frequent lately.

Take a look at your party.

that is how they would say it. They never admit weakness.

I guess that counts as a loss! Isn’t that too darn bad!

Who would blame them? This soreloserman apparently.

He always displaces the blame.

once the precinct-level and voter-registration data analysis are released.

Star Telegram (local paper) suggested that almost all of the independents and some of the Republicans voted Democratic in this contest, and lower overall turnout (special election and horrible weather- for us) magnified the influence of voters who cross typical party lines. This sort of pattern, with GOP identifiers staying home or breaking for the Democratic candidate in unusually high numbers is exactly the kind of measurable crossover/defection that bodes well for November.

I'll call it a Win, as well as calling it a Leading Indicator.

good analysis makes the victory even more enjoyable!

Gee, I wonder who they have to blame for this one.

I expect this to happen over and over and over again. I expect the answer is that 75% of ALL Americans want their democracy back. Your vote is more important now than it has ever been in the past. We must stop this shit.

. . . are Republicans who cannot bring themselves to vote for a Democrat, so, they simply don't vote. Outcome is the same -- D wins, R loses.

"...would upset the balance of power in Congress and make it more difficult for President Donald Trump to carry out his legislative agenda."

NO. would make it harder for krasnov to continue ruling by fiat and terrorizing and impoverishing the American people.

he doesn't really have a legislative agenda, at least not since the big fuck you bill passed.

The first female governor of the state was recently elected, beating the maga candidate and sitting lieutenant governor by around 14 points also, and this was reported as no big deal/nothing to see here, Don't read too much into it , such liberal media we have nowadays

the coverage sure is different from when Dems lose, then the analyses are all OVER the place

In less the total number of voters also dropped.

Maybe it’s your message…? (And actions.)

I know my inlaws and they don't plan on losing to "godless baby killer" Democrats.. honestly, that's where they are.

The previous TX State Senator won his election in 2022 by 20%. So this special election was a 34% swing! #Guardthe2026Elections

White folks be afraid of white folks.

How unique and special!
