    JOHN KASICH IS A FUCKING REPUBLICAN

    HOW FUCKING GODDAMN BRAINDEAD DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO TAKE ADVICE FROM A REPUBLICAN ON HOW TO WIN ELECTIONS AGAINST REPUBLICANS

      Well, they do love the Lincoln Project too. Dems have always been like this, especially when it allows them a more convenient means of ignoring the left.

      A Republican who lost to the current crop of Republicans. I don't think that can be understated.

        Can confirm, I do not currently have a doctor. Haven't seen a doctor since before I turned 18. I am now 21.

        I'd love to visit the doctor, for any issue I find or just for occasional checkups. Preventative care is, of course, very important. But I live in a shithole country that doesn't give a fuck about that.

        They're scared of having to wait for a doctor's appt if everyone has insurance. Libs will never agree to M4A if it inconveniences them for 1 second.

      What was it, 72% support for it in the exit polls? Not a single dem that supported it lost their spot either, it was just the right wing ones.

    This shit is predictable right down to a T.

    Calling it now - Tom Cotton 2024. Can see this coming a mile away, they are going to lose the House in 2022 and set the stage for a competent fascist in 2024.

      Tom Cotton isn't charismatic enough and isn't doing "plausible deniability" with his racism, he won't be the next Trump

        Did you look at exit polls? Trump got the most black voters of a Republican candidate since the 1950s. And he was out and proud with his racism, right down to the point of saying he "did more for the blacks than any president since Lincoln" and his absolute hatred during the height of the BLM movement. Republicans also did well with Latino voters and minorities across the board.

        Working class voters are moving back to the Republican party, something that should scare the fuck out of the left, since they are winning over the working class. It proves that all the ID-POL stuff that liberals and half of the left here obsess with, are not working cause it's all bullshit. People are resonating more with their income level and voting based on that.

        All Tom Cotton has to do is start talking about the wealth inequality and say he is going to fix it, and it won't matter with his charisma. That will be enough to do something, cause we're looking at another far right reactionary movement as a result of Biden's austerity and the great depression we're in.

          Wealth inequality isnt up for discussion, it's off the table. Elections arent about policies, they're about feels. Tom has no feels.

          and it won’t matter with his charisma.

          this sounds like you're saying he's so charismatic he can pull it off, did you mean his lack of charisma won't matter?

          We should alienate the overwhelming majority of POC working class folks (who will be the majority of the working class soon if they aren't already) because Trump made some marginal inroads?

      I'm actually thinking we haven't seen the last of Donald Trump. He's 100% eligible in 2024 and the base still fucking loves the guy.

      We are winning, these losses are in the context of sustained strategic growth. We're stronger than at any point after the fall of the SU.

      This is how the left works, we lose and lose and lose, growing stronger each time. Then we win, just once, the world turns upside down, and the bastards get the wall.

        Trump gained 8M voters between 2016 and 2020.

        That scares me more than Biden's GOP proxies trying to Left-Shame. The Bloombergcrat candidates all lost this election cycle. The Tea Party shits took the SCOTUS, held the Senate, and gained in the House. They'll be the ones running the country. Biden will just hold the bag for the next Republican President.

        Throwing an opposition politician in a mostly inconsequential cabinet post where the problems are more technical than ideological like agriculture or transportation* is pretty normal.

        *that these cabinet posts are considered nonideological is ideological
