my bad I was a yes on 3. Yay

 

no voting rights bill and I have already just expected it at this point

 

some not sucky results in cleveland tonight

 

i hate that none of the election guys on twitter are even following the race they are usually pretty good at the whole "counting how many votes are actually left" thing.

 

fucking Buffalo is choosing to write-in the incumbent mayor instead of voting for India Walton

 

lol she’s so transparent

 

Democrats are gonna be the death of this country. Fucking Weimar Republic 2.0

 

Only live tracker I could find for NJ is this one from NPR



Essex County still hasn’t reported yet apparently but Ciatarelli’s margin keeps going up

 

I can't believe how much better Republicans are at messaging to their base. Sure it's all lies and fear-mongering, but it gets the voters out. The midterms are going to be BRUTAL.

 

The funny part is that every republican thinks the opposite.

 

America was always fascist, it just needed the right ingredients and conditions to come alive

 

Turns out the combo of stoking racial fears and matching that with fears about their kids’ well-being works very well.

 

The best part is when the country truly collapses and China and Russia get to tag team over the chaos, all because CRT, Q, and Trump. What a fun final chapter for the United States.

 

The left should give up electoralism in politics and move towards electoralism in unions. Become a shop steward for your Teamster or AFSCME local and make it militant enough that you can just bully the politicians into compliance

 

1000 percent. Anyone in Chicago interested in getting in touch with a Teamster local, let me know.

 

Amazing that the only political party we have to kind of shrug and sorta stand in the way of fascism is a party of losers.

The republicans have a better idea of what the left should be than the dems do!

 

They say that the GOP is good at fearmongering their voters but I am stressed and worried all the time. Am I… a Republican?

 

Damn.

 

Woooow.

look. I get annoyed when people “look down” on people without college degrees and make assumptions about them. But a bunch of Gen X and maybe young boomer white women without college degrees are exactly who we’ve been seeing acting like insane shitheads at school board meetings and leading a lot of these QAnon marches and etc. We have enough studies by now to know that people with college degrees tend to be more intelligent and less gullible than those without. It is absolutely terrifying that you can scare them that easy with just the dumbest shit they see on their facebooks and TVs about CRT. It’s awful that our country is decided by that shit.

 

The crazy thing is that the left could easily sway the working class with it’s pro-labor and workers rights stance, they just have to compete with the right wing propaganda machine that’s well oiled and ran at this point.

 

Ciatarelli is currently leading in 6 of the 14 counties that Biden won in NJ last year. So, yeah.
