What is up with Haley Stevens in Michigan? Has she gone Crazy?!?
Endorsing Mike Rodgers! Is she really That much of a sore loser? Abdul El-Sayed is So much Better than her!
The people who are saying that she’s putting Country over Party are just like her, Scared of Muslins…
Being against the policies of Israel is Not anti-Semitism!

 

[KLS52]

She messed up big time imo.

Too many democrats eat their own. Look at any we had Hilary instead of Bernie.
They're as tied to isreal as the republicans.

Two guesses here, either she is a horrible POS person, or there were some strings attached to those 35 million $ AIPAC spent on her primary…

I guess however, that the answer is likely a resounding „BOTH“ …

This is why I'm an independent. I've never been a fan of the two-party system. It's just another political moneymaking machine. Not that I ever really vote for Republicans, lol, especially not the current iteration! The whole system needs a reboot!

Agreed, however in the current situation most third party candidates simply end up being a “spoiler” … It would be Amazing to have a Green Party candidate who actually had a chance of winning! Has anyone else noticed that the Climate Crisis and the Environment in general is rarely mentioned?

Getting the Big money Out of the system is Imperative!
When I’ve heard the Huge amounts of money being spent on this midterm election it makes me Sick! There has got to be a Better way to do elections… Also, it’s a Big problem the way that social media has become So prominent - the amount of Lying is Unbelievable!

So, let's see how the midterms go!!!!!

This is your chance, Americans, to demonstrate to us, the rest of the world, that you still have a modicum of sense left. We're counting on you!

Happy to report that my grandkids have voted! Gen Z stepping up!

My son and I just came back from voting. The trash bins at the door were FULL of the flyers endorsing democrats!
I do miss the days when I'd research candidates from both sides before making a decision. Now it's down to which one deserves the wood chipper!

Early signs of the election results are that promising not to start yet another foreign war in the middle East, then deliberately increasing gas prices by a large amount by doing so....might not be a good strategy....who knew?

Betting markets have Democrat control of the senate at 97% chance, that's good. So likely Democrat win, with some chance of it being really big.

 

[Jamie in Chile]

Really exciting stuff so far.

Dems are winning every seat that was really in play. Any swing state and probably even Alaska, Kansas and Texas.

They could end up with somewhere around 55-45 or 56-44 control of the senate.

Remember these senate seats are usually held for 6 years so tonight, if results continue to play out like this, means that Dems have increased their chance of controlling the senate in 2028 and 2030 as well.

 

[Jamie in Chile]

At the time of writing Polymarket has democrats at 72% for control of the senate in 2028.
