I sadly suspect the blue wave for midterms will just be a blue ripple. Unless Trump does something so outrageous to persuade his 2024 voters that Republicans aren’t fit, I largely see the House and Senate being the same. Only small gains in the House

Agreed. The Democratic Party needs to actually be progressive instead of just moderate at best.

well there’s the tariffs, Epstein files, DOGE cuts, inflation, unemployment, no major wars ended, and expiration of ACA subsidies, so I don’t know how they could recover unless Dems manage to fumble messaging again (which is quite possible)

The elections are already rigged, there won’t be a blue wave because multiple red states have already created nonexistent seats to outpace the dems in 2026 and federal election officials have already outlined plans to ensure republican victories

At this point Dems are known for fumbling even against the most abysmal opponents. The Democratic party is a mess and is too divided within itself

Mamdani is a prime example of how the way should run campaigns in my opinion. And the biggest joke is that’s ALSO how Trump ran his campaign originally in 2016 and won. Democratic party gotta take notes
