If you ever think your vote doesn’t count…

Let's wait and see what the final gap is when results are 100% in. But really? Meager state rep? You've got to be kidding me, this guy's been getting top of the line media coverage gushing over him for months now.

That's kinda what I'm saying, she's such an inexperienced campaigner yet Talarico the supposed wunderkind couldn't do better than a mid-single digit win against her

lots of luck in their senior year

There is a legitimate possibility that Trump could fuck up so badly that even Cornyn goes down in the general, I would never suggest otherwise. But if I were a betting man I'd likely take the under on that.

Honestly I don't think so. Wesley Hunt's supporters will likely break for Cornyn pretty hard.

I think that's a bit of an over-exaggeration, we're seeing phenomenal campaigns being run every day. Roy Cooper, for instance.

So 70% of the Texas vote is in and Talarico is up 5 points. He's almost certainly the winner, and I will root hard for him to win the general, but this is a *lot* closer than it should've been for him given the slapdash nature of Crockett's latecomer campaign, and I say that as a Crockett supporter.

Doomscrolling is the weaponization of literacy

oh man you can tell he has been *saving* his thoughts about that poor dog

i really feel like anyone who supports platner and is old enough to answer the question should ask themselves what they thought of gabbard in, say, 2014

NOT JUST THIS:

Two other Democratic lawmakers in North Carolina who sided with the GOP to overturn vetoes of major bills (e.g. anti-trans legislation) are also losing in their primaries so far to progressive challengers.

This could be a major night in NC.

uh...

*squints*

sure, ken. sure.

What’s happening in Texas is a reminder that it is never a good idea to wait to vote till election day

Breaking: Arkansas Democrats just flipped a Republican seat It's the ninth red-to-blue pickup in a special election in Trump's second term

JUST IN: Democrat Alex Holladay has flipped a GOP-held seat in *Arkansas*.

Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders tried hard to delay this race and wanted the seat to stay vacant for 8+ months, but the courts told her to hold it today. If she was worried, she was right to be.

Our full recap:

I'm referring to quality of people, not quality of outcomes, but fair enough. My opinion has always been that exactly one person working on the Obama campaigns helped him win: himself.

I remember back in 2016 when a popular line was "Clinton is the heir to the Obama presidency, but Sanders is the heir to the Obama *candidacy* 😍" and boy howdy we did not know at the time just how correct that line would end up being.

Barack Obama better hope Bernie Sanders lives to blow out 100 candles because the second he dies the crown for "worst campaign staffing decisions any living Democrat has ever made" falls to him.

you know I want more for the young men of America then on-line gambling addiction and Ponzi schemes, I believe in a party that'll help them go to college, get degree or certification, help buying their first home and health care coverage, not just idk unlimited on-line betting on when wars start?

You're right, voting for the opponents of fascism makes me a fascist. Whereas cheering when the fascists win because their opponents told you to take the election seriously is praxis. I keep forgetting.

thanks for reminding me of all the good posts I make

thank you I try my best

hey that's me!

Interesting considering uh...

That's also an accurate way to describe Democrats and Republicans in general tbh

If Cornyn beats Paxton in the runoff he wins the general I think

My favorite part is putting "the army" in quotes. They're lying to you, it's not really the army, run!

Funniest possible Texas result tonight: Cornyn/Paxton/Hunt 3 way tie

huckabee has always been like this, for decades, he’s a fucking creep
