First small batch of California house votes looks solid.

It's been nice chatting with you BG. In a couple years I fully expect most of us will be in prison camps.

This is all Obama's fault.

If I was a betting man I'd bet we fall 2 short but it's not impossible.

It's hard to believe but this could have been way worse.

I'm shocked it's only +4R for the Senate with how the presidential went. Still p bad being a 54-46 R majority.

i have a writing breakout session that met today. decided to poke the bear ever so slightly and bring up the election. they did an anonymous answer on canvas just to general questions about the election

only nine students. 8f, 1m. to the best of my knowledge, all 18, maybe 19 y/o. im in nj btw

voting breakdown

3 trump
3 harris
3 “didn’t vote, voting doesn’t really matter”. all three of these were women.

great hits such as “i trust rfk to help with food” “we’re in nj so a federal ban on abortion wouldn’t matter to us” “i heard about project 25 but they said it wasn’t his plan so it’s fine, and they never said what was in it anyway” “trumps tariffs will solve inflation”

the Harris voters all basically said “we’re fucked”

[Mertron]

oh: one of the “didn’t vote” is also an active military member

…immigrant

said no point because “all politicians lie”

[Mertron]

however, at least i teach in nj, and not someplace like, say, Texas, because I would get fired very quickly if i had to put up with this

Control of the House is going to be razor thin. Really hope the late California ballots are more Democratic, could swing like 4 races and the entire chamber.

Flipping the House Blue might end up being the only saving grace of this election if the Dems somehow can pull it off and at least neuter the Regressives Agenda at least till '26 and buy time in order to pull off a turnaround. But fucking hell are we in for a rough few years regardless.

It would all have to be done in the House for 2026.

As I said in the old thread

Looking at the Senate Class 2, only things I can see competitive is Osoff (GA-D), Tillis (NC-R), Peters (MI-D) and Warner (D-VA). Everything else looks partisan as hell. May be a full 4 year term of enabling Project 2025

Were you able to tell them that a federal ban on abortion would absolutely matter to them in NJ?

[Mertron]

told them specifically i would not comment or judge on anything they wrote, just wanted to see what their thoughts were

Why do you think Maine is off the table?

It will only be competitive if Collins retires. The power of incumbency.

These responses are to Matt's tweet. Leopards are going to be feasting in the next 4 years. And frankly, if you voted for him I am not sure that I will feel very bad when Project 2025 negatively affects your life. I'll have to ration my fucks for the people who didn't vote for this disaster

Can’t wait until the VA is yeeted from existence and I’m forced to pay $1300+ monthly for life saving cancer medication.

Im sure white women will feel plenty sorry from a 30 second commercial before they go on with their pathetic submissive existence.

It’s hilarious how they’re fucking racist as shit, but deep down inside they all want a big black dick to reach deep down inside.
