Replying to @chrislhayes
The Democrats biggest error since Newt Gingrich came to power is treating Republicans like moral actors who play by the rules. Republicans will do anything to retain power-lie, cheat, steal, kill. Democrats need to stop caving to them. We get burned every single time.

Democrats didn’t just win the Senate and Governor’s races in Texas. -We’re likely going to win ALL 17 of Texas’s statewide races. -We also won the Texas House. -We also won the Texas Senate. -We also won all 5 of the U.S. House seats they gerrymandered. This is a bloodbath.

After decades of being told to fear Muslims, two Muslim politiciansβ€”Zohran Mamdani and Abdul El-Sayedβ€”are now symbols of hope for millions of Americans. β€œThe irony is almost too perfect to be true!”

For Chuck Schumer to even SUGGEST that Trump might "change his ways" to work with him and the Democrats is ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE! Democrats like him are the REASON that The Trump Treason Train has RUN AMERICA OFF ITS TRACKS for the past 10 years! Both 2016 and 2024 were RIGGED for Trump and some GOP members of Congress, but Democratic leadership collectively decided NOT TO CONTEST! This is why, even though I voted for Harris in 2024, I would NEVER vote for her, AGAIN! Even when Democrats held the EXECUTIVE BRANCH and the SENATE, during Biden's administration, Trump and his cronies were allowed to CONTINUE their crime spree without ANY CONSEQUENCES! We cannot allow corporate Democrats to FUCK UP this opportunity to PUT AMERICA BACK ON ITS TRACKS! We need new LEADERSHIP!
Oh, Chuck, to even suggest in theory that Trump might change his ways to work with you and the Democrats is patently absurd. Please find a successor who is living in the same reality as all of us out here begging for action and accountability.

Montana voters approved a ballot measure to ban corporations, nonprofits and labor unions from doing business in the state if they made political contributions. State's rights v. Citizens United. Will be fun to see SCOTUS deal with that one. Bravo Montana!!!

On CNN, David Axelrod, Kasie Hunt, and Van Jones are already talking about breaking the GOP fever and coming together, coming back to civility. Completely misreading the moment. People are mad, they want the GOP to be stopped, they don't want "a middle ground"
