The best reason to contribute to Crockett’s campaign is to help get down ballot candidates elected, and to fund partisan democratic voter registration. If her campaign isn’t doing that, then I personally wouldn’t contribute no matter how much I like her.

To me this is by far the most important data point. He’s hit the 36%-ish floor a lot but never below. There’s no meaningful shift unless his number sinks below 36. Anything below 36 means his base is finally shrinking.

WTF. It's absurd that they would claim the "No Kings" protesters will have no affect on the midterms. They haven't even happened yet. This is a prediction and opinion, not a fact. But it's clear their opinion page will push this narrative all the way.

I have heard that the soy bean trade disaster has Iowa farmers finally turning on Trump. Their state economy has shrunk significantly and no MAGA talking points can change it.

The people willing to do this are fucking heroes and have more guts than 99% of elected politicians.

Note that the bluest counties shifted the most. Guessing 2020 voters who sat out 2024 are coming back to Ds.

The darkest fear of DNC centrists has already happened. The crumbling of institutions and the rule of law is far worse for them than leftist populism. The center and left are much closer ideologically then you would think if you only read things online.

-1. I love the draft. I get to fantasize the Steelers may actually improve and could win a playoff game again before Hailey’s comet returns

Understand your perspective. We need 'institutionalist" dems to join with AOC/Bernie to bring the kind of numbers we need to make a difference. Obama etc have massive email lists and influence.
