I think that’s logical. I also think there’s a clear goal to break as much shit as possible in the next two years, assuming that we won’t be able to fix everything. The GOP is absolutely terrified of midterms, so I think they’re trying to really take advantage of this two year window.
Maybe less time than 2 years. They need a cooling off period before voting, counting on the notorious short term memory of most voters
They are not ACTING like they're scared of midterms. At all. They're acting like they're sure the fix is in, and they won't lose their seats. This, more than anything, convinces me that there WAS fraud in tabulating 2024 election.
- - though I also accept Mark Elias's assertion that there wasn't - And Greg Palast's opinion that the fix happened in the voter suppression.
Same. They seem irritated by and dismissive of push-back, from where I'm sitting.
Is there any evidence that they are terrified? I haven't seen much. I mean I guess the cancelation of town halls?
Somehow overheard a couple MAGA 'necks in rural MI sweating midterms at the hotel breakfast with FOX&Frauds blaring, they're not going to quit their BS.
Nothing new here, been going on since Reagan convinced America corporations & greed are good for us Now corporations are the government & are unaccountable because they only exist for the sole purpose of benefitting ownership
Break everything and then claim Biden/Democrats did it and only republicans can "fix" it. Of course the single brain cell crowd will believe the bullshit
Has anyone ask whether GOP has two years? I doubt it. Comments?
Angry, I’ve been following you since 2016, and my goodness, I appreciate you. I never miss reading an AMA, even if it’s not on Friday night. You haven’t been wrong, at least not that I remember. You keep saying there will be midterms, but I’m terrified we won’t. I need a little reassurance. 💚
I think they want to make it a 90 day window. Why? Because the pressure is on.
Midterms? MIDTERMS?! There aren’t gonna be “midterms.”
Do you really think we’ll have mid-terms? I fear if we do they’ll be held on X.
I don't think GOP is afraid of the midterms. They already know how they're going to rig them.
They'll try. I hope their hubris brings out our nation.
True
No problem, they don't even need to hold the midterm elections. Trump will declare a national emergency and, presto, no midterm elections! Then in 2028, he will do the same and remain in office in a extended 2nd term. WE CANNOT WAIT FOR 2026 and hope things will be better. We must take action now.
I agree. I will go to my grave believing #PresidentMusk rigged the 2024 election. For NC to elect a dem Gov, Lt. Gov, AG and Trump!?!? Come on!!!
if they weren't worried then why would they even be afraid of Muskrat threatening to primary them?
That’s what worries me!
not gonna happen
Hope you’re right!
When/ if there are midterms, I'm voting like I always do. No sitting at home for me just assuming it's rigged anyway. Too many fought tooth and nail for my right to vote
Absolutely! I’ve also signed up to work the polls.
I don’t think they’ll be midterms. If so, Elon will have control and they’ll be rigged anyway.
This is my fear as well
Elections are run by the states. The real questions is will Red States run free & fair elections.
My concern is that Trump is reshaping the relationship between fed and states. There have been a couple of statements in passing that suggested elections to federal office should not be left to the states.
As people keep saying, don’t obey in advance. There will be midterms. They want us to think there won’t be.
I know you say there will indeed be elections. I just don't think there will be REAL elections. Just like I really don't think trump actually won in 2024. I feel there were uncounted and secretly nullified votes and some programming features from Elmo. I also think Elmo is Putin's bitch.
I don't, I'm saying this as a Democratic precinct committee, I think people were just thinking they'd be able to have the economy before COVID by April. That's what they voted for, but they're not getting it.
I believe we need to stop with these defeatist comments about midterms. We are making it too easy for them if we just give up now. It's time to assume we can vote & win. Fight for it. Then monitor our votes in our local elections. I trust my county election commissioner in my red state Keep it local
It's not defeatist, it's knowing what you're up against and finding a way to level the playing field.
So instead of saying "there won't be midterms" say "I'll fight to my last breath to make sure we can vote and that our vote will count." I know what we're up against but I'm not throwing in the towel today.
I think you meant to reply to the guy above me....but yes, I agree. I'm personally sick of hearing/reading "There won't be any more elections."
Sorry, Mara. Yes, not you. We must not concede in advance. People will stay home if they do not believe their votes will count. It's time to say, boldly, that we WILL vote and it WILL count and we WILL make damn sure it does. We WILL assist others to register and to vote.
I really don't think that's primarily what happened. Why would millions less or Democrats vote then voted for Biden? It just doesn't make sense. Everyone I know would have voted for a stuffed animal if trump was the only other choice.
It doesn't make sense or seem plausible to me either, and I have the same suspicions as you do. That's why I believe we need to push forward and make our voices heard.
💯
You can be sick of hearing it but it doesn't make it any less or more true. trump said it himself. "If you vote for me there will never have to be another election again". And nobody wins every swing State and especially not by margins within points of what would trigger automatic recounts.
These negative comments can turn off voters from even showing up. Our goal must be to inspire and motivate every one to register, vote, track the vote to make sure it's counted, and to get 5 others to do the same.
I disagree. If what I believe to be the truth hurts? Sorry. I do agree with motivating NEW voters but everyone else knew what was at stake and I don't think they stayed home. But the elections have to be free & fair and I don't think that's the case. You don't have to agree with me. That's OK.
