Calling this the day after the election so keep that in mind for the future. I think the estimates of 258ish house seats for Dems is actually still an underestimate and they might get 260.

Where were you when Steve Kornacki realized Scott Colom was winning by 28 votes

The right rushing to defend Trump when we all know the next time he's in front of a microphone there's like a 70% chance he doubles down is a humiliation ritual at this point.

They are 1. 25, which means they have some years under their belt in the workforce 2. More importantly, working for someone running for one of the most powerful positions in the world. Also this isn't doxxing, name is blanked out and their employment is publicly reported anyways
1 - y'all have gotta stop doxxing 25 year olds just wanting to pay their bills. 2 - stop promoting digital fundraisers to lead your entire digital operation when they've never touched a social media platform before. that's the real issue here.

I believe Lindsay Clancy should be rotting behind bars for the rest of her life. I also believe the 11 jurors in the Lindsay Clancy trial were 100% correct in the way they voted. There are dozens of us. Dozens! If you live in MA get your state reps to change the law.

Since we're having debates about maps again I present to you my favorite map projection: Goode Homolosline. It includes: * North is up * Properly sized continents * Keeps landmasses together that actually matter * Emphasizes how small Europe is

AOC does not have a chance in 2028 because slightly different leftists will torpedo her campaign because she doesn't champion their exact ideology word for word.

o/u for hong in the primary is 55 i think. and for abdul its 57

Mills was competitive in Maine almost certainly. Actually insane how far off polls were in MI and WI. I'm betting it was 55-45 at BEST for Platner before Mills dropped. And this includes an insanely reputable few Marquette polls!

Nate Silver's model dropping has injected some much needed sanity into a site that has been so starved of graphposting that people resorted to screenshotting betting sites without being sponsored.

If Hong and AES lose you bet your ass Hasan Piker is going to be avoided like nuclear waste in 2028 by any serious candidates.

This is just a reminder that @umichvoter was either lying or lied to. Either way, anyone competent at elections math would know that even with the polling like it was that Stevens could still win because primary polls are notoriously inaccurate sometimes.

Personally I would have given Stevens a 10% chance yesterday but now I would put it at 20%.

Good news is that Cori Bush got absolutely blown out in her house race, so silver linings.

Suddenly Crowley reentering the WI gov race makes a lot more sense if Barnes is dropping out due to supposed sexual misconduct claims (apparently that will be published soon).

Whenever I see a post about Odysseus by a blue check I instantly have to do this. It's just such obvious engagement bait posting by all these accounts. This account has 5k+ posts! In a month of existing!
