    DNC probably won’t get more progressive for next round and will pull something to make them lose votes. Won’t be surprised of they go more right. Maybe drop anti gun laws? That would be a good move to get more GOP votes and the cost of diehard anti-gun people. I don’t know if that math’s. If there is a next round…

      At this point, the DNC could be giving out guns and Republicans would call it a trap that they are only giving a single high capacity magazine. Honestly, after everything that has been known about Project 2025, Trump, Lindsay Graham, and everyone on the right, I don’t think there is anything that could ever change their vote.

        I know you are right and it’s sad. Alternative timeline Pete campaigning in Texas “coming to give you more guns” would totally been called a trap by GOP.

          Beto O’Rourke has been one of the biggest gifts the Dems could ever give Republicans. Even if Dems drop gun bans now–and they should!–it will take years of Dems being pro-2A to convince single-issue voters that it’s not a scam.

      It really depends who votes for them. If progressives, responding to the Walz pick and $15/hr minimum wage vote in very large numbers, then the dem party will do more to try to maintain their support going into the future.

      If the conservative never-Trumpers come out and vote in large numbers, the dems will try to maintain that support instead.

      They’ll chase the votes, basically.

        Those are good examples. Seems in line with the DNC. Which is in part why I became disillusioned by them.
