2026 US Midterms Megathread 🇺🇸 Dem Primaries: GA & SD (7/28), MI (8/04)
I desperately want her to win, because Wisconsin Dems have a real shot at a trifecta this year, and it would be monumental for them to have one (so much good could come from it, basically be the next Minnesota). I just think there's a lot of weird squishy moderates who would probably be fine voting for someone who supports M4A, but hears "defund the police" and clutches their pearls and runs away in tears and votes for the republicans. It's one issue that I (irl) have truly learned that's broke through to a lot of people offline (sadly along with being very anti trans too).

Imma keep it a buck yall (keep it 100): Hongs interview with Fox News was not good at all. I love her policy positions, I love what she stands for, and it's amazing that she's the only candidate who's actually addressing something that's impacting people that both parties are trying to ignore (data centers)… But in a state like WI, defund the police is an electoral loser, and if she doesn't support it in 2026, she needs to forcefully come out against her past stances on it. Like, now… I'm not being unreasonable, I just want her to win. Especially because Tom Tiffany isn't some juggernaut of a candidate, he's a pretty bad back bencher

I think they're the only 2 candidates worth even remotely voting for (and yes, I'm aware of Ossoff and his…past stances). The rest of the true options are horrific and non starters, or are just proven losers (hello Mamala)

Some of these polls I believe are way too rosy for Dems. If they're the same around mid September/early October, than the GOP needs to be in full blown panic mode because they are BAD. Like 2010/1994/2008 levels of bad

The rich can't buy people (and NYers) into liking Schumer. He's hated pretty broadly across the entire Dem base right now. AOC has the clout among the base to easily take him down. Granted, I trust US. Midwesterners to not be swayed by $$$ and bullshit ads compared to some or you coastal girlies (no offense), but nobody with a working brain cell wants Schumer in power any longer. AOC is hot, young, charismatic and has great policies. I think there will be better times for her than 28, but if she runs I'll happily vote for her anyway

Underestimate us Midwesterners at your own peril, but unlike a lot of those shiny blue states that a lot of people rave about (Cali and VA in particular): we love populism. Running left wins here. Neoliberalism is a dead end street. There's a reason Obama cleaned up in the Midwest in 08, and why Hillary flopped in the primaries (and general hihi) here

Everyone wants to wake up to the news I (got off work) woke up to The funny thing is: McMarrow was a much stronger candidate than Stevens, but the establishment hitched their wagon on her. Though I fear her old social media posts dragging Michigan woulda sunk her eventually. Still a thousand times better than ugly ogre Stevens

We keep waiting for Blue Texas to happen, but like fetch, it isn't going to happen. The biggest thing going is that Talarico is an actually good candidate, and Paxton is atrocious, and the national environment is very very blue. That's the only reason it's competitive right now

And adding to this: republicans don't have an alternative "Dobbs decision" to save their ass (like it did for Dems in 22) and piss off a lot of people that were otherwise gonna vote for them, but changed their mind. The one thing they can possibly do to mitigate the damage is to end the war in Iran and stop gas prices from rising any further, but to most people the insane COL for groceries and everything else has sealed their fate. This country sadly is still full of people who want to love or like Trump, but the living conditions right now have made that basically impossible outside of his die hard cult supporters, a lot of normies would probably turn a blind eye if gas was cheaper though.
