Let's pretend for one moment that he does die before the election, just for the funsies. What happens then? Will the nomination revert to option number 2, aka Bernie Sanders? Or will his running mate automatically replace him just the way Vice-President is supposted to step in after the Big Man in the White House chokes on a piece of matzo? Does he even have a running mate yet?

Dems only lead 46-42 in NYS.

If there's one race the Dems might actually lose in New York State, it's the governor's race. NOBODY likes Hochul, and she wasn't even elected the first time.

I'm not saying it's going to happen, I'm saying that I am on ALL THE COPIUM right now.

Yeah but who would the GOP even put up as a candidate? Are they stashing a second Rudy Guliani somewhere?
 
So to be clear as to what the Democrat's have plans for.

They don't have any.

There is no play from here. Everything they could do just died. The filibuster stands and the RINOs are decreasingly likely to cuck... let alone ten of them coming together to cuck. The only thing that can pass is something that McConnel is willing to sign off on which is nothing that would hurt Republicans, hurt the reputation of the Senate, or which doesn't personally appeal to him.

Something I didn't see mentioned at all, probably because listening to the turtle talk makes one bored to tears, is that McConnel was rather stridently, for him, going after Schumer for daring to try to change the rules of the senate. It's basically the one thing that can actually get under the turtle's shell. So yah, the Senate Republicans just got a lot less likely to entertain anything from the Democrats.


And so any big legislation and damn near all small legislation is dead for the rest of this year until November. There will be no BBB, there will be no Voting Rights bills, there will be nothing. The Democrats have lost for at least a year and increasingly likely for a lot longer than that.


This is not, never was, nor ever will be 'according to plan'. This was not how any of this was supposed to go and they don't -have- any other plans. Oh, they will definitely concoct new ones, but stop jerking yourselves off thinking they have some sort of plan or idea.


They don't.

There was a LOLbertarian candidate in the last election who did respectable IIRC, If the GOP weren't retards they would get him to run as a hard R.

The plan was "ONCE WE GET DRUMPH GONE THE GOP WILL ROLL OVER AND DIE LIKE BEFORE." and there are enough Republicans that saw the Democrats tear off the mask and know that the Democrats are not their friends now that they aren't going to go along to get along anymore.

Romney and Cheney only do it because they are so butthurt over The Trump Family being more liked than their "DYNASTIES"

This is a man who believes a miracle is coming. That the Democrats will continue to push. He refuses to believe that Democrats have been routed, the savior Biden brought down, and the entire establishment is on fire.

This is a paradigm shifting without a clutch.

And what the fuck are they gonna do, quit their jobs in protest? Lord knows there’s enough people, vaccinated or not, to fill in the labor gaps. The frothing at the mouth pro-mandate crowd seems to be largely concentrated online from what I can gather. Regular people with jobs and households to take care of don’t like being inconvenienced with excessive public health measures that solve nothing.

I can’t imagine restaurant owners and venues in Boston, Chicago, NYC etcetera are happy that they have to enforce vaccine mandates cause refusing customers cuts into their profits, and with inflation spiking coupled with the exorbitantly high cost of living and omicron being a big nothingburger, I can’t imagine many of them will be sad to see the mandates go.

The pushback to the feds telling blue states they can’t enforce vax mandates anymore would be coming from the people you would expect: aging liberals with office jobs or careers in academia, TikTok nurses, local politicians drunk on power, the list goes on.

This people are wound way too tight. They are terrified of going outside. They are terrified of their neighbors. They are terrified of their relatives. Every cough and sniffle puts them on edge.

Now the Biden Administration is ripping away the last supports these people have.

My area had a guy shooting others for not wearing masks. Violence is going to play out a lot more when these people realize they are on their own.

If the rebloodlicans take the house and the senate in November he is going to flip I already saw his reaction when youngkin won the Virginia election. That meltdown was captured in real time as it was happening and to an extent it was both funny and worrisome

A bit late on this, but aside from what's already been mentioned there's a German bodybuilder who was supposedly Gandhi's lover, he treated his wife abysmally, and also tried to exert dictatorial control over his inner circle's defecation schedules. Being a somewhat workshy poonhound is downright human in comparison.

Watch out, we got an Angry One!
(Archive)
Like many Democrats, both progressives and moderates, I am deeply disappointed by Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) torpedoing the effort to suspend the filibuster so the voting rights legislation could pass the Senate. I am disappointed as an American because I am convinced that some of the protections in the bill will help preserve our democracy, but I am also concerned that failing to suspend the filibuster for this bill could have a damaging effect on the Democrats’ chances to hold the House and Senate in November’s elections.

For the past several weeks, media coverage of the fight to pass the voting rights bill has centered on the Hamlet-level intrigue generated by Manchin and Sinema, who coyly made headlines with their on-again, off-again decisions about whether to suspend the rules and eliminate the filibuster just for the Freedom to Vote Act and the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.

