Episode notes
What Early Polls Actually Tell Us
- Polling this far from 2026 is unreliable and swings widely, so avoid overreacting to early numbers.
- Track the generic ballot, Trump's approval, and public feeling about the economy as the most predictive indicators.
Why Midterms Can’t Be Simply Canceled
- Elections cannot be unilaterally canceled by the president because states run them and certification processes have legal guardrails.
- The real risks lie in pre-election suppression, certification fights, and coordinated mischief, not a simple cancellation.
Invest In Independent Media Reach
- Build relationships with independent and progressive media rather than just mimicry or memes.
- Prioritize long-form interviews and creators on YouTube and TikTok to reach new audiences directly.
