2022 Midterm Elections (Abandon hope all ye who enter here) butnahhh. or maybe?

At least they’re blunt about fucking you in the ass.

Pro tip: When you’re trying to get action, don’t kill your action in the next sentence.

I was pretty sure I wasn’t going to get any action

well, after looking like we might have a chance to go all blue in SD county, redistricting made my congressional district even more red (and renumbered, it’s now CD-48), so my preferred candidate dropped out and is now running for state senate, which is a much more favorable map.

Fortunately he is starting with a huge war chest (for a state senate campaign).

This is all fun and games until the republicans sweep all the “lean democratic” districts in 2022.

I don’t understand. We’re set to pick up 4 seats to their 8, but we’re gaining seats?

Is the idea that we have some blue wave dems in what were formerly red-leaning seats that are now redistricted to be more safely dem in the future?

Yeah, pretty much. But we also have blue wave dems in formerly blue-leaning seats that are now redistricted to be more safely Republican in the future (GA-06 is probably the most famous of these).

Omgclayaiken announces a bid for senate in NC.

in race that will be democrat anyway, and would otherwise likely go to a black woman. /smhclayaiken

Well obviously I know it’s not me. But you’re right, it is House, not Senate.

Well that is far less interesting.

I guess it’s political ad season again, and I’m already screaming at my tv. PA senate candidate “fighting FOR American Capitalism and AGAINST socialism. Fighting against the woke mob.” And “this is where I shot and killed my first buck” while dressed in his hillbilly camo shit. His ads all end with him and his friends shouting “LETS GO” and I’m guessing the “brandon” is just implied there. The future of politics is so grim here. Dipshits are going to take over everywhere.

standard R primary season ads that sounds too sane to be the actual nominee tho, got to go much crazier

the camo shit for a deer amuses me, yeah got to get every advantage you can there

pretty sure clay aiken has run and lost at least once or twice for that seat before

it was a different district, possibly due to new maps

Great ad, can’t wait to see how the establishment Democrats work together to whack him so they can run the ex-military non-scary white guy, Luke Mixon, who is running on bipartisanship and building more infrastructure.
