get that OUT of my face posted:

politico has a good article about the young, mostly progressive challengers to old, mostly moderate democrats in places like NYC, Massachusetts, and Chicago. for some bonus points: spot the profiled challenger that doesn't belong!

one of those established democrats getting a challenge, Joe Crowley, has also been trying to establish himself as a would-be leader of House dems, but he's probably tilting at windmills. pelosi is poo poo and needs to step aside as leader, but at the very least, she talked about protecting immigrants for eight hours on the House floor, so she's taken more of a stand on an issue than crowley has

crowley let himself get sidelined by boomers in exchange for the vague promise of oneday being given power. guy is an absolute dipshit and he's gonna have all the stuff thats "his" taken by some young progressive lol

Theyll figure out a way to gently caress it up

the good/bad thing is that pretty much no one outside of degenerate political junkies like us actually pay attention to congress. theyre far more likely to vote based on the quality of candidates in elections so the fact that the dems in congress are paid opposition matters surprisingly little

oh yeah i completely forgot CO as a destination place, but not likely still. CO at least had legal weed to drive it, and boulder and denver being p rad. thjeres absolutely nothing rad about wy except yellowstone/tetons and no one lives there

wyoming is nice 7 months out of the year. not good, just nice.

its abso-loving-lutly miserable the other 5 months due to 40 mph freezing winds. also no one in their right mind will move here with the plan of staying long term due to a complete lack of worker protections.

anybody with enough professional pull to telecommute with california is pulling in a high enough salary to live comfortably in montana or colorado. this state is a complete wasteland culturally, economically, and literally.

Texas should be terrified that the majority of the growth in the state is mostly all democrats coming into the cities. If that ever gets flipped there will never be a Republican president ever. Like ever ever. Never ever ever.

at least SF (and most big cities probably, but SF is the only combined city/county) voted for it, which makes sense seeing as half of the population would be evicted without it...the only county that did lol


there were some good results in CA, like rohrbacher losing and affordable housing funds and homeless services and better standards for farm animals were all approved

then theres the extremely good stuff like rejecting expanded rent control, and ensuring that EMTs never can have a break so that big corporations can save a buck, and rejecting public banking in LA, and allowing dialysis clinics to continue to price gouge people lmao :ca:

hey at least theres some good. it aint over until you give up :)

There are some oddities in the voting pattern (iirc, a significant number of people voted for attorney general but didn't vote in the senate race AT ALL, and who the gently caress does that?) However, the county that's still county legitimately broke florida public records laws by not reporting how many ballots they have left, HOWEVER HOWEVER they're apparently still finding ballots stashed in closets and clearly don't actually KNOW how many ballots they have left.
The sheer vehemence with which rick scott is opposing these efforts however is leading some to suspect he's worried about getting caught electioneering.

the florida gop frauding so hard that they actually get caught a blow an election they otherwise won would be peak 2018

why is it just accepted wisdom around this forum specifically that bernie is the only person who could have a shot in 2020? why wouldnt he get ratfucked and voter suppressed ten times harder than an abrams or gillum, particularly if we're in the midst of a recession or the banks feel one coming? not to mention how one sided the corporate media coverage would be, along with a million other institutional advantages the right would bring to bear if someone as unapologetic about his version of socialism as he is came within striking distance of winning the presidency

because we gain literally nothing by being "rational"
