You're going off historical trends with midterms though and we've never seen an assault on democracy like this.  People are just too stupid.  That is the only answer.  We are just too fucking dumb to survive.

There are those that seek to keep us as such, and they’re pouring hundreds of millions into our elections.

Power and wealth for a VERY select few is likely to doom us all. But the shareholder value, for a time, was tremendous…

Warnock is closing.  Atlanta bomb.  Oliver's share rising.

Gwinnett County is also only at 27%.

Hopefully Warnock gets to a very expensive runoff, but holy fuck... Hershel Walker... people really voted for him.  Could a sack of potatoes with an (R) do about just as well?  Apparently, the candidate hardly matters at all. 

I would bet my life saving that if you ran a sack of potatoes for the Senate in a state like Texas and put a R next to it on the ballot it would win easily.  My kid asked me earlier what would the votes be for all of these races if there were no D or R next to their name but people listened to each person running and voted for the one with the best ideas.  I am curious how that experiment would turn out.  I mean, in OH would Tim Ryan beat Vance if neither were affiliated with a party?

Politics aside I’m at home when I get to 20-30 miles from the coast and running around from PINS up to rockport makes me happy. Still shitholes up and down the highway. Our entire state is full of potholes and armpits even though there are some really great places.

 

I have no idea why state level elections keep turning out the way they do.

Shouldn’t they vote yes because of the simple concept of “ I don’t care what people do as long as it doesn’t effect me”?

Because marijuana is a crime.  You can't vote in favor of crime!

Walker 49.2
Warnock 48.8

Gwinnett has almost half left, DeKalb and Cobb still have 20% left. It’s a lot

They keep electing sacks of shit so a sack of potatoes should be no problem.

Thank you for this insight. I was thinking about crawling out the ledge with my bottle o' booze.

I always got the sense that Texas at least has better local control in the cities. We’re beholden to the state leg for everything. If we passed a local tax to fund better schools the state will reallocate our state appropriation to make sure we can’t pay better or do anything different. Small state stuff I think.

Nope, COVID proved that the legislature and governor believe they have full control over the cities, as well as our governor threatened to try and take over Austin's police department.

And here in Austin we sent over $700 million taxpayer dollars out to outlying districts last year, which allows them to fund all kinds of stupid shit they don't need (they get the money from us, they can do bond issues, etc., for stupid shit).

And most of those counties receiving a chunk of that $700 million+ fucking loathe Austin.  But they'll happily take our money to prop up their school districts/buy stupid shit.

Your beloved Needle has Dems 55/45 to keep the Senate and a single digit deficit in the House. 1 in 4 chance to hold the House 

I hate to say but it looks like there's enough of the vote outstanding in Colorado for Boebert to make up quite a bit of ground.

I understand the sentiment. I would vote for a beat-up old shoe over anybody who downplayed the Jan 6 attack, which means I'll vote for a lot of shoes.

When we leave the state, particularly when we hit the Oklahoma turnpikes, it's like night-and-day.

Over the last 25 years that I've driven up to/through Dallas multiple times every year, I can only think of once or twice where I-35 was "finished" to the point where we didn't deal with construction.  How the fuck does Oklahoma build better roads than we do?   And it's not an I-35/heavy traffic thing - there's plenty of stretches of I-35 outside of Texas that are fine.

To be fair we add more than Oklahoma's population to the I35 cities in Texas every 10 years.

Even if she pulls it out, it should still scare the everliving shit out of Republicans, because if they pull off even a slight House majority, you know that she and her ilk will go even harder on trying to fuck everything up for everybody, thereby hurting Republicans in 2024.  And they'll be angry that the Rs lost too many races that they thought they'd win.

Makes me wonder how Trump will be viewed, because holy fuck did he suffer a lot of losses tonight.  He took potshots at DeSantis who performed well tonight, meanwhile plenty ofTrump's candidates that he loved got their asses kicked.

Another flip? Beasley had some coattails

This was Madison Cawthorne with working legs 

Beto just needs to change states or go back to the House or Representatives.  He'd easily win his way back to DC, just not in the type of role he wants.
