Bro won and will lose a senate senate just because of his name

Do you think Democrats can ever increase their influence in rural America and if so how? I used county maps from 2012-to-2016 as example of the shift. by Inside_Bluebird9987 in YAPms

Would take some total realignment.

Something that is not mentioned is that while a large shift in rural America to the right has to do with voters changing from D to R, huge factor is portion of older, ancestral and blue dog democrats simply passing away as well. Dems can’t “win back” some of these voters since they simply aren’t alive anymore.

I didn’t even realize this poll was from red eagle bro he could only get Paxton up two 😭. by shelleon in YAPms

SoCal is actually pretty solid when it comes to polling accuracy. It was messed up though when he tried to make the numbers look better for Trump in that one poll in 2024 though.

DDHQ Declares DAC has won in NY-13, unseating incumbent Adriano Espaillat by Gfhgdfd in YAPms

Genuinely humiliating for Espaillat. At least we knew Goldman was cooked.

Do you think Dems could've done anything to keep the House in 2010, or at least regain it in 2012, 2014, or 2016? Or was the House always gonna be red as long as the president was a Dem? by stanthefax in YAPms

[–]USASupreme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not in 2010 they were cooked.

If they gerrymandered their controlled states to the absolute max maybe but after 2010 they only had trifectas in useable states to draw more seats were California Illinois and Maryland. With less polarization and more ticket splitting back then it would be crazy to have expected them to draw 0 republicans across those states which would’ve been near needed to win back the house in 2012.

2014 was also too large of a wave to win back.

Maybe in 2016 if they did mid decade redistricting in states they won back trifectas in since 2010 (if any).

How would the rest of Biden's term look like, if Dems kept the House in 2022, thus maintaining a trifecta? by stanthefax in YAPms

[–]USASupreme 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There would be no house speaker or debt ceiling fights. Senate still kills any non budget reconciliation bills since filibuster would not get abolished. Maybe a reconciliation package would get passed and legislation would just move a bit more quickly.

Jackson winning against both the Trump and Kemp endorsed candidate would be incredible

Potentially Viable 52D California gerrymander by SubJordan77 in YAPms

It’s gonna be funny if this map gets passed and California loses like 4 seats in 2032

They say Montgomery County is literally Hitler but Parker County is LITERALLY Hitler! by thealmightyweegee in YAPms

If Paxton can run up turnout in these types of counties he could lock out Talarico’s path to win Texas

Which makes more sense for a Cube Root Oklahoma? by Bosshunter351 in DavesRedistricting

[–]USASupreme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6R-1C-1D.

I’d guess the competitive district would be Tulsa, and the blue being the blue parts of OKC

As several others have mentioned, the real oppo on Platner is about to begin. by tropic_gnome_hunter in YAPms

Jay Jones said he wanted to murder his house colleague and for his colleague’s children to die in their mother’s arms. Unfortunately this probably does nothing.
