“Progslop” is the assertion southern white people would vote for socialists if they heard their message about universal healthcare.

“Modslop” is the assertion Dems could win southern white people if they spent their whole campaigns reacting to Republican talking points.

Iowa has had massive shifts in special elections (though I know, low turnout).

I could see a scenario where Southern Whites don't budge much (though they did seem to in this special election) and Midwest, Western and Northeastern Whites move more substantially.

If the economy takes a shit, especially if the AI bubble pops, then Susan Collins is just fucked and nothing will save her.

Unfortunately, if this is the Nationwide Prop 187 Moment, that meant the GOP was still able to obstruct things for another ~15 Years.

Imagine if the AI Bubble pops while insurance premiums triple.

Even after Prop 187, Republicans still made California practically ungovernable for 16 years afterwards, as a minority constantly obstructing shit.

California Democrats didn't become overwhelmingly dominant until the 2010s.

As a Midwesterner - I really, truly wish that people would stop fetishizing the Rural Midwest and especially the Rural South.

I think the only nonpartisan poll we've gotten shows Platner overperforming Mills against Collins. This was after the Totenkopf was exposed. Source below.

I am very scared of him turning into FetterMaine, but a 79 Year Old who wants to keep the Filibuster is designed to turn off Primary Voters.

I think "Biden OLD" is going to cause a ton of unexpected primary losses.

God, why are Senators such egotistical dirtbags who never want to retire?
