I love in a red part of a blue state. These fuckers are so stupid they voted to "sucede" from the rest of the state.

    Texas right there with you. Never thought I’d see it, but looks like it’s gonna happen.

    Please please please don’t fuck this up

    How that happens is we don't let them fuck it up. Once the primaries were over, I urged everyone to vote for Democrats not because I love them, but because we desperately needed a check on the Republican corruption and incompetence. And that time is now. We need to contact our newly-elected representatives and demand big, bold action that actually improves people's lives.

    Anyone whines about how both sides are the same I'm going to ask them when the last time they contacted their representatives in Congress, or at the state level. Personally, I'll call every day if I have to. Defeatists can say it won't make any difference, but when we constantly call them out and demand meaningful action, we force them to listen. Public pressure works, and we can prove it...

    Latest results I'm seeing from Texas are calling one senator and the governorship for Dems.

    Attorney General, Lt Governor, and Railroad Commissioner look like they will also follow suit.

    Attorney General

    That's a big deal, isn't it? I seem to remember Texas's Attorney General being a huge piece of shit who was causing major problems.

    Funny enough the Attorney General was Ken Paxton who is a huge piece of shit that decided to run for Senate and lost spectacularly. His replacement Mayes Middleton doesn’t look like he’s going to win.

    Guys, I'm not used to winning.

    Are we supposed to hang big blue Talarico flags from our trucks to own the pubs?

    I'm looking forward to the awkward conversations at thanksgiving.

    I didn't have a lot of hope. I live in Cherokee County, and the MAGAts are incredibly loud here. I have more hope right now than I have in about 10 years.

    I'll truly feel that way when the dems haven't squandered all this good vibe and fucked everything up again come 2028. Remember: that's the party of Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer.

    It better fucking not be, come January!

    Fixing that needs to be next on our list between now and the end of the year. It's time for everybody to call up these Ossoffs and Talericos and impress upon them that Schumer has got to go.

    It's gonna be a very rough climb to 2028 from here. focks nooz and the other propaganda outlets are going to railroad the Dems and blame everything on them in endless news cycles. And unfortunately 2/3 of the nation have a memory which lasts 2 weeks.

    This is incredible.

    Massive work ahead still. Massive damage to reverse that will take years, decades maybe... But for tonight, I'm happy.

    full grid lock in Georgia for the next 4 years since the GA House is solidly red and full of MAGA loonies.

    First of all, we don't know that yet.

    Second, even if you're right, I don't care. Gridlock is still better than the full Republican control we had before.

    Third, look at all these downballot statewide races! We even flipped the PSC!
