I'm very anxious about this election.

Mastriano is a QAnon extremist asshole, who's accused children's hospitals of kidnapping homeless children and surgically changing their gender, without their consent.
I'm sorry if my language is poor, I'm not as educated about these issues as I should be, and I am working on improving myself
Not gonna say I’m confident he won’t win either, but hey, at least he’s not a shoe-in. And we have rank choice voting! I can’t imagine that motherfucker is anyone’s first choice

Every night I introduce at least one person to the very concept of a person calling an incorrect phone number.
Edit: Also if you're just sitting there in your anxiety I highly recommend doing some phone-banks. At a minimum it's just a kind of boring game where you click the right buttons every minute or so and keep saying "Hi I'm a Democratic volunteer -" before a hang-up and at best it's someone saying they really appreciate you calling and you're the whole reason they're voting and they're so proud of you.
I had forgotten about Hillbilly Elegy until I read this.
Yer a good terminator
we live close enough to DC and VA that on broadcast TV we get absolutely non-stop ads from Virginia and oh my stars and days could you guys please get your shit together because if I never hear about Hung Cao or Yesli Vega or Abigail Spanberger again in the entirety of my life and beyond I will still have heard too much.
Now if we could just swap out our sales tax for an income tax...
Pritzker spent thirty million dollars getting that fuckbag onto the ballot.
Irvin and Bailey was one of several cases this year of Dems boosting the more radical/Maga candidate in races with the belief that while they might be bug eyed fucking crazy but that makes it easier to win against them after the primaries where a Republican moderate closer to Dem positions can pose more of a challenge.
Historically Warren did it once in a re-election campaign and won, other the other hand you have 2016 to point to of what happens when you get over confident and have to live with the results of the bug fuck crazy person winning.
In Pritzger’s case last I saw he was leading by 13%, but I think there has been more money spent in that race than any other?
Like in the Republican primary in Illinois Darren Bailey got 57.2% of the primary votes. The next highest candidate was 15.2%. The mayor mentioned in that article came in third at 15%.
Republicans really like the shittiest candidates. They don't need to be swayed by Democratic advertisements. It's just a more interesting story to ruminate about how this or that electoral tactic may or may not be a dangerous mistake than it is to put in bold letters "Republicans are horrible" every day.
dumbasses like my dad voted that down last election here, things could have been so much nicer
I’m not saying to despair, but don’t let this impact your mental health.
Anyway, that's all over now and Stitt is in with a wink, congratulations Mississippi you still have a neck-and-neck competitor for the bottom of the barrel on all those education and healthcare lists.
I really love my local state representative after the recent redistricting, though, gonna be a genuine pleasure to vote for them for the first time. My former representative wasn't bad, but Mauree Turner is the goddamn business.
I wish to buy you a coke Friend
Lol that's fucked. Vote by mail is the best. Anywhere who can't do it is deeply fucked imho
Hell, most of the down ticket ballots are either one republican candidate or maybe an Alliance Party member which has zero seats anywhere in the US government structure and also doesn't have any kind of political platform that I could find.
It's very discouraging to live here!
Hillbellegy?
Y'know the guy who wrote the book about how it's poor people being lazy for why they're poor instead of bootstrapping themselves to prosperity....even though the system has completely abandoned them and flooded their community with drugs.
When the Democrats have spent more money than the radical candidate did running ads touting the things that the candidate is openly running on

Also, and I'm sure this is happening everywhere, but we've been getting just the most blatantly racist political ads on TV during the World Series here. It's fucking terrible.
My mom is still volunteering at the polls down in wood county which always makes me nervous anymore
Every time I see that, my brain processes it as 'Hellbilly Elegy by Rob Zombie' and I get disappointed when I look at it more clearly and it isn't.
Anyway, dropped my ballot off at the Election Office Dropbox last week. Straight Democrat ballot... where I could, given how many positions had only Repubs running completely (not even the Legal Marijuana Now Party showed up) unopposed.

At least it looks like Shapiro is a safe bet to beat that fucking neo-confederate in the election for governor.
I'd gladly trade that feckless snakeoil shit Dr Oz for Ol' Abortin' Walker in a heartbeat.
Fetterman should be a big piece of the Democratic party going forward, win or lose, much like how Stacey Abrams should have been
But I really really hope Fetterman wins
Felt OK.
