I would say 100%. Thanks for playing the probability of past events game.

God, Trump is so excited about this too. Every time he talks about it I get this sinking feeling like he’s going to order the US military to side with Russia over Europe and Ukraine.

Oh, this could be my next custom spirit for Spirit Island.

With a PhD, MD and a Rhodes Scholar he might be overqualified for the position.

After capitulating to Abbot and Trump, Whitmire: “Don’t vote me out next year, I’m on your side actually!”

They were such good social markers though. It made it much easier for rich morons to tell on themselves.

Anyone who thought Trump was going to moderate his rhetoric was definitely dreaming. Prepare for the White House to be much, much worse.

I mean, these tech CEOs went to college graduation ceremonies and said “None of you will be getting jobs, lol” and went on TV and said “AI will destroy humanity” and then ramped their data center expansion so rapidly that peoples electric bill went up by 300% and when the public hates them and their technology and votes accordingly they are “What happened? How can people be so short-sighted? Why is this so political?”

I dunno, fuckheads, maybe move fast and break things isn’t a popular strategy when applied to society.

If you look at his positions over the course of his career, he is damn near always on the right side of history.

It was a gripping race, but in the end you have to hand it to her opponent.

The rumor I heard was basically that Ossa was a poor candidate and the DSA are trying to pick the most solid people to support.

Jefferies literally just met with Kushner before the election. Now, I don’t fault anyone for trying to deal with the White House, someone has to if they want to bring costs down, but doing so before knowing the strength of his own position is either foolish or telling.

He won’t change sides, he gets committee power from being in the majority party. He would have switched in a 50/50 split but not now.

I shat myself on purpose!

Ok, whatever, bye.

If we can get the votes to remove him for crimes against the People, we should do so regardless of political expedience. If the office of the President is to ever have legitimacy again a criminal cannot be allowed to remain there if removal is an option.

An excellent point which brings up the other issue with exit polling is that it only tells us what people who vote think and not people who didn’t vote. Democrats turned out in similar numbers to 2024 (which is huge for a midterm), but Republicans just didn’t show up. Why did they not turn out? Personally, I think it was the gas prices and grocery prices (and the Iran War for causing the former). But that data won’t show up in the exit polls.

Exit polling is always a bit fun to interpret, but it’s a lot along the lines of “Oh I hate all politicians. Not my candidate though, he’s great! Just all the other ones.”

Individual candidates were absolutely supported. The perception of the Democratic party by the people voting for them is bad. Myself included. Rank and file Democrats do not like the leadership of the party. One can only hope some of the new Senators and Representatives can push for better leadership.

At least the measure that would have forced schools to out LGBT+ students to their parents failed. Small comfort, I suppose.

Lol, exit polls show democrats underwater by 8 points with voters. People hate the Democrats, they just hate the Republicans more. Imagine if one of the parties actually listened to voters for once in my lifetime.
