Ambitie tonen is natuurlijk altijd goed. Aan de andere kant vind ik het onethisch om, terwijl je no.2 op de kieslijst bent, geen melding maakt van je ambitie om ergens in Nederland burgemeester te willen worden (en je dus niet gaat inzetten voor de mensen die op je gestemd hebben). #gl/pvda #Kolff

"De verontwaardiging zou moeten zitten in het schenden van geheimhouding, niet in het tonen van ambitie."
Aldus Wouter #Kolff, CvdK in Zuid-Holland.

Toch nog een (liberale) VVD-er met fatsoen.

Remarkable: In Virginia and New Jersey, Spanberger and Sherrill erased the GOP edge among working class. Per exit polls, each got 50% of noncollege voters, big gains over previous contests.

Shocker: Anti-Trump politics appeals to working class, too!

Trump Humiliation Worsens as Fresh Info Reveals Scale of GOP Losses

The results showed that Democrats don’t have to choose between attacking Trump and highlighting the economy. In fact, they are often inseparable.

Landsbelang:

-kabinet laten vallen op nareis-leugen en om Rutte bij de Navo te krijgen
- ‘we gaan niet met de PVV regeren’ om dat toch te doen
-mede verantwoordelijkheid voor een de democratie bedreigende puinhoop; -opschuiven naar PVV-standpunten

-GLPvdA uitsluiten als het ergste dat er is

De NCTV wijst op de voorbeeldfunctie van politici en waarschuwt voor de normalisering van extreemrechts. Door in zee te gaan met de PVV en Bosma tot Kamervoorzitter te kiezen, heeft de VVD precies dát gedaan. De VVD is onbetrouwbaar als het gaat om de bescherming van onze democratische instituties.

Als de verkiezingen van 2026 eerlijk verlopen, gaan de Democraten dik winnen. Maar dan moet het wel allemaal eerlijk gaan. Trump cs doet er nu alles aan om die verkiezingen te ontregelen, zoals het aanpassen van kiesdistricten, mensen hun stemrecht afnemen en meer van dat soort zaken.
