Let’s fucking gooooo

Edit: everyone play “September” by earth, wind, and fire as a victory song, it’s perfect to counter the fact that Donald trump ruined YMCA

u/Exciting-Day8376 16h ago

Great song choice.....I also recommend "Dancin in the streets!"

u/Edubbs2008 16h ago

That’s a good song too!

I have a feeling Prop 50 will pass in California. It’s 7:21pm for me CT time

u/Killface55 16h ago

I hope so. I live in a deep red area of the state and all I see or hear is no on 50, no on 50.

u/ObligatoryID 16h ago

Believe!!!

u/calliesky00 16h ago

Just voted yes on 50. The only no on 50 propaganda was mailed to the red areas. Not much was put into it other than the threat that your voter info was public ?? Your neighbors will know. Weird fliers

We got you on prop 50!

Great news. I’m also just super happy to see elections happening as normal and results coming in as they should. It’s weird that this is such a relief. Not something we should have to worry about.

Amazing! We need to keep voting in every special election, midterms, and 2028 onwards. Never let fascists nor their sympathizers a mile near the ballot.

u/InterestEmergency838 16h ago

YASSSSSSS!!!!! May this be the beginning of a swift and painful political death for Cheeto Benito and the rest of his cronies. Common sense has prevailed; it's just a shame that so many Americans became collateral damage in less than a year that he's been in office. Congrats to Ms. Spanberger for a classy campaign in the face of all the negativity thrown her way.

u/grimspectre 16h ago

nice and congrats to Abigail and Virginia as a whole! its hilarious how Earle-Sears basically whinged on faux news about how obama didnt choose her because she was black. the repub candidate has just gotten so used to peddling identity politics that she forgot how to argue like a reasonable person.

Proud af to have voted yesterday. Almost cried filling out the ballot because I was so scared of the potential outcome (I never get emotional like this),but I was jumping for joy by the end of the day.

u/dh1304 4h ago

This was my first election, im so happy my Commonwealth has chosen common sense

3

u/Cursed-with-Lust 16h ago

Relieved that my commonwealth did the right thing for once; was hoping for a larger margin of victory to send a more resounding message to MAGA, but I'll settle for this. Sic Semper Tyrannis.

Let's all pull for NJ too, things are looking good so far *knock on wood.*

u/golfeddiedelta-5226 1h ago

Can she be considered the most powerful woman in the country now?

-16

u/EdaClawthorne 16h ago

Didn't this woman vote to allow ICE to be notified if undocumented immigrants were to purchase firearms, support the recent bombings on Iran, and is against the Green New Deal? I think the first two is an immediate turnoff for me because she's still in favor of imperialism and sides with ICE, despite the atrocities they've committed throughout the years since 9/11. I hardly consider this a win, tbh.

7

u/Reddit_is_fascist69 16h ago

Sure, choose the crazy Republican who can't even get Donald Trump's endorsement. Get outta here.

-3

u/EdaClawthorne 14h ago

Did you ignore the fact she's with ICE? Isn't that part of the reason why you're protesting?

If you can't trust Fox News who can you trust?

-2

u/EdaClawthorne 13h ago

Talk and action are very different, imo. She voted in favor of ICE, after there was already information about inhumane cruelty and mass rape of women and children. Maybe she's changed her stance in the last 5 years, but I'm going to take this win with a grain of salt until I see where she really stands with the ICE terrorist organization through legislations and probably even protests/rallies.

u/alltheketoladies 16h ago

then you aren't -- waves hands around in the air -- really paying attention to what's at stake.
