Dems are dominating: Mamdani, Spanberger and Sherrill notch historic wins

This all happened in 24-hours. Nature is healing.

This has truly been a positive day for the world

Things have been looking up since sept 10th imo

It was a real Turning Point for the USA

As long as he can bail out La-Z-Boy, he'll be ok.

We passed lunches for everyone in Minnesota a few years ago and even though our family has been fortunate enough to be able to afford lunches for our kids before, it is wonderful to know that every kid is provided breakfast and lunch now for free. Done. No more of that “not enough money in your account, guess you get a bologna sandwich, not the meal everyone else gets” bullshit.

I am so used to being disappointed in Aurora politics, and they're still counting, but Danielle Jurinsky (the councilwoman who sprouted all that bullshit about Venezuelan gangs taking over the city) is in third place in a race with 2 seats open. I was resigned to her getting reelected when I saw her term was up, but right now I have this feeling of post-election happiness I haven't felt in a while.

Hm… it’s almost like if you want change, you need to vote. Sitting out or spoiling your vote doesn’t do much more than literally nothing.

I'll never get over these type of comments in political communities...

It's like going to a baseball game in person and complaining that broadcast viewership numbers are down...

We're not the "casual market" absolutely no one who needs to be told that is here or will ever see those comments.

But we're the ones voting in primaries, we're supposed to be picking the candidate most likely to represent the will of the Dem voter base.... We're more GMs than hardcore fans.

As a whole, the politically active members of the Dem party who vote in primaries have not been making good enough selections to convince the "casuals" to vote in the general.

Shitting on absentee people who can't defend themselves may feel good, but why wouldn't we use these spaces to talk about what works?

Which in this case is increasing Dem primary turnout as much as possible to ensure candidates like Mamdani keep making it to the general...

The thing is Mamdani and others have put in the work to get the attention of voters that normally don't care. His platform was more universally liked and was viewed as the person trying to get people what they needed instead of just being another "lesser evil". If the Dems want more of that, then they need more like him and less like Biden, Hillary, and Harris. Establishment Dems won't get this kind of turnout.

Who knew that when trustworthy politicians with real change proposal participate the turnout increase. Which most countries lack right now

One candidate is clearly corrupt, serving only the oligarchs and foreign genocidal nations. People stay home.

One candidate clearly shows he is listening and cares about his voters. People show up to vote.

Like you said, you need to vote… so if they can’t vote then they can’t come out. Duh!

Nothing has changed just yet, besides who's at the desk. Get organized! Get involved in your community, run in the midterms!

Yeah it's amazing that people go out and vote when, you know, there are actually primaries and the Democratic Party runs candidate that the constituencies actually want. Who could have known?

Absolutely. They still have more temper tantrums left in them. And it will get worse before it gets better. I hope to live long enough to at least see universal healthcare.

Whoa which state? Thats nuts!! Read my comment on this post too Ohio and Florida are both jumping ship too

Wonder what other states will as well

Winsome was such a terrible candidate
