No chance in hell that would happen lol. Centrist dems hate leftists more than conservatives.
I know that's Trump's MO, but it just feels really, really dumb this time. Dumber than usual.
Good news. She lost
Best news. By a lot.
Also, this is endearing
.
Doesn't matter what the data says. Expect lazy "worthless Dems never turnout for midterms, meanwhile strong big daddy Republicans are going to be motivated by their god king Trump. We're fucked" takes all the way until Election Day.
Not even close, lol. 45% turnout is probably the highest we can hope for. I believe 2016 was around 56% turnout.
I guess 45% turnout is close to turnout in 1996.
I'm really not sure how any politician can try to play both sides civility bullshit right now
I feel bad that I was already warned for calling someone a stupid fucking moron a couple hours ago.
So the judges ruling mandates:
1. Children under 5 need to be reunited within 14 days
2. Children over 5 within 30 days, and must speak with their parents on the phone within 10 days if they have not already.
Per Don Lemon.

I mean Republicans are definitely going to turn out. No doubt about that. Old white people turn the hell out, and the GOP is strong with old white people in most states*
* not all... dems win a ton of old white voters in the midwest and places like new hampshire, maine, etc... a lot more old white people vote dem than this website thinks
I need to see Ronna lose her job because she couldn't hold onto the House. Ronna and Ronny losing everything.. insert rhyme here.
I look forward to a SCOTUS case next term that'll declare that separated families in the country illegally have no right to due process. Sigh.
Turnout for special elections and primaries usually overwhelming favor the GOPs demo, more so than even midterms. You've seen what's already been happening.
His tweet from the other day is already basically saying this. Now it's just time to escalate it
Based on what exactly. And why am I not surprised you are arguing for it?
hey as long as we have it clear doing the right thing means losing your livelihood, clearly others will jump on board.
Ya'll ever hear a hot take so bad you just gotta go to sleep? We aren't republicans, this is some bullshit victimhood garbage, like thinking your parents hate you because they won't let you go to a rave at 13.
Give it 6 months. SCOTUS will rule the children must stay separated as long as godking demands. He has great powers, you know.
I look forward to seeing Joe Crowley when he comes to Packard Music Hall as a Bruce Springsteen tribute act next year.
what he had up ther ewasn't that bad honestly. I've heard worse Springsteen covers that sold more than the 3 million he blew jobbing to a demsoc LOL
You stole that, lol.
Then again, it's kinda assumed. But actually, I am going to bed.
Final turnout in OK should be ~875,000-880,000 votes, compared to 825,000 in the 2014 general election.
I want to know what the party breakdown is. This year and 2014s.
I quickly glanced at the GOP ticket, and I was like, lol nope. I'm going to love the 180 as well, especially as Colorado voted for Clinton in 2016.
Though if Clinton won the presidency, I would have chosen someone more centrist. But 2018 is now a blue wave year, so progressive it is!
Let me do some quick math and give you this year's:
~830,000 votes for governor (I assume some people only voted on the pot question, skipped the governor's race)
~388,000 Dem votes, 441,000 Rep. votes, 3500 Lib. votes
46.7% Democratic
53.1% Republican
0.2% Libertarian
Give or take a few tenths for when the final results have been tallied.
Given that Pelosi is NOT happy tonight about Crowley losing, this fantasy will probably stay unrealized:

Y'all text on the regular?
I mean, of course she's probably not overjoyed about a Democratic veteran and member of leadership losing, but that doesn't mean she won't be welcoming to or cooperative with AOC. Come on.
This doesn't seem good to me. Seems repub turnout is also very high?
I don't think you can read any disappointment from that. That's about the most textbook statement you can issue for a ten term colleague.
It's Oklahoma.
Considering that primaries tend to be older and whiter, this bodes well for OK Democrats in the fall.
The winds sweeping down the plain need to be bluer. Hopefully that's the case.
I guess I have to accept that Americans are never going to learn the difference between social democracy and democratic socialism, or realize that all of these "Socialist" candidates, as well as the majority of the Democratic Party, belong to the former category.
Thanks, Bernard.
Thanks, Bernard.
Cuomo from now to September:
This is a good thing though. Half the point of attempting to primary someone is to make them come closer to you.
Seems like a good night, all told. Doesn't quite make up for the GARBAGE FIRE news from this morning, but nice.
I am definitely dreading The Takes on Crowley losing. I'd never even heard of the man before today, but now he was the Chosen Heir Apparent to Once and Future Queen Nancy Pelosi, and clearly his defeat had nothing to do with the fact that he was wildly out of touch and failed to even show up to the debates or, hell, the actual good fit between Ocasio-Cortez and her district or the campaign she ran, and entirely about the massive dissatisfaction with current Democratic leadership and the obvious massive identity crisis tearing apart the Party of Disarray.
Pls, kill me.
But yeah, good to see DSA making some gains. I'm a smidge to the right of them, for the most part, but it's good to have a strong left wing in the party. So long as it doesn't go full tea party, natch.
Of course, it kind of can't. Big part of why the Tea Party took over the Republicans the way it did was because it wasn't really a grassroots movement after the very early period, just a front for their donor base. DSA wouldn't have the same kind of levers to dictate terms to the Dems.

In an odd twist, the only article I could find that had Alexandria's name in the actual headline was on... FOX News.
