this morning. I have never seen anything like this. Not even when Obama was on the ticket. The people in this picture are more than a mile away from the voting location.

I've always been amazed that farmers haven't been leading the charge on climate change. After the flooding that so many plains states suffered I wonder if that will change.

Every single Repub on Twitter right now seems to be loaded on box wine and Ambien. The official GOP account thinks this is a winning message as we hit record numbers of covid infections and deaths: The guy who wanted to be president of the moon is saying this: And this crackpot thinks Joe Biden killed his wifi: These are not people who think they are winning.

I really wonder what's up with Mitch's health.

There's been a spike in activity the last few days from Bernie Sanders dead-enders and, of course, the hacks at Politico are happy to amplify it.

Damn. We need more Lesley Stahls in the press.
