HOLY SHIT:

North Carolina Democrats just overcame gerrymandering and flipped the state House, ending 16 years of Republican legislative dominance.

This has enormous implications for gerrymandering and voting rights
VICTORY: The North Carolina House has flipped for the first time in 16 years! Congratulations to the lawmakers in this new majority who will head to Raleigh to continue their work to improve the lives of all North Carolinians!

gerrymandered to death and still almost overcame

People overcame gerrymandering, intimidation, and billionaire-funded efforts to buy these elections to deliver those outcomes. People beat Elon Musk to do that.

OVERCAME A GERRYMANDER
BREAKING: Democrat Kathy Castor has WON reelection in Florida's 14th Congressional District, surviving a Republican gerrymander designed to flip her seat red.

I said this on @nativelandpod.bsky.social but I'll repeat it here: A dangerous narrative is going to be "the GOP gerrymandering didn't work."

NO. It worked GREAT. We just OVERCAME it. But we'd have even MORE seats, and different candidates could have won those seats, without the gerryamndering.

The fact that another Muslim American man overcame HERCULEAN Islamophobia and WON affirms the shift of the left. The pendulum is swinging back.

Mamdani was an early indicator of what was to come.
An El Sayed win will affirm the shift on the left.

Democratic Rep. Kathy Castor holds Florida's 14th District, NBC projects. GOP radically gerrymandered it into seat Trump would have won 55-44, but she overcame it to win.

BREAKING: James Talarico just won his Texas Senate race.

The Democrat focused on fighting corruption, his faith, and winning power for working people in Washington.

He also overcame hundreds of millions being spent against him, including $150 million from Elon Musk alone.

he's also including Elon Musk alongside Trump as explicitly-named enemies we overcame; I think that's notable

I hate when the media tells a feel-good story about a Black person and it's always "they overcame the odds" and the odds are just racism from white people.

one thing about this vote shift is that it's utterly crucial that there's serious work now for protecting and expanding voting rights instead of either the usual "welp! they overcame suppression now, they'll do that for us forever" or "give up and don't even talk about it anymore after failing once"

New Hampshire Democrats overcame Republican gerrymandering to flip both legislative chambers for the first time since 2018.

They will be able to replace the Republican secretary of state with a Democrat
BREAKING: Democrats just FLIPPED the New Hampshire House and Senate blue, establishing full legislative control for Democrats!

Let’s be clear: Texas didn’t just elect James Talarico and Gina Hinojosa; they flipped the state house, overcame Trump’s gerrymandered maps, and redefined the future of Texas.

You saw it across the map last night: Democrats are taking back power in the South.

Just a little reminder about another thing Democrats overcame.

People believe all kinds of things, like Bernie Sanders is a Democrat. 😂 With establishment real Democrats like me, once you lie, it's all over but the shoutin'. Once you let me know you hate me, I treat you like raw chicken.

whaaaaaat? The fighter who overcame enormous tragedy from her childhood beat the guy who has absolutely no character or integrity?

Overcame a cold and a very warm bed to drop off the baby at daycare and run up the numbers at the polls. Please clap.

Dems winning the House is a HUGE deal. They overcame mid-decade redistricting, massive financial disadvantages and serious threats of voter intimidation. That check on Trump is major. The power of the purse runs through Speaker Jeffries. Subpoena power. BIG

All the fucking doomer influencers out there owe me a beer.

And you owe your audiences way better. No the military was not used to stop the elections, ballots were not seized. The GOP did not cheat themselves into a win.

The people overcame gerrymandering and billionaire $$ to win the day.

I'm glad they overcame their addiction.
