The "far right": "Jews will not replace us."
The "far left": "Everyone deserves health care."
Centrists: "These, to me, are the same."

Remember when Florida Republicans paid a random guy with the same last name as the Democrat to run in a Senate race to confuse voters? Then the Democrat lost by 32 votes?
Someone went to jail for that but nobody blocked the election results.

The effect of a lot of political media is preventing people from voting for what they want and instead encouraging them to play armchair strategist
#MichiganSenate
Undecided voter in Michigan says he is voting for Mike Rogers because he doesn’t want Abdul El-Sayed to win by a lot
“I have this hope that the outcome in Michigan will be that Benson wins by eight points, El-Sayed wins by two or three, and perhaps the future of the Democratic Party won't go down the tubes the way it did for the Republicans.”

"If its proponents’ objectives include empowering marginalized voices and minor parties, then increasing the costs while reducing the time to organize and campaign seems particularly unwise."

It's honestly shocking that it gets no attention that Deaton is a confessed rapist.

Two weeks from Election Day and still zero reporting from any news outlets on this.
A major party Senate candidate had a sexual relationship with a 15 year old—as a full grown adult—and wrote about it in his own memoir. #mapoli

This is how the candidates are listed on Alaska's ballots. It's clearly marked, which one is the GOP candidate and which one is just a guy
NEW: DOJ is suing to prevent Alaska from certifying its election results until the state investigates whether the other "Dan Sullivan" on the ballot created "voter confusion" to the detriment of incumbent GOP Sen. Dan Sullivan.

The English language already has a term for when a Harvard professor and a group of private equity executives concoct an idea behind closed doors. That term is financial crisis.
Because of traveling across the state in ways that outstrip my ability to walk, I have taken on the new campaign tactic of "text-banking on the commuter rail."
"....Look at what the top-two system has produced in California and Washington: vote-splitting lockouts, perverse incentives to game the primary, and pressure on candidates without big money to drop out."

MA, vote YES On 4 because it is appalling that we aren't on this list already.

Genuinely would've been smart for her but she is committed to the MAGA project and is working tirelessly to see it implemented

See how she connected it to shared values. See how she framed it in a way favorable to herself and trans people simultaneously. See how she didn't spend 10 minutes clearing her throat over sports
Trans voter to @AOC: Trans people in America feel like they've been abandoned by the Democratic Party, that we are a losing issue, that it's not worth defending us. What do you say to that?
AOC:
Why did the founder of Tinder donate to Question 3, the campaign to bring California-style top-two "jungle" primaries, to Massachusetts?
I have a few ideas.
Remember, Massachusetts: swipe left on Question 3.
