I know a lot of you feel hopeless right now, but I watching this unfold, I want to contextualize a few things about the battle ahead.
#1 Exodus Cry and NCOSE are scrambling: 95% of coverage about OnlyFans supports SWers. They didn't expect this, and now want to shift blame. 1/
@PatrickinNOLA@JohnValenciacf@Nate_Cohn So there's a theory of political redistricting where you deliberately gerrymander for a competitive map, sort of an "anti-gerrymander" there are issues with it (like any political system lol) but it passes the smell test for non-partisan redistricting.
@Tyler_The_Wise@DefinedSuch@mattyglesias Unfortunately small dollar donations serve as an important check against corporate political spending. Publicly funded elections are a much more practical solution.
I voted today, early, in California. I couldn't use the mail-in ballot because I'd moved between when they sent it and when voting began.
Even so: where I voted, there were no lines. There were extremely helpful volunteers. Everything was clean, safe.
