I'm from Oklahoma. We have the 50th best education system in the country, and it fucking shows.

  • Over here in Arkansas, I'm starting to think we are tied with ya'll for dead last. I'm not really surprised because Arkansans have a long running tradition of voting against their own interests. But, re-electing Tom Cotton? Seriously?! The man has the personality of a malevolent potato. Even MAGA Republican voters don't like him. But they'll happily vote for him because he has an "R" next to his name. Or because they're fucking bigots. Or both.

    I'm right there with you. I am pleasantly shocked and surprised at how many more votes for Democrats we had this time, though! It was far closer than I expected it to be in a lot of races here. I keep my expectations very low for this unfortunate state and it's population, lol.

    Oh, this race made me very hopeful for 2030. No counties voted for Harris in '24, but Munson won OKC, Tulsa, and Norman by huge margins, and even Stillwater went with her this year. Overall, the state shifted left by at least 20 points. I can only hope the left keeps the momentum going and that Stephanie Bice gets fired in '28.
