Election Day.

  • Image result for black jim crow voters image

Should be fun tonight. Dems still have PTSD from 2016, so all is quiet on the blue front. They don't want to jinx anything. 

trump is hunkered down with some Bic Macs and watching FOX VIEWS and CNN, while he stuffs his face and hopes for a 2016 repeat. 

My prediction. Republicans hold on to the Senate and even pick up a seat or two. Dems win back the house but not by crazy margins. More like a strong blue ripple instead of a wave. 

Governor's races? Who knows? Abrams will probably lose in Georgia,  and Gillum will more than likely win in Florida.  Here in Pistolvania, the democratic Governor, Wolf, will win by double digits. The democratic senator, Bob Casey, will win big as well.

Please don't hold me to those picks tomorrow. :)

    Rodney Davis is now looking like he might hold onto his seat in central Illinois. If he does, it will be by the skin of his teeth, though.

    However, Dems kicked ass in Illinois overall.

    Won all positions in state executive branch and majorities in both legislative houses. Total Democratic dominance of Illinois state government.

    And gained two US House seats, taken by Lauren Underwood and Sean Casten.

    Gillum and Abrams were long shots to begin with. Not so surprising they didn’t win.

    And O’Rourke coming anywhere close to actually knocking off Cruz? That should have Republicans absolutely shitting their pants in fear. Demographics are not on Republicans’ side in Texas. The Latino population in that state is growing steadily, and the now openly racist GOP is alienating them steadily, thereby guaranteeing they all grow up to be good Democrats.

  41. A-men to that. The unchecked republican stranglehold on power is broken. I know a lot of Trumpies that honestly believed that democrats would be crying tonight because of the red tsunami that would occur because all working Americans understood that Trump cared about them and that he was the great emancipator who finally broke the establishment in D.C. aka drained the swamp. Those guys are licking their wounds like dogs.

    Good news in demographics. The underlying factors that led to the retaking of the House are extremely encouraging. We won the hearts of women, independents and white college students all at better than 50% voting democratic. So the writing is on the wall for the Trump presidency.

    Was anybody else shitting bricks? I sure as hell fell a lot better.

    So I finally heard Stacey Abrams speak in Georgia tonight. She is one powerful and amazing woman. She may very well have won the race without the active voter suppression organized by her very opponent. I really liked her. Fucking awesome.

    So twenty of the seats that fell to the democrats were taken by women. Thank you patriotic American women! Women hold the key to the future. It's too bad that republican women haven't been able to help out very much so far. I think it was a good ten years ago since we have had a nice wave of females in congress. It was like all of the gains of the late twentieth century had simply been erased. Thank the Goddess. Praises be.

    Stacey Abrams lost in Georgia by about 64,000 votes. Could Kemp’s voter suppression efforts have accounted for at least 64,000 lost Democratic votes?

    The grim answer is: maybe. He invalidated an awful lot of voter registrations for no good reason, and pulled all kinds of additional shenanigans to keep black people away from the polls. Things are still rather Jim Crowish down there in Georgia, when it comes to voting.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Read the reports from GA polling places yesterday morning. No working voting machines for four hours at the precinct and hundreds of voters had to leave without voting. Multiply that by a few dozen precincts and there's your 64,000.

    Still we won seven governorships, including Michigan, Wisconsin, Kansas, and Maine, slowly undoing the damage from 2010.

    Three states in the deep south voted to expand Medicaid, and that combined with the newly Democratic state governments will get health insurance to millions of more people, which is what the Democrats were running on this time.

    We won measure 4 in Florida that re-enfranchises ex-felons. That's over a million votes in must-win Florida that Fergus will be up against in 2020, if he makes it that far.

    California stepped in it again, but it wasn't all bad. They failed to repeal the gas tax, which is good, but failed to pass the rent control measure, which is bad. A bunch of Republicans who always win won, so no surprises there, really, but the Democratic majorities in the state government expanded a little.
    Tony Thurmond lost, which is a drag, but the measure requiring caged animals to have more room won, which is good.
    Barbara Lee won with 87%+ of the vote.
    Buffy Wicks beat Jovanka Beckles, and although I didn't vote for her, she'll still do a good job, so I'm OK with her victory. She came to my house, fergawdsakes.

    All told, a pretty good election. The NYT is calling the overall popular vote D+9.4, which does qualify it as a wave election.

  62. Moar good news for deficit loving stoopid fucking wingnuts- enjoy -

    The federal deficit increased $35 billion in October compared to the same month last year, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) said Wednesday.

    The U.S. spent $98 billion more than it took in during October, the first month of the 2019 fiscal year, according to the latest CBO report.

