I donโt usually try to give Democrats constructive advice, but they could shock the world and lock in a massive amount of independent votes and probably some moderate republicans into perpetuity by taking a route that they have never taken before.
Imagine if Democrats actually attempt to work with the Trump administration and develop common sense solutions for the problems that face our country.
Imagine if they actually attempted to show that they are reasonable and willing to negotiate with a republican president who will otherwise veto or ignore what appears to be a completely vindictive approach.
Imagine if they decided to forego the โscorched earthโ tactics from the recent past that only divided us further while getting nothing done.
But they wonโt.
It appears the only lesson they learned is that they didnโt go hard enough in the past. It looks like we are headed back towards even more lawfare, impeachments, investigations, subpoenas, etc., not to mention civil unrest.
It looks like we are headed back towards a completely dysfunctional federal government that gets absolutely nothing done for the American people except creating chaos.
It looks like we are headed back towards a โcivil warโ style political climate where the only goal is the total destruction of the opposition, which includes the President, his family, his administration, and anyone who supported him.
Unfortunately, I donโt think the democrat base would tolerate it. Additionally, and probably most importantly, there any ZERO voices whatsoever in democrat leadership on any level that seem even slightly interested in anything except all-out war.
Just in case you think Iโm wrong about the Democrat strategy, this is just one of many comments like this over the last 48 hours.
This is Gene Wu, the new Majority Leader of the Texas House of Representatives.
Gene hates white people, aka โthe oppressorsโ.
I hope @JulioForRGV stops @GeneforTexas from enacting policies that target all the white liberals that voted all you commies into office.

The biggest reason democrats love controlling Congress is because they have mastered the art of the shakedown. โDonate to us and play ball or we will put you out of business!โ It is the telltale sign of tyrants. They canโt seize private companies (yet), but they make you hurt enough to fold. Jamie Raskin has clearly never had a good ass beating, but it never too late.
We are about to enter a period of civilization where โpolicyโ is dictated entirely by the logic of โzero-sum survivalโ.
This occurs when both sides view each other as an existential threat.
Compromise is viewed as surrender.
Dialogue is replaced by propaganda and perpetual trolling.
Rage becomes the only shared identity.
Figured it was time to switch up the wardrobe and accessories to more appropriately reflect living in Texas. ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ข
Thanks @Shilllin for the template.

Woke up to the realization that democrats elected a member of the Muslim brotherhood who said America deserved 9/11; and a โGod is non-binaryโ, six-gender, pro-abortion, pro-trans kids, anti-capitalist, commie freak to the U.S. Senate.
Welcome to the era of rage.
I didnโt think it would be this bad tonight. But in all honesty, itโs all about 2028. And people might not want to hear it right now, but this actually helps Republican chances to hold the White House in 2028. Call it a bullish dip. The entire country will receive a healthy dose of reality over the next two years.
Happy to be a part of election night coverage at our local CBS affiliate tonight. valleycentral.com
All eyes on Texas! ๐
I wish liberal women supported Haley Stevens for killing a senatorial campaign the same way they supported Lindsay Clancy for killing her three children.

Republicans vote late.
Republicans vote on election day.
Republicans do not participate in polling nearly as much as Democrats.
Political operatives, campaign, strategists, Democrats, the media, and the polling outfits, all know this.
We are dealing with an ecosystem that uses the polls to maximize engagement, clicks, donations, use of paid professionals.
CNN: Republicans outperform final senate poll averages in Trump states, by an average of 4.1 points
If that pattern continues in 2026:
Ohio: ๐ต Dem +4 -> ๐ด GOP +0.1
Michigan: ๐ต Dem +4 -> ๐ด GOP +0.1
Alaska: ๐ต Dem +3 -> ๐ด GOP +1
Texas: ๐ต Dem +3 -> ๐ด GOP +1
Iowa: ๐ต Dem +1 -> ๐ด GOP +3
Bernie Sanders endorsed Julio Salinas for Texas House District 41. Yesterday Bernie showed you what that endorsement really means. ๐
Why does a socialist senator from Vermont care so much about a wealth tax in California?
Because California is the test lab. Whatever they take there, they try to take nationwide next.
The plan never changes. First the billionaires, because nobody feels sorry for them. Then the millionaires. Then small business owners. Then YOU.
Once government gets used to seizing what you own, it never stops.
Hidalgo County, this is who Julio Salinas is running with. @JulioForRGV
Say no to socialism. Say no to Bernie's candidate. ๐บ๐ธ
Texas Republicans head into Election Day with the advantage. ๐บ๐ธ
A record 6.8 million Texans voted early, already more than all of early voting in 2022. And the two parties' bases are almost dead even.
๐ By past primary history:โจโข Democratic primary voters are 33.5% of early voters.โจโข Republican primary voters are 32.8%.โจโข The Democrats' edge is down to about 43,800 votes, from roughly 124,000 a week ago.
๐ Here's the key: Democrats have already used up more of their base. About 69.5% of Dem primary voters have voted, compared with 63.2% of GOP primary voters.
That leaves about 1.31 million Republican primary voters who haven't voted yet, compared with about 1.0 million Democrats. That's more than 300,000 extra Republicans still waiting to vote on Tuesday.
If they show up, and we hold our own with the record one-third of voters who are swing voters, Greg Abbott and Ken Paxton finish ahead.
Polls are open Tuesday, Nov 3, from 7 AM to 7 PM. Vote, and bring three friends. ๐ณ๏ธ
