I do think this week provided support for the hypothesis that Trump benefited from Democrats nominating three pretty weak presidential candidates in a row. There's a lot of talent in the party that hasn't translated to the top of the ticket lately.

Mississippi used CREDIT reports to determine who is an active voter! Anyone who doesn’t have a credit card was listed as an INACTIVE VOTER!
There’s NO CONNECTION between using credit cards and voting! Many registered active voters had to fill out PROVISIONAL BALLOTS!

🚨 BREAKING: Plans to sell Texas’s Boca Chica State Park to Elon Musk have just been put on hold, a win for campaigners fighting to keep this haven for sea turtles and rare birds protected for good.

Democrats won this election by claiming we are on the side of working people, and working people are counting on us to deliver.

Mamdani getting elected and spending a year on extremely popular projects helped Dems everywhere imo.
He was supposed to be on the new Mount Rushmore of scary liberals. Saw him on lots of attack mailers. Didn't scare people at all.
When I sat down w Mamdani during the 2025 primary he said his model was Bernie in Burlington - the "ooh, scary socialist" mayor who capitalizes on all the attention he gets and makes civic improvements so it stops being scary. And so far that's clearly worked. semafor.com/article/06/12/20…

各种平台上台湾社达的言论令人恶心。
德州有女性因为无法堕胎死去,有绿卡甚至公民被ICE关押,公立学校越来越少。
投票站被共和党把持的州政府取消,但民众挨家挨户拜票,组织志愿车队送没有车的人去投票。
我们德州人行使了公民的权利。
你们一群没有选票的川粉在那里逼逼股票跌了。
你们算什么东西。
美国中期选举:民主党重回参众两院。这不仅是哪个政党的胜利,而是民主的胜利。
两年前,美国人曾经用选票表达了他们对现实政治的不满,有人选择对抗庸常,有人相信了那些充满诱惑的空头许诺。
但两年过去了,当他们看到 ICE 大肆抓捕移民,甚至发生枪杀移民的事件;看到自己选出的总统在俄罗斯侵略乌克兰的战争中立场失衡;看到权力被滥用,看到国会逐渐失去制衡行政权力的职责……。
他们再次拿起选票,给出了自己的答案。
没有人拥有上帝视角,也没有人能够保证自己永远做出正确的选择。民主从来不意味着人们不会犯错,而是意味着人们有机会纠正错误;不意味着权力永远掌握在正确的人手中,而是意味着人民始终拥有重新选择的权利。
这才是民主最珍贵的地方:它允许人们犯错,但不允许权力永远垄断纠错的机会。
在过去的几年里,我曾经敬重过的很多人,他们中,有曾被中共投入监狱的记者,有德高望重的反体制人士,也有一些身在海外的民主人士,疯狂追捧川普。
有人出于结束中共极权的迫切渴望,将希望寄托于美国,认为美国总统是撕裂中共极权最快、最有效的力量;有人信奉所谓的民主捷径;有人奉行社会达尔文主义,仿佛一旦有机会,便自动将自己代入那个高高在上的统治者角色;还有一些人,纯粹是骨子里崇拜强权,精神上永远爱爹。
讽刺的是,我们曾经把其中不少人视为民主的榜样。他们中的很多人,甚至被视为中国民主运动的标杆人物。
这或许是中国民主最大的悲哀之一:这些人并不是民主的思想,而缺少思想资源的我们,也缺乏真正的公民精神,我们都是民主穷N代。
今天,我们眼红心热地看着美国以及其他民主国家的选举。如果我们对民主的理解,仍然停留在狭隘的政党站队,只关心自己支持的政党能否获胜;如果一些人永远在政治风向中首鼠两端,不断变脸,昨天还在力挺川普,今天便断然割席,或者忙着寻找各种解释,那么,我们其实仍然继承着一种根深蒂固的中国式政治逻辑:胜利者不受谴责。
这种没有原则、没有根基的政治投机,恰恰说明,我们距离民主还有多远。
民主,是我们捍卫生存权与尊严的可靠机制;民主,是我们选择自己所热爱的生活方式的最好途径;民主意味着我们有权不做什么的自由……。
民主也绝不是群氓政治,更不是简单的少数服从多数。它真正珍贵的地方在于:即使你与众不同,即使你是少数,即使你不被大多数人喜欢,你依然拥有存在的权利,依然有权表达自己的声音,依然不应该被剥夺做自己的自由。
2017年德国大选前,我曾参加过前东德音乐家沃尔夫·比尔曼(Wolf Biermann)的一场助选演出。比尔曼是默克尔的好友,但那场演出并不是为默克尔所在的基民盟(CDU)拉票。
他在演出期间说:「选谁并不是最重要的。民主的意义在于包容他人。我们的巡演不强调任何政党的利益,唯一的目的,是希望大家抓住行使自己民主权利的机会。因为这样的机会,对一些国家的人来说,是一种奢侈的、根本无法得到的东西。」
民主不是让自己支持的人永远获胜,而是即使自己支持的人输了,也依然尊重规则;不是要求所有人拥有相同的立场,而是捍卫每个人拥有不同立场的权利。
如果一个人只在自己支持的政治力量获胜时才赞美民主,那么,他爱的可能从来不是民主,而只是胜利。
而我们真正需要学习的,或许不是如何赢得一场选举,而是如何成为一个能够承受不同意见、尊重他人权利,也敢于约束自己权力欲望的公民。

Yes, even if Trump is still the president, we can still get stuff done.
Don’t believe me? My housing affordability law—that Donald Trump refused to sign—became law last July.
And that was before we gained our majorities.
We MUST fight to deliver real change and lower costs.

Minnesota led the nation in voter turnout.
When faced with threats and intimidation, we vote.

WSJ: Since the election, Warren staffers have been telling lobbyists and other allies like housing and consumer-protection groups that her early actions as chairman (Senate Banking Committee), will be consistent with what she has been doing the last two years as the committee’s most senior Democrat—except now she will be driving the train… Anyone who got a letter should be on high alert, people close to her have said.
