Midterms Megathread

Cause otherwise midterms discussion will be scattered around a bunch of separate Culture War thread posts. And it's nice to have more off-the-cuff rapid reactions in a dedicated megathread.

The first thing I've noticed so far: if the exit polls are correct, Americans are very pessimistic about AI.

And what self-reflection exactly should happen if you can take the vote counts from a previous election for every county in states from Maine to Mississippi, subtract 15%, and accurately predict this year’s vote results?

It seems to me that putting last election’s results into Excel and applying a formula should never predict election results this accurately.

What's more likely, that thousands of different precincts across America, many of them in deep red rural counties, conspired to elect Democrats, or that an LLM-slop article from the Gateway Pundit is bullshit?

But it's clear that Democrats should just treat post-election conspiracy theories as background noise. The right have apparently decided they're incapable of losing elections, even with sky high consumer prices and disastrous foreign wars.
