I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.

"'They’re spending more money than I would even tax them,' [Mamdani] said in an interview with MSNBC last week."

This is the message. Make it clear that these billionaires aren't just worried about losing money. They're worried about losing the ability to exchange their money for power.

This times infinity. Except it should apply in every single political message and issue. Dems want people to flourish and be as free as possible until you hurt someone else.

i’d also say that the GOP’s obsession with this gives candidates an opportunity to articulate and stand up for their values. “i refuse to make anyone feel like they don’t belong in my [state/city/community]. and i want everyone to live the best life they can achieve [insert policy slogan]”

I am taking particular pleasure in the complete collapse of trans-as-unbeatable-wedge-issue narrative this morning. It might be an 80-20 issue in voters minds, but it has to be on voters minds to matter. The results in VA demonstrate that it is very much not on voters minds.

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.

Gen Z women aren't playing around.

Colorado Republicans had targeted school board races as their best opportunity in 2026 but teachers union and Democrat-backed candidates lead in Denver, Jefferson County, Cherry Creek, and even conservative Douglas County, per 9NEWS' Jennifer Meckles. #copolitics

My predictions for Tuesday's elections is a clean sweep for Democrats and democracy:

NJ: Sherrill wins.
VA: Spanberger wins.
NYC: Mamdani wins.
CA: Prop 50 passes.
ME: Q1 fails.
PA: SCOPA Justices are retained.

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

Seems like a suspiciously distressed asset. Who owns the legal rights to sue the administration and defend the Texas suit? Something odd here.
