Flipping a district from R+32 is very difficult. This type of movement is still positive.

Agree. I’m Florida born & raised - one of the few and used to be one of the proud - so I have a visceral hatred of the people who ruined not only the natural beauty but also the body politic. I fucking hate the Yankees who infiltrated my state via I-95

I fucking hate them too and I'm a Californian

Let’s not throw stones from glass houses. I’m CA now and there are MAGAt flags on houses in my neighborhood and “Тяцмр” stickers on cars parked in church lots. The rot is deep and wide Like baby Jesus said about his momma’s birth canal

Of course this is true. I live in Shasta County where voting is at the discretion of MAGAs. I was speaking for myself, not the collective. Also, I tend not throw stones when unwarranted. 🕊️

Fair enough. Throwing stones is therapeutic especially if you get them to skip along the water

I'm in for that.

This thread encapsulates why I like Bsky so much

Stop it

Love it

Rot so deep, it's gone international! Man strolled in with a Trump hat and sat behind me on a tour bus in Ireland. Yes, in Ireland!

Puke! Sic some snakes on him

Seen a handful of hats at premier league games on tv like “make Chelsea great again”. #YNWA are the 4 letters on my hat

😂

mid western invasion in my opinion. i’m also a native.

Tampa tends to own the Midwest flood East coast of FL tends to be Yankees and Canadian snow birds But not anymore thanks to Mr #krasnov and his marvelous malarkey machine

My experience from the before times

lived on both coasts but found the midwestern peeps particularly MAGA. Miami always had New Yorkers so back in the day it was normal to me. anyway, i despise. the build, build, build mindset

I left before maga was a thing. Went back maybe 15 years ago. Unchecked vertical development. A trip to the beach that was 20 mins “in my day” took over an hour. FL is a great place if you got the money to be coastal elite and seasonal. Fucking bitch Trump’s fat ass couldn’t handle 365 heat

i’m glad i have the memories of how it was. growing up there was magical. i’m living in a state now that has always been horrible

With all due respect, this isn’t a fucking game.

And yet game theory can often be applied

Competition between 2 sides with zero sum result: one winner, one loser. So it’s not a game in the sense of being trivial, but it is in the sense of competing for the only prize on offer: elected to office.

No. We play to win the whole game,which is control of congress and the presidency. A gain of +25 is much greater gain than, say, winning a GOP +5 seat by 1 pt would. The swing is what matters, not whether individual special elections tip over the line.
