i think republicans only need to win control of one more state before they can start changing the constitution, so put aside some cynicism for a second. i'm flat broke though so i can't give

also, is "MAGA" just "TCOT" for internet nazis? i keep seeing it around and i have no idea what it means other than it's used by pieces of poo poo

this is just a taste of 2018. we're in a conservative renaissance unfortuneatly
arguably we've been in one since reagan, and the world has followed suit at various times (britain's been with us since the beginning with maggie). at some point there needs to be pushback

i'm glad that she's knocking on doors, it's the most effective thing you can do on a campaign. you'd be surprised how much face-to-face contact matters

i got invited to a phonebank to help out this race next week, but it's on Thursday night and i have a class at the same time. otherwise i'd definitely be there making some phones ring

Go door to door tomorrow or Sunday if you can. Door to door is more effective, and I think it's fun.
shoulda mentioned that i'm in NYC, but it's cool that there are people here who want to help out. but yeah, door-to-door is the most effective way to reach out. you'd be surprised how much face-to-face contact helps in a race

To everyone celebrating:this was triage, nothing more.

Go and have a beer or whatever, but the fighting has just started.
it's vastly important that another state legislature didn't swing to the Republicans, because if they get enough they can defile the very constitution that they pretend to worship. but i agree, we gotta keep fighting, and elect not just democrats, but actually good, non-corporate democrats

ossoff's platform is mostly good. "affordable" is a weasel word for healthcare and higher education, and he has a thing about investigating russian involvement which is foolish to make as a defining campaign issue. other than that, he seems solid- anti-citizens united, pro-Planned Parenthood, presumably pro-choice even though there's nothing in the platform that says either way

he's already raised $250k from non-PAC donors

oh hey, the high school i graduated from is located in the 32nd district. apparently it hasn't been repped by a Democrat since the mid-1930s and it's easy to see why, it's a mostly rural area outside of the Waterbury suburbs, which is probably filled with people who get angry about being close to a poor, unsafe city
