it was Austin tx, college town. Sucks that the line was that long at poll closing.

What the fuck? Bernie nearly won MA in 2016. Awful splits for he and Warren.
Progressive fans need to know that Jayapal is here for you, is a high functioning human being that works well with others, and when we have a trifecta with no filibuster will help tip the scales for tactical wins in bills with the rest of the party backing. Joe will immediately move to deconstruct outrageous executive power and return more to the legislative, where your representatives actually have voice and influence.

It's actually the senate.
We'd have public option and other more progressive policy by now. They poll well with the electorate.
I like Jayapal a lot. She's very progressive and a good legislator.
could you elaborate on which groups of voters make up "moderate trash"
Even if that's the case those electorates still only vote for republicans or moderate/conservative democrats.
Same. I am honestly glad I have DelBene repping me as she's more my ideology, but Pramila is extremely effective at knowing when and how to push back without breaking consensus. The CPC is the anti-Freedom Caucus because of it.
yup, Republicans see those close Texas polls and laugh
Yeah I think it's pretty much proven out that the EC and Senate are much more conservative than the country as a whole. I don't mean you'd run on socialism perhaps, but it would be much easier to run in more liberal lanes if it was just based on popular vote. The math is conservative more than the people.
To be fair, I never wait either. But it can't be a coincidence that this polling site is all young people.
I can't believe you're ruining my flawless image of you by playing video games
It's not even a moderate electorate! It's a center-left moving electorate shackled to a system that overweights rightleaning areas.
What I don't understand is there being problems in California. Dems own that state, get your shit together
You could almost say elections have consequences. (Having lived in NJ/PA/FL I have never experienced a line when voting, but it would drive me bonkers.)
Yeah, it's really depressing. This country loves to talk about freedom, but we sure don't walk the walk.
We have to focus on getting more progressives in bluer states on a congressional level and local levels.
Then we'll have the infrastructure to get to that point on a higher level.
That's why AOC is doing that strategy now on trying to prop up people on a local level.
I want us moving towards a more progressive future. But when we don't have that strength party wise or electorate wise, this is what happens.
I won't tell you not to be disheartened. That's your right. But all I'm going to say is look to AOC's example if you really want that future.
Nancy and I play games together. I took the photo in my avatar last time we were playing god of war.
Surge, Queen!
WTF are you doing Hildago lol
To meet any other woman in person who may want to run as (or vote for) a woman president in the future, that's a very good reason to stay in for as long as you can.

Yes, but that's a voter allocation/EC allocation problem not a numbers problem.
Americans are left leaning by a majority.
I agree with this as a general stance, but also because until you get the EC taken down and more states added to change the math, we're never going to progress as much as the general populace will be ready for, but that takes planning and dedication, which is why I am bummed when Bernie peeps do say they want to give up -- or young people in general (not that I'm old, but I'm not 18-22 either)
