A socialist crushing it by double digits in PA is astonishing. The path forward for Dems nationally is so damn obvious.

Raytheon and Novartis will Manhattan Project an IRL heart attack gun before they let this dude completely take over and do the socialism.

wtf? 2 days ago 538’s senate forecast was like 51/49 red now 55/45 blue? Weird shit
Those numbers are the percentage likelihoods for who will control the Senate, not the projected number of seats. It’s not a very big swing, Dems went from about dead even for control to a little bit favored, that’s all.
Fetterman vs Oz race is a bit misleading bc Fetterman is a perfect PA candidate and Oz is one of the worst Senate candidates in recent memory that either side has put forward.
Still gonna lose NC by around 5-7 and Ohio by 10+.
Assuming a PA pickup, can afford to lose one of GA/AZ/NH/NV, but not two.
This is insane, aren’t all Republicans old and don’t the Dems always win these?
Does it mean anything if Fetterman beats Oz, but Shapiro beats Mastriano by a wider margin?
Voting yes, but depends on the definition of “in play”.
“In play” means there’s a reasonable chance, however slim. “Not in play” would mean that any perceived chance is an illusion and any effort on this race is a waste.
No. It just means the anti mastriano vote is a bit bigger than the anti-Oz.
Then yes of course it’s in play.
Anyone who voted no should go to Predictit and buy dollars for 77 cents.

Alaska had a primary where the the top four advance to a ranked choice general election. The third place finisher dropped out and Peltola actually finished fourth in the primary, which I’m sure will bother some if she wins.
I hate the California top two jungle primary. Top four leading to a ranked choice general has been my proposal, so I’m glad someone is doing it. Maybe someone in Alaska reads Unstuck.
At least we got this moment out of it:

Wow. Bartolo had gender reassignment surgery and got elected to Congress.
We are one degree of separation. Our friend grew up in DR and was close friends with BC growing up. He always said that when he made it he was going to whatever he wanted. The joke now is he ate everything he wanted. Still sees him on trips back to visit family in DR.
In the 3 minutes I hate-watched this last night I saw some old Republican Congresscritter get a called strike 3 on him. He turned around and looked like he was gonna take a swing at the ump. Was hilarious.
That was immediately followed by another Republican doing their best Pete Rose barrel through the catcher at a play at the plate. Honestly surprised it didn’t lead to more of a confrontation as she crushed whoever was catching for the Dems.
I’d be ejected in the first inning for beaning everyone in the dome
