It is very frustrating, but it is good for political actors to learn from this. Problems that affect voters directly will always predominate problems that are internal to the functioning of the government, no matter the scale.
We cannot rely on voters to protect our institutions, if we cannot connect those institutions to a tangible problem for voters to engage with.
Ultimately no matter how much we win by in 2026 I consider this year kinda a failure.
Voters don’t hate trump for his attacks on democracy or rampant corruption, but for high gas prices and lack of deflation, the same thing that got us into this mess
What makes this midterm environment more different then in the past is just how many people are voting to spite the incumbent. 43% is highest its ever been in these polls!
My friend saw a guy she liked and immediately started forming hard-to-get.
The guy asked for her number.
She said, “I don’t normally give my number to people.”
He said, “Okay.”
And walked away. 😭
She stood there for like 10 seconds waiting for him to beg.
Those Who Say They're:

🔴Republicans: 53%
Not At All/Not Too Motivated To Vote:
🔴Republicans: 9%
🔵Democrats: 4%

BREAKING: 🇫🇷🇮🇱🇵🇸 President Macron calls for sovereignty of Palestine and says shame on all of us for letting Israel destroying them:
“Sovereignty for Lebanon.
Sovereignty for Palestine.
It Is Shameful. Shame on All of Us.
We Recognize Palestine, Yet It Has No Sovereignty — There is No Peace.”
İtalya Başbakanı Meloni:
"İsrail'i kırmızı çizgiyi aşmakla suçluyorum, Filistinli sivillerin katliamını kınıyorum ve İtalya'nın İsrail'e karşı Avrupa yaptırımlarını destekleyeceğini açıklıyorum."
My personal opinion is that Trump's lying about prices - that they're way down from when he took office, that almost everything is cheaper now, that they're falling rapidly right now - is his single most politically damaging category of lie.
His lies about many subjects require some level of research/prior knowledge/political engagement to debunk. When he lies about prices, even devoted supporters are passively debunking him with their own eyes every day. https://t.co/p6kobFOCxD
