CONFIRMED: Georgia Democrats have won their first statewide elections for non-federal offices since *2006.*

The two Dem challengers, Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard, have ousted two GOP Republican commissioners on the state's utility commission.

i'm not an alarmist but it's getting very hard to figure out what establishment dems are trying to accomplish except moving Trump's agenda forward. that's the agenda that they said was beyond the pale six weeks ago.

this is why no one trusts them.

Fun travel tip: forced perspective and a few plastic dinosaurs can make all your travel photos more interesting.

Boy imagine if the opposition party was helping to feed the narrative instead of acting like the Vichy French.

Also been recently burned by well hyped Duke #1 pick. Y’all enjoy

The Pelicans would like a word

The Murray trade is a fireable offense. Griff should be gone

quick Saturday diversion: I need these people to understand that two of the greatest onramps towards believing in community and respect for other people are sports and playing any sort of games with each other

So many people who fanatically support Israel at all costs have proven themselves to be more than willing to throw critical Jews under the bus. And these include rightwing Jews happy to ally with antisemitic Christian Zionists against Palestinians/Arabs/Muslims and Jews in solidarity with Palestine

"I defer at this moment to whatever course they decide to take. And I hope they take a course that is bipartisan," Jeffries said today about the Ethics Committee.

Republicans are working VERY hard to bury a report on the Ethics Committee investigation into Matt Gaetz and THIS is the Democratic leader's take??

When he should be screaming WHAT ARE THEY TRYING TO HIDE FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE he's literally just saying Hey please be bipartisan you guys

we're giving control of the largest medical bureaucracy in global history to a guy who thinks chemtrails are real and vaccines kill you

Walking around my house, looking at my phone muttering “don’t love that” over and over

There's a reason democracies don't let people who tried coups back into power.

They didn’t change methodology for the newest Harris winning poll to be consistent with their earlier results . Just noted that they were undercounting 3 big Dem voting blocs

Seems like more evidence than polls are undercounting Ds like crazy

Iowa Poll: Kamala Harris leapfrogs Donald Trump to take lead near Election Day. Here's how The new Iowa Poll shows Kamala Harris leading Donald Trump by 3 points. Pollster J. Ann Selzer: “It’s hard for anybody to say they saw this coming.”

THE VIBES ARE IMMACULATE www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/p...

She’s just constantly nailed this and it’s such a gutsy thing to publish as everyone else herds

For months people said “Trump saying Hannibal lecter because he thinks asylym seekers means insane asylums”. And today he says it. Maybe the most coherent thing he’s said in months (it’s still insane)

…people warned that yes Biden clearly won but it was with a markedly loose and not fundamentally loyal coalition , and that Trump’s performance and almost-winning was a horrific omen and the Dems need to address the root causes of that, and lo and behold look at where we are

It's hard to overstate how traumatic the 2016 and 2020 elections were for many pollsters. For some, another underestimate of Mr. Trump could be a major threat to their business and their livelihood. For the rest, their status and reputations are on the line. If they underestimate Mr. Trump a third straight time, how can their polls be trusted again? It is much safer, whether in terms of literal self-interest or purely psychologically, to find a close race than to gamble on a clear Harris victory. At the same time, the 2016 and 2020 polling misfires shattered many pollsters' confidence in their own methods and data. When their results come in very blue, they don't believe it. And frankly, I share that same feeling: If our final Pennsylvania poll comes in at Harris +7, why would I believe it? As a result, pollsters are more willing to take steps to produce more Republican-leaning results.

Just a ridiculous thing to write and explains why all the polls are herding

go vote. of course. everyone should vote.

but I’m honestly pretty confident at this point and my feeling is that we should be pretty focused on post-election day ratfucking and violence more than Tuesday itself.

Nate confirming the polling is totally fucked because they can’t trust positive Dem poll results for reasons

He’s definitely seen the Julia Roberts ad

I've voted already for Kamala, I encourage you all to do so as well, I hope she wins and it's massive and blah blah blah, but this simply cannot continue. It cannot be the case that democracy is on the ballot every election while the insulated SCOTUS takes it apart piece by piece

VC/PE vampires have no heart so can’t understand that people do things for fun/community/health. They think everyone only wants to do shit to make money. Why watch sports without gambling? Why play youth sports without trying to make it to the NBA? Why collect things without being able to flip them?

Jonathan Greenblatt and the ADL still haven’t said a word about Trump’s praise for Hitler, or the fact that he held a white nationalist rally on the anniversary of the Tree of Life Synagogue massacre.

The GOP wants white men w/o HS diplomas to think they’re worse off today because of women, not because of billionaires exploiting our labor/tax/legal systems.

This hit me a few years ago. I can do a few light beers but any more than 3 and I feel like total shit the next day
