I dunno, but the AP has alerted me to the existence of (Republican) VA Statehouse candidate Gaydonna Vandergriff.

That's great, perhaps the US can gently caress off then and let the people who live there teach capital and their mercenary lackeys a lesson without the CIA, NED, and a half dozen other regime change outlets show up and coup leftist leaders?

Translation: “I don’t give two shits about whatever horrors befall Central Americans as long as the US stays out of it. Let’s ignore them the same way we ignored central Africa. I prefer a US that walks away from its messes same as a Trumpster does, except I call it leftism.”

A home-grown leftist insurrection ain’t gonna be unseating the gangs any time soon.

My last school wasn’t just majority-minority, it was literally 70%+ El Salvadoran immigrants and the children of El Salvadoran immigrants. I had kids who literally lost siblings and parents to cartel violence, kids who saw family members and acquaintances violently killed, tortured, or sexually assaulted- or experienced assault or torture themselves.

I had kids with carte-blanche “trauma privileges” who could literally peace out of class to the counseling office whenever they needed to.

You can go ahead and fall off your high horse. And then get trampled by it.

Fox News is portraying it as "AP has just reversed their calling the race to too close to call" and emphasizing Bevins not conceding. Is the bit about AP true? I couldn't tell looking at AP's site.

Even if one candidate doesn't concede why don't the news orgs call it when all the votes are in and counted?

It's a 5,000+ vote margin out of 1.4 million votes cast. Florida was <1,000 and it had almost 6 million cast. A recount ain't gonna change the election.

People also often confuse lack of government policy with lack of US role. Often times it just means that the most unscrupulous capitalists do whatever drat they want.

take a quick look at what the Salvador Option is, who did it, to where, and how many times. then guess who put those cartels in place.

there is a reason there are a lot of Salvadoran refugees in America. we put in an awful lot of work to make the place they lived.... ah, what is the preferred euphemism.... "business-friendly."

yea the fox crowd will crow over this for a while but if the SoS ratifies the election he's got nothing but a big old pit to dump his money into in which case go right ahead and enjoy it dude.

A lot of energy went into a mayoral and city council race in Ferndale to no effect. An endorsed good lefty did finally win a seat on city council elsewhere in metro Detroit though.

E; shouldn't say no effect, outreach is good, and only a few thousand people voted, but it was lopsided in favor of more luxury condos and restaurants

also yea while it is funny to dunk on republicans, it IS important to remember while this is a good core sample of the ~TrUmP bUmP~'s usefulness rapidly decreasing, you can't read a ton into Trump in this just because Trump's the cult head and Bevin was merely a disciple.

It's a mathematical inevitability with first past the post voting. Voters quickly realize how to vote strategically, so what happens is you get two parties of the most important issues clumped together semi-randomly that oscillate back and forth (and a bunch of disaffected voters)
