Eh, if people want to hash this out before the primary even starts then that's just part of the political process IMO.

I've been trying to quit Prime but they keep pulling me back in.

Frankly, when possible I just prefer brick and mortar. I want to try non-shoe cloths on, and the non-clothing stuff on Amazon is 50%+ cheap knock off garbage.

It's okay to execute prisoners because they could potentially escape and rejoin the enemy.

Victory here doesn't even look like a permanent D majority. Victory looks like Republicans finally seeing Democrats fight back and the public getting behind a nationwide ban on gerrymandering (with teeth).

Elections should matter, and gerrymandering is antithetical to small-d democracy.

Even still, with "no cars" signs everywhere, there has been at least a car a minute entering Pike Place the last couple times I've been. America needs a serious cultural shift before we "share" the streets with cars. I'd rather just have them banned, and have that ban actually enforced.

Women want to date men who support crazy philosophies like "Making the world a better place?" Who could POSSIBLY meet such crazy standards?

I'm not sure if we want to open the "denaturalization" can of worms, but if anybody deserves it...

I think his "service animal" example is better.

In general if I couldn't finish in the full time on a test I just didn't know the material very well and was doomed anyway.

As an R strategist, you'd probably feel better about a 16-point D shift in a special election with 60% of midterm turnout than a 12-point shift with 100% of midterm turnout.

AK and OH have popular local Dems to run, and TX and IA look like the Republicans are going to run nutjobs. I haven't been following Kansas, but what's the situation there?

It's not really "win every competitive race," it's "win the three most winnable races then one of three reaches."

Dems need 4 Senate seats to flip control.

Maine and NC are likely flips, IMO.

I'd bet Sherrod Brown can win OH.

Only need one more flip, and Alaska, Texas, and Iowa all seem very winnable.

I have a substantially easier time imagining a D (or in this case D-aligned-Indepedent) winning Nebraska than Florida. Florida is just eagerly embracing MAGA dystopianism.
December 3, 2025 at 2:57 AM
Florida too, nominally, though at this point I assume Florida is just going to trend towards R+100.
December 3, 2025 at 2:52 AM
That would equate to like D+12 nationally?

That wins (all else being equal) Maine, NC, Ohio, Iowa, Texas, Alaska, and... Kansas?

Also, speeding is not a victimless crime. Tens of thousands of Americans are killed by cars annually. I imagine most minority don't enjoy being run over by reckless, speeding drivers. Cities often stick stroads through minority communities, so it seems like they'd actually disproportionately benefit
