I don't think it's a mandate for many of the lefts policies, but it is actually a rebuke of Donald Trump. The problem is they'll take it as a mandate and go nuts like the republicans did when they interpreted it as a mandate.

These elections aren't mandates, we keep electing the opposite of what's in office at the moment because neither R's or D's can behave like adults once they're in office.

...but could it be because no one was looking for it the reason we are find it now?

If you are making voting harder not easier then you are doing it wrong.

It should be very hard for foreigners to vote in an election they're not qualified to vote in. STFU and go dig yourself a hole. Hard stop..

I would suggest his wife call their local Animal Control number and report his self-inflicted abuse, neglect, and despondency.

He lost because Abbott would not stand up for Texas ...

#6 And, when the evening was done, Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed farted in YOUR general direction, JeffJ Bellboi.

"According to Snoofy this is fascism."

It's a tool in the fascist shed, that's for sure.

Your first clue should have been the extent to which the fascist party thinks voter ID helps them win elections.

You know what's another tool of fascism?
Your revisionist history.

You just said "Just voted in Texas. as always, you have to show an ID."

In fact, voter ID is a new requirement that's only existed about 8% of the time Texas has been a state!

"Texas first introduced voter ID requirements in 2011 with the enactment of Senate Bill 14."

Perhaps you deliberately went with a "We have always been at war with Eurasia" type of comment.

But I don't think you're that clever.

I think you said that to lend the imprimatur of historical precedent to something that's been newly crafted by the fascists.

Am I right?

You're too busy thinking about men's penises to answer.

I'll wait until the story is verified by a real news organization.

Like the NYT? That sung praises for Hitler?

I know the argument from progressives will be "Well, this is just a little bit of fraud, but could it be because no one was looking for it the reason we are find it now?

are you completely stupid?

TFD claims it outright cheating and you ignore it?

LOL

I just voted in person. Had to show my ID. Most secure way to vote. I farted in Zed's general direction when I was done. Glorious!

" Moderate Democrats who ran on moderate platforms is a major factor in why the Democrats won"

Except that plenty of DSA Dems won as well

I cant speak for everywhere but in Texas, conservatives lost because over 1.5 million people didn't show up to vote compared to the 2024 tally.

- Need more Californians to move to more states.

That would be awesome. The sooner it happens the sooner Conservatives can take back CA.

You idiots are going to shoot so far left that we will pick it all up again in 2028

Inquiring minds want to know: Is Judge Alito's wife flying the American flag upside down outside their house today?

JFC, STD. Check yourself into a facility before you hurt yourself or someone else. Any ER can help you out. Or just call 911 and request an emergency committal.

Man on street interview..
" So what now that Dems control Congress ?"
--impeach baby... Impeach and convict "
--so who takes over for rest of term?
" I don't know man... The best or highest democrat..I guess man. "
--and you filthy pukes call us stupid.

Actually, the Dems will impeach and remove Trump first. Then as Vance tries to get a VP, the Dems can block it from happening in Congress. No VP.

Then Vance is removed. Guess who acts as President?

AOC for Speaker of the House!

------------- is the drooling mongoloid who claimed Talarico was in a mental health facility.

I remember fascism. It came to America wrapped in scrubs carrying a vaxx that didn't work. His name was Fauci.

" Meanwhile, you're pretending fringe aren't treated like fringe."

Here's hoping that with such a strong majority in the House Dems will be in a position to treat them like fringe because they can still get their prerogatives passed without their votes.

feel free to list AOC's committee assignments, and list the laws she's authored. It's embarrassing.

" feel free to list AOC's committee assignments, and list the laws she's authored. It's embarrassing."

Yet she's considered a possible front runner for the party for 2028 POTUS. I'd like to hope primary voters would know better but who knows.

You're a ------- joke, sonny. Go ---- off.

" "Robert Reich."

Why lie?"

Very recently he wrote an article advocating the government seize Musk's companies.

