Well this is accurate. In better news, my 17-year-old woke up really excited though that it didn't go as bad as I thought it might. He is all in on voting blue next year. He tracked the election results more than I did. Gen Z truly is invested and done with the bullshit. Yes. My 12 and 14 year olds are ready to roll. I told them this morning that the day isn't nearly as bleak because of people just a few years older than them, and when the time comes, to never EVER believe that their vote doesn't matter.

Nothing is no brainer with republicans. Look at Georgia. All those votes for a nut job with a scary amount of brain damage. When the football gods demand your vote, the South shall answer. :: points at Tom Osborne:: People still bend the knee to him for football and politics. Fucking wild.

Guys. I think we can breathe now, right? No red wave. Tons of progress, minimal damage. Decent set-up for 2024. We still have work to do, but I don't feel like throwing my hands in the air.
Any summaries on how TFGs denier infiltrators fared?

In CO, dems swept the governor, SOS, senator, AG, treasurer. 🎉 Our state legislature is also forecasted to have Dem majorities in both houses!

I'm here and so happy with the results out of Pennsylvania! Lots of great firsts on my ballot. Summer Lee as the first Black woman in Congress from PA, and Austin Davis is the state's first Black man to serve as Lt. Gov. But idk about calling for Fetterman as the next VP yet. Let's send him to Washington and see.

I’m feeling so much better this morning than expected. Ohio still sucks though, also as expected. I think I need to move to MI or PA, at least we have decent state neighbors. please to come to NoMi (south of Traverse City specifically) we need more of us. And we have golden retriever gatherings. Thank you for your consideration. Haha...omg...this is the best sales pitch ever. We have two goldens, sounds like a perfect fit!

In AZ, Kari Lake is still losing and Mark Kelly is still winning. Could be a Dem outcome for their other big races too. 🤞

WI is stressing me out. Called for Evers (yay!) but Senate still undecided. We’re waiting on Milwaukee co absentee ballots (they count at a different location and result later) which is historically very Democrat. I’m so fucking nervous but slightly hopeful. But how is the WI senate THIS close? Did like 60k people have a fucking stroke at the polls?? How do you vote Evers AND Johnson? Michels and Johnson are cut from the same election-denying, trump-loving, absolute abortion ban cloth. Right here with you.

Any summaries on how TFGs denier infiltrators fared? The Senate map is brutal in 2024 but I think we will take back the House on a promise to codify Roe.

I don't think Tim Ryan was a good candidate. I voted for him, but I wasn't really excited about him at all. same, I'm not even sure he was better than Vance based on his ads. He just had a D next to his name. Poor campaigning here. And I maybe saw one commercial ad for Whaley. Governor campaigns for both were nearly nonexistent here. This is a miss for sure then on messaging. Because Ryan is light years better than Vance. Not a miss on your part - on the campaign and party.

I'm really sorry to everyone feeling defeated today. I'll be honest, I was just hoping for a non-shellackimg so I'm feeling a Tom of relief right now. I need us to hold the Senate though. C'mon NV and AZ, give us the Senate and then we can work hard but not desperate in GA runoff

Not a miss on your part - on the campaign and party. One of Ryan's early tv ads tried to win Republicans by showing how he aligned with Trump in some ways and I think that was a huge miss for Ohio Dems and progressives who then saw Ryan as too conservative. I don't think he recovered from that.

I think the DSCC ceded OH/NC and I think the DNC/DCCC ceded Miami-Dade which really sucks

I am very very disappointed with Ohio. That is all I have today I don't think Tim Ryan was a good candidate. I voted for him, but I wasn't really excited about him at all. Same, I think he tried too hard to seem relatable I am so disappointed in OH today, although unfortunately not surprised

This is giving me giggles.
I'm going to be riding high for a looooong time on Michigan Democrats having the big 3 AND the state legislature for the first time in nearly 40 years. Gun control legislation finally has a chance!

CA voters - looks like Newsom tanked prop 30 (the tax for zero emission vehicles and wildfire protection). I ended up voting yes even though he was against it because I didn’t buy his argument. What do you guys think? I’m sure they will rewrite it and it will be back again - maybe a better version? And I can’t take another dialysis center prop. I will refrain if they ask me again. I was really surprised that he was against it. What was his reason? Well his “official” reason - as in the reason in his ads and texts was that it was a corporate money grab because it was backed by Lyft. So if the funds from the tax go to subsidies for buying EVs and Lyft has to buy a ton of EVs to comply with the gas car ban, they benefit greatly. (I have issues with that argument) But I also think he didn’t want to be seen supporting a tax raise and high earners (his donors) and I think he wants control of all this EV stuff because it’s his issue. Idk it’s an interesting move on his part. Going up against the dem party in CA. Gives him a lot of info about his power vs just being a dem.
