As a native of Washington and I live in south (7 months and I’m home bound 🥹) right now for family stuff. FL has just completely crapped on the average person. The neighbor states just reflect that as well. It’s insane that people come here and pay similar housing prices to Spokane or even Seattle on like 50% the wages. So many of my new neighbors can only live here because they work remotely for a blue state company that pays worth a damn.

I miss home so much. Especially after Ian. That was the worst experience in my life.

I only just moved here from Wisconsin a few months back, and it's a breath of fresh air in every sense. While my cost of living has gone up a little, my quality of living has skyrocketed, and I earn a lot more than I did before moving. My observation has been that social responsibility is a big thing here, and WA is all the better because of it. It truly is amazing.

That as well as while we all know they are paid by the Russians and other state actors the only solid proof of Russian payments are from the super rich with political connections and now we get into what kind of political donations are okay and not and no politicians want to open that box on campaign and vacation funds any laws would stop if they kick up that storm

He hasn't conceded, because he thinks he is going to find over 4,600 votes from the 6000 votes that need verified. Since Marie is getting over 50% of the votes it means she'll still be ahead by over 5000 when those 6000 are vetted. Kent is done. He is a conspiracy whackadoo that even a large portion of Republicans here in SW don't like him.

The AP was 100% correct on their 2020 calls. They have 4000 reporters on the ground checking in with vote counts, and they use the math of how many votes are left and where and previous voting tendencies for things like mail-in votes or overall political leanings (like say, if DC actually got their own representative, they’re not going to flip from 90% Democrat to 51% Republican in 2 years… that’s extreme, but that’s the idea). They call it when it’s very unlikely to change.
