So long as we get 52 Dems in the senate otherwise, my position is it will be hilarious if Nixon wins and Turek loses.

I voted for Bonta, but with nowhere near the enthusiasm I would have a couple of weeks ago.

I now associate Professional Centrists with Republicans who are embarrassed to admit they're Republicans.

I always think Paul Reickoff is a Democrat, then he starts talking and sounds like a Republican. Gets me every time.

Republicans' "tough solutions" always involved regular people getting less so their donors can leach more.

Anecdote: I always put my ballot in my local drop box, which is at the county registrar's offcie, but today they had a sign out that said come in and have your ballot accepted today! So I did. They said turnout is already way up. I'm in California.

Fatal flaw: “a big-hearted, truck-driving guy who follows hockey, not headlines" A guy who ignores reality in service to his comfy pleasures isn't a romance hero. There's a way to save it, but I don't believe a rightwinger could see that way. (maybe that's just me, but I doubt it)

Hear me out: The Valkyries win over the Aces and the Dream win over the Liberty = Strength in Numbers over Battle of the Stars = Woke over The Great Chain of Being (too obscure?). Sign of the times.

Really, that's the most stress in the voting experience for me - waiting for notice that my ballot was received and will be counted, fearing someone will look at my signature askance. California problems. 😊

Welp. I voted. Now I have to practice my signature before signing the envelope. I swear, every year it looks more and more like a crazed person scrawled it out. Who handwrites anymore? Plus I'm old.

I'm so equivocal on 40 I might toss a coin! For one thing, even if it's flawed, I'm a big fan of the electorate scaring the bejeezus out of the Powers That Be in things like this.

Also, making senators put their vote for or against on record will provide a good guide for who needs to be defeated/supported in the next election.

One day I looked out my window right when a huge white heron had scooped a koi out of my pond and I SAW the lump slide down its throat. It was so eerie!
