They were stripped from their families, couldn’t live in the same household, before the Dems would provide welfare benefits.  This occurred long after the second migration.  Families largely remained in tact until then no matter the unemployment rate.

Lol, what are women and children whose husbands are arrested because they deal on a block supposed To do???  Starve?

the staggering dearth of empathy and understanding of cause/effect has never been clearer than it was Today.

Racism.  These men didn’t abandon their families to do or sell drugs.  They had to leave for their families to get assistance.

You are Trumpian in your thinking.  That is, you don’t.

Pretty much every serious historian and sociologist and ALL other black experts on the black experience recognize that you’re utterly full of shit, but go off, slurpee king.

Completely aside from issues I am flabbergasted at the state of the Democratic Party.  Election before last it was “how the hell does Hillary lose to Trump?”  Even the most Trumpian were shocked.

To trump (lol) that we have this year’s House elections.  Every polling organization I checked today had the GOP ahead in the generic GOP vs Dem Polls and the most recent polling data has the GOP widening the lead after the drop in gas prices boosted the Dems a bit.

I checked 6 different leading political analysts today on the House races.  RCP, 538, Politico among them.  Everyone of the prognosticators have the GOP taking control of the House?  How does this happen in this Anti-Trump and Abortion Rights charged election atmosphere?  What are the Dems doing wrong?

Polls can move quickly.  I will be shocked as hell to find the GOP in charge of the House.  If that happens the next two years will be a blood fest among Dems to see who controls the party, liberals or progressives.

politics as sport has never been as interesting.

It's also incredibly revealing that Don refers to politics -- the practice of setting policy for human beings -- as sport.

He has the luxury to be cavalier about politics as "sport" because he's a straight, white, male, cisgendered birth-citizen who doesn't have to worry about being jailed for a miscarriage, deported for existing, denied gender-affirming care (and therefore putting his mental health in peril), shot by racist cops, or denied marriage rights by an increasingly Christo-fascist supreme court.

Haha, it's all fun to watch! Ha ha!

The answer to how the GOP may take the house is gerrymandering,  but you know this. Enjoy the party of Trump worship.

Washington Senate race now a toss up statistical tie.  Recent moving toward GOP candidate.  Polls indicate top 3 issues are economy, crime and gas prices.  Must be gerrymandering.

Would be huge upset if it swings to GOP, last GOP Senator from Wa left office in 2001.

Economy and gas prices are the same thing; FYI, it'd be amazing if literally any GOP candidate or lawmaker, anywhere, offered a single, solitary fucking solution to either.  They haven't, and they never will, because GOP candidates can do nothing but demagogue culture war issues.  They can't actually fix shit.  "Cut taxes!" ain't the cure-all they believe it is.

As for crime, you can reduce it by expanding Medicaid, so it's the GOP who loves crime:

Blue incumbent, red wave incoming; scare tactics work; we live in a country where the majority of people think a sitting president affects gas prices; Republicans are better at messaging, and their voters fall in line.

All the classics are in play. Roe doesn’t impact any of that. We’ve been hearing about an inevitable red wave since the end of 2020, so it really shouldn’t come as a surprise. Roe might help bring out more young voters than we normally see in a midterm cycle, but I do think the Dems shed some normally reliable voters during the pandemic. Lockdowns really hit people in weird ways. In Oregon, we’ve got more than our fair share of self-described liberals who voted for Kate Brown in 2018 and started calling her a fascist for not letting them eat at the fucking Olive Garden for a year, and they aren’t rushing to back to support the Dem candidate trying to succeed her. I imagine there’s similar sentiment up in Washington, given Patti Murray’s poll numbers.

Take Roe out of the equation and the Dems get Georgia-vs-Oregon slaughtered, and it certainly isn’t a get out of jail free card that’s going to make up for everything else.

Hell, they're voting Drazan now.  The pandemic straight up BROKE people.  

Brown did maybe the best job in America when it came to keeping Oregonians alive during the pandemic.  8th lowest death rate out of 50 states despite a top-25 largest city in the country and huge, rural counties that refused to abide by many guidelines.  And her reward?  being the most hate governor in the country.

You simply can't do good, because it never gets rewarded.
