"Democrats have reason to be optimistic, but headaches could be waiting if they win the midterms" Thanks, CNN. You might want to mention that the total destruction of American democracy could be waiting if they lose. https://www.cnn.com/2026/10/14/politics/democrats-senate-candidates-midterms?cid=ios_app

  • @samlitzinger@journa.host Garbage article. It is guaranteed there will be issues anyway that will take much time to clean up.

    @samlitzinger@journa.host is basically every headache they are referrring to basically Trump throwing a fit, and being an obstacle for any substantive change they want to make? Seriously, can you imagine Trump saying owe, my side lost, I guess I have to work with democrats to make our country better. naw, he's gonna throw a massive tantrum...

  • The fact that dissent extends only to symbolic matters suggests "American democracy" is just a Potemkin Village, and has been for some time.

  • @samlitzinger@journa.host We never had democracy here. And I’m not certain that Dems winning means anything aside from the slide into destruction will simply take a few months longer. The Dems have no actual policies and no ability to implement anything. I doubt that a fully Dem Senate and House would be willing to oust Trump. He’s too good a foil for their campaign literature.
