Crawford is ahead of Schimel in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by around 57-42

 

(Edit: with 41% of votes counted)

Wisconsin is interesting.  Susan Crawford has an early lead, but adding voter ID to the state constitution is also winning, and winning big.  Does this mean a lot of GOP voted for Crawford?  You would think the Dem vote is voting no on that amendment.

I don't think voter ID is an indicator of much. The majority probably see it as common sense, no big deal, and an easy decision because they don't think through it too much. Hell, I'm about as progressive as it comes and don't have a problem with the concept, per se.

The issue is how it gets implemented when they make it as difficult as legally possible for folks, especially those living on the margins, to obtain one.

Democrats should never have gotten painted into a corner on that issue, but as usual they were wrong about the politics and also misunderstood their own electorate (and didn’t bother to ask them). But nevermind anybody’s opinions about the issue or history, Democrats should be vocally supporting voter ID now because in the year of our lord 2025, low propensity voters favor the GOP

On the plus side, a lot more R voters are going to fall into that category

Yea. It’s looking like a pass for now. Especially because her Brazilian passport is still in her previous last name while her GC is under mine. Already got a little flack for that coming back from Japan under the other admin. She has no legal issues here but don’t want to give them an inch.

 

that's a huge issue in today's world 

do not let her leave the country

Looking at the map, that Schimel guy did not run up huge margins in most rural districts.  I'm seeing a lot of high 50s and low 60s.  A lot of GOP voters crossed the line.

If the Democrats are smart, they'd make Elon the face of the Republican party. He's just weird, and no amount of his own social media is going to cover up that fact. In fact, I think the more he's seen/heard the weirder he'll be thought to be.

I need a cry rep now. Angry pos isn’t enough. 

Appreciate the sympathy. This is minor compared to what others (including yourself) are going through, but still sucks. She literally chose me over moving to Portugal in 2020 so hoping that doesn’t turn out to be the worst decision she ever made, ol fuckstain is making that look like a possibility.

She chose you over a location because she LOVES YOU. You know this. Go tell her how thankful you are to be her husband for no other reason than to just say it. I think it’s beautiful that she picked you to share a life with. Things will change and these idiots will eventually be gone, but you can’t replace love.

Nah, you're the better choice. The Portuguese like to make fun of Brazilians (probably jealous that Brazilian Portuguese sounds much better/more lyrical than European Portuguese). Even speaking my terrible Brazilian Portuguese in Portugal, I always get the "you speak Portuguese very well... for a Brazilian!" followed by peals of laughter. Of course, Portuguese people are great and it's all good-natured....

(seriously, though, I hope for the best for you both and agree that right now might not be the best time for her to leave here) 🤬

I know, and I know better than to even start to blame myself over the evil sacks of shit causing this. But it’s a thought sometimes. Some nights are for drinkin and ponderin, this is one of those drinkin and ponderin nights.

Yea the colonizers are just jealous the colonized are now the more wealthy country and that Brazilian pop culture dominates the Portuguese yutes. Mostly because their bundas aren’t as big tho.

You are welcome for that btw!!!

Yeah man, the current administration is trying to exhaust the American spirit. Keep that in mind everyday that this ass clown is intentionally trying to wear us down. Break us into submitting. Stay mentally strong and locked in.

Anyone that wants to bring the negativity with Booker right now can kick rocks. If you are unable to appreciate what this man just did just sit down and keep the negativity to yourself. Better yet just shut up completely if you have nothing positive to add to Booker doing something like this. These are the moments that galvanize people to do better.

I wasn’t sharing it but yesterday I was rolling my eyes about Booker’s speech and writing it off as another one of Booker’s bemusing, self-indulgent stunts.
So I was surprised on the way to my colonoscopy this morning when the top 40 radio idiots were talking about it. They did seem bemused, because they didn’t know if he was trying to stop something or not, but they seemed impressed either way. Getting the attention of that kind of low information citizen who doesn’t pay any attention to politics has been a major struggle for Democrats, so I guess this was a W.

Most democrats don’t have an issue with voter ID. It’s the steps to make sure you have an ID that are problematic. Make the whole process free - or it’s a poll tax. Don’t have dumb shit rules like your ID must match the name on your birth certificate (sorry married ladies, etc). The concept is fine - the implementation is the issue.

Too many words

I had a friend slap me silly (figuratively) with this advice when I was wallowing in sorrow and grief about everything. He said my wife LOVES me - ready to leave the country for me. It kinda woke me up.

The issue is that the real intent is to keep the poor and young from voting. And who do the poor and young historically vote for?

the top GOP are fully aware that non-citizens are not voting. Or the number are so low it’s a multi decimal point rounding error. And even then the voting is out of ignorance.

regardless voter id is a loser issue for the Dems to fight. Don’t even bring logic like I wrote above. Instead work to get free IDs to people.

A couple of months ago you had unkind words for how Democrats in Texas pick their candidates.

I would like to hear who you think is a good candidate.  Either now or in the past.  Who meets your standards?

What would it take to get her passport name changed? Can she update it from the US? Due process is dicey now but if I were in her situation I would want clear paperwork from a birth certificate, documentation on my name change, and current documents in the same name.

it probably won’t come to that but if does, it’s too late. In today’s world, you can’t even count on being deported to your original country or not being imprisoned. On second thought, why stay in the US?

For 10 years it's been "the democrats should do this, or that, or this...." when I think the problem is that it's really tough to counter telling shitty people that it's perfectly ok for them to be as shitty as they want. There is no "left" version of that. 

This is a great point.  Maybe the only advice to give is is that they should approach all of their issues as if there are "no shitty people, just shitty ideas."  When one side has no shame, what is the value in belittling them?  There isn't really any satisfaction either.

The counter to this is - hey, you’re really hungry, fuck these rich assholes, we are going to give you XYZ and not raise YOUR taxes.

Granted, the boot lickers that make $10 an hour will tail against taxing people making over $400k getting a marginal tax increase. Those folks are lost no matter what the Dems present.
