Wins, Warnings, Wisdom
Democrats crushed Election Night, and Emily and the Sams break down the biggest wins, from Mamdani’s historic New York victory to major flips in Virginia, New Jersey, and beyond. They delve into why margins were so large, how national politics influenced local races, and what the data nerds were tracking in real-time.
The crew also tackles the controversial “Deciding to Win” memo, debating whether Democrats should ever “moderate” on issues like immigration, trans rights, or identity. Spoiler: authenticity energizes voters more than consultant-speak.
Then it’s Prop 50, SCOTUS drama to come, and what these races mean for 2026 and 2028. Finally, they check in on Washington State results, Everett’s tight mayoral race, Seattle’s mixed bag, and Snohomish County heartbreak, with a bit of messy local tea.
Short version: Big wins, big feelings, and the big question: How should Democrats actually win?
