My local protest had, easily, twice the turnout as June.
And a lot of Republicans were there. November is going to be a bloodbath for the red party. (Just wish it were possible to elect actual progressive Dems.)
I expected the place I went to have like maybe twenty people and there ended up being hundreds. This is in a deeply red area. We got so many cheers and honks of support from people in traffic. Like it was non-stop horns the whole time. It was only an hour long protest, but it was so incredible. I spoke to a group of 5 protestors who used to be MAGA, but realized they were wrong. They said they were protesting to try to change the minds of the people they used to be like and to make up for helping bring about the meds we're all in. The whole thing made me a lil hopeful for the future and I was riding the good mood from it all the way through Sunday.
Don’t forget about the primaries! See if there are any progressive candidates running in the dem primaries on your ballot. Vote for them in the primaries even if you don’t think they have a shot. Even if they don’t win, a close race could be a sign to the establishment dem that things are changing and if they want to keep getting elected (to collect their bribes) then they need to change their platform. Plus every vote for a progressive candidate encourages them to keep fighting the good fight. If you have the time and resources, volunteering if also really good, but obviously not everyone can
All this being said though, yeah I still wish there were just more good candidates
Maybe that'll work locally, but Dems rig their national primaries.
They said that during the 2 last midterms, too. I'm not certain.
Oh I am.
Donald's candidates have lost every election in 2025 and 2026, most by double digits, in both red and blue states. The majority of these losses occurred in districts he won by double digits in 2024.
And he's doubling down on unpopular governance.
He's so unpopular they can't even gerrymander because they can't adequately project where it will help them.
