An issue worth watching. The consistency of the error is statistically improbable.

How off was the RCP House Generic ballot since 2014 on September 12th of that year:

2014: 1.8 points off against GOP
2016: 3.7 off
2018: 0.2 off against Dems
2020: 2.9 against GOP
2022: 3.3 against GOP
2024: 4.0 against GOP

Gonna try something different in the mid-terms. I refuse to vote for Talarico or Paxton. No way in Hell. To send a message, will vote for any Democrat candidate that has denounced Socialism.

In Trump's two years in office with a slim majority in both Houses, the Republicans have done absolutely nothing. (Other than maybe the "Big Beautiful Bill".) It is time to do something different. Need to put some guard rails up for Trump for the remainder of his term. He has inflicted great damage.

Rubber stamping horrible candidates just because they are in my tribe is bull$_hit. Not doing it anymore. If we have to tear it down to rebuild, then so be it.

Amazing the degree someone will go to, to justify to themselves doing what they know is wrong.

Eighty percent of Americans support The Save Act, yet the Republicans (who control both houses) can't even get it to the floor for a vote. Talk about not following the will of the people! They are ineffective if not totally worthless. You seem to be content just doing what you're doing. That is fine. I have had enough.

You are willingly assisting the party you know is far worse than the Republicans.

The primaries are where you tell the GOP who and what you will accept.

The general election is where you hold your nose and do what is better than the alternative, if you get a Republican who is not what you want.

NC candidate who is "running to restore human decency" says Trump voters belong in Nazi ovens

One correction: Dachau was the first concentration camp (it opened near Munich in March 1933, weeks after Hitler came to power). It was not an "extermination camp". That was not its main purpose, although thousands did die there over the next dozen years. The Holocaust was primarily conducted at six extermination camps operating mainly for that purpose, all in Poland: Auschwitz, Sobibor, Treblinka, etc.