Now anger has eclipsed my disappointment. I’m angry at the media and pundits who are letting Republicans manipulate the discourse, convincing the average American that the only reason vital legislation to protect the right to vote is stalled is that two Democratic senators are not in favor of the measure.

Truth be told, the Republican Party deserves far more blame for allowing the voting rights bill to die on the vine since every member of the GOP caucus has pledged to vote against it.

The media seem willing, or unmotivated, to fully cover this blow to democracy and expose the Republican opposition. If you followed this issue just in the news, you might think the battle is being waged solely within the Democratic Party. The media have given Republicans a free pass and have failed to give attention to the solid phalanx that Republicans have put up against it. That means the Democrats must do so.

If I were currently Democratic National Committee chair, as I was more than two decades ago, I would purchase full-page ads in newspapers, saturate the radio airwaves in every urban center, blanket billboards in neighborhoods that are predominantly home to people of color, and penetrate social media platforms that these voters frequent. I would tell these citizens the real score — 48 Democrats in favor and 50 Republicans lined up against a bill to protect voting rights.

We must flood Black and Hispanic communities with this information so that the Democratic base understands that even though Manchin and Sinema have been unreasonable, the real blame for the stalemate rests with Republicans who will not permit even one senator to vote in favor of lifting the filibuster so the bill can proceed to a vote.

Beyond ads, we must deploy a virtual armada of Democrats to speak to civic groups, fraternal organizations and other public venues to explain how Republicans want to kill voting rights.

I am certain that this sort of aggressive public relations campaign would get the message across — and I’m equally certain if we don’t wage this fight, Democrats will take the blame for its failure at the polls this fall. We must cement the understanding among diverse Democrats that Republicans kiboshed the voting rights legislation and, in doing so, generated the enthusiasm needed for a massive voter turnout in 2022.

That is a strategy for electing at least three more Democrats to the Senate. If we can effectively communicate this message to our base, they will help us make that happen and, at the same time, save all Americans’ right to vote — and perhaps, even our democracy.

It is time to counter-punch and turn every argument on the Republicans, so that they pay the price for their cynical stance to maintain the filibuster and reduce the number of Americans able to legally cast their votes in 2022.

But we should not stop there. We need a second part of this strategy that can be achieved by forcing Republicans to cast votes on every issue and create a record to run against. Of course, thanks to the absurd filibuster rule, we can’t force them to cast a “yes” or “no” vote on the actual bills themselves, but we can force them to cast votes upholding the filibuster and effectively killing the legislation.

So, make Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) vote no on protecting the right to vote, access to the polls, and blocking voter suppression. Make Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) vote to end the child care tax credit for middle-class families in Wisconsin that potentially would raise 1.2 million children out of poverty. Make Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) vote no on paid family leave that even former President Trump supported. Make Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) vote no on funding child care for nearly 300,000 young children in Kentucky so their parents can afford to go back to work.

We have nothing to lose by taking the most popular parts of the Build Back Better Act and turning them into standalone legislation that would put Republicans on record for their votes regarding each of its popular measures. That would give them a real Hobson’s choice, where they must decide whether to stick with party leadership’s plan to defeat all of President Biden’s agenda by voting “no,” including on those parts of the agenda that are popular with most Americans. They will take responsibility for their votes at the polls.

By orchestrating this plan effectively, we can run against the recalcitrant Republican Party that says “no” to the president's proposals, regardless of merit, reinforcing our basic message to voters that the only way to get these popular programs approved is to elect more Democratic senators.

This strategy may not be the best for America in the short term, but the Republicans leave us no choice. Their insistence to vote “no” on everything the president proposes is the worst type of politics for our country.

Sen. Sinema’s statement on Thursday that she would not support changing the filibuster to pass legislation left most Democrats gloomy, believing there is nothing we can do to enact our agenda. We can — and must — flip the issue and change the narrative to persuade voters of the truth, that Republicans are willing to say “no” to anything proposed by a Democrat even if it might help American families meet the challenges facing them.

America is not well served by the hyperpartisan Republican strategy to derail all of Biden’s programs. We must hold the GOP responsible for employing this strategy and ensure that they pay a heavy price for doing so. It is time to fight back, with the same full-fisted vigor they use to attack Democrats (and even their own party members who dare to break from the party’s edicts).

It is time to play hardball. Let’s roll up our sleeves and fight with every weapon we have available to us, so that the things we believe are necessary for many Americans to prosper will become law.

The GOP's candidate in New York is a Conservative Jew who was deployed in Iraq and is currently serving as a Representative. He's firmly on Trump's side but doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell, not even against Hochul.
Click to expand...
To explain why he has no chance: Zeldin fundraised $8.4 million since he started his campaign, which is the largest amount a Republican in New York has raised in a non-election year in over two decades. But Hochul raised $21 million in that same time and she has zero competition within her own party. There's a progressive black guy opposing her but he's virtually broke. Zeldin won't win but I think he will help continue a trend that's developed over the past 12 years where Upstate becomes more and more Republican.
