President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Happy Halloween!

 

Go east of the Cascades and it's all red, with maybe a very little purple in Spokane.

 

And a splash of lavender in Boise and Missoula, but then blood red until MPLS/SP.

 

The statewide offices in Washington (senator, governor, attorney general, etc.) are pretty much a done deal, thankfully, due to the west side voters.

What’s interesting here in the Evergreen State are four statewide ballot referendums that a rich conservative dude who moved here from California got on the ballot by spending millions of his own money.

These are attempts to overturn the state’s carbon tax on businesses, the switch away from natural gas to electric heat pumps in new construction and other laws passed by the Legislature and signed/championed by Gov. Jay Inslee. Hopefully all four will fail, but the save-money-not-the-environment vibe is strong among lots of Washington voters.

 

I have an aunt with polio. She was never in an iron lung, but she had rods in her back and a halo screwed onto her head. Grandpa didn't get her and her twin brother vaccinated. The anti-vax folks can suck my dick.

 

What a miserable contempt for democracy

A Florida school board candidate lost his race. DeSantis appointed him to the board anyway

 

LeBron has entered the fray

 

Lazer focus

 

Tens of millions of our fellow citizens are focused on their own petty grievances every waking moment of their days. Trump's like an icon for them, the validation of their unpleasant personalities.

 

The Great Projector.
