Part of what's going to hurt in the Georgia special election tonight is, the R candidate is from the one blue county in the district, so Bibb County is barely blue at all.
Feels like if the R candidate wasn't from there, we'd honestly have a close shot at flipping it.

There's late ad spending and then spending too late. Jay Jones did way better in the votes before the text scandal dropped, but the GOP couldn't benefit on votes already banked.
Which is to say that Crockett's late TV strategy isn't going to be as effective when 60% of the vote is early.

First results in from the Georgia #SD18 (Trump+22.5) special election:
Steve McNeel (R)- 52.5%
LeMario Brown (D)- 47.5%
Just early/mail vote in from Houston & Monroe Counties. Brown is underperforming from last month in Houston by a few, but overperforming in Monroe by 20+

reactionary centrist twitter brainrot is incredibly easy to pick out when they try to do issue polling, because you can basically get any answer that you want if you phrase it a certain way
it's just that most of their questions feel ripped out of the mouth of a fox news host

I think I'm the only person who monitors the Spotify charts closely enough to notice a potentially huge single rising up the charts, it's almost in the top 50 and I'm curious to see how far it can go. Can find nothing about the artist, White Noise Radiance, I don't get how there's so little coverage

Someone conduct a poll that asks "should the government inspect the genitals of children as they enter a public restroom" and use 85/15 "no" response rate to conclude that the public strongly supports trans rights.
Lakshya Jain and the Argument fled this website because they couldn't take the criticism and now he's advocating for Dems to abandon trans issues with polling about 'gender surgery for minors' a thing that is not real

A “good” partisan split for Ds in the TX primary would be in the realm of 40% D & 60% R
2018, a year with excellent Dem turnout was R+18, 41-59
Two years with terrible Dem turnout:
2022 - R+30, 35-65
2024 - R+40, 30-70

if you poll Americans on which party they trust on transgender issues, they choose Democrats by a wide margin because they have broadly tolerant intuitions
it's true that Americans also have more conservative views on some specific trans issues, but it needs to be put in context

It is disgusting that this level of Islamophobia is supported by Republicans and condoned by the president. Randy Fine is a bigot and this should not be tolerated. I won’t stop standing with our Muslim neighbors.

There’s really a double standard for women, who basically aren’t allowed to make extemporaneous remarks in public. This hurts Republican women a lot in primaries as well.

it's just too regionalized of a word in american culture for it to really feel right to describe everybody
it's easier to use as a foreigner when you are in an ability to generalize all americans, but that use feels to archaic in american english
