Democrats, fuck yeah!
scenes from a very good night
holy shit! Democrats ran the fucking table!
they won the races they were supposed to win, they won the races that were supposed to be a tossup — and they even won the shit they weren’t supposed to win.
let’s take a look at some of the highlights.
the big three, of course, were Abigail Spanberger for Governor of Virginia, Zorhan Mamdani for Mayor of New York City, and Mikie Sherrill for Governor of New Jersey.
Spanberger totally fucking crushed her Republican opponent, Winsome Earle-Sears, winning by 15 points. Sherrill beat Jack Ciattarelli by 13 points, in a race that the worthless scribblers of the corporate-controlled press swore to us was going to be a nail-biter, too close to call. awesome prognosticating, scribblers.
and over in the Marxist-socialist-communist hellscape that is now New York City, Mamdani beat toxic sexpest Andrew Cuomo by 9 points.
really weird how Donny Convict’s last-minute endorsement of Cuomo failed to move the needle. maybe it has something to do with the fact that NYC has fucking loathed Donny for at least fifty years now.
this dude speaks for all of us.
“I’m happy that Mamdani won. But I won’t let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.”
can Chuck Schumer pretty-please go fuck himself, or at least write himself a strongly-worded letter?
“Q: It’s election day in NYC. Did you vote for Mamdani or Cuomo?
Schumer: ‘Look, I voted, and I look forward to working with the next mayor to help NYC.’”
you’re a real profile in cowardice, Chuck.
hey, can someone do a wellness check on Dersh?
and can we please, at long last, finally see the last of Andrew Cuomo? why did this repellent predator want to be mayor of NYC, anyway? was he that triggered by the presence of a Muslim in New York politics?
how is it that someone who had to resign their governorship in disgrace is then allowed to run for any other office?
seriously, good fucking riddance.
the passing of Prop 50 in California was a huge fucking win, allowing the Dem-controlled Legislature to draw new congressional maps for the next three election cycles.
am I right, Gavin Newsom?
this one’s also huge:
preserving the Democratic majority of Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court is going to go a long way towards preventing any Republican electoral fuckery in PA in 2026 and 2028.
in Illinois Michigan, Democrat Mary Sheffield became the first woman to be elected mayor of Detroit in the city’s 324-year history.
and Ghazala Hashmi became the first Muslim woman elected to statewide office in the US, after winning the race for Virginia Lieutenant Governor.
one huge story from yesterday is that Democrats picked up votes everyfuckingwhere.
look at the Virginia governor’s race. every county in VA — even the ones Spanberger didn’t win — shifted blue.
holy fuck, look at what Dems pulled off down in deep-red Georgia.
know when the last time one Democrat won a statewide election in Georgia, let alone two? twenty-five years ago.
here’s a delicious morsel of news. in Cincinnati, Couchfuck McGee’s half-brother Cory Bowman, who was running for mayor, got the shit landslided out of him.
do we also need to do a wellness check on the wingnut media? they seem to be going through some things right now.
are you feeling safe, New York Post? do you need to talk to a grownup, or a policeman?
pour one out for Fox News’ own Plankhead of the Airwaves, Sean Hannity.
boo fucking hoo, Sean.
the ‘fuck your feelings’ crowd sure seems to be having a lot of feelings right now.
stay classy, Laura.
MAGA is melting all the way down. you have to love a good Republican civil war, don’t you? right now it’s the total crazies vs the semi-crazies, and I am here for all of it.
don’t threaten us with a good time, Mark Cernovich.
let’s give Erick, the Son of Erick, credit for at least recognizing that Donny can’t ever run for president again — something that all the Chinese-made “Trump 2028” hats in the world can’t change.
the lesson in all this for Donny and his Republican enablers is that none of their fuckery is popular.
We the People don’t want masked and armed Gestapo thugs terrorizing our neighborhoods and teargassing our children. We the People don’t want incoherent economic policies that send prices ever upwards. We the People don’t want a broken government that works only for billionaires.
We the People don’t want an unhinged and deteriorating 34-count narcoleptic fart factory ruling over us. yesterday’s election results made that clear.
President Pudding Cup wasn’t on the ballot, but yesterday’s election was a referendum on his presidency — and the results were not pretty for him.
will Republicans learn anything from the drubbing they took yesterday? of course fucking not. expect them to double down on the lunacy — and the oppression. it’s all they know how to do.
we’ve got battles ahead of us that will need to be taken on, and won.
but for today, let’s congratulate ourselves. tomorrow we return to the fight.
here’s your daily reminder that I can be found on Blue Sky at this link.
this is going to be my closing message for the foreseeable future:
practice self-care. do what you need to do to keep sane. if that means you need to disengage with my daily posts for a while, I get it. this community of ours will still be here when you return.
to all the people who have signed on in the days since the election, welcome aboard. settle in as we all try to deal with the shitfuckery that’s ahead of us.
we are all in this together, and we are all here for each other.

does everyone know the story of the Mary Tyler Moore pool shot used at the top of this post?
https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/comments/1h2oq6z/this_trick_shot_by_mary_tyler_moore_was_actually/
"This trick shot by Mary Tyler Moore was actually made in one take. They had planned for a pool expert to make the shot after cutting away from showing Moore hitting the cue ball. But to everyone's surprise, she actually made the the shot."
this post was a lot more enjoyable to write than the one I wrote a year ago
