The States : red states in a race to the bottom

They worship fetuses because it's convenient and easy to do so, which makes it a perfect little crusade for cowards. When's the last time any of them stood up for the poor, minorities, or any stranger?

Thanks to this new board software, I'm just going to keep tagging @joecct daily and calling him the coward that he is. I'm not holding my breath waiting for any answer though. He always dances around this topic because deep down, he knows his zero-exceptions birth absolutism and opposition to use of any contraception is no more morally correct than the small minority of people who've serially used abortion as last-ditch birth control.
 
Seems Bernie is endorsing perennial progressive candidate Abdul El Sayed in the 2026 MI Senate primary. Got an email they're planning a series of town halls and other events with him across various parts of the state. His big pet issue is a pledge to fight to end Citizens United and reform campaign finance laws to require public funding. Good luck, that cat is fully out of the bag and won't be reversed with the current makeup of SCOTUS.

All I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by

Democratic Wins Media (@democraticwins.bsky.social)

BREAKING: In a shocking result, Democrat Sam Sutton just flipped NY Senate District 22. Trump won the district by 50+ points in November. People are furious with Trump – and it's showing.

This one doesn't mean anything, unfortunately. It's a bizarre district with a lunatic Hasidic electorate and it's all about the strange parochial (mid)deeds of the Torah Thumpers:

New York is holding a special election on Tuesday to fill a vacant seat last held by former state Sen. Simcha Felder, a conservative Democrat who resigned after winning a March special election to regain the job he once held on the New York City Council.

The 22nd Senate District, which includes Borough Park, Gravesend, and other nearby Brooklyn neighborhoods with large Orthodox Jewish populations, may be the most conservative legislative seat in America won by a candidate running on the Democratic line in 2024.

According to calculations by The Downballot, relying on data generously provided by data guru Ben Rosenblatt, Donald Trump carried this constituency in a 77-22 landslide last year. That represents a further shift to the right from Trump's already massive 70-29 victory in 2020, per VEST data from Dave's Redistricting App.

Local politics, though, is far more complicated than the presidential toplines suggest. Felder, who was first elected in 2012, spent more than six years caucusing with the GOP while still identifying as a Democrat, and he supplied an important vote that kept Republicans in power in years where Democrats nominally held a majority.

After Democrats finally flipped the chamber in 2018, Felder stopped caucusing with Republicans, but he was not readmitted to the Democratic caucus until the middle of the next year. What never changed, though, was how secure the incumbent was at home: Felder frequently took advantage of New York's fusion voting laws to claim both the Democratic and Republican nominations, and he won his final term last year without opposition.

Both parties, though, are now fielding separate candidates in Tuesday's special election. The Democratic nominee is Sam Sutton, a longtime nonprofit leader who is the co-leader of the Sephardic Community Federation. (Sephardic Jews trace their heritage to Spain and Portugal.) The GOP is fielding real estate attorney Nachman Caller, who has the support of one of Felder's former strategists. Felder himself has not taken sides.

The dude they were replacing was one of the NY Dem turncoats who fucked us for the power.

For the past six years, Felder – labeled a “heretic,” “maverick,” “opportunist” Democrat – has held outsize power by defecting to the Republican Party, and in recent years he tipped the balance of power 32-to-31 in their favor. Now, with Democrats set to hold a 39-24 advantage in the state Senate if Felder stays with the GOP, his lone vote is no longer decisive for either party. Senior Democratic Party officials told City & State that the once pivotal swing voter is now “irrelevant.”

Unlike past years, in which Felder extracted parochial concessions for his district by playing Republicans and Democrats off one another, “What will Felder do?” is more parlor game than high-stakes political drama, several Democrats said. But if the last six years has been a period of constant courtship for Felder, it seems the romance is dead because his vote matters so little now.

In short, the party label means nothing there. The voters pick whoever the Shomrim tells them to, and rabbi negotiations for party noms are naked power politics.

Just think, in 2026 trump will cut out the middle man and we won't even be able to vote. Skips the step of having to deny the will of the majority of voters. January 20, 2021-January 19, 2025 was our last chance to fix the fragile democracy we had and give it at least a fighting chance to live on. Too bad the Democratic party spent most of the time behaving like it was all politics as usual. They literally did nothing that needed doing along those lines. If we're lucky we'll at least be able to enjoy watching some of the party leaders swinging from bridges before they come for us regular folks.
 
Bingo. The midterms will never happen, and we will never have a peaceful transfer of power again. It's over.

And the vote for that big beautiful bill is just another in a long line of evidence that cements that.
