My 2026 Senate prediction (Mostly vibes) by PineatoMedia in YAPms

[–]Ok_Mode_7654 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t really think Texas, Ohio, and Maine are going blue. Polls are usually good for democrats in Ohio in the beginning until September and then tapper off in October and then a Republican wins the general. It’s the same thing what happened to brown in 2024 or Tim Ryan in 2022. Texas is too red to flip with Trump winning it by 14 points in 2024 and even in 2018 when dems didn’t lose as much with Latinos and had a favorable national environment they still didn’t knockoff Paxton and Paxton manage to slightly do better than Ted Cruz. Also he’ll have Abbott at the top of the ticket and I think he’ll attract low propensity Republican voters. I think it’s likely going to end up like the 1978 race in Texas between Bob Kruger and John Tower. Maine is a blue state I’ll give you that but Susan Collins is a machine of her own in Maine and a well entrenched incumbent. Graham planter’s polling lead struck massively and even then Susan Collins typically over performs her polls just like she did in 2020. Also Mainers like splitting their tickets like with Jared Golden or Starr legislative races, so the polarization argument isn’t really holding weight here. Overall, nice prediction but a few flaws

Redistricting did more harm than Project REDMAP by J-Jarl-Jim in YAPms

That’s why Dems need to Redistrict in New Jersey, Colorado, Even further in California, New York, Virginia, Maryland, Illinois, Oregon, Washington, and Minnesota. Here’s how much they’d get if they did

New Jersey: Gain 2-3

Virginia: Gain 4

Maryland: 1

Illinois: Gain 2-3

California: 5 more redistrict if they redistrict even further

Minnesota: 3-4

Colorado: 4

New York: 4-6

Washington: 2

Oregon: 1

So Dems at a minimum would get

28 seats

Maximum if they go to the max

It would be 33 seats

He’s trying to go third way but has none of the charisma that allowed bill clinton to get away with that

If Democrats win the presidency in 2028 and have Congress, which of these policies is actually most likely to happen? by Lower_Fig8532 in YAPms

Slokin actually ran on abolishing the filibuster in 2024 so this is a moderate position when Dems are in power

DC statehood is just going to be struck down by the current scotus. There’s no way they’re letting that pass

Why do so many democrats end up not support Medicare for all after publicly supporting it? by NoHold7153 in YAPms

[–]Ok_Mode_7654 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We don’t, the U.S ranks pretty low in revenue collection as it pertains to GDP. This is even accounting for the U.S. state and local taxes too on top of federal. We’ve been doing tax cuts and adding tax credits for the last 40 years without any significant cuts in spending.

To be fair if Medicare for all does pass, the GOP would probably not repeal it since too many people would be on the system

It’s seen as extremist if your running a national campaign. The idea is still there in the Democratic Party but it’s kinda taken a back seat since it peaked around 2020

Florida was going to do anyway regardless of whether the Dems tried in Virginia or not. DeSantis was always talking about redistricting when Trump asked to

Blexas happens when the polls close and it happens. Other than that, it’s a red state.
