Antidote to #hopium We must face reality, folks. And that reality is geographic. Any victory imaginable is razor thin, and thanks to swing voters, perpetually reversible. Make change permanent and long term by relocating out of you unwinnable Red State and into a Swing State.

From the work of @taniel.bsky.social this chart shows all the flips in special elections for 2025 The Blue states of Virginia and New Jersey aside, it shows only a little bit of #hopium, especially in Mississippi. On the other hand, the 62 races that didn't flip show the power of gerrymandering.

So the good news is The Blue Wall will have a colder year, per this forecast. Maybe no need for AC much! Great time to get acclimated! The bad news is the desert is gonna bake. No really, that's not good. Shouldn't live there

The amazing thing is how closely Mamdani's policies will mirror any other Democrat's policies. Why are so many 'progressives' afraid to read about Democratic Party Policy? I guess being 'cool' is more important. If you want more Mamdanis vote in a Swing State. or STFU

This is the most misleading special election of the year: Blue District. Holiday Time. 10% turnout! "fending off the GOP supermajority" means that the rest of the Iowa Statehouse is completely MAGA. This victory was the power of gerrymandering. www.iowapublicradio.org/political-ne...

Absolutely agree. You cannot afford NOT to make your Blue vote as powerful as possible. And that means voting in a Swing State or District! The most powerful vote for 2026 is Lansing, Michigan. If you're voting Blue in one of the States listed in the next post, it will not change anything.

The federal minimum wage is shameful, and so are many state minimums. Generally higher in Blue States and the Great Lakes, with indefensible exceptions in PA and WI. Th The South generally is disgraceful, with NO minimum in 5-6 of them. Slavery lives! www.epi.org/minimum-wage...

MAGA has everyone mapped, trapped, and modeled in AI to the greatest extent possible. To beat it, move. or it will beat you. Guaranteed. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

"Non-MAGA Republicans" vote MAGA. The self delusion in this country may be worse than the 'bothsiderism"

For those of you who don't understand the level of incel support for the MAGA Regime. Not one 2024 vote will change in 2026 or 2028.

Just want to point out here that Colorado is one of the few States that have turned from Red to Blue as a result of predominantly Blue voter relocation. It does happen, but it won't happen to Texas, Florida, or Tennessee. Where it needs to happen is MI, GA, PA, WI, and NC. Consider it.

Being a winnable Red State on the Great Lakes, #Ohio voters passed a Reproductive Rights amendment to its constitution. At the same time they legalized #marijuana. Both have been under constant attack and fuckery by the illegal MAGA legislature. So Ohio gets busy. share.google/kTs2CMfK9GC7...

This what folks who don't have much, and leave everything behind are willing to risk to better their lives. Americans expect existing Swing State voters to do the work for them. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/29/o...

Sure ACA enrollees like me are getting screwed But most Americans are indentured servants, (to put it nicely) and their healthcare is 'only' going up an average of 6-7% It's worth it to employers to keep the plantation obedient. MAGA knows this. www.cbsnews.com/news/health-...

I wonder if Trump calling it "Me-kraine" might help Zelenskyy

"Moving" is too low on this list, but doing so can help one lose weight

Plenty of space for the building of small bungalow style housing over vast swaths of the Great Lakes urban centers. Urban starter homes in cities are the answer. Trouble is suburban size expectations. Oh, and racism. finance.yahoo.com/news/peter-t...

This is a waste of money. The best trick "rural america" played on the political media is the idea that they were suffering. Trump has the power to direct all of our public money towards them and has done so with corporate farming bailouts as just one example. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

The perfect solution is for King Trump to issue a decree for thousands and thousands of starter home bungalows to be built in all the space devastated in our great cities. Someone should suggest this to him, and let him take credit.

The criminals running the country have no concerns as long as everyone either votes where they did last time, or relocates along with current trends. To send them to prison will require Blue voters leaving their unwinnable Red States and moving to Swing States. They're not up for it.

Some holiday recommended reading. Susie Wiles knows that MAGA's hold on power is secure. The reason is voter geography. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

MAGA's war on the EU will be the New Year's leading story.

If you live and vote in #Michigan, you have the power to do this. If you live in Texas or Florida you might as well flush your Blue vote down the toilet.

No, young Americans. We have two parties. One wins and the other loses. Your only hope of changing that lies with the Democratic Party. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/23/w...

Those billionaire tax breaks need funds! Better win the next few elections. And to do that you need to win competitive States and Districts. Are you voting in one? www.nytimes.com/live/2025/12...

Any way you slice it, MAGA holding at 40% And because of where we vote, they're enjoying this for midterms. Geography Matters.

The economic collapse isn't happening. Biden's economy is still strong and folks are spending money despite prices. Americans don't know anything about suffering. They just complain about shit. Only strategic relocation will save liberal democracy. www.cnbc.com/2025/12/23/u...

Here's one way to get an affordable house in a powerful Swing State in one of its coolest cities. Where are the kids willing to do the work? How is Pittsburgh short on housing with 20,000 vacant homes? share.google/Rsi1qcfR9Zkc...

This is reality regarding the Senate. It's never easy taking the Senate since it's designed to be an undemocratic institution, and all the States are poorly considered, arbitrary lines on the map. These are the seats Democrats can win. Are you voting in one? If not, why not?

So tired of the language of astonishment that accompanies these features. MAGA wants 'surplus humanity' dead so that they stop breathing the air of the wealthy. What is so difficult about recognizing this? www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/h...

"When you're King they let you do what you want." Western Europe will be attacked at some point.

This is the stupidness that MAGA can count on.

They're coming for women and LGBT You have two elections to stop them. Make your Blue vote count by leaving your unwinnable Red State and relocating to a Swing State. America's new top health diplomat has strong opinions on abortion and gender : Goats and Soda : NPR share.google/PB47VHEIBWJR...

Just a general reminder for all critics who scold me on the costs of moving: Mass migration is the only thing that really changes politics. That's why fascists want you to stay put. They got you controlled already. All mass migrations in history are done by poor folks with few if any resources.

The liberal echo chamber does not understand that this MAGA Gold. Nothing is more important to the MAGA voter.

You're damn right MAGA will steal what they can! Not only do Swing States need to be won, they need to be won by a good margin. You know, like MAGA wins #Texas and #Florida every election, and by an increasing margin.

This is what will keep Trump's approval over 40%

Why would any transgender family stay in #Texas or #Florida? When #Pennsylvania and #Michigan offer excellent care? And a chance to flip the White House in 2028. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/h...

More post theft. Since this is a common guilt-based attack on the Relocation Strategy I feel it's ok to share.

It makes absolutely no sense for any Blue voter to continue living in an unwinnable Red State. Especially women. You cannot afford NOT to move! Moving to a winnable Swing State will turn more States Blue. Why wouldn't you do that, Blue Dots?

A ceasefire in Ukraine is looking more tenable as Putin and his worldwide crime gang begin to realize that getting their money, ending sanctions, and getting Trump the Nobel Peace Prize is more important than Ukrainian territory. They want Trump in power forever. www.cnbc.com/2025/12/18/u...
