So probably not in 2028, but is an Annie Andrews presidential run on the cards someday? I mean yes, she benefitted from a terrible opponent, but still, Dems spent pennies on that race and she was the biggest overperformer relative to her state's lean
I don't really subscribe to the senate supermajority talk because we all know it'll be impossible to keep every conservative dem on board for anything useful. Build the buffer as far as possible, get rid of the filibuster and put it back in place in 2032
Assuming nothing crazy, a Democrat is going to win the presidency in 2028. I think worst case scenario is holding at the same number of senators, so if AK and MS stay D this year, that's 56. In 2030, Dems will only need to win all the safe D states to retain at least 50 senators.
In a way, last night's results are the first time I've felt like election results could affect me personally, because this happened. And part of why it took this long to happen is the state leg gets to draw their own maps. Now we can fix them and lock in some of the gains
TRIFECTA DELIVERED.
Pennsylvanians just came together to flip the State Senate for the first time in over THREE DECADES — delivering a Democratic trifecta that’s ready to raise the minimum wage, codify reproductive freedom, invest in mass transit, and so much more.
I’m so proud to have supported Chris Thomas, Eileen Hartnett Albillar, Mark Pinsley, and Brian Wrightson from Day One in their campaigns.
Now, the real work begins — and we’re ready to get shit done.
This being called this early means we might be on for Blouth Carolina doesn't it?

So it turns out that if you fuck everything up,
Hold on, checking...
Mhm. Right ok yeah.
People don't like it????
From the little bit of the vote in so far I think I was just too afraid to jinx it and we're getting Blexas and Blansas
Why have more people not brought up the insane Dutch angle

I have an election day confession to make. I did a degeneracy.
I put a little bet on Paxton. My reasoning is that if Talarico wins, I'll be fine with losing the money, and if Paxton wins, at least making a little money will make me feel slightly better
Don't gamble kids
Call me a Dem bedwetter or w/e but I think they have fucked it on the finish line
The 2 Sullivans in AK, I'm not convinced that's enough to matter, but it might be. I give Mary like a 51% chance.
I'm hoping Vivek (who will lose) is bad enough to carry Brown over the line in OH.
Amash was always to my right, and I have probably moved economically to the left a little over the years, but even at my most libertarian, I always thought the progressives were the better faction of the Democratic Party for reasons he articulates here better than I could.
It goes without saying that I have major disagreements with both Mike Rogers and Abdul El-Sayed, and neither one particularly likes me.
Rogers and I regularly battled in the U.S. House. I’m a staunch defender of liberty and the Constitution, and he’s a champion of big weaponized government, mass surveillance, and endless wars. He tried (and failed) to oust me from Congress.
When I was considering a presidential run in 2020, El-Sayed wrote a gratuitous op-ed to warn people that “Justin Amash is no hero,” calling my principles “heartless” and finishing with the reminder: “Your enemy’s enemy is not your friend.”
In short, I have no soft spot for either of these guys.
I also don’t vote for “the lesser of two evils.”
I believe you should support a candidate only if you truly want the person to hold that office.
I’ve already voted, and consistent with the above principle, I didn’t vote for Rogers or El-Sayed.
But I do know which one would be more dangerous in the U.S. Senate—and it’s not even close.

So we have different priorities, and different ideologies. I never really agreed with his way of voting when he was in Congress, nor his way of voting in this election. But I have to respect him, along with anyone else holding strong at the bottom side of the compass
