At this point, I'm ok with that. If a state wants to fux itself, let them. As long as Republicans don't get the Senate seat and fux me in MA.

In New Haven I heard it constantly and it certainly wasn't from the right. (or "center" for that matter)

If "Defund the Police" wasn't in fact what progressives want then they did one of the worst jobs promoting their agenda that I've ever seen.

That’s because the kind of police reform advocated by the party doesn’t lend itself to a soundbite. That’s one of the problems with peoples attention span

OK some guy's opinion. But so what? It doesnt benefit any party.

Nearly you haven’t been paying attention to Republicans M.O. Any group or method the advantages Democrats Republicans move to suppress

For 49 years Republicans lived off mail in ballots from the military Since 2016 they have moved to suppress or end mail in voting because Dems are taking advantage

In this last midterm young people came out in high numbers and voted Democrat. Usually youth vote didn’t amount to much but that changed. So what do Republicans do? They move to suppress

Why the hell do Republicans have a history including…

Closing polling places in large minority districts
Voter ID where they know they type of ID disadvantages Democrats
Lawsuits in Democratic districts
Unending recounts in Democratic districts
Attempting to end Sunday voting?

Ask yourself why?

Mastro still behind by 821 after 10000 dump from Washo. Looks like Clark's got to save the day. Still 24000 outstanding. MSNBC dump.

We went from about 2 dozen polling places to 3. In KY.

No sustenance (e.g. water) for people endlessly standing in long lines, even in full sun.

Is Clark scheduled any more drops tonight?
Nope they do it once at end of the day. They earlier announced they expect to finish the count tomorrow.

The deadline to cure a ballot is Monday, but I don't know if that means Saturday is the last opportunity (is the office open to the public?), or if Monday is included. Either way, I doubt too many folks actually cure their ballot.

It's honestly insane to even be talking about the possibility of Dems retaining control of both houses in a first term midterm of an unpopular president.

Win or lose, Republicans fucked up really... and I mean reallllllly bad.

Who knew promising absolutely nothing positive and at best turning a blind eye to completely crazy people in your midst might not be all that popular.