Also, the following representative elects all advocate nationalizing certain industries:

Melat Kiros
Adam Halsey
Chris Rabb
Donavan McKinney
Claire Valdez
Darializa Avila Chevalier
Peggy Flanagan

Throw n Mamdani and Katie Wilson for good measure.

I am hearing from Republican sources that JD Vance's next move is to change his name a fourth time to Ron DeVancis.

~Hunter Biden~

What I love about this is that Elon moved his factories from California to Texas only to watch it flip blue.

I love this for him.

1 part Iran war, 1 part tariffs, 1 part immigration enforcement, add a dash of the future of democracy, and shake over ICE. That's the new cocktail I'm calling the Blue Tsunami.

A Gal_Tuesday sighting! Welcome to a Brave Blue World!!

My happiness at yesterday's outcome is tempered only by the cynical assumption that if Americans are given affordable gas and groceries again they'll go right back to the idiocy that gave us Trump and MAGA.

This is happening ONLY because voters were too affected on a personal level by this administration's policies.

Islamism and Communism.

Aside from that, congrats on the big lefty win, folks.

You're an idiot.

"Communism."

Who has suggested the end of private property?!? Name them.

ICE are murderers

If he's smart, he will reconsider how he spends his money.

He has powerful AI helping him.

Personally I love that he tried to escape taxes and accountability by moving his operations to Texas and the blue wave followed him there.

These elections aren't mandates ...

But Dear Leader loves Man dates. And Man arses too!

I don't think it's a mandate for many of the lefts policies ...

And I think you should call 1-800-Whaaa!

The Dems now control the House and the Senate.

The Dems get to set the agenda now. Guess whose policies they will now be discussing and putting forward to vote on.

Those leftist policies that you are so terrified of.

Have a wonderfully blue day.

Someone mentioned a Constitutional Convention being possible... how 'bout we kill Citizens United while we're at it?

Fair enough. Just reminding folks that ACA subsidies, while necessary for the moment, is the opposite of universal health care. It's pure funding and subsidizing the private health insurance industry.

which means it needs an ending date if we're serious about making real change.

Good.

Now start the investigations into the bribes she took in exchange for military contracts.

Now we need to brace ourselves... for the clowns' incessant whining about how long it's taking some Dem to repair what they broke.

#59 | Posted by RightisTrite

Of course he'll whine. It's what he does.

Trump's a laughingstock now.

I'll be curious to see how low his approval rating will go. Methinks it isn't near the bottom yet.

Win or lose, the fact record numbers of registered voters who voted can see their votes mattered portends well for the future.

WAY PAST TIME TO HOLD THE MIOST CORRUPT ADMINISTRATION IN HISTORY ACCOUNTABLE

It's a start...

Snoofy is a racist who thinks people of color are incapable of getting an ID.
#39 | Posted by BellRinger

Snoofy is a realist who recognizes that Republicans make it more difficult to obtain State issued ID, solely as a tool for back-door disenfranchisement of lower socioeconomic status voters.

If Republicans wanted to actually secure elections with Voter ID, they would enact Federal legislation to provide free national voter ID for everyone.

Republicans staunchly oppose a free national ID card, precisely because it would be an end-around on State level restrictions tailored to disenfranchise demographics that Republicans don't want voting.

Your inability to respond to these observations is how we know you aren't a serious person who doesn't really understand anything about (or is lying about) why Republicans are enacting Voter ID at the State level, but never the National level.

Dems will win control of Congress. What happens next will probably be newsworthy as Trump spends the rest of the year causing chaos. I hope not, but that's the likeliest scenario.

My hope is that this is the beginning of the end of what began in 1980; the rise of the religious (but not very Christian) right and the "Greed Is Good" era that's seen America returning to much the state it was in the 1920's, when the wealthy and powerful held a majority of America's wealth thanks to their paid-for politicians, while the vast majority of Americans struggle because political and economic power has once again been concentrated into the hands of corporate interests and the wealthy few.

I have a feeling the tide is turning.

Older generations want a return to normalcy. Newer generations have largely lost hope they'll achieve the American dream.

They're voting.

If only there was something that could be done to prevent measles...if only.
