Former Trump campaign chairman and White House chief strategist Steve Bannon told his podcast viewers that Republicans should take Tuesday night’s losses to heart, saying: “The midterms start tonight, and the warning signs are flashing.” He observed that “Democrats just flipped two Georgia commissioners,” marking “their first statewide wins in 30 years.”

Far-right influencer Mike Cernovich (who spawned the “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory) tweeted: “Ted Cruz and Mark Levin are walking Trump into impeachments and then prison. 2026 will be a blood bath.” MAGA podcaster Jack Posobiec likewise warned that “2026 will be worse if we don’t course-correct.”

      Dude, that’s not an accurate description of her and you know it.

      On the genocide issue trump was far worse so idk what you want. If that was your excuse to not vote for her you are just lying at this point.

      She wasn’t the best candidate by any means so you could try attacking numerous things wrong with her but she wasn’t responsible for what Israel did so why choose that?

        …so why choose that?

        Because she was very clear that she wanted to continue supporting Israel. She openly gave up voters to keep supporting a genocide. Remember the “I’m speaking” bit she did when people were trying to get her to stop supporting genocide?

        Polling showed that was the biggest reason that she lost.

          Ok but did you ever wonder how trump was going support Israel because I’m pretty sure he was a billion times more supportive of the genocide than she was. So if there are 2 candidates and one is worse on the genocide issue why do you feel the need to target the lesser evil instead of the greater evil? It makes no sense.

          Anyone who really cared about the genocide would know there was a better chance that she would end it before trump would. If you wanted it to stop she would have been the better choice. Trump just gave Israel everything they asked for so is that better?

      If you thought Kamala wasn’t paying enough attention to suffering in Palestine, you could have protested and lobbied her to pay more attention to this issue, while still voting for her as president, on the basis that Trump is even more pro-Israel and even less sympathetic to Palestinians.

        People did that, and she blew them off.

          Politicians can change their mind though if there is enough political pressure on them. I just think it’s weird logic to think “I don’t like what is happening in Gaza so I would rather see Trump elected to the White House than Kamala Harris”. Since Trump has a history of being strongly pro-Israel and he doesn’t seem to have a lot of sympathy for civilians who are suffering.
