It wasn’t the inevitable midterm swing of the pendulum against the party in power. Or the economy. Or even just Trump.
It was anti-establishment fury at a rigged system.
Can Democrats deliver on their promises to unrig the system? Join us on the Coffee Klatch to discuss.
Ralph Nader has an interesting take on this:
The effects of the Big Beautiful Bill are going to kick in in January, a truckload of people are going to be kicked out of Medicaid, and the Republicans are going to blame the Democrats now in charge. They’ll say “See? You voted left and now you’re worse off”. And people having the memory of a goldfish, they’ll forget who got them into that mess in the first place and they’ll blame the dem.
And so the dems should leave Jeffries and Schumer in place as sacrificial lightning rods: angry people can blame those two turds for their problems, and when the presidential race heats up, they can be removed and fresh faces put in place to rekindle the hope.
Nader has an interesting theory and plan there. But I don’t think I can stomach those two fuckheads in the house much longer…
