      Mark my fucking words: she is going to win.

      She’s definitely a Nikki Haley model politician. Textbook corporate shill who has staked her claim on a social wedge issue in order to win in a blood-red state.

      But it’s not 2010 anymore. Mace is still guilty of being a little too liberal and too female to pass muster with the far-right SC voting base. Josh Kimbrell and Ralph Norman are out there hosing their supporters down with the real fascist-brand kool-aid. These guys are talking about martial law, book burnings, and banning solar power, while making off-the-cuff jokes about rape and incest. Real red-meat issues.

      Nancy’s going to have to crank the crazy to 11 if she wants to secure the coveted “I have an AM receiver plugged directly into my brain so I never miss an episode of The Savage Nation show” vote.

    So we got one side of the equation filled out with Mamdani. Support for progressive Democrats way up in a democratic stronghold.

    This will test the other side of the coin: has support for fascist shit birds in shit bird strong holds dropped?

    Bold assumptions about the viability of mid-terms, but this will fill out the model and we should be able to put ROM’s on estimates once polling happens. She’s at least confident enough to announce.

      I suspect not. Populism and demand for change are popular. Fascists can just keep demanding harsher and harsher right wing bullshit.

    I hope enough of the american people wake up such that anyone associated with maga goes down hard and gives him a definitive sign that he has to stop stacking the deck with stupid.