Don't comply in advance. Don't give him what he wants. Don't give up.

There was also massive election interference/intimidation. So many bomb threats in predominantly blue areas. Voters were purged days before the election. The bullshit was endless. He's always been a fraud and conman. There's no way he wouldn't do anything shady to "win" the presidency again
Yes! Spread the word about this group who’s digging into the data. youtu.be/cKDw2rlLAs0?...
I agree. I don’t trust our internet security. It’s still so easy to breach with one dumb click. I study cybersecurity but I am not an expert.
Fkn right! Nvr have, nvr will. Modern equiv of script kiddies+AI really lowers the bar to entry. Try to imagine what is now possible, with state sponsorship. With respect2 your last sentence,💯! Anyone that can say what you just said, knows exactly what the fuck they are talking about! Followed!
Check out this new alliance of super smart cyber security experts, data analysts, and statisticians who are digging into the 2024 election data. Some very strong evidence that this election was absolutely stolen. youtu.be/cKDw2rlLAs0?...
I do not now nor have I ever doubted this election was stolen. I get it. There's a ridiculous number of stupid Amercians but I highly doubt the majority, who's votes were counted can possibly be THIS stupid. PLUS, no one wins every swing State.
I think Erdogan’s arrest of strongest opponent in Turkey looks more like the future of our elections.
If things don't change it's very possible. And worse.
There won't be elections. Elon Musk is going to send his goon squad to inspect voting machines. It will be 1 party rule and puppet government. All because Democrats have no power to do anything.
I'm the biggest liberal on the planet, but I do think Trump won. Why? Because I think there are that many racist, sexist aholes out there, and it's time the Democrats understood that. Sadly, we need a straight, white middle of the road candidate to get rid of these morons. Sad, but true.
There were too many irregularities in NC and PA. I'm pissed at the Democrats for not even caring enough to look into it!
I agree.
That’s a subjective assessment. However the data certainly looks like some sort of cheat occurred. Also it doesn’t add up that Trump would win every swing state (by a margin barely outside of recount) while not winning 50% of the vote. It’s extremely suspicious

If you look at all the comments from trump about Musk, the election, the state of PA specifically ie...we have all the votes we need, we have a secret we'll tell you after the election and on and on. You wouldn't think he won.
I tend to think every comment from Trump is complete bullshit anyway, but there's also the fact that Marc Elias didn't go after anything. That's very telling, given that he has the balls of a 100 foot statue. The fact is that it is very difficult to rig an election. So I don't agree that they did.
Marc wouldn't just go do something on his own, they should've done a recount in PA to start. He literally admitted that Musk rigged PA. There's no way he won every swing state and Kamala had huge events and trump did little campaigning bcuz he knew he bl didn't need to.
I agree. 100%.
Marc would be transparent if he thought there were issues. He's been before. You realize that a lot of people just didn't vote. That's what we need to go after. The non-voters.
Who's Marc?
Marc Elias a kick ass lawyer who found Democracy Docket fights for voting rights etc.
Ohhh that Marc. Thanks.
Maybe he's working on stuff he can actually fix, he has no authority to make a county recount when the DNC didn't do it. Especially now, how would you push out someone when 40% still think Biden actually lost.
Please show me where he admitted that Musk rigged PA.
There are many many instances of him basically admitting he stole the election. You can easily look up the numerous occasions.
Centre County,PA was called for Trump and then they did an rescan and in the end Harris won. Musk planted himself in Philly and paid poor people for their vote.
That just scratches the surface of the things he did AND he's doing it again in Wisconsin offering $100. to anyone who votes the way he wants in their Supreme Court election.
I hadn't heard that about Centre County but it's not surprising. The fact thatvhe won every swing state is sketchy af in its own I don't think it has ever happened before in history and Donvict is far from popular
🎯
Less than two now.
Take advantage by breaking as much as they can, that's working for the enemy, see Putin.
They should be. Everyone of them should be worried
👍
It's hard to believe there will be elections in two years, as in Russia, where there will be an assemblage of one. We need to throw in now. Tim Synder's "On Tyranny" points out that surrendering power with little to no resistance is prob factored into their strategy.
Yup it's basically a smash and grab - they know they are on the clock I have a hunch that the fascists are surprised by how little resistance they have met so far
Destroying the govt from w/in is following the Cutis Yarvin playbook of turning us into a dictatorship as quickly as possible. Gutting govt employees-undercut departments & they can't function & they can't function w/no furniture or computers or when 10K are forced into a bldg for 6K.
trained by nazis, that one. and backed by private equity, those breakers of everything.
Angry, are you familiar with the election truth alliance? A group of really smart people digging into the data of the 2024 election. Here’s the intro to them. Legit! youtu.be/cKDw2rlLAs0?...
Thx MadCat!
No shit. No freaking idea why Dems aren’t talking about HOW the election was stolen. 🤦🏻♀️. hint - starlink
They don't call them the PayPal Mafia for nothing. www.democracynow.org/2025/2/10/el...
They have NO INTENTION of allowing midterms. Wake Up, please!
Agree with this. They’re making us drink from the fire hose, hoping that we’ll drown in the process. No chance.
You think they’re going to allow midterms? Bless your heart…
We don't have 2 years!
