"November is going to be brutal for the left."

My advice to Republicans and/or Conservatives are the immortal words of Han Solo, "Don't get cocky."

Brutal if we don’t let them cheat before, during, and after the election.

"blames the right’s control of the mainstream press for pushing unfair narratives against the left as soft on crime." This must be the thing the 'journalists' are told to say. I've heard it from several different outlets in the last few weeks. I'm still not sure how you have ONE right leaning TV outlet, the WSJ and NYPost as 'CONTROLLING" the mainstream press vs the multitude of left leaning outlets!

Let's hope your analysis is correct. Remember the American people pit the current crowd in. Also let's remember we need to tell the voters what to expect from us, and what can be done in the next two years if conservatives are back controlling both the house and the senate. Remember that without a clear statement of what can be done for the two years Biden has the veto, 2024 will shape up with the new congress doing nothing. Then what? We would need a veto proof majority to actually get much of anything done. What can Congress do about the border? What can Congress do about returning a sense of morality to the county? What can Congress do to lower inflation? November will get here, let's hope it is not even more a mess by then...but I suspect it will be. May God have mercy on us.

Erick, you need to edit sentence #2 as follows "Bill Ayers (Weather Underground founder, who bombed police stations and the Pentagon resulting in numerous fatalities, and from whom Barack Obama sought advice on launching his political career)"

It may be a bit wordy, but its more accurate.

"Waldman, like much of the left, blames the right’s control of the mainstream press for pushing unfair narratives against the left as soft on crime."

The left's defense is straight up gas lightning.

I don't know how "defund the police" does not equal "soft on crime". Even the "equitable" argument equals soft on crime because we can't have an honest discussion about what culture commits a disproportionate amount of crime; which is a direct result of liberal policies.

Sometimes you get the right answer for the wrong reason. No, California is not suddenly moderate. While the current situation is untenable it will take a lot more to connect it directly to the liberal policies they themselves support.

Elect people who will serve the public and not the special interests.

Lawlessness has become the norm and no action means no life as we know it. Take the gloves off!
