Trump acknowledges our gains:

[quote]"The biggest change I've seen in Congress is Israel
literally owned Congress - you understand that - 10 years ago,
15 years ago. And it was so powerful. It was so powerful. And
today it's almost the opposite," Trump told the conservative Ari
Hoffman Show.
"You have between AOC and [Rep. Ilhan] Omar and these people
that hate Israel, they hate it with a passion and they're
controlling Congress, and Israel is not a force in Congress
anymore. I mean, it's just amazing. I've never seen such a
change," Trump continued.
"And we're not talking about over a very long period of time,
but I think you know exactly what I'm saying. They had such
power, Israel had such power - and rightfully - over Congress,
and now it doesn't. It's incredible, actually.[/quote]
WE WILL REPLACE YOU!

Virginia results shows that our strategy still works, but we
just haven't applied it enough yet:

Black voters: 87% for McAuliffe to 13% for Youngkin
Hispanic voters: 68% for McAuliffe to 31% for Youngkin
Asian voters: 66% for McAuliffe to 34% for Youngkin
Good grief! How did Youngkin win? There must be some mistake!
Oh, I see. Youngkin won the same way Republicans always win, by
driving up the white vote. White voters went 61% to 38% for
Youngkin. According to NBC News’ exit poll, white women voted
57% for Youngkin.[/quote]
As I keep saying, higher education is a red herring:

Among "non-whites", non-gradudate voters are even more Blue than
graduate voters!
Another red herring is gender:

[quote]Democrats aren’t going to win over the majority of white
women, and they need to stop trying and instead court the
diverse coalition that can save this country from itself.
...
It makes sense. They vote for their interests, which is
preserving whiteness at all costs. When push comes to shove,
many white women in this country have historically shoved people
of color out of the way. These suburban, PTA moms were
“segregation’s constant gardeners” who helped keep Jim Crow
alive; they upheld white power at the expense of Black and brown
women as they marched towards suffrage; and they even came out
to derail the Equal Rights Amendment, thanks to the advocacy of
conservative firebrand Phyllis Schlafly, who argued that (white)
women, and their (white) families, were better under the
current, unequal system that promoted patriarchy and white
supremacy.
She had a point. Why dismantle a system where you can always be
the victim and weaponize your tears into bullets against Black
and brown bodies? When doing the right thing means that your
white son and daughter would have to compete equally with
children of color in academics, sports, and the workplace, and
your white husband won’t get a head start on job promotions,
higher wages, and bank loans compared to colleagues of color?
Why dismantle a system that will protect your white children
from having to confront the enduring sin and trauma of white
supremacy, which includes slavery, segregation, Jim Crow,
xenophobia, and racist dog whistles that continue to degrade,
humiliate, and incarcerate so many people of color?
In that version of [s]America[/s], it’s good to be a white
woman. When you go missing, or there’s a tragic murder, this
country mourns you, writes about you, and mobilizes all its
efforts to seek retribution, but it all but ignores Black and
brown girls who were also loved and leave behind family and
friends yearning for justice, closure, and empathy.
...
The manufactured CRT panic isn’t going away, and it will work
wonders across the nation, especially with white moms, unless
Democrats confront it head on. Democrats need to take this
seriously and develop a counter-message, because ignoring it
isn’t an option.
Democrats must finally stop chasing Amy and Karen, and start
chasing Stacey: lean on women of color and a multicultural
coalition that will inspire and bring out voters of color, who
are your base and helped deliver you Georgia and
Arizona.[/quote]

Something that came to my attention recently is that the left
wing of the Democratic Party is quite close to becoming the
dominant wing in the House of Representatives. Around 95 out of
220 (43%) of Democratic party House members are part of the
"Congressional Progressive Caucus".
"Progressives" have recently been trying to gain leverage over
the major policy bills being debated in Congress, and the way
the media portrayed it, it seemed like there were only half a
dozen "Progressives" taking advantage of the fact that the
Democratic party only had a slim majority by 7 seats in the
House. In reality, they are almost numerous enough to start
overruling the neoliberal/conservative Democrats outright.
In fact, the "progressive" caucus slightly larger than the
"neoliberal" caucus (which unfortunately doubled its numbers
since 2014. Ffs, no wonder the party was so resistant against
taking any action against Trump!)
[quote]As of July 22, 2021, of the 117th United States Congress,
the CPC has 96 members (94 voting Representatives, 1 non-voting
Delegate, and 1 Senator), making it the largest ideological
caucus in the Democratic Party (slightly larger than the New
Democrat Coalition) and the second largest ideological caucus
overall (after the Republican Study Committee).[/quote]

Finally, a leftist who understands populism:
[quote]A 'populist' Senate candidate wants to ban members of
Congress from holding and trading stocks — and throw them in
jail if they don't comply
Democratic Missouri Senate candidate Lucas Kunce wants to ban
members of congress from trading stocks.
When Lucas Kunce heard House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's rejection of
a proposed ban on members of Congress and their spouses from
trading stocks, he was incensed.
"That person is supposed to represent all of us. They're
supposed to take care of us. They're supposed to legislate for
America," Kunce told Insider in a telephone interview on
Tuesday. "They're supposed to make things better for the
everyday American, and instead, they're legislating for their
stock portfolio."
In a recent appearance on MSNBC, he compared her response to
Insider's question about the issue — "we have a free-market
economy," she said last week — to the infamous "let them eat
cake" remark misattributed to French monarch Marie Antoinette on
the eve of the French Revolution.
[...]
"Populism is empowering normal everyday people against elites
and trying to change a system that's rigged," he said. "Just
because some fakers have come in and stolen the label, divided
everyday people, and used them to get power for themselves —
rather than power for all of us — doesn't mean that I'm going to
give up on that idea."
[...]
"If you had information like that, and you did what these
members of Congress are doing, you would end up in jail," he
said."The rules are harsher for you, me, and Martha Stewart —
that's the one that everybody knows, right? — than they are for
the Speaker of the House."
And while some members of Congress and candidates alike have
proposed requiring the use of blind trusts — an account where
independent financial experts manage assets instead of the owner
— as a solution to the problem, Kunce says they're merely a
"political ploy."
"Okay, so if I have a privately held coal company, when that
goes into blind trust, I'm going to forget that I have that?" he
asked, making a clear reference to a recent Washington Post
investigation of Sen. Joe Manchin's blind trust. "I'm just gonna
develop amnesia?"[/quote]

The seat Kunce is running for is currently occupied by
Trump-supporter Roy Blunt.
If Kunce wins, then hopefully that momentum will also lead to
Coup Vote organizer Josh Hawley losing his Missouri senate seat.

Paul thinks it is "stealing" because he sees how many of the
Blue voters are "non-white". Just like how Karens think
"non-whites" are "stealing" property that they own:

In "white" supremacist minds, "non-whites" should not be allowed
to vote or own property, and seeing them do so makes them feel
threatened. It is that simple.

Why urban districts are reliably Blue:

and will continue to be so:

Indeed, the margin of our hold over urban districts is excessive
enough that we should actually think more about moving the
demographic surplus into rural districts in order to turn them
Blue also.
