Mamdani won in NYC in a fucking landslide. By over 200,000 more votes than Cuomo
Democrats held onto the Governors seat in NJ
Virginia just elected its first female Governor, flipping the seat from Republican to Democrat. And it doesnt stop there. The Lt. Governor AND Attorney General also flipped from Republican to Democrat.
Pennsylvania voted to retain all 3 Supreme Court judges in its state preserving the Democrats 5-2 Majority
Maine elected to NOT pass a law that would force people to "prove citizenship" before voting. Which is good because only citizens can vote anyway and passing a law like that would only serve to allow discrimination of POC.
Colorado voted to tax the wealthy higher to fund free school meals AND use the excess from that to fund SNAP
AND Prop 40 is looking like its going to pass with flying colours.
It wasnt all wins. Texas passed a draconian Parents rights law that allows them even more control over their children's lives - likely in an anti-trans bid and they passed their own version of the whole "prove citizenship" thing.
BUT LOOK!! LOOK AT ALL THESE WINS!!!
THE RESISTANCE IS THERE AND ITS LOUD!!! THIS COULD BE JUST A TASTE OF WHAT WE CAN DO COME MID-TERMS. If we all collectively keep up the energy and VOTE LIKE HELL we can make a Blue Wave happen and SERIOUSLY kneecap this attempt at an Authoritarian Regime!
I know that we get a lot of bad news and we get it every day. But the good is there! The regime is failing left right and centre and this can be the first glimpse at what we can do!
Dont let them win in your head! Dont let them silence you into complacency!! We have the momentum! Let's ride it!
