Democrats do not have a majority in the Senate.

[bigrebnc1775]

Wrong. I haven't voted for a democrat since the 1970's. I vote straight GOP ticket regardless of how I register, I vote to defeat democrats and have never picked an independent because they almost never have a chance of winning. I just don't register as a republican anymore because the party is so weak and ineffectual with half of them defeating the other half most of the time. The best thing I can say of most republicans is that they are at least better than the democrats.

Just look at the last midterm, the GOP was set up to run the tables easy peazy, instead they got their asses handed to them embarrassingly, the RNC even pulled funding from several key races including backing Kari Lake and a few others and they all lost.

You first said you consider yourself an independent

I think they tend to be but I consider myself an independent, and I'm no democrat.

As I said do the math and you'll see where your's or any one who votes independent goes. To the democrats

 

[rightwinger]

Therefore a vote for an independent is a vote for a democrat.

Pretty much
Do you have a point?

So what? I just stopped registering as a Repub a few years back as I hope many others did so that the RNC sees their numbers drop and takes the hint.

Can't think of a single independent I ever wanted to vote for. Truth is that 80% of the GOP suck, 99.9% of the DNC sucks, and the other parties are a total waste of time because they tend to be liberals with zero chance of winning any race. Geesh, you read my posts, you should know that.

Just because I'm a devout CONSERVATIVE doesn't mean I have to like the GOP. My favorite republicans are people like Trump, Lake, Bobert, MTG and Vikek Ramaswamy.

For all those people who brag about being independents are nothing but democrat Biden supporters

Ok fine you don't vote independent your vote doesn't go to the democrats.

So?

 

[jackflash]

Yep those independents are just democrats
47 democrats
49 Republicans

Independents + RINOS = the same thing.

 

[candycorn]

Independent voters always support democrats

No, they are just anti-neanderthal...so they don’t like you bubba.

Yes they are democrats.

An independents vote goes to democrats. For those independent people who think they aren't supporting a democrat.

 

[bigrebnc1775]

So?

So? The con has been played on all those independent voters that's the SO.

As a matter of fact the Republicans have the majority. They have a 2 seat majority.

Now that is very interesting. I have never thought about that but you have made a very valid point. It shouldn't matter who you caucus with, Republicans have the majority.

Problem is those 4 vote with the Democrats on procedure, so the Dems have 51 votes to organize the Senate.

But it doesn't change the fact that there are 49 Republicans to dems 47, which gives Republicans the majority in the Senate.

You have no point to make here.

A plurality not a majority. You need 51 votes to organize the senate.

Well, if 49 is not a majority then 47 isn't a majority either.
