I’m suggesting that the electorate in a general election doesn’t usually fall neatly into buckets labeled “Democrats” and “Republicans”, so it’s usually pretty difficult to win a general election simply by appealing to one’s own “team”. This premise seems to give you difficulty. Why?

My belief is Trump wants Crockett to win the primary because he knows she will have a far harder time in the general election than Talerico in Texas, that is the reason the FCC stepped in. Kinda backfired by the FCC, I don't think Colbert did that intentionally other than he wanted Talerico as a

Actually the main reason cited by Biden 2020 voters who abstained in 2024 was Gaza. It flipped the election. What you're saying is that Democrats were going to lose in 2024 no matter what, in which case, why blame your potential allies on the left when the ascendant right is your real enemy?

From my European perspective the all important role played by financial resources in the US presidential election precludes calling it “a model of democracy”.
The U.S. often views itself as a model of democracy. But other countries have tried to do more to prevent gerrymandering. Here’s a look at what makes them different on redistricting.
What to Know About How Redistricting Is Different in the U.S.
In the battle for Congress, redistricting has become all the rage in America. Here’s how other nations handle this issue differently.

Here in University-Rosedale, the Liberals have appointed a candidate to run in a by-election to replace Chrystia Freeland who has a very progressive sheen, so we can embrace the notion of a great big tent.
I know liberals see this as "Yay! Building up that majority! Bleeding Poilievre dry!"
But for the rest of us, this is a huge red flag.
These people ran on a platform of hate, xenophobia and fear mongering. What does it say that they feel seen by the Liberals right now? Yikes.

Labour is expected to get trounced in local elections this May. Unfortunately, many of those seats will go to Reform UK, but Greens should pick up others.
These local elections & the parliamentary by-election in Gorton and Denton next week could persuade more to vote Green in the General.

Even if RefUK wins these elections (local & by-), if Greens come 2nd and Labour a poor 3rd (or worse) - especially in seats that Labour now holds - it would smash Labour's argument that only it can stop RefUK in the General Election, and more of present Labour voters would vote tactically Green.

Hillary won the Popular vote, which was nullified by the Electoral College system. Something Clinton and Dems have refused to abolish. Trump didn't rig the 16 election. Dems kept propping up the EC and it cost them a win in 2000 and in 2016.

And why is that, exactly? Lemme guess, you think that the amount of votes the Democrats would lose by passing popular policies like Medicare for all and abolishing ICE would be greater than the election-flipping amount of votes they're currently losing from people on the left abstaining?

Worth noting that by doing this DeSantis created the additional cost of running another election two weeks after the regular municipal elections.
In a classic Florida story, this special election was both caused by *and* delayed by Ron DeSantis, who tapped a loyalist despised by the House GOP for a local post in Palm Beach County.
Then he refused to call an election until the Dem pictured below, Emily Gregory, sued. Now it's on for March 24.
