  • It’s actually wild to watch how quickly the mood has been shifting since 2024.

    Now, everyone is talking about wealth disparity and all the issues that come with it. Progressive candidates are winning primaries left and right. Democrats are flipping seats at an unprecedented rate. Black voter turnout in the South has been surging since the gutting of the VRA.

    In November of 2024 the Democratic party was in shambles. Now, thanks to progressive candidates and voters, they’re actually forming an identity that isn’t just “not Republican.” They’re running on issues that benefit the common people and they’re winning.











  • There isn’t an upside. They’re just as stuck as the Democrats are. Mitch isn’t dead, he’s likely severely incapacitated. They’d love to have him on the Senate floor voting R but he isn’t healthy enough to do so, and the only way to remove a Senator is expulsion by a two-thirds vote in the Senate. That certainly wouldn’t get enough votes and, at this point, is pretty irrelevant anyway since the seat would simply remain vacant.

    But you are correct that as long as he’s ill he isn’t voting, which is a good thing, which is why there was really no need for people to be all over Andy Beshear’s nuts this past month.
