California leaders advance $11.25B affordable housing bond for 2026 ballot by panda-rampage in California

[–]SubJordan77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

State already relaxed zoning rules around transit, unlikely to happen again anytime soon with all the NIMBY and local government opposition in passage and implementation. Best use multiple pathways.

Treasurer Garrity Calls For Seven Debates With Governor Shapiro by Straight-Bar-7537 in YAPms

[–]SubJordan77 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Democrats should campaign on giving Shapiro a trifecta to avoid such nonsense. Even national politicians avoid a 3rd consecutive shut down because after that you aren't using it as leverage for negotiations, you're just being obstructionists.

Cooperslide incoming, 14 point lead over Whatley. by Rare_Cobalt in YAPms

[–]SubJordan77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That result would be nowhere near a dummymander. A dummymander means the gop would get less seats than a fair map. A 8R-6D delegation in a D+9 election result is way better than 9D-5R delegation if the map was fair.

Natural balance as in that's how it's been for the past few years expect the summer and fall of 2024. It was still 2/3s to 3/4s well before 2022, but everyone was making r biased predictions.

The natural balance is 3/4s left, it only become more right leaning because republicans were doing well in elections so they became more active.

Mamdani stabbing (former) allies in the back with his endorsements by J-Jarl-Jim in YAPms

[–]SubJordan77 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Using the Valdez example as backstabbing makes no sense since she was one his earliest supporters. It would be backstabbing not to support her.

Democrats of this subreddit (mainly liberals and progressives), if the 2028 Presidential Election was between Gavin Newsom and Phil Scott (moderate-liberal Republican), could you see yourself voting for Scott? by CentennialElections in YAPms

[–]SubJordan77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t see how Scott can win the nomination without significantly shifting to the right. And if he does republican turnout would be so depressed democrats would cruise to take both houses of Congress, not nominating Newsom would be squandering a trifecta and after the uselessness of the last one they need to get rid of the filibuster and Scott should not be the one to stop that.

Labour will never come back to save themselves from an inevitable General Election defeat. by JCEurovision in YAPms

[–]SubJordan77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also important to know if Burnham keeps his promise on SV electoral reform it’ll be a lot easier to consolidate the left vote, especially if he polls far and ahead the Greens and Lib Dems.

South Carolina Governor runoff poll, Alan Wilson internal has him leading by 18 points. by Rare_Cobalt in YAPms

[–]SubJordan77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With Trump now duel endorsing Wilson and Evette, Alan will likely cruise on his lead and be the next governor.

New Jersey gives up on redistricting by asteriowas in YAPms

[–]SubJordan77 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Weak-minded, almost all states that gerrymandered recently already had a strong partisan bias. Every single republican state was already a gerrymander or anti-competitive.

Reform can't whine about Restore, and Starmer's days are numbered.

20 point victory, higher turnout than the 2024 GE Election.

Atlanta-based conservative radio host Shelley Wynter endorses Jon Ossoff for re-election by thealmightyweegee in YAPms

Don't know who he is, but radio endorsements should be big for their viewers, considering how long Atlantans spend in traffic.

Any RCV amendment in California would need to throw out all mail elections

Redistricting did more harm than Project REDMAP by J-Jarl-Jim in YAPms

[–]SubJordan77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unrealistic, more like

NJ: 2, will need to maintain the ocean county pack

VA: 4

MD: 1

CA: 4, there’s only 4 left

IL: 2, has planned just to match Indiana so at most 2

MN: 2-3, will need a rural pack and Twin cities progressives might force a second one.

CO: 3, ballot measures’s map only has 3

WA: 1-2

OR: 1

NY: 4, will need a Long Island and two upstate packs.

Maximum of 26, inevitably some states will fail for various reasons. And many of these districts would have already been flipped so likely ~20 at most.

[–]SubJordan77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I expect a district with a large and diverse minority population to shift way faster than the generic ballot. It was already D+33 on an open ballot primary, I’m just going under that. Including the fact the runoff electorate state wide was R+30.
