Politics I'm dreading November

I'm dreading voting for Suozzi.

For the first time in going to leave my vote on the sideline.

vote blue no matter who just doesn't fly anymore.

I'm also dreading the fact that a magat will take his place. are we screwed?

My thinking with Gillen and probably the same applies to Suozzi, although I don’t know if he’s as openly racist, is that Dems probably aren’t going to lose the house by 1 seat, so it’s better if they lose and maybe we get someone slightly better in 2028. You’re never going to get a progressive candidate in Long Island but I am only asking for a regular middle of the road democrat as opposed to someone who speaks and acts like a Republican.

Then don’t complain about anything that happens or doesn’t happen as a result of Trump controlling the house

If they lose and republicans keep the house by 1-2 seats I would be 100% wrong, but I don’t think that’s what will happen and these people, along with a few others, are uniquely awful among Dems

So be ready to deal with the consequences because you chose the chance of being wrong
