3 weeks to go until Election Day 2025 and wanted to share a really cool Election Night chart that my pal @admcrlsn.bsky.social worked on. He did one of these last fall & I suggested he do one again. So here you go!

Almost to the finish line folks! ✊

I mean, my general take is we don't know what they're going to do. And just in general I don't tend to freakout about shit I can't control. Seems like a huge waste of energy IMHO 🤷‍♂️

People freaking out about the SCOTUS VRA case
chicyph80.bsky.social
Yep, seems like it's going to be a good day to log off from here.

A LOTTTT of y'all should do the same.
chicyph80.bsky.social
Lmao let ‘em waste their money…

I think the moving of the goalposts in 3 weeks by the media is going to be studied for years to come…..
chicyph80.bsky.social
Yea this ain’t it…..
chicyph80.bsky.social
The obsession with some to blame “Dem leadership” at every turn is legit a sickness….
chicyph80.bsky.social
Was coming here to say the same thing
chicyph80.bsky.social
Exactly! There is zero incentive for Dems to vote with and for any of this. The White House is just gonna do whatever they want anyway. Shut down the government until the midterms for all I care.
chicyph80.bsky.social
I do question is that’s going to be enough for primary voters tbh.

For the general, I agree but I’m not convinced that’s gonna be enough for the primary.

People aren’t going to want normalcy. They’re going to want revenge.
chicyph80.bsky.social
What I mean by that is, I think Dem primary voters are going to demand scalps but I also don’t necessarily think that’s going to be a winning message for Indies & normies.

It’s honestly quite the conundrum!
chicyph80.bsky.social
I’ve commented this a few times now but I genuinely think the most interesting storyline in 2028 is to be how Dem candidates run with this during the primary while also threading the needle in the general?

I think it’s going to potentially be much more difficult than people currently think.

My vote in the 2028 D primary for POTUS will hinge almost entirely on the % of this Administration they promise to imprison

Good. Even if this doesn’t work, it’s time to go on offense.

Whatever is the worst case scenario is very likely what this court is up to.

I didn’t think that a year ago but certainly do now….

Talk about stepping in it…..yikes!

For the record, I blame this 1000% on the press in this country.

This number should be so, so much higher.

"Is Trump too old to be president?"

Yes: 45%
No: 45%

Ooof D'Angelo & Diane Keaton in the same week. We really lost some good ones the last few days.....

D’Angelo, the neo-soul trailblazer and modern visionary whose three albums were all heralded as classic works of art, has died at age 51.

I mean I hear you AND he always gets a pass for his age because.....of very specific reasons.
chicyph80.bsky.social
From my count, it was 8-6 to deny this.

Elections have consequences. (In our favor with this one)
chicyph80.bsky.social
and the double standard around age and Bernie is just....very revealing....
chicyph80.bsky.social
Mills also was one of the first to stand up to Trump in this new administration. 🤷‍♂️
chicyph80.bsky.social
I assume you'd have that same concerns if Bernie ran for re-election correct?
chicyph80.bsky.social
My God....SCOTUS actually did something good?!
