https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/1060355325243674624 538 is projecting Democrats will win the House with a 37 seat majority. That's actually pretty great, especially after all the disappointing results last night. As far as I know, most sites were projecting a 32 seat majority for the Democrats.

And yes, R +2 means 538 seems to favor Sinema, like Cohn/NYT last night. Going to be really close.

+37 would actually knock the GOP below 200 seats which is pretty cool.

Closest is CA-10 at +1.2% GOP, which I guess is just about possible if there's a whole hell of a lot of outstanding ballots to be found, I think the others are all pretty much done. Doesn't California have a shitton of mail-in ballots to sort through? I thought I read that some haven't even reached the office.

The Glumslinger posted:The only person who could have given her a challenge lost to AOC in the primary. The only dude left who is likely to try is a straightup blue dog. This has been mentioned before in the old Trump thread but Tim Ryan isn’t a Blue Dog and has a much more progressive voting record in Congress than Beto O’Rourke. I don’t think he should be Speaker but I also don’t think people should just repeat outright lies like this. He’s shed all of his lovely positions years ago and gave back the only donation he ever received from the NRA. He’s virtually identical in politics to Sherrod Brown who most describe as a progressive populist.

The progressive populist who.... challenged Pelosi from her right. Normal poo poo to say after your progressive ally fails to unseat Pelosi posted:Some of Pelosi’s biggest detractors fear that the results will only empower the more coastal liberal wings. “Nothing’s going to change anytime soon. We’re going to be in the minority for the next 15 years,” said Rep. Kurt Schrader (D-Ore.), co-chairman of the Blue Dog Coalition, a centrist group. He added that Democrats need to develop “a farm team that’s not just the socialist side of our party.” Schrader needs to be commended for his dedication to the Blue Dog tradition of being loving wrong about everything though.

I mentioned to someone I'd gone canvassing and donated money to close races this year. They told me I'd wasted my time and that I was blinded by Cold War propaganda for believing there was any point to participating in American democracy, then said that I was delusional for thinking I could "prevent the upcoming civil war." When I asked what they'd done to advance left wing causes, they didn't answer, nor at any point did they give me any specifics about what I should actually be doing instead. That was a fun conversation.

He seems so affable and just reasonable enough that you could reach through his wrong-headedness and hate with the right argument, but in the end he is what he is and there's no denying that behind all that charisma lies nothing but pure evil. He really is Big Boss.

Tim Ryan is a conservative shithead who sees where the wind is blowing and is drifting right as fast as possible Pelosi is a vaguely progressive Dem who believes that, as a leadership figure, it's her responsibility to pretend to be a centrist rear end in a top hat so as not to embarrass House members to her right

Main Paineframe posted:Tim Ryan is a conservative shithead who sees where the wind is blowing and is drifting right as fast as possible What exactly makes him “conservative”? Or are you just being hyperbolic? I’m genuinely curious since, as mentioned, he is a founding member of the Medicare For All Caucus and years ago shed any Blue Dog positions. The only thing you can maybe argue is that he’s against free trade, which...so is Sherrod Brown and he’s one of the most progressive members of the senate.
