What message did voters send? Did America change
political direction, or just reject the current direction? How much
do the results indicate that no one Party or Ideology has a hold on a majority
of voters—with Independents holding the most decisive cards?
How should Democrats read Election results? Anti-Trump
sentiment doesn’t equate to America embracing Democrats. Will Democrats move
toward debating ideas more than engaging in combat? Are there opportunities for
compromise? What kind of change did voters indicate they wanted? More
Legislation? Or greater Oversight?
How big a factor was Socialism in Tuesday’s election
results? How important might “Socialism” resonate now as part of a very large Democrat
Majority? Consider how would AOC fare as the Democrat’s 2028 Nominee in
Texas, Kansas, South Carolina, Georgia, Iowa?
How should Republicans outside the White House read
what happened? Will they engage in different ideas with Democrats? Or
continue to see anyone who differs with Trump as enemies? And how do you feel having
hyper-combative Stephen Miller as Chief of Staff will affect Republicans?
Muslims are now in key offices. How big a risk to
America are Muslim-Americans? Are they fundamentally at odds with the
values shared by most of us? Or is Islamophobia as irrational and morally wrong
as Antisemitism? Is attributing evil beliefs or actions of individuals and
extremist movements with those of an entire group the same mistake that continues
to fuel Antisemitism?
What kind of 2028 Nominee will Republicans seek? From
the MAGA lane? Or from the more Traditional Lane? What about Vance? Rubio?
DeSantis? Haley? Cruz? Who else comes to
mind?
What kind of 2028 Nominee will Democrats seek? From
the Progressive/“Socialist” Lane? Or the Moderate Lane? Newsom? Ossoff? AOC?
Shapiro? Buttigieg? Emanual? Who else comes to mind?
Cash did not buy access to Democracy. Did we
prove that Democracy belongs to the People?
Are conspiracy theories about election fraud mostly a
political weapon—used not necessarily to prove an election was stolen, but to
convince voters that elections cannot be trusted?
Big Picture: What does America truly want from
its President? Does America really want a President who treats political
opponents as enemies, or one who recognizes that governing requires compromise,
respect for institutions, and an ability to bring people together? What would
it take for us to become a country that is governed more than campaigned
to… ...where COMPETENCE is respected more than "performance"?
Did Tuesday's election demonstrate that our democracy is working as the
Founding Fathers intended—or remind us how much work remains to make it work?
What might happen now with the Supreme Court? What
now, given Supreme Court Justices Alito and Thomas thinking of retirement?
Impeach Hegseth? Yet, how much does any Secretary
speak for anyone else but Trump?
Why do you believe Trump cancelled $4B in aid to Israel?
Bibi says it’s not a problem.
Opposition Leader Eisenkot is tapped to try to form a
new Israeli Government. Might Arabs decide the future of Israeli Leadership?
A senior Arab lawmaker from the Joint List says his party is willing to support
an opposition government to remove Netanyahu, even without joining the
government itself. Eisenkot's dilemma: he has an opportunity now to form a
government with Arab support, but some of his potential partners hate that idea.
Lieberman also publicly opposed including Arab parties in the government. And Netanyahu's
political strategy has long emphasized keeping Arab parties outside the
governing process. Might we be looking at another election?
What does it say about America that we can mobilize
nearly $12 billion to elect people to political office, while continuing to
struggle with hunger, homelessness, and access to healthcare? This had to
be the most expensive Mid-Term election in US history. Is this simply the price
of maintaining a competitive democracy? Or does it reveal something deeper
about our values, the influence of money in politics, and what we collectively
choose to prioritize?
How big a factor was “Corruption” in this Election?
Do you feel renewed strikes will help end the War?
We told Gulf Arab countries to be prepared for a short, intense military
campaign after the Midterm elections. Sen. Murphy warns of “devastating escalation”.
Should we revert to Putin-like tactics, targeting civilian targets, if that may
end the war?
Is it OK to not be fully informed about the
War? Is it in America best interests that extensive damage by Iran’s strikes be
suppressed? AP found, using satellite imagery, that in August more than 115
drone or missile strikes claimed by Iran or Iranian-backed militias damaged or
destroyed structures on 26 military bases and other sites causing billions of
dollars in equipment damage.
Newsom commutes the sentences of all 548 death row
inmates. Do you support this?
Has Trump been treated unfairly by Mainstream Media?
Are there valid reasons for him to replace the Press Pool with Roosevelt’s old
swimming pool? The proximity of the media to the seat of U.S. executive
power has long been an acknowledgment of the importance of a free press in a
constitutional democracy. What’s the possible benefit to our country by diminishing this
institution?
