8 thoughts on “Five takeaways from the 2023 election

  1. Another way to view the results: Democrats did well in Indiana’s larger cities and were competitive in populous suburbs. 42% in Carmel isn’t bad for a D. The same applies to Fishers. Who’d have thunk it not so long ago?

    Republicans will continue to prevail in gerrymandered state and federal legislative districts drawn by Republicans to favor Republicans.

    1. Biden won Carmel and Fishers. I’m glad Democrats are finally competing in those suburbs, but 42% isn’t something to celebrate. There are comparable suburbs in other metro areas around the country that have all turned blue. The Indiana Democratic Party has had horrible messaging since I was a child, and someone needs to fix it. They don’t have a consistent platform whatsoever.

    2. Your argument fails bc statewide races, most of them are close to 60-40 Republican. Mrvan and Carson could be gerrymandered out….is that what you want? Do it “wrong” and you lose both Dems. Would make me happy but probably not you!

  2. Shreve says one-party domination isn’t good for Indy? Was it good for Indy when Republicans used UniGov to railroad whatever they wished…until the tide shifted?

    He could’ve defaulted to a standard “good luck” and instead he went pure petty. Sad.

    1. Shreve here:
      I did wish the mayor good luck — and offered my help in my concession call to him on election night. I’ve known him for years.
      I don’t think he’d characterize my outreach as petty. I want what’s best for my hometown. Lot of us do.
      I wasn’t on the scene back in the UniGov transition.That was before my time, Rick.

  3. “…citizens go to their corners in ways that aren’t healthy…” Inside that quote, you just insulted responsible voters who made a choice other than you.

    In print it sounded petty, Mr. S. It invites the Unigov comparison, regardless of your age.

    I’m glad you offered your help. And maybe you told the reporter that. The story isn’t flattering.
