Wait, so if these states go blue then that means maybe the dems are starting to turn things around, and the GOP is disappointing its people enough that they don't want to vote so much these days, and if this pattern holds then there's hope for 2020? And it's looking like something will possibly go okay???

Jesus, I forgot how uncomfortable the feeling of hope is. We're talking a GOP with a slimmer majority of congress reps, signs of a motivated electorate, and a cool 18~ million people living better in the slightly expanding blue zones. Is there a "lol something matters" gif?

I didn't even know there was a state that let ex-cons vote. I wish we could make that happen in Cali.

I don't like this, but only because it presumes Democrats lose 2020. :smith:

Do we have any interesting dem candidates yet? Is Roem eligible? How about that Sikh guy, he seems cool. Let's have a low drama infrastructure-focused president. The 2024 ad campaign writes itself.
"The republicans have been wasting their breath complaining about my turban/pronouns as well as the national debt, conveniently forgetting that the last two republican presidents expanded that debt to pay for needless wars and tax cuts on the rich. Meanwhile, I've spent four years advocating for repair -- roads, bridges, dams, and taxes. My name is [name] and I'll see you next year."

People just getting elected to mayor and to state houses aren't going jump to presidential material in 3 years, they need time to work up the chain

Nah, they could probably manage it if they try really hard. I mean like REALLY hard though, so don't tell me I'm being unrealistic. :colbert:

You would if folks bothered to pay any loving attention to the west coast.

I'm down for any plan that gets Diane Feinstein out of California, including this one.
