How are you so sure how the midterms will shake out? We seen to be seeing a withering of dissent.
- b_davis_ 2y agothey are holding their powder. 18 months until it is time to get serious about electing the next congress.
- bloomingeek 2y agoI believe this to be true. Making waves now is risky because current administration will take revenge on your state, whether blue or red. Sad, isn't it?
- bloomingeek 2y agoPredicting politics is similar to gambling, it's not a science and their are too many variables. However, in this case there are some indicators worth looking at. IF congress severely cuts or makes limiting changes to Medicaid, voters from both parties who live near or at the poverty level will shout loud and clear. They will threaten their representatives with their votes. (they've already started, BTW.) Hospitals will be in a bind also, after all, Medicaid money is better then no money. If you're not horrified by the access musk has had so far to the Treasury Department, remember how info is sold on the internet. And last, but not least, Project 2025. Personal morality cannot be legislated. We want the government out of our backyard, bedroom and bank account, P 2025 wants a part of all, the question is will the American voter willingly be led down the path of limited autonomy. (my generation, boomer, used to be all about personal freedom, now we seem to believe in freedom only for ourselves, that is, if we are white and male.)
