Voters gave us a strong mandate. Let's use it to push bold, implementable ideas like MediKids. Guaranteed healthcare for our kids is a no brainer.

With Dems all but certain to prevail in Mississippi and Alaska, we're most likely looking at a 56D-44R Senate and a ~260D-175R House, which would be Dems' largest House majority since 1992.

If you're able to apply any political label to any political candidate to win an argument, maybe the labels don't mean so much...

The millennial generation is a generation of change. No matter the resistance from others, this change was inevitable. We’re older and smarter and hotter and just getting started
Boomers won the generational war, but Millennials can win the peace.

Angie Nixon didn’t win her Democratic primary because of a weak state party. Voters chose her over a candidate who outspent her 10 to 1. Also no one outside of the national media bubble saw her through the lens of “DSA,” which is part of the reason she beat back the GOP caricature of that label, and shows the limits of this sort of analysis. Actual people chose an actual person — let’s start there
Ezra Klein on the electoral performance of El-Sayed, Peggy Flanagan and Angie Nixon: Angie Nixon—I don't think there's any reason to look at the results and say it was a brilliant strategic move to run the DSA candidate in Florida. Sometimes people take statements about electoral performance as moral statements about the worth of a candidate or the ideas. That's crazy in my view.

Yesterday felt good for many reasons, but a big one is because, to me, it felt like the end of endless 2016. Something broke. And it didn’t fall neatly on ideological lines. People are not interested in factional score settling. It’s just not productive.
The future of the Democratic party is probably not this endless factional war—which turned out to be entirely irrelevant to yesterday's results, by the way

The Democrat factional fighting is a relic of 2016. This election points toward a new liberal fusionism, candidates who combine leftist economic populism with centrist pragmatism. Talarico and Ossoff offer a model on this. The factional stuff is old news, beltway chatter.
i think "moderates did better on tuesday" and "anti-rich vibes used to be identifiably 'left-wing' but they've become fairly normie in the last few years" are both accurate takes, altho i expect a lot of discourse warfare between these positions in the next few days

If current projections hold, Democrats will gain 8 Senate seats. For context, that is the same number of seats Republicans gained in the 1994 midterms. It’s a bigger Senate swing than Watergate (5 seats), 2006 (6 seats), and the Tea Party (6 seats).

We have been getting extremely clear signals essentially every two years for, what, two decades now that Americans are extremely frustrated with the country’s economic and political systems

It's not just Democrats winning: it's fresh, younger, more populist Dems. I really hope they become the face of the Party - now.

Early trend emerging here of Jackson over-performing Gideon and Collins running behind her 2020 performance In Kittery, Jackson is up 41 when Gideon finished up 24 In Hampden, outside Bangor, Collins is up by less than 8 where she won by over 20 last time

The whole argument that Zohran, AOC and the DSA left are going to send Democrats electoral future to the shadow realm probably deserves a lot more skepticism than it gets. Some real wacky people ran this cycle and Dems seems to be performing well. The idea that their presence dooms Dems elsewhere just isn’t that convincing.
