Anyone else confused with its current state? The Democratic Party is doomed and dead, and also powerful enough to win an Amish country state senate race in PA and spook Elise Stefanik out of vacating her seat.

The authenticity of our elections is very much up in the air, so long as Muskite controls the internet access to voting machines, and I don't see that changing in red or most swing states.
sick of this 💩⁉️ 3 days to 1st April - 1x Supreme Court race in Wisconsin (that Musk put $11m into)- 2x Congressional races in Florida’s 1st and 6th districts - you don’t need to live there to support the non-MAGA candidates - spread the word ‼️
everyone saying the DNC is dead are just sitting around with their thumbs up their asses pretending that they wouldn't rather be Republicans, but they don't want to eat the crazy hamburger like all their neighbors.
The history seems a bit parallel to 2009 when Obama took office. Democrats had enormous majorities in Congress, while Republicans were in the wilderness. The Tea Party revolted against many of the party's longtime elected leaders. Agree or disagree, but I see the same parallels currently.
I'm not referring the president, I'm referring the political party's standing. In 2009, the Tea Party staged protests. Like it or not, they did help the GOP make significant gains in 2010. The same thing could very well happen with the Dems this year and next.
That said, the Tea Party was:
* a phony populist movement
* fueled by bigotry / hate
* funded by billionaires
* amplified by propaganda networks
* used PACs to funnel dark money to candidates that preached the party line
* set the precedent for forced lock-step movement by GOP candidates (MAGA)
The current movement is definitely not funded by billionaires; it's legitimately a grassroots movement. My point is the TP did help the GOP make significant gains in 2010. They also knocked out many GOP incumbents, as they were dissatisfied with party leadership. Same thing could happen on Dem side.

And I'm ok with that.
p.s. Elise Stefanik would you mind staying in Congress instead of being UN Ambassador because ....well..you know....
Oh and he wasn’t a rapist.
Other than that it’s exactly the same.
