Democrats could misinterpret the Red Trickle

[kyzr]

Because they have to deal with Republicans who, if given the chance, would repeal both Social Security and Medicare

I'm waiting to see either party put a reasonable Bill up to fix SS & Medicare, and dare the other party to stop it.

One thing I have learned over the years is POlls are useless. I remember the members here did a better job at what the election results would be. If I ran for office I would do research but never count on Polls.

Just as important election as any....

Adrian Fontes' Arizona win keeps a self-described Oath Keeper at bay

Fontes’ victory is sure to draw some small sigh of relief from those who were worried about American elections.

Election-denier OathKeeper shut out of the AZ Sec State office. Dodged a bullet, there. Lost by 5.6 points.

Well despite the supposed rampant cheating by the Democrats, for the 2nd straight election (at least) the GOP has picked up seats in the House. For likely the 4th election where Pelosi was either speaker or Majority Leader, the GOP has made gains. The Democrats are unlikely to learn anything from this fact. I mean...how many dismal showings does your party have to have before the rank and file vote you out of the leadership positions?

I think one reason the Dems did well was because they passed some bills...the basic essential function of the Congress. These days, clearing that low hurdle is enough to stand in for actual effective governance and was missing from the previous administration. Will that be enough to sustain going forward? No...and it shouldn't be. We're a great nation. One can only hope that our elected leaders would want to keep that going.

Your cheating masters are undoing those gains right now in the West. Question is: are they so dumb and emboldened to cheat enough to take the House?

I say yes

And I think they should. We deserve it. Your people especially.

 

[SweetSue92]

A system that rewards and incentivizes the worst behaviors of its participants.

We have to change the system under which these people operate.

Nah Mac. You love the Dems and have sided with them since Trump broke you.

Now they will cheat in the West until they get the House too. Good.

Enjoy Biden 2.0. You voted for him and deserve him in spades.

Readers:

Note how few Democrats say "That would be awesome, and I agree"

They don't want it either. They need a Republican House as a foil, just like they need Trump as a foil.

Because their ideas suck and are destroying the nation

 

[scruffy]

The Courts, the election officials, the FBI, the DoJ, and the MSM all looked Trump's claims of election fraud and found NOTHING. It's not the MSM who is lying to you here.

Gee, a bunch of ignorant laymen looking at a pro security issue and they can't figure it out?

WHAT PART OF THIS IS SURPRISING TO YOU, dumbass ignorant leftard fool?

Damn you leftards are stupid!

This tells me that you have no critical thinking abilities whatsoever.

The voters disagree with you apparently.

 

[scruffy]

Projecting what the Republicans have been doing.

Revenge is Trump's middle name. And it is becoming the middle name of some in the Republican Party who want to waist their power and time on Impeach Biden.

Democrats need to be punished severely for what they thought they could get away with

Good.

Maybe they'll get good and hard what they think they want.

Or

Maybe they're living in abject fear their cheating will be exposed.

See: Arizona going to court to stop hand counts of ballots. Now why would you do that?

 

[scruffy]

This was my problem with Trump in 2016.
He picked the Republican Party because he knew Hillary was the "chosen one" in the machine. Not because he suddenly became Republican.
He knew after Obama abandoned the working class, and Hillary running as Obama 2.0 - he would run under a patriotic message and have a chance.
Today - Trump is his own party. He has trashed every popular Republican there is. He has trashed Fox News, and pretty much every other conservative news for not praising him enough this election.
He is no Republican. He is King Trump. You are either 100% unquestioningly faithful of his worshipfulness - or you are the enemy. PERIOD.
I have no room for such a self serving, destructive force.

lol

Too late!

He's already in your tent, you let him in.

And if you kick him out, he'll just go third party and steal half your vote. Thereby ensuring a Democrat win.

Oops.

Here, let's do this in the abstract, maybe we can make some headway. You have an employee, that you laid off. Now you discover that he was key to your operation, and it just so happens he wants his job back. Only trouble with this guy is, he's a bully and half the team doesn't like him. How do you handle it?

Very much like yourself, I have no idea what you're talking about. I guess we'll see what happens in the future. Until then...try to cheer up....you sound more miserable than usual.

 

[scruffy]

What would you like to see the Republican's in the house do, and how exactly would they implement that?

Defund the entire Executive Branch.

 

[scruffy]

Their usage of the term "elites" came directly from talk radio

< snicker >

 

[scruffy]

Deep inside their cowardly little black souls, the lickspittles of the Republican party know their only salvation is for Merrick Garland to arrest Donald Trump.

No. Allowing that will cost the party half its membership on the spot

Come on, Mac, I've been calling you Vichy Mac for years... it's why you have me on ignore. That and I keep spanking you every time you are fool enough to engage me. So I can see why you stopped.



Actually, they are just in tune on economic issues.

Imagine, if you would, a 25 year old woman who just graduated from college and is doing her first job, walking around with $65,000 in Student Loan Debt. She's in a relationship with a guy she isn't entirely sure is good father material yet. Then she has a pregnancy scare!

The Republican will lecture her sternly that she shouldn't have taken on that debt and she shouldn't be having sex outside of marriage.

The Democrat will actually try to help her with that debt and make sure she has easy access to family planning.

^ that's fine, but the point is to separate social programs that involve "individualized" attention from "federal govt that is designed for uniform policies for all states and people treated the same"

It becomes politically conflicted to want both "mandated federal policy for everyone" yet demand "free choice and right to individual beliefs and needs" which vary.

The liberals are mixing and abusing "federal" govt with "individual rights and needs" that belong to states to manage democratically with the people more directly.

Because liberals aren't organizing this care at the local levels, the tendency has grown to overreliance on "federal govt" to provide it by "redistributing" resources by taxation (instead of fixing these problems locally to be self sufficient and sustainable). This forced "redistribution" punishes the people for generating more income and rewards people for staying poor and relying on govt (even my progressive socialist friends have argued against the welfare system that punishes people for earning more and becoming independent where it's backwards) instead of empowering people locally to own and manage their own resources and programs so they don't rely on welfare handouts.
