And that is by electing senators like Fetterman who are fixtures on Fox News? The public is stupid and things Democrats have some sort of magic they could be doing to stop Trump as the minority party. The Dems did beat Trump and got the most votes ever but they never supported their candidate and pissed all over themselves and threw him under the bus.
-
The public at large hates the Democratic Party only slightly less than it now hates the GOP. If the Dems are ever going to become a real force for social change in the US again, win big enough majorities to actual govern, the party is going to get rebuilt by a new leadership with a new set of ideas and a different appeal than the party that couldn't beat Trump twice.

Schumer has gotten a lot of good candidates to run. Mills was the best candidate for Maine.
-
Don't disagree. But that just demonstrates how much Schumer's org is out of gas itself.
-
No, Fetterman ran as a leftist. Connor Lamb ran as a moderate. Fetterman was supported by Bernie Sanders for Crhist sakes.

LOL Maine is like the oldest state in the country and just elected 80 year old Angus King. They also just recently elected Janet Mills who is apparently too old now. Platner is supported by 83 year old Bernie Sanders. The same people that support Platner support 80 year old Ed Markey. No, Platner's parents just bought him his oyster farm. I don't think Mills wanted to run. I think she was pushed into it and ran a half hearted campaign.
-
he's running as a progressive, completely the opposite of Fetterman, who ran as a conservative dem. I'm with MTU - not my state, not my fight, but I'm glad you guys don't vote in Maine.
-
which means what? Anybody can use the internet to raise money - dem candidates have done it from Obama to AOC. If you can't raise party funds and you can't raise direct funds, you have lost your audience, or you have a campaign org stuck in the past, or both. Mills biggest problem was that she is 78, and while the people of Maine love her, nobody wants 78 anymore. Platner's parents may have been wealthy but at least they didn't buy him out of his military service. The risk with Platner is that the big rallies, where he apparently shines, don't necessarily translate in the GE - ask Kamala.

Jim Joyce? didn’t he also author Galarraga and The Imperfect Game? -
I was in TN last week and tried to watch the tigers on my phone. Middle TN is apparently Reds territory. It’s a 4 hour drive past Cincy. It’s also Braves territory.

I was listening to this game driving up to the mountains in Central Idaho for the day and just when the Tigers had a 3–2 lead in the eighth I thought OMG they’ll bring Kenley out! Then I drove into a kind of ravine where there was no cell phone signal, and when the signal finally came back, it was the last pitch for Finnegan. So I missed two runs being scored in the top of the ninth and all of Finnegan but for the last pitch, and the joy of no Kenley, but dammit it was sweet. -
Hawks aren't doing the tanking thing right.

Mills ran out of money. She has won elections in Maine multiple times by some of the largest margins by a Democrat. The issue isn't that Platner is a mole, he's a grifter and like Trump he saw his opportunity to take advantage. His parents are wealthy. He wasn't poor oyster farmer.
-
Platner is worse than Fetterman. He's Tulsi Gabbard.
-
Do we really expect this Platner fella to caucus with Dems and champion progressive policies, or even center left positions? I don’t.
-
If he votes with the Dems then it’s a plus.

Seth Myers was talking about the Trump Passport. Why would anyone want one? Trump has pissed off the whole planet. You show that to the border agent and you immediately get pulled into the cavity search area.
