I can't shake feeling like the blue wave will be more of a blue ripple..
The Georgia governor's race is really tough to call. I didn't give Abrams a chance when she got the Democrat nomination but she has a real shot, even though I would still be surprised if the good old boy Trump conservative Kemp loses.

My hesitancy to declare victory before all the votes are counted is because although the Dems are poised to do really well, a lot of this seems to be banking on the fact that races that never were competitive for them suddenly are. However, they are still competitive, and in lots of cases very, very close. So I'm cautiously optimistic at this point, but I think Silver is on point here.

I get what MW is saying about Pete Davidson, but I must say I despise the GOP strategy of throwing veterans into races then saying anyone who challenges them is unAmerican.
It's so fucking stupid.
McSally is a terrible candidate who has run a despicable campaign of hatred, but all she has to do in AZ is mention her service 100,000 times and she's running neck-and-neck with one of the best and brightest candidates AZ has ever seen.

The burning hot anger of disappointment people will feel when the Dems take the house and do their usual inept toothless bullshit and don’t go after trump and his cohorts with a savage bloodlust, is going to be even harder to watch than pretty much anything that he’s done so far.

Super ineffectually, but not for lack of expenditure.
Imagine if the staffers of the Brady Campaign and Moms Demand had to get real jobs. It'd be a nightmare.
Did the Parkland kids get fully cut off, or is that thing still happening?

I was referring to the organization behind them that set up speaking engagements, etc. Maybe they just aren't getting as much coverage as they used to.

Soros controls them with his gilded hooves and rests only to satiate himself with the blood of christian babies. He is the puppetmaster and any perceived break in media coverage comes at his insidious directive as part of a larger mission to infect the white christian mind with lies designed to allow retired workers to receive health coverage and children to attend school without fear of being murdered.

I don't know about that, but clearly, if we get rid of this evil totem the AR-15, the balance in the universe would be achieved, and nothing bad would happen ever again.
