I think we might know where all the missing Dem ballots went
This is Ethan Shaotran. He's one of Musk's DOGE takeover hackers
2 yrs ago he won the Berkeley AI Hackathon
But in 2000 won the HackGT7 with a ballot altering program called BallotProof
Here's the deep dive that he couldn't scrub....
I was talking about this the other night with a friend. We kind of agree that now is a good time for a shift. The Democrat party has never been so powerless. Either a drastic realignment of the Democrat party (what I think will happen) or a truly leftist party supplanting them (what I hope happens) has never been more likely. Fighting right wing authoritarian populism with vaguely liberal platitudes just doesn’t work. Kamala’s massive defeat proved that. I think the midterm election will be a test of left wing unity. Can we rally behind a coherent message? Or will we see a bunch of Democrats running on a platform of “we’re not maga so vote for us” again?
Once again, just want to make clear that I’m an outsider looking at news articles and memes, so forgive me if I’m speaking out of turn here. But based on what I’ve seen so far, this seems unlikely to me. All I’ve seen from the Democrats at this point is how they’re getting annoyed with progressives for pushing them to actually do their jobs. And all indications look like they’re more interested in attracting ‘reasonable’ right wingers and fence sitting centrists that weigh up the pros and cons of human rights vs egg prices, than actually trying to attract left wing voters.
The current Democrat party is like that, yes. However, if this proves ineffective, you’ll see more Democrat candidates with an experimental message. Historically, this is how it has played out. We are currently in the 6th party system. Which means that the parties have had drastic realignment 5 times already. I think we’re entering the 7th party system.
