to maximize gains you have to turn dark red republican districts in to red ones and red ones into light red ones. in a very bad national environment for Rs, this could bring a total wipeout. this is why i specified incumbents.
...the Republicans who were engaging in partisan redistricting because they were afraid of being punished by voters for Trump's policies will stop redistricting because they're now even more afraid of being punished by voters?
I feel like I'm missing steps here.

really important element of this basically total victory is that it puts the fear of god in republican incumbents and may bring the redistricting push to a total halt

The last New York City mayoral candidate to secure over 1 million votes was John Lindsay in 1969.
Zohran Mamdani will be the seventh New York City mayor ever to receive more than 1 million votes.

could be worse for establishment dems
imagine if they spent the past year linking the next mayor of New York to "democratic socialism," thus setting an unimaginably low bar for success
why, that could have made the heretofore toxic socialism brand appealing after even *mild* success. disaster!

the Bush era and what comes after presents many thrilling moral questions like "which is more evil, having principles that you gladly betray in exchange for power, or to simple have no principles at all to begin with?"
NEW: Dick Cheney, who died Monday, was an early GOP voice for treating same-sex couples fairly.
"Freedom means freedom for everybody," Cheney said at the 2000 vice presidential debate. It doesn't change his legacy, but it is something we should remember today.
