    Pretty funny how Cruz accused Beto of going by "Beto" to pretend he is someone he is not... meanwhile "Ted" is actually Rafael... a Hispanic man born in a different country.

    did you guys see that a dead brothel owner won in nevada rofl


    https://www.newyorker.com/news/dispatch/the-ghost-of-dennis-hof-haunts-the-nevada-midterms
    "He spent the evening before he died celebrating his seventy-second birthday with a political rally at the Pahrump Nugget, the ritziest hotel and casino in town, where he was joined by Grover Norquist and Joe Arpaio. After the rally, Hof retired to the Love Ranch to continue the festivities with friends, including the adult-film actor Ron Jeremy and the reality-TV personality Flavor Flav. "

    what a guest list

    mixed bag last nite, but definitely some major strides for dems. winnin a gerrymandered huose - eating trumps lunch in the suburbs - is huge. governors houses in maine, kansas, wisconsin, etc and additional state house gains cant be overlooked either. nor can ballot questions that passed: florida, the medicaid expansions, etc.

    even the senate: flipping nevada, keeping X midwest working class states trump won in 2016. no question we took some hits here, and that hurts af (arizona?????????????????? florida? missouri? ugh) but it was a cartoonishly bad circumstance. relatively, could have been worse (if only a little!!). if i were trump id feel chastened (confirming judges and sessions replacement aside)

    Glad to see Pete Sessions (a now former rep in my state; no relation to Jeff) lost. Mf blocked all cannabis reform legislation during his tenure. Good riddance.

    Yeah, having unaccountable corporate overlords is a much better way of doing things lol. Worked out great in 2008 when regulatory capture sunk the world economy.

    Actually, capitalism is bad. It's really that simple. Look at the carbon we're dumping into the atmosphere in search of profit. We're commodified our own extinction.
