  1. Anyone shocked has never met a Jew...

    "The #survey found that 67 percent of #Jewish #voters plan to back a #Democratic #Congressional #candidate in the November #elections; 26% plan to vote #Republican, and the remainder were undecided.

    The #publicopinion research company #GBAOStrategies carried out the #poll on behalf of the nonprofit #JewishVotersResourceCenter.

    The poll also found broad disapproval of the #Trump administration. Three-quarters of Jewish voters disapprove of #US #President #DonaldTrump’s performance as president and 82% have an unfavorable view of #VicePresident #JDVance.

    The survey found that #Jews’ top priorities were #costofliving and affordability at 37%; the future of #democracy, 36%; #antisemitism, 25%; #healthcare, 18%; and #Israel, 16%.

    A vast majority — 89% — said they were concerned about antisemitism in the US, and 71% said they were emotionally attached to Israel.

    Respondents also reported disapproval of the #Netanyahu coalition..."

  7. _Voter suppression_

    “The process of being denied their right to vote was such a negative experience that they would not reengage with the voting process at future elections. Many reported being extremely upset, embarrassed, humiliated or angry when they couldn’t vote, to a much greater degree than one might expect, given most people view voting as a relatively mundane activity.”

    The academics recommend introducing “attestation” or “vouching”, where voters with permitted ID can attest to another voter’s identity at the polling station, allowing them to still cast a ballot when an official declaration is signed in the polling station.

  13. This crystallized something for me. We all know that low-info voters could swing most any election if they woke up. But:

    Many of us "[D]on’t understand how most people actually learn about politics … [they] avoid politics entirely. The only way they absorb it is ambiently, through a health influencer, a podcast, or the sports they watch. That is exactly where Musk is spending money now, & Democrats have nothing running to counter it …"

  18. @mikegalsworthy That would require that #Britain restores #free #movement of labour, which is opposed by the #LabourParty, the #Tories & #ReformUK. It's vital for our #economy, but far too many of our #politicians think the #majority of the #voters won't accept it. They're wrong!

  19. foreignpolicy.com/2026/08/21/i. "The immediate #blame for the #debacle in #Iran attaches to #Trump & his #incompetent #advisors [but] the ultimate blame must lie... with the #voters. It was the choice... of #American voters to return Trump, a man manifestly incompetent... incapable of absorbing unwelcome or contrary #information... to the #WhiteHouse."

  20. #Trump and #Republicans won by pretending to be #populists. Then they betrayed their #voters by being #elitists instead. #DemocraticSocialists actually are populists, and can appeal to the #MAGA base if they do it right.

I knew this sort of thing would happen if #voters here put #ReformUK in power, but it seems #Deaf people, & the #disabled in general, count for NOTHING, either with the voters, or the #Reform #politicians they've elected. These councils won't be coming up for re-election until May of 2029.

    Across the country, voters took to the ballot box to make their voices heard on Tuesday. The results overwhelmingly demonstrate that voters want leaders who will push against the #Trump administration’s cruel policies and abuses of power and work to make life better for the American people.

  24. CNN – What Matters – November 10, 2025

    Editor’s Note: Below is a re-formatted post from a CNN Newsletter. It will appear online soon. The newsletter is sent first, then it is published online in a later cycle. I’ve posted it here, because of my comments. This 8-member “deal” on the side is a huge mistake. Read more below. –DrWeb

    CNN What Matters
     
    by Zachary B. Wolf

    : Democrats seethe over shutdown deal.
    They might be celebrating in a year

    The likely end to the longest-ever government shutdown has Democrats turning on each other in searing anger.
     
    The prevailing opinion appears to be frustration that eight senators freelanced a deal with Republicans.
     
    While it does not guarantee the extension of expiring enhanced subsidies for Obamacare health insurance plans, it does guarantee there will be a Senate vote on that subject.
      
    Sen. Tim Kaine, who helped finalize the deal, defended it on CNN Monday. Kaine noted that the White House had pledged to rehire federal workers fired during the lapse in government funding and to bar further reductions in force at least until January 30.
     
    That’s not good enough for many Democrats who were feeling powerful after victories in mostly blue-state elections last week. They wanted to hold out for more guarantees from the White House, even as the nation’s air travel system started to buckle under the strain of air traffic controllers not being paid and people who rely on the government for assistance buying food went without.
     
    There’s no guarantee that House Speaker Mike Johnson will allow a House vote on extending the enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies, but Kaine argued that if senators pass it with bipartisan support and Johnson ignores it, the GOP will pay a political price.
     
    “Their midterm election next year would look a lot worse even than the shellacking they got last week in Virginia and elsewhere,” Kaine said.
     
    The expiring enhanced subsidies, according to analysis by KFF, will be felt more in states that voted for Trump in 2024, and could result in millions of people opting not to have health insurance at all.
     
    This shutdown, assuming it ends and is not repeated in January, won’t be top of mind for voters in midterm elections next year, but it’s still worth taking a look at what happens at the ballot box after a shutdown.

    DrWeb’s Comment…

    “While it does not guarantee the extension of expiring enhanced subsidies for Obamacare health insurance plans, it does guarantee there will be a Senate vote on that subject.” –article quote

    I have highlighted in bold a quote from the article. It is embarassing to post the truth for these eight renegades. They got scammed, including Catherine Cortez Masto, one of my Senators I used to support in Nevada.

    To believe that quote, is to believe or trust Trump. I don’t.

    These 8 should have known better. I don’t believe or trust the Trump Senate. I don’t.

    It won’t vote on the subject, or the votes will vote to remove Obamacare and/or the subsidies, surprise surprise.

    All the damn signs point to Trump erasing Obamacare (ego thing to do), and replacing it –after many years of asking GOP for any national health plan, they will dump something out and call it National Health Care by Trump.

    Watch, wait, Trust me. They are screwed, these 8, we are screwed by the failure to support the Democratic Party (outliers not welcomed). All those closed days –accomplished NOTHING. Because of these 8 fools. –DrWeb

  25. The Morning: Democrats’ big night – The New York Times

    By Sam Sifton

    Good morning. Last night was a big one for Democrats.

    From left, Mikie Sherrill, Zohran Mamdani and Abigail Spanberger. 

    A rebuke

    Zohran Mamdani, 34, will be the next mayor of New York City, the youngest in more than a century. The democratic socialist will also be the city’s first Muslim mayor. Abigail Spanberger will be Virginia’s first female governor. In New Jersey, Mikie Sherrill cruised to victory in a governor’s race that polls had projected would be neck and neck.

    And in California, voters passed a ballot measure to redraw the state’s maps in Democrats’ favor, which is likely to yield as many as five House seats for the party next year.

    Turnout was extraordinary: The New York mayor’s race drew more than two million voters, almost double the 1.1 million people who voted for mayor four years ago. The New Jersey governor’s race topped three million votes for the first time.

    As my colleague Lisa Lerer wrote, the results showed that Democrats — beaten soundly in all seven presidential battleground states just a year ago, losing control of the Senate and failing to win the House — can still accomplish the most important goal in politics: “They can win. And win big.”

    The results amounted to a loud rebuke of President Trump’s first year back in office. A year ago, he won the White House on promises to fix the economy. Yesterday, his party’s losses showed the high political price that a party in power can pay when voters are still feeling squeezed.
