"what we saw on Tuesday was blue states vote blue." lol 🙊

Ohhh, so that's how the bubble popping will screw us all

Sorry guys, I clicked on the click bait and man am I dumber for it. Ruined what? The take has scrambled my brain and ruined my morning. JK the arguments are so flawed it's kind of funny.

I think this is what was most deeply felt on Tuesday night. Democrats are showing they are the party of the people because they're running candidates that best represent the constitutes they are running to serve.

They're not trying to force everyone to fit into a big orange mold.

The president is a public servant. Ipso facto Trump is your servant.

Good for him. Democrats showing how to win and lose gracefully tonight. No carnage.

Jokes on you, no one can make me feel worse about the Knicks than the Knicks.

I don't say this often, but I'm proud of NJ today.

If you're moving out of NYC, don't forget to drop the address so it's easier to fill your space, bc baby you didn't make it there, but someone will.

Now /that/ is a mandate.

So are they just going to change the blue to red and tell him he won everywhere? How are they going to keep the ketchup off the walls?

Trying not to get my hopes up, but they say they come in threes.

Every time they post, it's on the taxpayer's dime.

Forget about the substance for a minute. They are paying people with tax dollars to shit post on the internet.

They are PAYING people TAX DOLLARS for this 👇

To my fellow Italian-Americans ... there is no friend of ours that would impose such a tariff. Remember that. BASTA!

Why are Republicans threatening to "shut the whole airspace down"?

Logically, this would mean Democrats are the ones trying to keep the airspace open, no? Since everything has become tribal ...

A follow up after he says "I'm not aware of that" — you seem to be unaware of anything reporters bring up, why is that? — could be equally as effective.

At the end of the day, the press corps needs to start acting like a team. Forget your question, follow up on the one Johnson just side stepped!

Should be front page news. And it's not just Johnson. Why don't the most powerful people in our country, with all the resources and staffers they could ask for, are so uniformed about daily events in America? Why?

Media literacy & a healthy skepticism are more important than ever before. It pains me to say you need to be equally skeptical of all news sources today.

A kernel of that was always true. But I don't believe there's ever been this much dis/misinformation mixed into the average person's media diet.

Why, exactly, are people against this?

They have a countdown on my local news for when SNAP runs out. Like we're waiting for the ball to drop.

The rot in this society runs so deep.

Pretty clear who is trying to feed the needy and who wants them to starve.

Something something left-wing political violence, something something make America safe

You have to read this one.

The old gate-keeping model of media has a ton of flaws but at least you knew who was putting the paper together and everyone was READING THE SAME PAPER!

Idk, maybe I'm just nostalgic for a time when I thought we had a shared reality.

I know this is not the thing to be focusing on in this thread but is the "glass wire" ... fiber-optics?!

Good skeet. Send.

1000%

I actually didn't read it as that. I read it as democratic norms have been torn down in this country to such an extent that even Dems are now participating in acts they once would have said were an erosion of democracy.

That said, not calling out who destroyed the norms (Rs) is still chicken shit.

Didn't realize the Warriors picked up Al Horford this off-season. Welp, they're finals bound.
