Ends justify the means, I guess.

Rare smart strategic play from the Dems, still think it was bullshit. Blame the republicans for turning over such a large part of their party to the deplorables. We'll in 18 months if they learned a lesson.

Killing MAGA; good for the country longterm, but prob bad dems, especially mods. Such self sacrifice should be applauded.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Millennials have always been late bloomers, many still haven’t even bought a house. Just give it time.

Fifteen minutes later, when the Kansas locker room opened its doors to the media, the Jayhawks were still crying. Literally, bawling. All of them. I've never seen anything like it, and I've seen devastated college locker rooms -- after losses in the Final Four, the national championship game -- ever

They're a fickle bunch.

Voters under 30 aren't millennials, assuming this is a response to the above post.

It wasn't but I think you can apply to that group if you want.  They won't stick with the dem party if inflation continues to be such a problem.

Wouldn't this make more sense to see the data from minority groups also split by college and no college?

they probably didn't have the sample size, but it'd be interesting.

good article on how inflation has impacted people.  it highlights how unusual it was that democrats held ground in 2022.  given the economic conditions republicans should have had a banner year.  speaks to how toxic their brand has become for much of the country.

Toyota has been run by some very smart mother fuckers for the last 30 years or so.

They're not. Ram makes trucks, Dodge makes sedans and SUVs. There are a couple of others that are owned by the same company and are model differentiators more than make. There is also an unlabeled make high on the lib side.
