Something to ponder : what will be the impact of social media fragmentation on the next US elections (and not just US) indeed,
Twitter has been the backbone of US elections since at least 2008, even more since then. What’s for 2024?

I once saw the perfect description of why #US #elections are so screwed up:

"We've got 4 #political parties shoved into 2, and the HMFIC* of both parties agree on the destination but argue in the car about the route to take, when we're gonna stop to pee, and how to dispose of the bodies."

“Giving statehouses [state legislatures] unfettered power when they aren't tied back to the people is precisely the nightmare the Founders feared.

And here's the problem...it's exactly what's happening...”

SCOTUS "agreement to hear Moore v. Harper... isn’t just bad news for efforts to control gerrymandering.

The Court’s right-wing supermajority is poised to let state lawmakers overturn voters’ choice in presidential elections."

"The price of oil has fallen so dramatically since the election last week, it is now cheaper than it was before Russia invaded Ukraine.

Price stayed high right up until literally the day when it wasn’t politically helpful anymore and now it’s plummeting."

So the senate is completely reelected every 2 years!?
How insane is that? #uselections

The Democrats are happy with the results of the midterms, though I think they shouldn't be. The stalemate from 2020 stays in place. The supreme court will keep allowing more cruelty and lawlessness in red states. And there is nothing the Democrats can do about it. Even if the Democrats still manage to win the house, they will run up against the filibuster which Manchin and Sinema refuse to reform.
