that message got through. iirc, it was the group ‘run for something’ that said they have just been flooded since nov 5. they had a huge surge after 2016, which is how the blue wave in 18 happened. they said it’s now 100x that.quite a few of those winners r still serving.
we didnt just take the house, we took state house seats, and just here in il, we made big dents in 3 red county boards. since then we have added to those seats. at least 1 is now blue.

when republican voters actually see how dems govern, they realize we arent commie pinkos coming to take your stuff, and pervert their kids.

i think the ONLY reason tx hasnt flipped is guns. both beto and alred lost on that, and that alone. i dont care what the polling said.
that’s a box that’s hard to get out of, and i dont have the key.
but perhaps this is a sign that ppl r starting to value their children more than their guns.
