I swear these days I try like mad to avoid post Dem win election coverage bc these days a raft of progressives win... and the DNC will just trout out the fucking Hillary era Dems to claim the wins as a mandate for the most centrist voices in the party.

This is about the be the lease serious US election thread.
But combing through the results there's a lot of confirmed and shifts in US political power...
But like... by turn out... this shit wasn't a "Blue wave"... BLACK voters turned out in high numbers and voted consistently af for PROGRESSIVES when available and democrats in droves.
One of the clearest signals right now is a re-asserertion of the importance of the Black vote in America.
Now go tell that to MAGA so they croak on the news
Georgia is notable for lifting the number of Black voters who had skipped the previous election but turned out this year.
Meanwhile more white GA voters than usual simply didn't vote at all.

@nullagent They always do that. The role of centrist "leftists" is to prevent a mass movement. The Clintons are good at it, which is why they have been rewarded with wealth. See also Tony Blair in the UK and Felipe Gonzalez in Spain
A great clip from Marc Lamont Hill on the latest election news.
