This is exactly what I meant by this btw Gillibrand is *DSCC Chair* and this is so craven while also being incompetent it’s honestly kind of funny She & Schumer wanted to push McMorrow out, but if MM is a socialist, why wouldn’t her support flow to AES?
Moulton was one of the -21 Ds to vote for the HEATS act -22 Ds to vote for a resolution condemning crypto regulation -9 Ds to vote against allowing the DOD to say the US has a racist past In all of these cases he was voting with all Rs, and he frequently does vote with Rs on messaging resolutions
Extremely cold take (imo), but if Joe Kennedy had ran this year instead of 2020, he’d beat Markey by like 10-20 And it’s genuinely unfortunate he’s not the alternative this year, bc Markey’s refusal to retire could lead to a materially worse senator than Kennedy
We’ve seen exactly how this goes: NYC mayor 2021; Garcia lost by 0.8% to Adams, but Wiley would’ve lost 45-55 (per the CVR) Garcia was ideologically in between, so her voters split but Wiley’s flowed to her. They’ve done the equivalent of insisting on Wiley, ofc it’s failing!
I only articulated my own POV here (didn’t even suggest people act a certain way!) and it also wasn’t the main point of my post, so I’m kind of bewildered by this response But yeah, I look at the global death & suffering caused by this admin and think even Manchin would be highly preferable
I unironically believe Talarico is ahead rn, but Paxton is broke & would get out-raised by a lemonade stand The R PACs are in a standoff trying to make the others step in bc they *hate* Paxton, but (a lot of) $$$ will eventually flow against JT. Need to see how he holds up then
I keep seeing ME-02 mentioned as a glaring absence from the DCCC “red to blue” list … but isn’t the whole point of that list that you’re supposed to be flipping the seat? 😭 Ds have ME02! It would be blue to blue!
Curious how close this one ends up being Galán-Woods won Election Day votes by 15, and I think it’s very possible she would have won if the DCCC didn’t intervene to support her
If I ever stop posting assume I’ve died from some sleep deprivation-related occurrence
Not particularly invested (as long as it’s not Wood) but 2014 as an argument against Bellows is so brainless that it’s painful Ricketts lost Nebraska (Bush+33) by 28 in 2006 but won by 25 in 2024 2014 was not a contested election, it means nothing 😵💫
You can’t tell me a lot of people online didn’t embraced Platner just bc they were gleeful at how upset he made establishment figures I’ve said my piece on Cuomo, but I think getting sucked into this type reflexive behavior & thinking is a real disservice to yourself and your causes
Shah openly calling for M4A here is definitely a sign he’s campaigning for the nomination lol Some post-primary triangulation as well for sure
It’s a weird limbo rn: Shah has expressed interest, but Pingree Bellows & Jackson cross-endorsed against him CVR shows Bellows was the clear 2nd for Gov & Jackson is the most ideologically faithful replacement but we dk if either are interested fairvote.org/analyzing-main…
Sara Gideon the bat signal has been activated since November of last year now is your time to shine
NYT calls Weiser’s win an upset, but in the last days before the election, all I’d heard from people in CO was that Bennet seemed completely cooked lol CO’s felt particularly interesting wrt how people have perceived & talked about the races, ig social circles matter a lot
Sure we’ve all seen by now, but Fox has Ossoff +13 and KLB +5 in Georgia Don’t think a big Ossoff win is unreasonable at all
Colorado is a universal VBM state, and yet notice how they managed to get almost 90% of the vote counted within 8 hours of polls closing? You’re on flop watch California (as usual)
The Dem caucus is going to be so much more attractive with him in it, it’s not even funny
Stronger showing for Gonzales than I expected, but pending other results it still seems like a narrow loss Bennet and DeGette seem immensely cooked to me
The fact that four of the justices read “all persons born in the US are citizens of the US” and then said that ending birthright citizenship is totally fine is more proof that all the “constitutional conservatism” and “textualism” is pure bullshit They’re just unabashed hacks
pretty much exactly where the vibes are right now in TX (imo) Indies: JT +27, Hinojosa +7 Black: JT +67, Hinojosa +58 Optimistic case for Talarico is that undecideds are just 35% White and -36 on Trump approval (Pessimistic case is that some soft Rs will come home to Paxton)
Gauging the age of this electorate will be nearly impossible until after tomorrow Denver's 2022 primary: % of ballots returned on eday voters <35: 55% (!) voters 65+: 21% (also use this as a PSA that there could be HUGE differences in early vs later results)
Here's CO's same-day primary ballot choice for the past few primaries Returns so far this year are D+19, and they were R+5 in 2022. Unaffiliated voters are pulling D ballots by a 40% margin, they were R+13.4 in 2022
