    Exactly my take, spot on.

    They run to their Republicans, voting blindly like always.

    Perhaps a glimmer of hope in NW Florida? Voted for the Democrat I knew would lose yesterday (special election to replace Gaetz.) She lost, but we closed the gap and the other Florida election closed it tighter.

    Been saying for years, vote even if you know you’re candidate will lose. These fuckers can read spreadsheets, and hopefully we can make them see the walls closing in. But yeah, had a wild day yesterday and it was a pain to take time out to vote for a loser. But goddammit, my voice will be heard.

      I fully expect people to fall asleep and skip voting like they always do once dems (if) get power again. Either because they’re lazy or upset they didn’t get everything they want after one election, etc.

      I’m jaded but it’s like clockwork.

      I read that today, that does give that area hope. Cutting Trump district by half is pretty impressive. Or implosion of course.
