2022 Election Day Thread - Midterm Rumble

[ERhine 1894]

Probably no one, but he can't just keep losing elections if he wants to make this state or country better.  He's got to get into an office where he can do something and build his resume back up. 

He makes the state better by helping down ballot candidates get additional votes which can make the difference between winning and losing. We will see what he does in the future.

I don’t give a fuck about his resume. If he wants to go work in DC tomorrow, Biden will appoint him to something.

Pelosi has never lost a vote on the house floor. Paul Ryan lost a vote seemingly every week. I expect similar incompetence from McCarthy.

She lost the first crack at TARP which wasn’t her baby obviously but she brought it to a vote.

The Dems need to figure out how to win the Hispanic vote back.  The GOP has made big gains in the latino vote in the last decade or so.  The state can be purple, but it would require a great deal of competence.  I'm not sure the Dems have it in them. 

Apparently taking pictures like this would help.

Pretty interesting how badly DeSantis whipped Crist.  Not a great matchup for Dems but I think this puts little Ron in the drivers seat for 24.  And that means in someone’s crosshairs.  Let the Thunderdome begin!

[gmr548 16580]

You could have some pretty amazing stuff happen in a 3 seat majority house.  Some tiny caucus holding out for outrageous stuff and actually getting it. 

It’s too bad the stakes of R vs D are very literally existential these days. It would otherwise be fascinating to watch.

That fucking Cuomo NY court. How they hell can they not anticipate what was going to happen in Florida? Detrumpis is on the warpath. We needed those NY seats to offset Florida. We also need the Supreme Court to not be retarded and award the minority districts to Louisiana and Alabama dems as the law is written.

In all fairness, the District  (with two Trump appointees) court put an enormous amount of work into the AL and LA VRA decision, but Kav gonna Kav. 
 

But yeah, if NY had been a bit more thoughtful and less greedy, they could have easily taken 3 seats

Far be it from someone from a shithole blood red state to cast aspersions but what exactly can Beto do in a state like Texas at this point?

He stood tall and was literally the ONLY leader to listen to and fight for the parents in Uvalde and those voters STILL resoundingly cast their votes for an empty wheelchair who lied and said the massacre of babies “could have been worse”.

Outside of him having actual magic powers, I don’t know what he could have done.

The Texas Democratic Party is a mess and only slightly less impotent than Greg Abbott’s penis. He built out an entire campaign infrastructure by himself and raised more money than any gubernatorial candidate in history.

The dream of Texas turning blue due to demographics is a pipe dream. Red hats from California and Colorado are replacing Texas Democrats moving out.

Y’all got any football coaches or players who can be Democratic puppets?

It’s the extremism that is the problem. Voting for extremism in the other direction doesn’t fix anything.  Voting for people that hate you isn’t a great strategy either.  There’s not nearly enough people here that want Cuban style socialism for it to happen, and the people still get to choose. But choosing fascism is asking for your choice to be taken from you.

Gonzalez was a massive favorite in that district (which includes my hometown). He got gerrymandered into the 34th and smoked her like he was expected to.

I’m glad he ran so at least it was someone running for governor who had appeal and could hopefully give some benefit to down ballot candidates in certain areas.

It makes me happy any time a Dem makes Republicans spend money on a seat they usually easily hold.
