But nobody knew democracy was happening last night, right?

It doesn’t always have to be this adversarial guys.
 

Overall, more than 1.4 million Texans cast a ballot this year according early totals from the Texas Secretary of State’s office. That’s just under 8% of the state’s nearly 18.5 million registered voters. By comparison, about 2.5 million Texans voted during the state’s last constitutional amendment election in 2023.

I always note the presence or absence of ag tags.  

It's notable that a lot of the troglodytes on texags lack the ag tag.

Then again, not having an allegiance to a school by attendance/graduation and voluntarily selecting eaTme to root for and texags to do it on tells you most of what you need to know.

I Guess If You Say So GIF

I cannot begin to imagine the insanity required to voluntarily root for Texas A&M football (save for a couple years when everyone wanted to see what a crackhead playing quarterback would do next) when you have no connection or obligation to do so. Madness.

Horribly written article. The vote totals are 3M. That's early voting only.

The 2025 numbers are early voting totals only, dumb dumb.

Feels good this morning. A small small glimmer of hope out there. So much more work to do. But after a year of despair, I’ll take any hope

I'm pretty sure everyone that used Facebook at all a single time during the last 5 days knows it was election day. They were pushing a banner thing. 

AISD didn't have school yesterday, because election day. 

Everyone I know and not just online people knew it was election day. 

You are wrong in almost every sense of being wrong here. 

Democracy is something everyone in this country knows about and should be proud of. Shut your fucking mouth for once when you are flat out wrong. 

Did anyone watch the World Series on fox?  If so, they would have seen FNC Election Day coverage commercials.

An excellent essay

Quote

The results of last night’s elections also poured cold water on the tired argument among elite Democratic Party strategists that the party needs to seek out the moderate middle to win elections. Matt Yglesias, perhaps the loudest proponent of this theory, argued before the election that ...

Seven data-driven lessons from the 2025 elections - Democrats outran their polls and swept statewide races from Georgia to New Jersey, on an agenda of affordability and a broad anti-Trump backlash

Based on some simple projections, I have calculated that the strength of the Democrats’ performance yesterday implies a House popular vote margin in next year’s midterm of around D+8 or D+9.

The dude that giddily declared the midterms over after Kirk's murder (before he knew the first thing about the shooter) is here to lecture us on the risks of small sample sizes, extrapolation, and the fickle nature of the electorate. Adorable.

You are confused.

Even this cat made it out yesterday to vote....

This picture may create a future Texas proposition to say that not only do you have to be a citizen to vote, you must be a human. After all, we don't know who trained that cat to vote for Marxist ideas and candidates.

Virginia is by far the best barometer to look at from the places that voted. My sole hesitation is how you measure the effect of mass layoffs, contractor job losses, and overall anger in the NCR and project that out to states less affected by federal government actions. Likely same trend but not as stark. 
 

I think it’s pretty axiomatic that Trump overperforms when he’s on the ballot and GOP underperforms when he’s not. Bodes well for 2028. They admitted as much with the gereymandering ploy.

It's not just the state officials election in Virginia.  Look at all of the local elections.  Democrats won in places they either had never won or hadn 't won in a long time.

So the referendum I mentioned earlier actually passed handily, which was a very big shock. The campaign against dwarfed even the governors race here, it is a big, big deal.

Gotta give credit where it’s due, Ana pretending he doesn’t want to be adversarial is some top shelf trolling. Much better than the usual slop he gives us.

You actually make me wonder if he is offloading his trolling to ChatGPT

Sorry if already discussed - I'm not going to review all 9 pages of this thread - but why does everyone want to make grand inferences about what the NYC mayor race means for progressivism/Democrats/Trump and on and on without mentioning that Cuomo is literally a sex pest? From what little I know, I probably fall somewhere to the right of Zohran Mamdani on a lot of things, but I wouldn't vote for a guy that has been credibly accused of being a creep and resigned from his last job in shame as long as there's a reasonable alternative. Could it not be as simple as that?

A falsely justified war is coming. Maybe internal and external at the same time.

Still, the news is encouraging.

Most aren't using the Mamdani win as an indication, most are looking at the other races and in those, Democrats outperformed compared to past races.

Mamdani's win wasn't a suprise. Cuomo is a disgraced sex pest and Sliwa is a joke perennial candidate. The Democrats demolishing the Republicans in New Jersey and Virginia is something else.

I totally get why Prop Q didn't pass. sucks but there it is. I guess Austin will have to get more creative on how to handle the homeless issue.

Hopefully the softening of the realestate market will help a little bit.

Probably. And nobody voted for that type of shit other than a small handful of lieunatic far-right mouthbreathers. Basically Jamelle Bouie's point. Will that encourage them to double down? Possibly!
