Thanks, me too! But it's been awhile since I've had a Representative in the House that I was happy with. House districts are too big for their stated purpose OR5 goes from Portland suburbs to Bend

Dems and Reps are both corporatists (though you could argue Reps are moving towards some neo-feudalism) neither is willing to severely curtail the big money interests. I think you're right that people are genuinely hurting and anxious. People are also probably sexist and racist. Harris had a hell of a lot of disadvantages to overcome in the president's race and she didn't.
Mostly though, reality doesn't matter anymore for probably a supermajority because people are so checked out. Just vibes - and the vibes are bad
Hey, that's my district. Nice to make the news!
It can be read as someone was very vehemently "protesting too much" in marking "no". I'd just do a casual scribble, since I'm only a little bit racist
100% I think a lot of people don't realize that prisons are modern slavery. Need more slave labor? Send protesters to the gulag.
"Change" and he's further back in their memories. People are genuinely struggling - both in where they are and where they're headed; he promises he can change that direction. He won't, but people are desperate and Kamala ran as a status quo candidate
It's more than just one thing, of course. Probably some racism and sexism too
72 so far, Harris with 67. Pretty low turnout given the stakes
Man, if he'd form a populist left party and stop caucusing with the Dems, he might get a lot of enthusiastic support and candidates running locally soon
I genuinely think it can be both. Voters were too short-sighted to see their self-interest and Dem leaders didn't convince them
I get this, but probably the best way to feel safer is to forge local connections. Check on your neighbors, they'll check on you
I was just talking with a friend about this. How do you build up a left-wing populist party? Establishment Dems seem like they'd rather lose than bring in progressives. So it'd have to be very grassroots, right? Tea party definitely had some help from the top at the time
I bet plenty of players know they won't own the board but were mad that they got the thimble and are enjoying that the car player is losing too...