    The spike in the deficit was fueled by the Republican tax law, which substantially cut revenues without offsetting them. It was also inflated by a bipartisan agreement to increase discretionary spending.

    Top administration officials have repeatedly claimed that strong economic growth would produce a surge of revenue to bring down the deficit, even as the White House's own projections put the 2019 deficit at moar than 1 trillion fucking wasted bucks.

    Dems won by a 7.1 percent margin. Unfortunately, this only translated to a 28-seat gain in the House. That's enough to take control, but not as many as there should have been.

    Some douche in these comments earlier touted the fact that the Republicans had won 63 seats in the "wave" election of 2010. Woo-hoo! The GOP is number one, amirite? Except that that 2010 "wave" involved a Republican margin of victory of 6.8 percent -- LESS than the Dems' margin of victory this year.

    So why the huge difference between the two years in the number of seats picked up? Well, the easy answer is: The system is rigged. The United States is not as democratic as it purports to be. And in particular, the Republicans used their victory in 2010 to intentionally rig the system to keep themselves in power through extensively gerrymandering House districts.

    So, as usual, we have Republicans proudly celebrating the results of their cheating, as if this were an actual accomplishment and not proof that they're scumbags.

  87. The 2010 election was right before the post 2010 redistricting that gerrymandered the districts so far in the Republicans' favor that we needed a six point victory in the house this time (and in 2012, 2014, and 2016) to break even.

    ...the Republicans got beat in the popular vote by 12 points and nine million votes, and gained three seats.
    All of that on top of some of the worst and most blatant vote suppression ever in a US election.

    I'd say that things aren't looking too good for them for 2020 and beyond.

    "So why the huge difference between the two years in the number of seats picked up? Well, the easy answer is: The system is rigged."

    No, moron, the actual answer is there is no such thing as a national popular vote for House or Senate seats. Dems racked up big surpluses in one-party districts and states. In Califoria, there wasn't even a Republican on the ballot, and the two democrats got a combined 6.8 million votes. That alone is 2/3 of your margin.

    You are almost as dumb as Doug.

    Yeah. With the Senate elections, though, the Republican advantage was just a result of luck rather than cheating, as was the case with the House. The vast majority of the Senate seats up for election this year happened to be ones that were already held by Democrats, so there were few opportunities for picking up new seats.

    Of course, the very existence of the Senate is a highly undemocratic feature of our federal government that favors Republicans, but that's another story.

    Granny, I'm sorry to have to inform you that Field was deported back to Jamaica yesterday when ICE agents caught him trying to vote. He knew the risks but did it anyway, and now he has to pay the price of living in a black-majority country for the rest of his life.

    Some of the Dems' electoral disadvantage does come from the fact that they tend to live in urban districts with very high concentrations of Dem voters. Which is sub-optimal for the party in a political system that does not use proportional voting (another undemocratic feature of the US, by the way).

    But a lot of it is indeed the result of deliberate Republican gerrymandering of districts after winning control of state governments in 2010. I don't expect you to admit your side constantly cheats. It is your nature to lie about literally everything.

    (((ACLU))) comment on Sessions resignation: “Jeff Sessions was the worst attorney general in modern American history." I guess because he recused himself from the Russia investigation.

    Eric Holder ran guns in Mexico and was held in criminal contempt of Congress.

    Janet Reno burned children to death.

    "America is a Republic, not a democracy."

    "Republic" means a country with an elected head of state, rather than a monarch.

    From what I can tell, Republicans do want a king -- an obnoxious racist orange one -- so, despite the name of their party, they seemingly don't much like republics. And don't like democracy, either.

    Some disturbing news:

    Actual Nazi Arthur Jones managed to garner 26.5% of the vote in Tuesday’s election for an Illinois congressional seat.

    Granted, probably a large portion of that 26.5% was Republican voters reflexively pulling the lever for a guy with an “R” after his name, without realizing that guy was someone running on a campaign platform of genocide against Jews and people of color. But I wish there were some way to find out how many did know his views and voted for him anyway.

    And also, shouldn’t the Republican Party have made some effort to warn people away from voting for Jones, after making the mistake of letting him onto their ticket in the first place by failing to run a real candidate in the primary? Just a little PSA: “Hey, guys, don’t vote for Jones. He makes our party look extremely bad.”

    But apparently, Trump’s GOP don’t care anymore about being associated with Nazis. Another ugly sign.

    Sorry, no, BLM and Antifa are not as reprehensible as Nazis. Opposing racism is not equivalent to being racist.

    You might be closer to the mark with the New Black Panthers, but you’d have to look long and hard to find any Democrats “associating” with those nutjobs.
