100% I think a lot of people don't realize that prisons are modern slavery. Need more slave labor? Send protesters to the gulag.

"Change" and he's further back in their memories. People are genuinely struggling - both in where they are and where they're headed; he promises he can change that direction. He won't, but people are desperate and Kamala ran as a status quo candidate

It's more than just one thing, of course. Probably some racism and sexism too

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

Person on right is glad because they saw the death that was avoided. Person on left is sad because they see what is lost. America voted which path, and I'll be generous and say that neither passenger could see the other side's track

I don't think you can put this one on the boomers. This is bigger than them

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

It's close though. Big shift (so far) is 10 million ish fewer for Harris

But I don't think the leopard will eat my face!

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