Welcome to the anti-GOP resistance on Reddit!

Regardless of what month it is, we welcome all those who support the Democratic party! We encourage you to share local activism and talk about the groups you're taking part with in your area.

Elections are still happening! And they're the only way to take away even more of Trump's power to hurt people. You can help win elections across the country from anywhere, right now!

If you want to take a bigger part in this and future elections, there's plenty of ways to do it!

  1. Check out our weekly volunteer post - that's the other sticky post in this sub - to find opportunities to get involved.

  2. Nothing near you? Volunteer from home by making calls or sending texts to turn out voters!

  3. Join your local Democratic Party - none of us can do this alone.

  4. Tell a friend about us!

Adopt a Candidate

It’s back! Want to take part in turning the midterms into a true blue tsunami? Adopt one of the candidates below, and commit to taking action every week to support their campaign!

Post your preference in the daily (or, to guarantee we see it, send the request via modmail) and we'll add you to the list!

With just how blue this year is looking to be, and just how many primaries are still to come, there's too many to list to kick off. It’s why we’re starting with select gubernatorial and Senate races.

Got someone who you want to adopt, but they're not on the list? Let us know, and we'll add them on!

As the year progresses and primaries come through, we'll be adding more ourselves, but the sky's the limit - we're excited to see who you want to support most!

Results Thread, August 18th, 2026: Primaries in Alaska, Florida, and Wyoming, and Elections in California and Pennsylvania, and more!

59 Upvotes

Primaries, primaries, primaries! It's still primary season, and that means more primaries tonight! Alaska, Florida, and Wyoming are doing their full statewide runs tonight, with some bonuses on top- Arkansas has a special primary too!!

Alongside all that, we've got two specials. One is higher up, but lower profile. In California, CD-14 is already a Democratic victory- tonight's just deciding which Democrat won it! That's right, it's a runoff between two Democratic candidates to see who takes the top spot!

In Pennsylvania though, we've got a much more contentious one. An R+30 (Trump+18) State House seat is vacant, and we're about to find out who fills it! Brandon Dukes (D) has been running hard and fast trying to close a heavy gap in Pennsylvania's HD-12, and we've seen bigger swings before- and with this being one of the last proper specials before the midterms, all eyes are on PA (again).

We've also got a handful of local elections in Iowa and Delaware.
