WHOA: There is now an 82% chance that 6 or MORE House Democrats LOSE their primary this year...which would be the largest number in over 50 years.

CNN is now calling the Democrat Party’s socialist takeover a “new Tea Party.”

CNN: “It could get even worse! In fact, it’s likely to get even worse.”

“So if you look at the Kalshi prediction market and the chance that 6 House Democrats go down to defeat, lose their primary in 2026, this number has consistently, over the last week or so, been hovering 80 - 90%.”

“And when we talk about history books, right, if in fact 6 House Democrats went down to defeat in 2026, it would be by FAR the largest number. It would be the largest number in a post-redistricting cycle for Democrats in, get this, over 50 years!”

“That’s why I got this picture of the Tea Party on your screen right now, because you know what? It’s 250, but also, it’s a new Tea Party for Democrats.”

This is a paradigm shift in politics.

While that is bad,it speaks to just how bad the other party is doing to be predicted to lose even given that potentially coming to fruition.

I find it difficult to take Kalshi seriously when only a handful of account really make money. Take that for what you will.

Kalshi is a CFTC-regulated U.S. prediction market platform where users trade event contracts (mostly yes/no) on real-world outcomes like elections, sports, economics, weather, awards, and more. Contract prices (e.g., 60¢ for "Yes") are interpreted as the market's implied probability of the event occurring.

kalshi.com

Overall AccuracyKalshi prices are broadly informative and reasonably well-calibrated as probability forecasts, especially in high-liquidity markets near resolution. They often improve as expiration approaches and can outperform polls in some high-profile cases (e.g., correctly signaling a Trump win in 2024 when some polls suggested a toss-up).

cepr.org

A large academic study of over 300,000 Kalshi contracts found that prices broadly reflect win rates (a ~50¢ contract wins ~50% of the time), with accuracy increasing closer to expiry.

For high-liquidity events, calibration is strong: a 70% contract resolves yes roughly 70% of the time.

In the 2024 election cycle, Kalshi achieved ~78% accuracy on political markets (per one Vanderbilt study comparing platforms), better than Polymarket (~67%) but behind PredictIt (~93%). Note that "accuracy" definitions vary—some focus on directional correctness, others on calibration (how well probabilities match realized frequencies).

Context and ComparisonsKalshi is generally viewed as more conservative/reliable than crypto-based Polymarket due to regulation and user base, but both face criticism for not always being "efficient" information aggregators.

goodauthority.org

They excel at high-profile events with lots of liquidity and public information but are imperfect tools—treat prices as crowd wisdom with biases, not truth.
Kalshi itself publishes research on calibration and compares to other methods.

Bottom line: Kalshi has been reasonably accurate for a prediction market—better than random or many surveys in aggregate, especially near resolution in liquid markets—but exhibits favorite-longshot bias, liquidity dependence, and occasional inefficiencies. It's a valuable forecasting signal when used cautiously alongside other data, not a crystal ball. For the most current performance, check Kalshi's open data/API or independent analyses, as markets evolve.

I don't trust whatever the media says, but I will say that most Americans still think socialism is a bad idea and will vote anyone NOT socialist or associated with that political party.

With keeping that in mind, I highly encourage the ECL (evil communist left) to continue talking about how they want open borders, no senate, and abolishing the administrative branch of government in clear violation of the US Constitution.

Republicans could easily win, just as the Democrats can easily win. Before the redistricting it was most definitely going to a Democrat sweep. 
Both parties are corrupt to me but one at this moment in time has Trumped all other previous administrations with in your face blatant corruption and insider trading.
And if you think the most important group of voters the independents are not very closely watching what is happening right now then you have not been paying attention. 
And that could be your folly sir.

I beg to differ, you don't trust the media your president tells you not to trust. The smart thing to do would be to specifically listen to the media that is directly being attacked. Such as what topic is the government pushing back on the most. That is your story, ignore what happens when they get upset and lash out to throw you off the scent.

I much enjoyed your second sentence though! It's ridiculous but that is what makes it so good!

When I go directly to the Kalshi web site they have the dem's taking the house and senate in the midterms, and sweeping in 2028.
