@CV__Politics @davidslosttt I think you’re projecting because you want it to be true that it hurts him. He’s saying he can’t be a leftist because it’s Nebraska… duh? Nowhere does he say he believes in those things.

Chris Pappas wins the general by double digits, a complete nonevent.

[Owen🦋 @Nebraskademsoc]

What's your most controversial take on the midterms?

[Joe @JoePostingg]

I tend to assume Democrats will win in 2028, mainly because that would set them up to get redistricted into oblivion

[ethantagonist @ethantagonist]

@LinkofSunshine Surely something can be done, if everyone wants her gone?

[Daniel @growing_daniel]

The anti-datacenter movement is literally the most rational response imaginable to an industry whose leaders have publicly said the best case scenario for their product is to get everyone fired. If you can’t see this then your brain is in late stage tech rot.

[Basil🧡 @LinkofSunshine]

New sentence, but I think this desantis is right.

If you correct someone about the water usage of data centers, they very rarely change their minds and go “oh I’m glad nvm”

Ppl want data centers to be bad, because they don’t like what they stand for

[ethantagonist @ethantagonist]

Both Abdul El-Sayed and Ken Paxton both probably outperform their polling this November. People are shy to support bad candidates, but ultimately go back to their partisan roots.

[ethantagonist @ethantagonist]

Credible endorsement from other party… oof

#MichiganSenate

The Detroit News: Michigan Democratic State Representative Karen Whitsett appears at Mike Rogers campaign event.

[ethantagonist @ethantagonist]

@LinkofSunshine Except for Michigan's 7th CD. Oh well, Slotkin's seat may just be gone.

[Hunter📈🌈📊 @StatisticUrban]

Larkin winning FL-25, a Trump +9.2 seat, is essentially gifting it to Republicans on a silver platter. I don't really get progressives' goal there.

If they wanted a seat in south Florida, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz's seat was a far better option to focus on.

[Talarico Stan @RealDuolingo_]

Stevens campaigning with Abdul

Angie Craig campaigning with Flanagan

Hong campaigning with Crowley

But a certain congresswoman from Tx can’t do the same thing

[Everything Price Sufferer (but especially eggs) @agraybee]

At this point you have to wonder if Platner was actually 30 points ahead of Mills before she dropped out.

[ethantagonist @ethantagonist]

@Drone6981 @RalstonReports 2008 he got 49/50 states right

[ethantagonist @ethantagonist]

The issue is that they are extremely accurate, even if bad for society and whatnot. When something has a 80% chance of happening on Kalshi, it happens roughly 80% of the time... that's stellar for predictions.

[VinnyTheBozo @BozoVinny]

After this midterm is over I demand all serious publications remove prediction markets out of their models and out of the discourse.

[Zachary Donnini @ZacharyDonnini]

@realPrestonHill when something has a 60% chance of happening on Kalshi it happens abt 60% of the time (barely noticeable difference to a coin flip over a couple weeks of high profile elections), not 100% of the time

[NBA @NBA]

A CAN'T-MISS TRIPLEHEADER TO OPEN THE SEASON.

The 2026-27 NBA season tips off Tuesday, October 20 on NBC and Peacock!

[ethantagonist @ethantagonist]

@LinkofSunshine It’s not hard to be better than G Elliott Morris.

[ethantagonist @ethantagonist]

@StatisticUrban I think 0-2 depends on if there’s a runoff lol. If YES, very disappointing, if no, whatever meh.

[ethantagonist @ethantagonist]

@Texas_Libtard @Gaismair I’ve seen enough. James Talarico (D) has won the U.S. Senate race in TX.

[ethantagonist @ethantagonist]

@JakeSherman Run? Thousands. Won? Zero.
