Love this for them. I don’t think the GOP understands what is about to happen to them.
Tuesday really was a blue wave of astronomical proportions. People are fired up and angry all over the country, from blue states like New York to swing states like Pennsylvania to ruby red states like Mississippi, where Democrats broke the supermajority in the state Senate! It’s really giving me hope that people are finally over Trump and the GOP’s complete inability to govern.
This week has been so good. I’m pretty sure the orange felon will appear even more unhinged after such defeats.
It sure doesn’t help your cause that people are starving because you shutdown the government and are blaming anybody but yourself. This regime of hate will come to an end and the criminals who thought they are untouchables will be arrested, prosecuted and jailed
Thank you to them for choosing the country over party and/or their pride.
Republicans are now the Serial Killers of Democracy
This is why Human Ted Cruz is panicing
the established GOP politicians, the ones who just want to survive the MAGA explosion…they know this signals a big blue wave coming in the midterms and possibly in a few more years at the next election cycle
The corrupt entrenched politicians are all worried that they are no longer safe in their assumption of reelection
Great news!
Build solidarity instead of insulting people.
That’s weird.
By the way, the fact this happened in Pennsylvania is extremely important as a signaler for other swing states
PA needs an all Dem legislature so badly
I really need all these places where Dems have won for the first time in an age to really really help those citizens and make them realize that voting for eveyones best interest helps improve their own lives.
I wonder if the new gerrymandering efforts will backfire now – they have packed and cracked districts, but their margins may be too thin in some areas.
Would’ve loved this headline in November 2024
The winning Democratic Candidate, Kretchmar, will be the third mayor Beaver Borough has had ***since 1946***. This borough really did have the same person as mayor from 1946 until 2004. At the time of his death, he was recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the longest serving mayor in U.S. history.
I hope Kretchmar doesn’t have a very detailed 10 year plan for his life, lol
Nature is healing.
I doubt they are turning to the Democrats as much as they reject authoritarian rule over democracy.
PA saw a lot of these. Deep red but ancestrally blue (aka white working class) Greene County south of Allegheny (Pittsburgh) voted for a Democrat for a county-wide office, albeit it was the incumbent who lost the Republican primary. In Dauphin county (Harrisburg), two Democrats won seats in the court of common pleas there, which is the first time Democrats have had representation on the local court in over 30 years. Dems also flipped the Luzerne County board, in a county that Trump flipped in ’16 in dramatic fashion as part of the Dem collapse in NEPA.
Bucks County is probably the most impressive though. It’s _the_ most important swing county in the state, which is obviously the most important swing state in the nation, and Democrats made a clean sweep of all of the countywide elected positions for the first time since the _Civil War_. This is also a county that anchors a Congressional district with a Republican that has managed to outrun Trump by 10-15 points in his seat (which Biden and Clinton both carried), and will likely be a top target next year.
I’m proud of my home state lately. All they need to do now is get rid of Fetterman.
Will democrats stick to bread and butter issues or squander all of this?
I got confused by the article. But after some searching:
[**Beaver County** ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaver_County,_Pennsylvania)has had Dems and Reps mixed
Now, [**Beaver**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaver,_Pennsylvania) (a borough in Beaver county), had voted Rep for a century
If, and I mean a big fat if Dems manage to get power, there are things that will need to be focusd on. Increasing the size of SCOTUS bench, gutting citizens united, and redrawing all fifty states with a mathematical formula to curb gerrymandering. Yes there is more, lots more to fix, but I’d consider this the foundation.
This is a good thing. My guess is political views are a part of it, alot of old ass republicans that held on to those old world views, are dying off now. Hopefully this is going to be a trend nationwide.
Were there any Republican winners on Tuesday?
I’m wondering if all gerrymandering is going to backfire on the Republicans.
Wonder if all the companies that threw in with them feel really stupid now.
I might forgive a person but I won’t forgive a corporation.
Maybe some the pennsylvanians went to Philadelphia and looked into some US history.
I get the feeling that GOP redistricting is gonna backfire. You’re taking away red votes from strong red areas to make them weaker and boost other areas. There’s gonna be a few flips.
You can only water down soup so much.
Are these deep red but impoverished districts getting hit by the SNAP cuts?
Results like this and the two gubernatorial contests are hugely significant. Not only does it show enthusiasm even when a candidate isn’t Mamdani, but it sends a message that the GOP cannot simply gerrymander their way out of this mess. If damn near everywhere shifts left by double digits, literally no seat is safe.
That should be a blinking red light to both the Congress critters as well as the state legislators voting in these maps.
Johnson „Blue states voted blue, we weren’t surprised“
Wanna revisit this quote Mikey?
I would not be surprised if a false flag steal for democrats was perpetrated by gop members to use as proof that the election was stolen “by democrats”.
10 years of trump… these MAGAts won’t be changing their minds now or anytime soon.
Way to go PA!
The pendulum swing is starting and it’s going to be glorious
I always believed, let trump and his cronies just do their bidding. Let them destroy the country and after that, the gop will be done for forever. Currently he is already doing a great job. But pennsylvania flipping blue is a real kicker.
did these fools actually think they had a chance after 7 million plus protested to have trump and his nazi regime ousted ???? they are all delusional at this point
You knows bad when Mississippi turned some
Seats over to dems.
