  1. It’s a 10 year redistricting election, that alone should get Democrats off their ass to vote Blue. If you’re a progressive pissed off about lack of nominees you identify with, you won’t get a better shot to have redrawn seats for candidates you prefer by sitting on your hands. More Dem seats to go around, the higher chance of getting a progressive in one of them.

  2. Stacey Abrams is doing more important things like driving out voter registration /participation in a flippable state and exposing voter suppression and election fraud in the process. I fully expect her to win a rematch against Kemp in 2022, expand Medicaid, and do all she can to make Georgia truly purple/ possibly blue with the growth of Atlanta and its suburbs.

  3. Did anyone pay attention to the Cuellar primary with Cisneros? It was pretty interesting to watch the dynamics in the race with how she painted him as a DINO in the district and how close she got to beating him. Lots of overlap as to what’s been talked about with older more conservative Latinos, Catholicism and abortion as a one issue voter wedge, and how younger Latinos are much more progressive and active than their parents. Wouldn’t be surprised to see her take care of unfinished business 2 years from now unless redistricting somehow makes it more Conservative Dem (not even sure if possible). Cuellar mirrored a lot of Republican attacks on AOC against Cisneros, and in my opinion he is on borrowed time in the Valley.

     

    EDIT: Nice article about the race of you weren’t aware.

  4. I can’t be the only one who feels good about Montana and Kansas (if Kobach is nominee) right? Kansasansnans’s already rejected Kobach in 2018 and Montana has a history of voting D at statewide level, especially in the Senate. To me, these races have a much better value for fundraising if the end goal is Senate control. Much, much, much cheaper than than both of Georgia’s, NC or Iowa.

    If you are advocating for a SK style tracing program, you are basically advocating for the CDC under the Trump administration to have access to all of your GPS localizing data, credit card and other financial records, police records, CCTV feeds from every major city, in essentially real time. Can you imagine the reaction if Trump would have proposed something like that in January?

    Zero, nobody reads the fine print

    I don't think you appreciate how redneck Hispanics can be, especially out in West Texas.  They see assimilation as their primary goal, and they think a real mark of assimilation is voting Republican.

    Could very easily be Corpus/Victoria/coastal bend. Republicans still blow away Democrats in connecting with blue collar voters through socially conservative wedge issues IMO

  7. I actually emailed the Secretary of State office before Ken Paxton said the excuse of not wanting to get Coronavirus was not reason enough. The S.O.S office bolded the disability excuse or fear of becoming ill as a reason I could use for an absentee request. Going to be interesting to see how this shakes out in Texas

  8. Any Hegar supporters worried about the endorsements Royce West has received pre-runoff from former candidates? I can see him easily uniting the Black and Latino vote that Hegar can’t match and that being enough to get him through the finish line. He’s going to run up margins in the Metroplex, has the endorsement of Turner in Houston, and my opinion of the Valley turning out to vote for a white woman (unless your “Mama” Garcia)  is pretty low on my likely meter. She obviously raised more money throughout the process but her momentum hasn’t taken off like her congressional campaign did.
