I think the over under on Beto losing by only 4% is pretty good. Here's to hoping the loss won't shatter the naive.

I hate this nonsense. The actual quote is "fear is the mind killer" and the opposite of fear is not courage it is hope. Courage isn't the absence of fear it is when hope overcomes fear. There is always hope and when you give up hope that's when the forces of fear have won. Hope the best, plan for the worst and expect nothing. I hope Beto wins, if he doesn't I'll continue to do what I can to fight the fash and what happens will not destroy my ability to hope until I cease drawing breath. zoux posted:Well we'll know in a couple of days. No matter how bad Lupe may be she's still going to be better that the rolling homophobe so why the hell would you do something that stupid? Actually never mind the answer is obvious.

Another 357K early votes yesterday. 4.337M so far for 35 % turnout. edit: this is nice to see, but I also realize it's probably just a fraction of eligible voters. https://twitter.com/tbonier/status/1058040401901350912 skipdogg fucked around with this message at 19:23 on Nov 2, 2018 |

KIM JONG TRILL posted:While it would suck to lose a senate seat in loving NJ of all places, jettisoning menendez will ultimately be a good thing. yeah tbh if the difference is btwn 52 GOP or 53 GOP ditching menendez is prob a good thing (unless you expect 2020 will be really close too) OTOH if the difference is between 50 D + menendez/49R vs 50D/50R then you just have to hope the corrupt fuckface wins and resigns and the dem governor appoints his replacement

I concur completely. But national people don't give a poo poo about our local or state or even Congressional delegation, they just want Ted Cruz to lose and be sad and maybe be so sad he spends the rest of his life in a tiny ascetic cell in a European monastery

Chorrax posted:What's the best site for info on TX candidates to put up on my companies slack? I always used http://www.vote411.org because it lets you print out a note sheet to take to the polls after going through all the candidates. It's run by the League of Women's Voters and shows the candidates' answers to their questionnaire. Notably, Abbott and Ted Cruz did not answer the questions so their sections are just blank.
