Funny, I've been thinking about a scenario in which liberal cities stuck in red states declare independence from those states and request the protection of the federal government. The way things are going, I could see this happening in places like Miami or New Orleans.

While this scenario isn't likely, it does seem way more plausible to me than red cities separating from blue states. Hell, I can't even think of an example of a red city in a blue state.

I think we're still pretty far from those scenarios, people seem pretty happy with the status quo despite constant protests.

We're running the same two we ran last time and didnt learn much from it. Incumbents are pretty much sho-ins.

Theres a lot of wanting change at the top, which isnt going to happen without change at the local and state levels. I think people are wanting radical change without putting in the work themselves in their own communities.

People love to complain, but their actions show contentment.

Oh, is that what life was like before the 17th Amendment? We didn't agree on direct election of senators for a reason at the start. They were supposed to be elected by experienced legislators who could see through and support, or deny, the BS tricks employed by the senatorial campaign.

And now we have Kamala and Cornyn (and plenty of others). That control may have helped. People that voted for AOC apparently think she can solve their garbage issues, as a federal employee? Never quit not reading, lefties.
