At least, that is my hope.
And then I pray that the pendulum will swing hard and fast back to reason.

Yep. I was hoping he'd win for exactly these reasons.

Lmao.

Oh no, NYC might enjoy the democratic socialist principles that make countries like Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, and Germany some of the happiest and most successful in the world! Market economies with strong social welfare programs and democratic governments!

Oh no!

What will our corporate masters think!?

I don't get his point. Is he saying more states will redistrict to strengthen their numbers now?

No. When you gerrymander, you try to distribute the R voters so that more of the districts are R + X. Since there are only so many R voters to go around, you often have to create districts that are R+6 or so while also lowering your margins in districts that may have been R + 20.. That's fine and safe in a normal year, but when you get a wave election where Ds are overperforming by 7 or 8 points, you suddenly just created a bunch of D districts while eliminating your safe districts. This is also known as a dummymander.

Voters in Maine rejected a proposal backed by conservatives that would have created a raft of new restrictions to voting in the state, according to The Associated Press on Tuesday.

The proposal would have eliminated two days of early absentee voting, required photo identification in order to vote, banned prepaid return envelopes for absentee ballots and limited drop boxes across the state. The outcome is likely to be seen as a setback for Republicans in their quest to rein in the nation’s voting laws in states where they do not have complete control of state government.

They started it last week. Karoline said there’s massive fraud in CA because “it’s obvious.” 🙄

If we had a sane president it would be 100% but we have trump who doesn't want a vote on the Epstein files. What is Mikey, the little leprechaun, going to do?
