Magenta@magentab.bsky.social · 12h agomississippi would just straight up be a perennial blue state if there was a single city worth moving to not even like an atlanta type metroplex, just like any city that would even bring any decent amount of educated professionals
Counterpoint: we won South Carolina and Mississippi.

we can never forget that they shot a mom and a nurse in the middle of the street and told us they deserved it
Oh okay. So Trump wins a plurality and it's a complete sea-change in American life that requires every media outlet, educational institution, and corporation to alter their entire identities. But Dems sweep an election with the largest margin since Watergate and there's no mandate to do anything.

haven’t even digested the magnitude of our victories this week. races are yet to be called. mississippi tilts in our favor, alaska is really ours already. TRUMP: chief of staff stephen miller 400 EV in 2028.
Did you even realize you just experienced a once in lifetime political event?
RIDSA has tried to spin this as a good outcome, but it's worth noting that Brittany Kubicek's campaign was the culmination of literally three years of organizing, including a year and a half of pre-canvassing (to find a district to run in) and then actual canvassing for her campaign

Shepherd@neolithicsheep.bsky.social · 3d agoAre you shitting me. Folks across the south organize and work and rally and y'all are gonna reply with Union battle songs. Last night's victories belong entirely to the southerners who worked for them with no help from the rest of the country.
Instant nominee for worst post on this website of all time

Union battle-songs are for the whole country, habibi: Yes and there were Union men who wept with joyful tears, When they saw the honored flag they had not seen for years; Hardly could they be restrained from breaking forth in cheers, While we were marching through Georgia!

We did **WHAT** with young white voters across the South???
Alex Ip 葉清霖@alexip718.com · yesterdaySome more bonkers stats here: white voters in the South aged 18-29 are now essentially voting like northern Democrats. ('24-->'26 swing in parentheses): · Alabama: 45% (D+38) · West Virginia: 47% (D+41) · Kentucky: 47% (D+39) · Florida: 52% (D+28) · Georgia: 52% (D+32) · South Carolina: 52% (D+38)

this is the kind of bonkers downballot carnage I am craving

you're not seriously asking why it's bad for an election result to be unnecessarily unclear for weeks on end, right? I mean, you clearly think I'm stupid by the way you're talking to me, so I'll show my hand and say I think the same of you.
Douglas Bianchi@dbianchi.bsky.social · yesterdayAside from relieving you of the vapors and the clutching of pearls, what would a faster count achieve, exactly?
the sharper republicans are losing their minds because they understand that democrats just annihilated at least two generations of bench for the GOP in absolutely critical, must-win states. all their *potential* prospects are groyper nihilist nightmares. this is what ten years of trump bought them.
Anonymous Bureaucrat@bureaucratanon.bsky.social · 2d agoRepublicans on track to lose about 600 state legislature seats and that is, as Ronald Meatball DeSantis said earlier, a potentially extinction level event for state parties across the country. There is no bench, or a very emaciated one at best, now in states like AZ, NV, GA, NC, TX
remember when multiple people were dooming on main that the GENERIC BALLOT would be D+8 tops and saying that wasn't really dooming and then we flipped South Carolina and annihilated the entire Texas republican bench.
ashley (BLUENAMI) 🌹@clearlyashley.bsky.social · 2d agomen in NC senate race: D+8 women in NC senate race: D+29 men in TX senate race: EVEN women in TX senate race: D+21
If Colom pulls this off, he would be the first black person elected to any state-wide office in Mississippi in 152 years. Blanche Bruce, last person to do so, was born into slavery. That’s what’s on the line here.
Like Obama picked off Indiana and almost picked off Missouri, and that ain't shit compared to this.

The GOP won’t hold a seat bluer than R+9
The Downballot@the-downballot.com · 2d agoFor the first time in the modern era of redistricting, a political party will have *zero* crossover seats in the House. The GOP won three districts Harris carried in 2024, but now it'll have none. @kkondik.bsky.social wrote about this possibility a month ago. centerforpolitics.org/crystalball/...
you guys can take heart in the fact that the people doing opposition research for the republican party are apparently the most incompetent morons alive holy shit
Thomas HD@degolierthomas.bsky.social · yesterdayokay yeah in her ad, she was lying
but it's also Republican 2014 in a way: an utter decimation of their bench at all levels of government, at a time when their bench was already severely hobbled by the last midterm wave, which they hadn't been able to really recover from due to no intervening wave in their favor.
Kevin@reginageorgebush.bsky.social · 3d agothis is without a doubt Republican 2010.
such a world-historic failure at governing that you get WHITE MISSISSIPPIANS to racially depolarize inside of two years. insane.
these California results tell me Adam Smith would've went down if the left had gotten someone normal through the primary instead of being cursed by Melissa Chaudhry and Kshama Sawant tbh
Kevin@reginageorgebush.bsky.social · 2d agoalready have a few in D seats, Angela Gonzales-Torres has unseated Jimmy Gomez and Eric Jones seems poised to defeat Mike Thompson
if it's any indication of how much pent-up energy there was to see somebody beat the brakes off MAGA, my mom, a retired financial professional and lifelong registered independent who first voted D for president in 2020, is texting me to crow about seats flipping and gerrymanders breaking
