Roe portends loss of other popular federal protections. If SCOTUS continues to March to its’ own “originalist” path, that will continue to push voters to progressive candidates.

Respectfully do not agree. The only Dem to win in Florida is Maxwell Alexander Frost, a 25 yr old Gen Z’er. He is rubbing his hands in anticipation and ready to put some stodgies in place. He was elected because he is one of few young representatives of the Gen Zers on any ballot.
I believe our young people saved Democracy yesterday. I can not be prouder of them. And those of us that raised them up.
Yes, he won in a DISTRICT election. So long as there is the Florida panhandle, statewide is going to be "a bridge too far" until something happens to the Republicans, self-inflicted.
I have family in the western panhandle, Matt Gaetz's district. The people there are bats**t crazy, as are the people in "Trump country" on the two lane back roads north of Orlando. That Republicans won the races that they did just goes to show you can't make this s**t up and sadly, there is no dumbass vaccine. Monday's coming; work for the 2024 starts then. Fix the damn messaging Dems. We have nothing to be ashamed of, the screw up in NY redistricting not withstanding. Thanks, TC, for the military history comparison. It gives me some hope, which has been in short supply.
Exactly correct. Looking at a lot of vids from young people after voting, their “look” has flown them under the radar. They are truly a force. I am so happy about it.
I agree, I think though what mobilized them is: 1. Fall of Roe V Wade, and the possibility SCOTUS will do that for more protections. Their #2? George Floyd.
These were the Gen Z issues I saw that got my 20 year old child and their friends off the couch and in the voting booth.
Paul Pelosi scared anyone who wanted to believe that 1/6 was a fluke.
They're adding - "all those crazy people saying that Drag Queens are child predators but not priests aren't and those wanting to take away medical care from trans individuals. That's fucked, mom."
Two things happened:
1. Fall of Roe V Wade
2. Paul Pelosi.

Also, Gen Z only looks distracted and disengaged.

Agree. And it will be self inflicted. Starting at local levels. Especially school boards.

Re-read her line Christine. They only *look* distracted and disengaged (but they aren't). Which you agree with.

They are paying attention. I like how they approach a fight.
