Former Trump campaign chairman and White House chief strategist Steve Bannon told his podcast viewers that Republicans should take Tuesday night’s losses to heart, saying: “The midterms start tonight, and the warning signs are flashing.” He observed that “Democrats just flipped two Georgia commissioners,” marking “their first statewide wins in 30 years.”
Far-right influencer Mike Cernovich (who spawned the “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory) tweeted: “Ted Cruz and Mark Levin are walking Trump into impeachments and then prison. 2026 will be a blood bath.” MAGA podcaster Jack Posobiec likewise warned that “2026 will be worse if we don’t course-correct.”
We can spend 80 hours a week from now until the midterms, promoting progressives. The question is what we should do when those leftists don’t actually appear on the ballot. Until the DNC realizes centrist candidates can’t win a general election, it doesn’t really matter what we do in the primaries.
When there are no progressives to vote for, rejecting their garbage candidates is the only path to progress.
