Democrats thought the 2024 election was a contest to see who was the more qualified candidate. It wasn't. The 2024 election was a referendum on "wokeness".

That's why Trump won. The people who elected him do not give one jive that he's terrible, or that he's incompetent, or that he'll run the country into the ground. They believed that by voting for him, they were casting a vote against "wokeness". That was the only thing they cared to know.

Even now, you can easily trigger any group of Trumpers into losing their jive by promoting "wokeness" in their presence.

To be fair, Republicans aren't the only ones who don't understand the concept of an election. Many "progressives" were under the impression that the election was an opportunity to send a message to the Democratic Party about the immorality of sucking Israel's dick, and they used it for that purpose, regardless of the consequences.

Interesting article on the shutdown, and how Dems focusing on the medical aspect of the negotiations may work out: https://www.emptywheel.net/2025/10/01/a-shutdown-like-no-other/

Also 3 Dems did vote with the Rs, while Rand Paul flipped.

Yeah, look at the 3 dems. One is an independent who caucuses with them (which should stop NOW), one is Fetterman who clearly turned into a republican stooge after his brain damaging stroke.

Seriously, Fetterman needs to be a one term wonder. Get him to assisted living where he needs to be. He can watch Fox and yell at the clouds all day in a safe environment where he can't harm anyone's future.

I remember being excited about Fetterman. Makes me feel icky now.

 

[Ironbite4]

We all were because he seemed to be bringing a lot of fight to the Senate. And then he had a stroke and that was that.

Ironbite-it's amazing how we can all point at that as the point of his decline.

 

[Pale Rider]

It's like the Senate Dems all draw straws to decide which one gets to be the Manchin.

There's a correlation to be made here about brain damage and going conservative, but I think I'm gonna pass.

 

[Rhinox]

The correlation has been made before. hug, it's been pointed out a lot, especially when Fetterman himself said that Republican talking points make more sense after his stroke.
