We could very well wind up in a situation where Democrats or Republicans have a two seat majority. As Icon of Sin mentioned, this could mean special elections are constantly re-determining control until 2024.

CommieGIR posted:There is a lot of Gerrymandering in Ohio https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/08/15/state-legislatures-are-torching-democracy. Their republican state legislature has basically gutted districts to solidify GOP gains. Sure, but the US senator slot is statewide race.

COVID and J6 were the encouragement I needed to pull up stakes and leave the country. I pay more taxes, but I get free healthcare, the public transit is actually good enough to take most places, and I won't have to worry about my future kids losing the weekly school shooting lottery.

Ok I'm just gonna come right out and ask it: is it possible that the GOP's decision to kill off a large portion of their voter base by promoting vaccine skepticism has contributed to a bunch of these competitive races going blue?

ASAPI posted:It seems that Texas also replaced their Covid dead GOP voters with people moving in. It also seems like they are being "pushed" into the country, all the GOP people I know moved out of the suburbs into the country. Liberals moving to Texas seem to be heavily concentrated in Dallas/Houston/Austin, so just further packing themselves into gerrymandered blue districts.

AOC is running in a solidly blue district that will reliably pull the lever for whoever has a D next to their name. You can't even begin to compare that to having to win all of Pennsylvania, let alone Texas.

It's like he had a YouTube channel reviewing guns and then turned it into a campaign advertisement.

Leave posted:Is there any chance this kind of poo poo starts them turning on him? Not likely. Republican voters love Trump, and this was borne out in the primaries. The fact that he's a perennial loser in the general elections isn't going to change that.

CRUSTY MINGE posted:I get where you're coming from, but... One is a batshit insane insurrectionist, and the other sounds like a normal person with unfortunate political views on fiscal policy. Ensuring Boebert no longer has legitimacy by being an elected member of Congress is pretty important in its own right.
