Everyone who made fun of Civil War (2024) because it had California and Texas on the same side
good thing SCOTUS has blessed political gerrymanders

Outstanding ad as well

Awesome. Was hoping that was on her to-do list

besides Hispanics breaking sharply for Dems, the big story is the depolarization of white voters in southern states who voted for Dems
bad policies, weirdo candidates and a stupid war in the middle east will do that
Some more bonkers stats here: white voters in the South aged 18-29 are now essentially voting like northern Democrats.
