@TonyStark Hopefully soon we'll have national DNC campaigns to make calls into rural areas of America to convince more of the silent donkeys and rhinos living quietly among the elephant overlords to vote and especially to run. My ballot had over a dozen uncontested races. 😢

@TonyStark I am stunned at how little press this is getting about PA. I’m running across a lot of people who don’t even know it happened. It’s a big deal.

@Sunspot @TonyStark MSNBC is covering it very well. I’m watching it being discussed at All In With Chris Hays. The Michigan Governor graphic shows Gretchen Whitmer at 54.5% and the red chick Tudor Dixon at 43.9%. The spread is in the double digits. Now Republicans are pointing fingers at each other for their election loses.

@GoldenShield @TonyStark I am talking specifically about Pennsylvania which I did say. I don’t watch Hayes anymore, but my instance administrator told me in another reply that he had it on and Hayes was covering Trump toots. I doubt he’d make that up but I’m glad he’s talking about something useful at some point. However, I did mention Penn. That’s not getting much or any.

@Sunspot @TonyStark Still not state house mention, but you did get Pennsylvania. All I've seen all week is Fetterman which is indeed very exciting and will protect the majority if we keep two of Arizona, Nevada, and Georgia, not even the held US House seats. Pramila Jayapal is on with Alex Wagner and just mentioned Pennsylvania. She didn't say specifically the state house, but said that one of the things she's inspired by, "states like Pennsylvania where people delivered for working people" about electing Fetterman. @GoldenShield

@MariaHill @Sunspot @TonyStark @GoldenShield just saw Sen. Kelly has been projected to win reelection! I’m ecstatic. He is a wonderful man, I’ve met him before he was a Senator( an astronaut at the time). Really just a nice guy. I’m so happy he has been re-elected.

@TheBatman @MariaHill @Sunspot @TonyStark @GoldenShield Senator Mark Kelly is a #ClimateHawk and a gun safety advocate. We need more astronauts in Congress and fewer asses, no disrespect meant to Democratic donkeys.

@TonyStark No one thought we’d do it including poli sci people and the Republicans we unseated. You know who thought we could? Turn PA Blue, Fair Districts PA, Sister Districts. The grassroots in PA and other states who believe in us. I wrote a fuckton of postcards to Democrats in PA with Republican representatives. Paid for cards and postage myself. Worth every penny.https://observer-reporter.com/news/localnews/local-political-analysts-shocked-as-democrats-flip-state-house/article_fd52f366-6065-11ed-932f-abe045c36d13.html
