    Idk why anyone thinks 2026 isn’t already for all intents and purposes over. Watch even this year, Virginia is going to go deep red, free and fair elections in the United States are done. You want republicans out of Congress, you work to get 20 million or so Americans on the national mall. Anything else at this point is just performative nonsense.

    Like bro already said all blue states would disappear next year in a “big surprise.”

      2026 isn’t over. But relying on free and fair elections is foolish when Trump is in control of the process.

      The system is fucked. We can’t rely on the system to save us. We’d better be making other plans.

      We’ve had multiple special elections already this year. Dems have had some massive overperformances in some of them.

      For instance, Iowa saw a Trump+21 district state senate distict flip

      Virginia had special elections earlier in January where dems had a couple of point overperformance compared to harris

      Stop doing Musk’s and Trump’s work for him and claim things are over before they’re over. All this does is create cynicism and apathy that play straight into his power

      Join on the streets too and vote in every damn election. They want you doing neither, so do both

        And how much has that swung control to the Democrats? Because if it matters, the outcome might be different.

      Agreed. Some combination Musk, Putin, Thiel, and Vance hacked the last election. If they have another one, it will be hacked as well.
