Just now from James Carville

"You didn't believe them when they said they were going to overturn Roe v. Wade. They did. They now say they are going to eliminate Social Security and Medicare. Believe them."

I guess they are hoping that people will die off, like with Covid, and younger voters will be more impressionable and easier to manipulate.

Lack of higher education in young male adults contributes to incels, etc. Young women are going to college and that pisses them off even more.

I read a report on the connection and it is pretty clear.

And yes the dems need to hammer this hard after all people paid into this from thier very first pay check to thier last.

Its not an entitlement program its savings for when you no longer work.

Dems need to say the republicans want to rob your retirement money

Those are likely close races in areas that have been historically blue.

MSNBC. He is absolutely right - the Dems should take his suggestions seriously!

I try so hard to watch Reidout after Ari's show but I cannot tolerate the way that Joy shouts and goes on and on about nothing! I love some of the guests she has on but can't even watch those interviews. I switch to podcasts until Chris Hayes' show comes on.

But I have to agree with you here:

"I try so hard to watch Reidout after Ari's show but I cannot tolerate the way that Joy shouts and goes on and on about nothing!"

She talks about important things--sometimes. But I no longer watch her show. I only watch Rach, Nicole, Lawrence, Ali when he fills in, Katie Phang (Love Ali and Katie), and Rev. Al sometimes.

about an explosive ad I thought. What's with the shift to Reid? Just so you can plug Hayes, Ali et al on MSNBC. I smell something akin to what...can not quite remember the word. But it does not smell positive with what you started with your diversion to Reidout to shoot her down...she is a Democrat and has a very loyal following. I should go further with this discovery but I'm not going to waste my time. Have a good one.

Because Republicans DON’T want to help you.

They don’t see why they should have to.

DO NOT FORGET: these are the “you’re on your own” people. It’s just not in their interest to help anybody but themselves.

And ironically, they’ll also be the same ones who claim rather loudly and in-yer-face what devout Christians they are.

Here in Texas, there is an ad that tiptoes around the murder accomplice in the governor's chair. It talks about how children in Uvalde were lost, that shoppers in El Paso were lost because of abbot. There weren't lost. They were killed. They were blown apart by a weapon that abbot defends.

Here in Texas, they are sending children home with DNA testing kits so that their bodies can be identified after the next Uvalde. The kits come in a red, white, and blue envelope from the "State of Texas" with the heartwarming message "A gift of Safety from our family to yours". They won't do anything to stop your children from being slaughtered, but we will help you identify which body parts are yours afterwards.
