Of all the benefits of elections, one of the greatest might be that they provide a path for ambitious politicians to advance without violence or palace intrigue. Anyone who is anyone in the GOP is going to want their turn, which means not suffering an attempt at a third trump run

I would caution against reading too much into GA in particular b/c ATL has municipal elections while the state does not. There is also a lot of bipartisan outrage against Ga Power (which the statewide election is about) due to spiking power costs

Article in the AJC yesterday showed Georgia premiums up on the order of 400% for a couple in their 60s making 85k. From 600/m to over 2500/m for a silver plan. Insane

That is definitely a possibility, but not inevitable. Things were resl bleak at first, but friction is growing
If history gives us one solace, its that any predictions about an inevitable future are almost always wrong. We don’t know what is going to happen, which is a blessing and a curse

The federal gov is still broadly made up of ordinary people trying to do their job. The trump toadies are a conquering force trying to force an unnatural, unwanted mode of conduct. They can’t control everything, even if they pretend to

It’s hard to steer a ship as big as the federal gov, especially when you’re going against the current

Knowing how to use R, GIS, extremely basic stats, and just generally not being afraid of numbers put me ahead of like 90% of my undergrad poli sci cohort. Ive had classes where people struggle to work with basic aspects of *excel*
