It was a good run.  It's been coming for awhile, but today will be the official end.

I'm glad I don't have kids, I feel sorry for those of you who do.

We are probably further along that path than we probably can perceive, but yes, the gasoline gets poured on it today.

I’ve long known that job 1 for most politicians is to stay in power but the concept is that you do a good job with priorities 2-100 and the public sends you back. But now we have candidates who are realizing that their side doesn’t care about winning the most votes just finding a way to win.

the only solace that I will take from a gop victory today is that it will lead to fewer votes cast for trump in ‘24. Those in power still may find a way for trump to win regardless but that is our country now.

the GOP’s only value now is winning. Morals, decency and democracy are all out the window.

a strong Dem showing, heavily favors trump in 24. if the R's take the house or senate, they're going to take things too far and hurt trump's 2024 chances.

in texas, i fully expect women having to submit pregnancy tests to leave the state or some type of tracking of menstrual cycles. it's going to be dark, dark days

Good God.  Get a fucking grip on yourselves.

Y’all can be very thankful that you failed at nuking the filibuster.  I look forward to the next few years of it becoming one of our most sacred legislative mechanisms.

Maybe we beat them by 8 million votes.

I think there's going to be shitshows around the US (I'm looking at you Arizona) but today is Blue Wave Day.  You heard it here first.

Lots of overreacting before the final votes are even cast let alone counted. The same people had more faith in UT vs Bama when UT was a dog by 20 points, but can’t muster any faith when a dog by 1 or 2 points today.

It’s pathetic. 
 

If you lose, democracy is dying. Give me a break.
 

Also, democracy dies when Hispanics continue slowly moving away from your party.

I guess you haven’t been paying attention to who’s running for key positions in states that will decide whether or not they certify the next presidential election? It’s not about just “my” side losing, it’s whether or not our votes mean anything in two years. But keep sticking your head in the sand

I have a feeling that Trump himself will hurt his chances. Trump fatigue is real and growing. I WANT him to be their nominee because 1)  he will tear the party apart in getting it 2) if he doesn't get it he will tear the party apart 3) he was unelectable in 2020 and fewer people want him now than then  4) a Democrat team of (dreaming) say Buttigieg and Katie Porter would offer a stunning alternative

If there were any hope of a straight election where everyone has equal access to polling places and every vote gets counted, I'd agree with all of this.

But the GOP is going to win the White House in 2024, probably by a good margin.  And if it looks like it will even be close, they're going to steal it.  They've been building the infrastructure to steal it for years. 

I'd love to be wrong, but I guess we'll see.

Senator McMullin, Demings, Franken, Beasley, Ryan, and/or Barnes: things are clearly moving in the right direction.

Senator Walker, Oz, Laxalt, and/or Masters: last one out turn out the lights.  It’s over.

I think it ends up 50-50 again.  Fetterman having that stroke was a fucking brutal blow.

Bro, that was literally the platform of the Republican party for the past two years. They lost, so democracy was stolen.

I’m here for the melt down.  I’m resigned to the fact that we’re headed for a real split once Biden gets impeached for the fifteenth time over Hunters schlong.  
 

President Greene will make CrossFit the National religion and make fitness great again.

 

 Elon Musk will assume control of Amazon, Walmart, and all the railroads and move all their headquarters to Austin.  
 

Costco will become the last place Libs are allowed to shop (Amazon becomes Magazon) but they have to wear their yellow L visibly.

 

 Anyway as you can tell the stimulation writers are losing interest.

I still struggle to grasp a world where Walker is a US Senator.  I long for the good old days where Republicans put forth strong candidates like Sonny Bono and Gopher from the Love Boat.

Dems snake bit it seems. Don’t forget cunningham in North Carolina. Guy would’ve crushed it had he kept his pants on and we would be favored to keep the senate today.

I have most likely senate outcome as 50-50 with dems losing Georgia in run off, but next closest scenario is 51-49 gop. That NC seat would’ve really come in handy today.

I think trumps 2020 loss wasn’t just trump fatigue, but the icy hand of death.  4 years of olds that voted for him in 2016 had died off, replaced by four years of yoots.  We get that again here for 2024.  
 

if you can get a decent candidate (I see zero, so this is a big if) he’ll get substantially out voted.  As texarcher says, I hope it matters.

Buttigieg has zero chance because not enough black people will vote for a gay white man.

The Dems have run on abortion and January 6th/democracy dying. It appears that it’s not going to be convincing enough versus economic concerns, inflation/gas prices, increased crime, and immigration. This may be an opportunity for introspection.

If you want to argue that democrats are terrible at messaging then yeah, they absolutely are. But if you don’t think that we are on the precipice of some truly dark days for our republic with election deniers on the cusp of taking over key positions, then you are just not paying attention. Or you don’t care because you’ve bought into the crime and immigration bogeyman

There is one party that has openly said “vote for us and if we win we will make sure we never lose again.”

It’s very difficult to over emphasize how having DJT a part of our national conversation at all is toxic to the country and democracy. In some ways he’s even worse when he doesn’t win but is still at the center of things.

because retards like you will jump on it for perceived advantage.  imma go ahead and guess which side you always vote for despite "both sides having their share of shitty candidates."  

one side has trump, oz, johnson, walker, tuberville, lake, all of whom are in something in the range of ignorant to power hungry opportunist to fascist.  one side has a guy that had a medical condition.  see!  both sides!
