man look at that solid blue chunk in the middle, maybe Ohio can get their statehood now.
Why would we let ohio in now?
THE FABLED BLUE ATTACK
YOURE BLUE NOW
THATS MY ATTACK
da ba dee da ba di
Unironically, a very fun boss fight. I think the internet will explode when he finally shows up in Deltarune.
America got bluekake’d
They keep pushing this to make us think we won something.
It was far from a “blue wave”, more like a lapping at the shore.
Until we’re consistently voting in a super majority of DSA into both Houses, we’ve gained almost nothing. That is what it will take to win this war by voting alone. If you think that’s impossible, then maybe it is.
You are so defeatist. “We’ve gained almost nothing” in the face of the best election for socialists in america in history. This shows that what the DSA is doing works and that they are on an upswing. Why do you feel the need to somehow interpret this as bad news?
Yep. This isn’t the presidency. This is a shift away from fascism to neoliberalism on a small level with a sprinkling of the occasional progressive. All because fuel prices got high, not because people are caged in gulags or being shot by gestapo in the street. MAGA is upset their mallcruiser brodozer costs $150 to fill up or their soybean export trade deal got wrecked.
Have you seen the exit polls about what people care about? People meme about it being gas but no, voters care about a more just world
I cared about so many people besides myself for so long but now I’m completely fucked and none those people give a fuck. Thank fucking God someone cared enough about gas prices because it’s getting fucking hard to fucking survive.
Moving forward it’s selfishness because fuck that giving pieces of myself away to get nothing back.
Careful, if Dems have a majority and they do nothing significant with it, you’ll have 2025 all over again.
This happened in France during François Hollande’s term. The French people were fed up with Sarkozy’s outraging reign, so we voted massively “left”, only to discover that the French socialist party was applying… right-wing politics and economics (signing the entire party’s death warrant), leading us to 10 years of neo-liberal/fascist Macron, who claimed to be a centrist (the equivalent of your Dems), capitalizing on both right and left voters’ disappointment.
Pressurize your elected representative. Don’t let them slip, or terrorize them into leftism. They’re your elected representatives. They’re your bitches. Treason to the People must be met with retribution.
o7 The French have always had my respect. You guys are the real ones. We’ll keep pushing.
I called my reps today to tell them I do want impeachments and criminal investigations.
One of them I got a live person who said she’d fielded similar calls this week.
Yep, this needs to happen. With the establishment today saying “we weren’t elected to hold them accountable, but to fix the economy” (which the economy almost only ever means stock values to them, not how the average person is doing), they need to be pushed to actually do something. This clearly didn’t happen in order for them to preserve the status quo, and they know that. Hopefully it’s the dying breath of the corporate-owned Democrats.
A much larger fraction of the newly elected are those who came to bring a fight, so the USians chances are much better this time if they persist
Impeachment and getting even aren’t priorities: They’re framing one of the key things they were elected for as childish and unnecessary.
I’m actually a little stunned they didn’t let voters enjoy the thought of whatever they imagined Democrats would do for a little while.
And this is why it’s difficult for me to get excited about voting for these motherfuckers. The election is over, can I say it now? I voted, I did my shit. We did the thing and elected them, and they’re already talking about caving and compromising with fascists.
At a certain point, if you’re still really into compromising with republicans, it becomes difficult to say you’re that much better than they are.
Then it’s time to terrorize them.
Yeah write you reps today. Call them tomorrow. Let them know what you expect from them. Let them know the campaign is over but the fight has just started.
Also tell them fuck no on Jeffries as Speaker.
Damn I wish more people could see this message
America blue itself
Can someone tell what exactly this displays? Senate? House? Governors? Some form of average of the above?
I believe it’s a measure of red/blue shift at the county level compared to the 2024 election.
Well yes, but how is the shift calculated. Do they take the numbers from the house election, the senate election, something else, all of the above?
I believe this one comes from the House election numbers. It’s part of an analysis/article the NY Times put out. I’d link it directly, but I think it’s pay walled unfortunately.
Ah, thanks.
Unfortunately I canceled with them, over their incessant nagging for their app and upsell attempts.
Bluekake
Sigh… Just take my upvote. You earned it.
You could say he… blue himself
:D
Blue hopes make blue ropes
It’s -kake, btw
Oh shit, you’re right! Thanks!
you discust me and I love you
It’s a goddamn biblical flood.
Which website is that map from? I’d like to view it.
Okay but what’s going on in those few places that went more red than before?
You must never go there, Simba.
Hilariously, it seems to have backfired in several instances for the GOP.
“dummymandering”, when you design a bunch districts to win many small margins with a few large losses, and then lose many small margins instead
Because the number of districts won matter more than the number of people, because the politicians represent land over people
Racism and lack of education.
Racism because of the intentional lack of education. ☝🏼
Absolutely this.
Eastern South Dakota’s the biggest spot like that.
They should really stop letting the elk vote.
Looks like Polk County might be the only county in Florida to go more red lol. Which absolutely tracks as a former resident of that state
It’s actually sumpter and Charlotte were the only two to shift right. Polk shifted towards Dems by 14 points.
Daaaang!
Polk did still mostly lean red but only by around 5% which is not bad for what is usually an extremely conservative county.
All I know about Polk County is that it shows up a lot on Chris Hansen’s new show. What was it like living there?
These days it’s one of the most rapidly growing counties in Florida. It used to be all orange groves but now it’s just endless stretches of shitty new build suburbs. I live in Orlando but travel around the state for work and Polk is an awful place to be.
Oh I never lived in Polk County. I grew up in Orlando and then lived south in Palm Beach County for a bit. Polk County was always a joke in Orlando as the most redneck area of the state.
Bluecular bomb? Looks like fucking Neptune down there, holy shit
What’s the little red poot coming out of south Dakota?
The pinnacle of Republican campaigning I guess
