You don't know how bad Philadelphia actually is now. Browse some Google street views & honestly ask yourself if you can tell the difference between it vs. the slums of Lagos.
Whenever I feel shitty about living in NY I just drop myself on Google street view onto Kensington Ave in Philly and feel so much better after that.

Seriously, whoever is reading this, do it, drop yourself at Kensington and Allegheny and move around. It's incredible
 
Looks like the GOP flipped NJ 8.

Correction, it's NJ 7.
What the fuck? How?! Essex has Newark! Union has Elizabeth! What is this Clown World fuckery?

I'm relieved and experiencing a little deja vu, but I'm also super confused. North Jersey is the kind of place where political affiliations vary wildly from town to town, but I was not expecting an R flip. I guess my vote actually mattered for once.
 
It's too early to file one now, she has to wait until after the election is called when it will be too late to file.
Too early to file when antics are at their peak, and call would be the cutoff when there’s nothing left to do but claim victory or concede. When does she file? Or do we wait for someone to go around the county and just storm a disputed polling site, seize the ballots , and do an in person hand count of the ballots on their own, while guarding them from prying eyes like a bunch of feral cats?
 
Older Texas millennial, and it seems that a lot of millennials as a whole (usually the younger ones) have an extremely authoritarian view of the world and how it should be run - and that's terrifying to me. I don't know what the fuck happened.
They got pushed out of the job market not only by other millennials but the entire world. Then add into the fact every millennial has doubled down being either queer or single or an incel vs having families. See they're the result of the Fuck you don't do what they tell you generation when they sell out and millennials are encouraged to be gay and do crime then think for themselves.

Trust me if you think boomers are insane the millennials will be insane if we ever see them get to retired.
 
Another white pill for you all and it is a good one.

This is good news. Everyone with a brain knows that the true power is with the courts.
 
About to ask if Michels had any chance of a comeback with ~20% outstanding but I guess that answers that.
Not sure how everything I'm seeing shows Johnson btfoing Barnes, but somehow that mumbling penis Evers and Michels are on margin of less than a percentage point.
 
Imo it looks like Republicans are now where Democrats were back in 2018. Mild gains but not as significant as expected.
And considering the hopes going in, today can be considered a disappointment at best or an abject failure at worst if you lean right.

Another white pill for you all and it is a good one.

Sounds like the education triangle and Asheville may not have all the power now.

That alongside a red state legislature is sufficient to utterly fuck election fortification. See Wisconsin as an example. Most governors will not dare veto any simple measures the legislature pass, and the courts then can be used to shoot down existing acts and procedures.

Nigger what the fuck, are those fucking houses?

To explain because Wisconsin is my wheelhouse. Wisconsinites like people who act competently and efficiently. We thus think that Barnes can be shot into the sun for all we care. Sadly, Evers has mostly handled things alright and most importantly did not step int he way fo the legislature de-fortifying the election. So, not a smuch animosity against him.
