I really like how Suozzi handled this race. Americans need to see Democrats standing up, challenging the lies and obfuscation, while offering solutions. I clearly see a Blue Wave building via grassroots. I can’t wait until Democrats start pointing out the deregulation of child labor laws to address the loss of migrant workers in Red states.
While in normal times I would be vehemently opposing the border bill that was negotiated, the rejection of the best deal the Republicans will ever see because Trump ordered them to needs to be the cudgel Democrats use to pound every Republican in every race from now to November. Every time one of these MAGA assholes opens their mouth about the invading horde, they need to be called out. Every time one of these MAGA assholes says "border", they need to be called out. Suozzi was right to hammer his opponent over the chaos in the House and the unwillingness of any of them, up to and including MAGA Mike and Dementia J. Trump to actually solve this, or any other problem.
Great comment, but the real gem of this is Dementia J Trump. 😁 The republicans are burying themselves with their own shovels. All the Democrats have to do is exactly what Suozzi did, and keep throwing extra dirt on their graves.
Suozzi did exactly what every Democratic candidate and current Democratic officer needs to do - call out the MAGA B.S. and offer the solutions MAGA turned down and point to what a MAGA America would like vs a Democracy.
The coverage of Suozzi’s win, even on MSNBC, is almost bizarre. It’s almost like they are saying we didn’t win. What are they doing and why? Since we now live in an alternate universe where Putin is a hero there is no telling. Thanks for bringing it up.
Legacy media is failing us big time. The “both sides” crap, horse race polls, and the false equivalents are misleading at best, and contributing to the likelihood that the US
will slide right into fascism, at worst.
Whoever owns the NYT and WaPost are in the “leopards won’t eat my face party” and don’t even know it.
NPR website had a good analysis of the Suozzi win. Listed takeaway points the Dems need to use from now to November.
“The latest NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll found that almost two-thirds of suburban voters have an unfavorable opinion of Trump and, in a head-to-head matchup, Biden leads Trump by 16 points with suburban voters.”
“Democrats essentially billed the race as a moderate, adult in the room vs. an extremist, MAGA candidate.
There was also a Democratic victory in PA yesterday. The GOP is pure chaos, and that is not helping the American people with their problems. The worst thing the GOP did was to kill the border bill because tfg wanted them to. Tfg is a loser, and following him leads to more loss.
While not the total remedy that Democrats will need to pull away this election cycle, this win shows that Republicans should be very worried about November. Santos won the district by 6.5% - Suozzi won by 8%. That's a net gain of 11.5% - in a swing district. Big name Democrats MUST get out across the country and pound the facts into voters. Enough of this quiet campaign. Fight fire with fire - the GQP will definitely continue to do that. #VoteBlueForHumanity
On the CBS evening news, they of course interviewed a supporter of his GOP opponent. Our MSM desperately wants that orange turkey back in office. Think of the CLICKS!
He's a Democrat but he's not going to be doing anything to end the genocide in Gaza. And at this point I'm on the verge of giving up on both parties. And this "democracy" we have here. When a majority of the constituents in your party are concerned about an issue and the entire party (with a few exceptions) refuses to address it and couches future losses in terms shaming its own members (progressive voters) then what we have is not democracy. And I'm never going to vote for the slaughter of civilians. No matter who they are or what terrorists in their country did. The US has destroyed the credibility of itself and blithely disregarded and disrespected the UN and the consequences of that (especially when the other candidate is threatening NATO members) will not be a good look for us. Just because it's not being covered by NYT and CNN doesn't mean it's not happening.
Dean, your attempt to portray Main Stream Media as a tool for the GOP is executed poorly. It would be better if you showed how MSM was on top of the fake Russiagate claim. You can even include the fake bounty rewards for Afghans to kill US soldiers. The one piece of news that would really grab everybody's attention is how the MSM exposed Hunter Biden's laptop and that this was never a Russian ruse, this is the cherry on top.

Dems need to hammer the issues. Kick the Reds in the balls. Grind their noses in their own lies. This is a Cage Match for our country

Also, the Lincoln Project produced a great ad about this immigration issue and it sent dementia boy absolutely wild on his social media app:

I've seen this, it's a work of art. And I've seen the unhinged reaction from Dementia J. This one really got under his absurdly thin orange skin.

On this, Dobbs and many other issues, Republicans have forgotten the first rule of holes - "When you are in one, stop digging!"

I watched MSNBC anchor today ask questions on immigration like Dems didn't win last night. It's truly unreal!
And don’t get me started on Chuck Todd who was on today. Thank you for all you do!

Yay, a needed bit of optimism does my heart good on this Valentine's Day!

Lordy I hope the Democrats have taken notes from this victory on how to run a campaign!

I just hope he is not on AIPAC pocket as well. But I'm gonna go ahead and assume he is 100% pro-genocide until he prove us wrong.

I’m just relieved we won. I’m not even able to move a centimeter or nanosecond past that.
