It’s part of how Republicans got such huge majorities in some places, by winning from the top to the bottom.

But a new, blue wave is finally washing over America. 😁

won seats overall.

is what we need -- fired up young people to start running for office.

The repubs have had a stranglehold on Nassau County forever.

simply that woman or that man with out the qualifier of color, etc. I mean nothing to you by this it's just that thought came to me when I read your reply

Peace



After all we all are Humans, no one better no one lesser. We're equals

The white republican male beat the African-American Democratic woman with 68% of the vote for the lone open sea on the city council. But, this is the town that raised Lee Atwater, so it's to be expected.

Just heard that 68% of the vote was only 434 votes.Which means only around 600 people in a town of 20,000 bothered to vote. Pathetic all around.

and instead frame it, on Trump and the entire Republican party.

For example:
"People have now realized that the Republican party is not interested in the good of the country but to serve the 1% and their personal agendas, and they are doing this with Trump as a decoy."

They all have to be exposed, the danger with isolating this to Trump is that once he is gone, and we all hope that is soon, the rest of those creeps will be exonerated to continue with their lies and their crappy agendas. Let us not forget that "the quiet one" (Pence) is as bad, or worst than Trump.

Pure lying scum in the same way.

We must do that.

Democrats will provide universal health care; we will never take it away from you.
Democrats demand that the rich pay their fair share; we will never take your money and give it to them.

and so on.

Blunt.

Direct.

this momentum needs to keep on building everywhere. He was just a wake up call for many to prove that every election matters, every vote counts

We now have a Democratic mayor-elect and one of my council members is now a Dem. Nazareth used to be repuke-dominated.

In Northampton County, PA, we ousted a repuke county exec who upped property taxes (which translates into higher rents for tenants) and we elected 4 out of a possible 5 Democratic county councilmembers, knocking off repuke incumbents.

Even in small town America, we've grown fed up with GOP corruption.

which elected 2 Democrats for the first time to their 5-member County Council (originally all-GOP).

PA has often kept local Rs in even when we voted D for President. That is slowly starting to change.

I live in Virginia.

The WaPo's election results this morning showed Gillespie getting 1,180,415 votes
It also showed Repub. candidate for Lt. Gov, Vogel, received 1,222,421

I.e., the Republican candidate for Lt. Gov. got 42,006 MORE VOTES than the Republican candidate for Governor!

And that carried through to the vote for the Republican candidate for State Attorney General (Adams), who pulled 30,646 MORE votes than Gillespie!

Odd things, elections.... Draw from that what you will.

He blanketed the airwaves in Northern Virginia with a hyper-racist, brazenly false ad campaign.

He enraged us.

We showed up.

We kicked him to the curb.

Last night will help fund raising.

Winning locally and state wide is more important than nationally right now. Need to be able to protect the vote and voting is handled by the states.

Bottom-up is key.
