Wow indeed.

No South Carolina?!

but Mississippi? Indiana? VERY HOPEFUL INDEED.

No mandate

poop at the crowd???

>>>>

Not impressed. Unfortunately I have to make a trip to Idaho because my husband has family who lives there he wants to see again someday.

that actually get counted.

His favorability rating was 46% in Oct 2020

I think it would need to be much lower to make a dent in vote.

I got my hopes up over the thought that we could be getting bluer.

I'm still pretty optimistic about November, though.

Sometimes, when I am still in that transition zone between sleep and waking, I allow myself to dream of the vindication dance I will indulge in if we can turn both Houses of Congress, then 2 years later, boot the Orange Fungus out of the People's White House and start in on a long list of delightful changes to give America back to the People!!!

to other candidates at least.

In no order I would say that the following 10 states are the worst to live in, all things added in:

ND
WV
MS
SD
AL
OK
AR
NE
KS
IN

finally, a bonus pick, based off geography:

AK (beautiful, but fuck that climate and isolation, that is not my cuppa, and I live in Sweden, ffs, but Alaska is so much colder, darker, and isolated, Sweden is FAR less extreme, plus so much better politically, and FAR more cosmopolitan)

It really don't mean anything, since Trump's approval rating was under 50% in Texas just prior to the 2020 and 2024 election.

Yeah, they voted for him.

The approval rating would need to be much lower to translate to votes.

Obama's approval rating was dismal and he was re-elected. Approval ratings are more or less "bitch and moan".....

the skinny margin fckface won over Harris in 2024.

Certainly NO mandate!

I went to the Bluesky post but it doesn’t cite any sources.

That keeps the map at about 50/50.

I am not surprised.

States with low wages and lousy infrastructure.

Just how ICE will be deployed “only to strategically selected blue districts” in November?

So many to choose from…

I live in Nashville and can report to you that Nashville, Davidson County, is quite well off. Much like Russia where Moscow is one of the wealthiest cities in the world while the rest of the country is close to third world. Nashville has the county music honky tonk face (I'm not a fan) while at the same time is the home of Vanderbilt University, one of the best universities in the country. Both faces are evident, and Davidson County is quite wealthy. Williamson County, just south of Nashville, is one of the ten wealthiest Counties in the country.

Let me guess, you have some s'hole spots in your territory also.

The Vanderbilt campus is gorgeous!

And you have restaurants & entertainment venues.

Sadly for me, I'm stuck in Memphis burbs until things stabelize. I'm about 35 mi ENE of Memphis.

Nashville is the other blue dot in this red hellhole state.

Not at all a fan of country music either. If I never heard another whining song about torn screen doors & flat tires, I'd be fine with that. Lol (I avoid it like the plague.)

All that said, repukes have a stranglehold on state govt., the Constitution is meaningless here, & I detest this state for it & especially this region which is a huge intellectual vacuum. Hence, their propensity to cut off their own noses to spite their faces by voting R. 😓

Many people in West Virginia have hellishly long commutes to get to a job with decent wages. Also to get to a medical appointment or a hospital. The same is probably true in Montana and the Dakotas. What the hell happened to South Dakota anyway? McGovern was from there.

nt

in Tennessee! Will go back there in a heartbeat

I wonder if that will translate to either voting blue (so they can eat) or not voting. I also question why the media didn’t ask Trump - what happened to those 3.3 million people.

will result in the state offices of red or purple states being reliably blue because (ha! ha!)
it's hard to cheat when the whole state votes as a block.
This happens in North Carolina.
It makes for interesting and sometimes confounding politics.

Dems.

I am so tired of these unattributed posts. This information is useless without a cited source.

is sucky
But in not the areas with higher educational levels, like the major cities and college towns.
With a stronger Dem Party, I bet we could break this rw stranglehold based on the Orange Cockwomble alone. Need the will
