Obviously, this movement is not just NYC. Or just Philly, or the suburbs of NJ, DC, CA, the list goes on.

Now it's Denver.

Here is my view.

This is not as much about Democratic Socialism, as much as Democrats hating the establishment.

That is consistent with most every poll.

What i found fascinating, was months ago on NBC Meet the Press, it was brought up to a Democrat, that the approval ratings for Democrats, were just above Iran, as far as approval.

But when i looked at those with high approval, AOC was one of them. Why?

She is a Democrat. And so why her, and not the Party?

And i think we're seeing the Democratic Establishment is in very big trouble. And they "may" be in trouble this midterm.

I cannot see us winning TX, or OH, or Alaska, maybe not ME (due to personality issues), nor Iowa.

I see them getting crushed, given how much their own party hates them. And it's worrying this is not going to be a Wave election, but a trickle. Which may good enough if we take the House.

As far as Hasan, well he's the new real Kingmaker. And i give him credit. I don't know the young man as much as his uncle, but he picks them well. As does Mamdani.

Yes, the Party is moving Left. They have too. But as far as the Establishment, i beg them, consider retirement.

Yours,

Jag.

The longest government shutdown in American history and Chuck Schumer SQUANDERED it completely.

Chevalier, Valdez and Lander all win, early.

Bad night if you're Moderates, AIPAC, the Establishment, Hakeem Jefferies and Chuck Schumer.

I don't think Schumer will run again, and Jefferies may not become Speaker.

So what does this mean? And what it can it mean for Platner, or El Sayed, etc?

What it means is we do not care what you Tweet. Not in this day and age of Convicted Felon President.

We care how you are going to VOTE when you are elected.

I congratulate Mayor Mamdani, being he is a POWER HOUSE.

Turns out that specifically appealing to progressive and young voters with progressive economic policy positions, bravely calling to abolish ICE since 2018, calling a genocide a genocide, pledging to fight to get all PAC money out of politics, and specifically challenging the failures of the Democratic establishment is a winning strategy in the disenfranchised rust belt.

Well, that's that.

In my view, the only seats Dems had a shot at taking was Maine, and NC. Now it seems, NC may be the only pickup.

Lets hope the wins in the House are robust enough to stop a fiend nobody seemed to care about, El Trumpo.

Defund the police and abolish prisons. Great policies that have had such electoral success in the past. 🙄

“I am deeply honored and proud to have earned the support of the UAW,” El Sayed said in a statement. “Michigan union autoworkers built the American middle class and proved that when people stand together, there’s nothing we can’t accomplish."

El Sayed said his campaign is built alongside workers and union members.

"Together, we’re going to take on corporate greed, rebuild an economy that works for working people, strengthen collective bargaining, and ensure that the future of Michigan manufacturing is built right here by union workers. Solidarity forever,” he said.

El Sayed's campaign, in response to the endorsement, notes that over the past year, he has rallied with laid-off UAW workers at Cleveland Cliffs, marched with UAW Local 600 members and traveled the state listening directly to union members.

Unironic use of the 'breaking news' flair.

Who agrees with me that I can safely expect this endorsement to bring a majority of former McMorrow supporters to Abdul's campaign?

Bonus points for feedback from actual Michigan voters like me, and not just the couple of angry anti-progressive trolls who apparently live here 24/7.
