Predictions for Nov 3, 2026

[Lazaran]

I do tend to get that way when someone suggests I'm fooling myself, the way you did there.

Noted.

Not what I said, not what I meant, and do not put words in my mouth. Especially don't put quotation marks around something I never said.

Yep. Sensitive af…

And I was basically paraphrasing while taking some liberty with your words / opinion - because you’re either in denial, or you’re being intellectually dishonest… imho…

As for what I did say, it's true: no matter what the Dems do, the Republicans are always going to call us socialists and use their latest wedge-issues against us. It's a fool's errand to try to prevent that. What we can do is hit back. That's what El Sayed has been doing.

“There you go again”…

I'll be happy to, as soon as you do.

You do you. I’m sure as hell going to keep on keepin' on with facts & the truth - and I’m sure as hell going to keep asking you (etc) to stop when you (etc) are hurting the progressive movement and the arguments of pragmatic progressive ACTUAL Democrats.

As I said, I do not see El Sayed losing as a part of that. Talarico, maybe. Jackson perhaps, since his opponent has defied political gravity before. Peltola, since Alaska is still a red state no matter how personally popular she is. But we're not losing Michigan.

OK…

We shall see…

Weird that El Sayed needs Obama to rally the black vote in Michigan…



Meanwhile: With DonOld & the MAGAt republicans being historically unpopular and total fuck ups, you must admit that the Democrats should easily crush the republicans in this midterm election (especially considering your knowledge of the historical results of such elections). Why is that outcome NOT a foregone conclusion???



WE. KNOW. WHY.



We. Told. Them. So.

Yep. Sensitive af…

I'd could put some words in your mouth and see how you react, but that would just be sinking to your level.

And I was basically paraphrasing while taking some liberty with your words / opinion -

Then you shouldn't use quotes. Besides, your "paraphrasal" was wrong.

because you’re either in denial, or you’re being intellectually dishonest… imho…

There's nothing H about your O. It's neither humble nor honest.

“There you go again”…

Of course, when Reagan said that, he was responding to Jimmy Carter's warning that he'd try to cut Medicare if elected - and then once he was in office, he did exactly that. Heaven only knows what you're trying to prove by alluding to that of all things.

You do you. I’m sure as hell going to keep on keepin' on with facts & the truth - and I’m sure as hell going to keep asking you (etc) to stop when you (etc) are hurting the progressive movement and the arguments of pragmatic progressive ACTUAL Democrats.

Your definition of "ACTUAL Democrats" seems to be you and you alone.

Weird that El Sayed needs Obama to rally the black vote in Michigan…

Obama understands Black voters better than you do, Laz.

Meanwhile: With DonOld & the MAGAt republicans being historically unpopular and total fuck ups, you must admit that the Democrats should easily crush the republicans in this midterm election (especially considering your knowledge of the historical results of such elections). Why is that outcome NOT a foregone conclusion???

If you need to ask that, you obviously haven't looked at the Senate map. (I did say there's no chance the Dems lose the House, you know.)

WE. KNOW. WHY.

Well, I certainly do. I imagine you think Mamdani is somehow wrapped up in it.

 

[coati]

All political horse race bets are hedged, as usual.

The Republican and Democratic political parties will continue to facilitate the complete takeover of the American government by mega-corporations. The GOP will simply do so at a faster pace.

 

[ll74]

Are there Kashi numbers for whether winning Democrats will be sworn in?

 

[Lazaran]

I'd could put some words in your mouth and see how you react, but that would just be sinking to your level.

We ALL have our interpretations of others’ words / posts.

Then you shouldn't use quotes. Besides, your "paraphrasal" was wrong.

Nah. It was spot on - which is why you’re… upset…

There's nothing H about your O. It's neither humble nor honest.

It was humble & honest af.

Of course, when Reagan said that, he was responding to Jimmy Carter's warning that he'd try to cut Medicare if elected - and then once he was in office, he did exactly that. Heaven only knows what you're trying to prove by alluding to that of all things.

I was obviously being snarky - and I simply pulled a famous (infamous) line from history that suited my purposes. It didn’t matter who or what. Nothing will get through to you anyway…

Your definition of "ACTUAL Democrats" seems to be you and you alone.

I’m a gold star Democrat who has NEVER ONCE undermined the pragmatic progressive direction & platform of the Democratic Party.

Your turn. (And I challenge any other poster on this board to match my Democratic Party Bona Fides.)

Obama understands Black voters better than you do, Laz.

Non-responsive to my point.

If you need to ask that, you obviously haven't looked at the Senate map. (I did say there's no chance the Dems lose the House, you know.)

Well, I certainly do. I imagine you think Mamdani is somehow wrapped up in it.

Mandani has certainly been helpful to republicans - while his schmoozing with Trump would have been condemned by "the left" if he had been a traditional ACTUAL Democrat. (And I condemn Mamdani’s gross behavior involving Trump NOW - just as I WOULD have condemned ANY traditional ACTUAL Democrat who exhibited such gross, hypocritical / contrary behavior. See: My condemnation of Gretchen Whitmer attending an Oval Office event with Trump when her behavior was FAR LESS EGREGIOUS.)



Hope that ^ helps.

[DeluxAuto]

I predict this piece of shit will still be elected because pedo MAGAts.

 

[Hel_Books]

Consider the arc that begins with Trump befriending Jeffrey Epstein and ends with him defending Cledith Arthur.

I agree completely.

Pubs call you and your party socialist because that's what your party has become. If your leadership can't rebuff the DSA agenda then they're a complicit cowardly member of the DSA.

I don't think you know the meaning of humble.

You think saying it makes it so. You're the SkyBubble of the left.

I've certainly been looking forward to a big Dem win next week to see how the Lit deplorables react to it. Never thought I'd also be looking forward to seeing it wipe the smirk off the face of a self-righteous leftie, but here we are.

 

[Lazaran]

Get the fuck over it. I will continue to interpret your (and others’) comments as I see fit - AND use quotation marks as I see fit.

I don't think you know the meaning of humble.

You think saying it makes it so. You're the SkyBubble of the left.

I can’t do much more than humbly & honestly lay out my Democratic Party Bona Fides for others to weigh as they see fit. And others are free to counter with their own Democratic Party Bona Fides which I will weigh as I see fit.

I've certainly been looking forward to a big Dem win next week to see how the Lit deplorables react to it. Never thought I'd also be looking forward to seeing it wipe the smirk off the face of a self-righteous leftie, but here we are.

I want EVERY candidate running under the Democratic Party banner to win. I’m a pragmatic progressive, NOT a selfish member of "the left".

Abdul El Sayed has moderated his attitude, and he is saying & doing “the right things” (he’s even cavorting with - *gasp* - "establishment Democrats").

I want Abdul El Sayed to win: AND the Democratic Party may NEED him to win, as the whole Islamofaacist movement & the seriously flawed modern DSA has been a drag on the entire Democratic Party (which is ironic & infuriating, because the DSA & Islamofascists helped DonOld & the MAGAt republicans win in 2016 & 2024, respectively.

Hope that ^ helps.

If you're not willing to stop, don't expect me to stop either.

Then maybe you ought to stop whining about Dems who offer a choice, not an echo like we've been getting since Clinton. Especially not when they win.

One could just as easily argue it was pure-as-the-driven-snow liberals like yourself who refuse to bestow your blessing on anyone who doesn't check every last box that cost us those elections. And in 2000 too, which we all really should have learned from.
