Your occasional reminder that Illinois state law does not require congressional districts to be contiguous.
There is nothing stopping Democrats from adding in random parts of Chicago.
I see you've got a nice downstate district there. Would be a shame if added parts of Chicago to it.
Let's see how Mike Bost does when you throw in a chunk of Chicago into his district.

The fact that someone like Burgess Owens got a major party nomination and could very well get elected to Congress is a serious indictment of voters in this country.
I'm flattered but why do people spend so much time thinking about me? I'm really no one noteworthy.

This is of course is not serious analysis. You have to look at the partisanship of each district, candidate quality, fundraising, etc.
People like Waleed live in an echo chamber.
Ah yes, Max Rose lost because he wasn't liberal enough. If you believe that, you're a moron.

There's a number of strange people on here who do not believe I am disabled and that I have attempted to defraud social security. I am open about my disability because hidden disabilities exist and I want to use my platform to inform people.
Too often hidden disabilities are dismissed as not real. A disability does not have to be visible for it to be real.

If the election went to the House and Democrats picked up the Senate but not enough state delegations in the House, that would result in Trump being reelected but with a Democratic VP. The Senate would elect a Vice President.
How would that work? These days, the VP is associated with the Executive Branch. Divided government in the White House has never happened before.
What I mean is since the modern Vice Presidency was created. Back in the day, the VP had little to do with the President and wasn't part of the administration. These days they're an integral part.

Josh Stein slightly outran Roy Cooper in 2016 but the two of them had very different bases of support. Stein was largely dominant in eastern NC while Cooper was stronger in the suburbs, and particularly strong in Appalachia. Image
Part of that blue in Wake County happens to be the area where Stein lives.
