#voteblue

Voters rejected MAGA and their Dem helpers, and the ReTHUGlicans showed us their playbook to block people from voting in Dallas. The first primaries of the 2026 midterms have begun. We’re already seeing Democrat enthusiasm, with record turnout for Democratic voters. And voters are continuing to vote against MAGA, even in long-standing red states! Democrats won a key special election in Arkansas. This was a House seat the GOP won by 2pts in 2024, but this year it was a blowout – Dems won by a 20+ point margin! In an important note for the Democratic Party: Dem primary voters rejected Dems who help MAGA. North Carolina progressive challengers won over Dem incumbents who were giving the GOP votes for veto overrides. https://www.threads.com/@jesscraven101/post/DVd4xjtlMY1 🚨Dallas County, Texas showed us MAGA’s anti-voter playbook for the midterms. Here’s what went down: They changed the rules on voters. The GOP took away county-wide vote centers before this election, meaning voters were newly forced to go to an assigned precinct. The result: mass confusion and almost half of voters being turned away from voting locations. https://archive.ph/vkkNb #uspol #uspolitics #politics #elections #midterms #election #VoteBlue #democracy #Democrats #news

An excellent essay by @pluralistic@mamot.fr , as always. And it underscores an important point for #USPolitics : " #VoteBlue ", in itself, is not a useful strategy for stopping fadcism in the USA. Because it won't do much if those elected Democrats are not afraid of the wrath of the voters each and every time they give in to Trump and the other oligarchs. If they are not afraid of the voters, a lot of them will just do what they have kept on doing - as their voters for donations while selling out democracy and civil rights to their corporate donors. True reform in the USA will not come without powerful organization outside of the party apparatuses. https://pluralistic.net/2026/01/29/post-american-canada/
