2022 Elections

why does (R) fight environmental regulation tooth and nail ?
Unions ?

Are those not issues where government decides who gets $$$$ and when ?

Because R doesn't want Americans paying $6 for gas and losing their power every other night like California

The problem is that the Rs cut taxes but don't reduce spending.

I agree. Republicans are ****.

Based on a cause that is far from settled science.

So you agree with me then. My point is that even the people who go to the polls are uninformed, so I’m less troubled by uninformed voters voting from home.

Sorry, misread your post.

If we get to 52 in Senate and 220+ in house is that a wave? No tsunami for sure. But wave? Maybe….

Not really? I wouldn’t like that outcome but turning AZ and GA blue isn’t exactly a major accomplishment. It would turn an embarrassing midterm into a normal one.

I said at the start I would be satisfied with a 52 seat and house flip situation. Always want more but this is a solid outcome. Getting close.

Lots of young professionals (those with college degrees) left their liberal ****hole for Florida.

The margin of victory and any stratification of the victory is a function of that. More power to Desantis as he attracted these people with his amazing policies/governance.

There is something to this. Florida has mostly been a tourism state for decades. But in the era of post-COVID, where so many still work from home, Florida seems to be gaining a lot of popularity with people who work from home in states with higher taxes.

What is more embarrassing?

Voting for a dead person or voting for a glass of water with a D on it?

Uninformed voters are becoming a national security risk. Suppression efforts need to be ramped up

I was just asking my wife if it's more embarrassing to vote for a dead person or is it more embarrassing to lose to one?

Voting for.

That is a conscious choice

Honestly it makes sense if you can’t get a viable replacement on the ballot in time and the voters don’t like the alternative. Voting for a write-in at that point just leads to the candidate you don’t want to elect winning and passing laws on your behalf. We’ve seen Republicans do it in the past as well, and it frankly is semi-reasonable.

To make it clear, if you had to choose between voting for a dead conservative or AOC, would you seriously vote for AOC?

People crunching the numbers will come to the correct conclusions on this.

Every single thing that was said about maricopa county last year about their ineptitude was 100% accurate. All of these issues were outlined in the forensic audit and it should have been addressed.

[thethe]

Any take criticizing that audit look pretty stupid right now.

I genuinely wonder what the justification is and why are only people on the right mad about it?

Where are the DEMOCRACY! defenders?

Goodness gracious, the NV and AZ races are tight. Both sides are continuously finding results that give them hope.

Nothing should be “found” at this time. Tabulating votes is not supposed to be difficult or time consuming.

Sure, but obviously “found” was used in the context of evaluation rather than literally finding, which after 2020 I feel compelled to clarify.
