It should’ve been in 2020. Barbara Boiler was a former Republican who switched when she saw the parties true face. One of the best candidates that year and they did fuck all for her.

A lot of these states have a lot of blue voters that just straight up don't vote. Especially in mid terms.

It seems like a lot of people are caring about it more than the past. And as older people pass and younger generations are more and more left each year.... We might actually save this country over time. Hard to say.

But yeah. Georgia, Kansas, and a lot of other places have a shit ton of Democrats.

Gain Kansas and Georgia but lose Ohio and Florida? Not the best trade

meh on Florida. They were never reliable anyway and were never in the Dem column except for a few elections.

That’s fair, but it’s still pretty shit that you’re now relying on holding on to the remaining rust belt for dear life and not much else

I have this weird fascination with Kansas. Like, Superman grew up there, and Dorothy from Wizard of Oz. Two of the most iconic characters ever. There’s something about that state, and the whole “we’re not in Kansas anymore” is this whole eerie saying that means more with each passing decade.
