I was 'on the left' since I was 13, up to around 18 or 19
ah
were you like full commie or?
although...I thought Gary Johnson was better than Obama or Romney in 2012, when I was only 17 turning 18
considered myself 'progressive' and thought 'democratic socialism' wasn't unreasonable from 14 to 17
pretty short phase, in retrospect
but even when I started to shift, I still held many lefty traits
At least you took pragmatism into account
yeah, I don't think I was ever full on communist, but I was curious about it
rather than the armchair marxists
I put pragmatism before ideology in all cases
I have shifted a bit around teen years as i imagine all do
@Deleted User so you're 23-24?
senate map is turning out pretty good
we flipping TN
or rather
holding TN
flipping MO
flipping FL
flipping IN
this would be such a maga map
not realistic in the slightest
but maga af
AZ prolly going d
nv is suprisingly close tho
and az is v similar to nv
I say NV goes blue (it could really go either way though tbh, RCP average favours Rosen by only 0.6%, AZ goes blue (we'll have to wait until the GOP primary is over to make a meaningful projection tbh), IN goes red (very red state, Donnelly has low favourables), FL goes red (Rick Scott is much more well-liked than Nelson and RCP avg. favours him), MO goes red (Hawley has better optics and the RCP avg favours him), ND goes red (RCP avg. favours Cramer rn), WV stays blue (Manchin is still well-liked as a usually conservative Democrat, esp. if he votes Kavanaugh. RCP average favours him significantly too), MT stays blue (very popular senator).
So I'd say it'll be 53-47.
We'll pick AL back up in 2021.
But it could easily be 55 also.
Getting 55 seats isn't completely improbable.
But I HIGHLY doubt we'll get any more than that.
I do not think we'll pick up Montana or West Virginia, the next most vulnerable states.
In a perfect world, we'd get 57-43.
We can use these "conservative" Democrats to our legislative advantage however.
I strongly believe Donnelly and Manchin will vote for Kavanaugh.
God forgive us if we allow Sinema to win the Arizona senate seat however.
a truly dark day.
The second sodomite in the Senate then I believe.
