72 so far, Harris with 67. Pretty low turnout given the stakes

Man, if he'd form a populist left party and stop caucusing with the Dems, he might get a lot of enthusiastic support and candidates running locally soon

I get this, but probably the best way to feel safer is to forge local connections. Check on your neighbors, they'll check on you

I was just talking with a friend about this. How do you build up a left-wing populist party? Establishment Dems seem like they'd rather lose than bring in progressives. So it'd have to be very grassroots, right? Tea party definitely had some help from the top at the time

We tried in Oregon. The real problem is that both Democrat establishment and Republican establishment hate RCV because it diminishes their power. It may be time for progressives to separate from Dems a bit more at local and state levels. Look at Osborn in NE

None, I'm afraid. 5% of Republicans voted for Biden in 2020. 5% voted for Harris in 2024. A centrist waste

I'm revising my estimation of the electorate a lot tonight

If this shift is both A)right and B) representative across states, Harris is looking at over 400 electoral votes on Tuesday. I feel crazy just typing that

The good news is that Biden is president this time, not trump. Plus the immunity for protecting democracy by ruthlessly enforcing election integrity

"that 'I voted' sticker is sexy....." Normalize fetishizing political involvement!

Whether he wants them to or not

I posted twice, automod got one of them, but the other was gloriously empowering. Can recommend 8/10 Edit: I'm definitely a lurker though. We have value and votes, and are important to the ecosystem!
