A New Politics Thread

if you close your eyes Shapiro sounds almost exactly like Obama.

[MDS]

shapiro is going to run in 2028...hes going to win his re election in 2026 then move right to president. hes too lame to win a nationalized primary but he gonna try

fetterman looking very good here, amazingly. i think what theyre waiting for is the vote totals in the philly burbs.

the house is in play? this would be insanity.

GA going to a run off. highly likely at 50-49 so id imagine republicans sit it out and warnock can coast. that means joe machin no longer has any power. yes.

[phattymatty]

according to kornacki who I trust with my life we are doing well.

[MDS]

nyt up to fetterman 95% chance of victory. yes. yes. yes.

tim waltz holds MN. WI/AZ gov is the key now. hold that we are in the game for 2024.

kornacki now saying the house is basically in toss up territory. lotta CA races to go that wont be called for weeks. buckle the farg in.

Im sure I'm not alone in finding out who that psycho Kari lake's opponent was until today.  You'd think the DNC would have given Katie hobbs a bit more of a platform against the worst person in the world.  or they were smart and it doesn't;t matter since she is so terrible.

House didn't go nearly as bad as was predicted. For a midterm it went surprisingly well.

Senate looking good

Red wave my ass.

Here come the "It was rigged". Go farg your self.

[Diomedes]

It's not Warnock voters going for Kemp, it's Kemp voters choosing Warnock.

If a racist has no choice but to vote for a black man, they choose the one who can speak in full sentences.

on point

I'm not as high on Moore as y'all are.  We'll see after a couple years of being in power...he's super inexperienced and untested.  I hope he's as good at running a government as he is as talking to breathless NPR hosts.

[MDS]

for PA i think erie county is always a good bellwether...super maga area with a number of old school union dems

trump won in 16, biden squeaked out a win in 20. this year:
fetterman 53, shapiro 60.

lackawana, where scranton is, is another. solid solid D county. 16 was hillary +5, biden +7 in 2020. this year:
fetterman 56, shapiro 61

these are all blowouts. these 2 are hitting or exceeding bidens margins in every single county. impressive.

fetterman hit 92.5% in my neighborhood, shapiro 95%. yessir.

We won't talk about how my county voted...

I obviously have no idea if he'll be good at governing either, I'm just happy it's a young, good looking, likable guy and not some stodgy old blue hair.

Our one big local race i was watching stayed blue

also another one is likely to flip from red to blue

Not too shabby

The gqp meltdown this morning is glorious

[Rome]

I was chatting with my non-Trumper Republican gal pal this morning.  I started off by saying Charlie Crist was the single-worst candidate I've ever seen and I was surprised DeSantys didn't win by 25.

She was legitimately taken aback.  She thought I was going to cry like a GQP bitch about how unfair it was and I said, uh, Democrats don't play that game. We lose, we shrug and move on. 

Only idiots and iceholes cry about it being "rigged" when they lose.

The look on her face was almost worth the DeSantis blowout.
