Pennsylvania wants the title of "dumbest state in the country," don't they?

Well they have dead voters voting why not a dead representative too?

This is called the Spoiler Effect and it's why nobody should vote third party until we get rid of First Past the Post elections.

 

Full disclosure, I have voted third party in the past. It was dumb. I won't do it again in a FPTP election.

I’ve voted for 3rd party candidates (in fact, I just did for my House rep) as a kind of protest when everyone knows the race is not competitive. But I agree - if the race is truly competitive, don’t throw away your vote.

Regardless of political affiliation, what’s happening in Arizona is unacceptable. 

If it truly takes until Friday to know who won .. hopefully it’s Lake .. and she takes a machete to their voting procedures moving forward. 
 

Even Georgia and Pennsylvania got their results in quickly this time.

The leadership of the NY Dem party should be fired into the sun.

 

While they were hampered by the prohibition on gerrymandering, their underperformance is inexcusable.

 

On the other hand, if the GOP gets it's way in Moore v. Harper, they can just redraw the lines so that every House district has enough of NYC in it to clean sweep the entire delegation.

"Up to the states" but not up to a woman and her doctor says everything you need to know about this issue

 

 

Not it doesn't.   If you can't relate to both sides of the issue you have no critical thinking.

I think GA is going for that with Walker actually.

Abortion is, easily, the most nuanced topic in the American electorate … which, of course, means our two major parties have taken the most extreme positions on the issue. 
 

R’s can flip this issue on its head by acknowledging Americans do not want full bans, and agree to limitations. 
 

As long as there are vocal leaders in the party floating/implementing full bans.. even if only in the reddest of red states.. R’s will struggle on messaging here in northern swing states like PA, MI, WI etc

 

Whoever the R nominee is should be prepared to have a clear, concise policy view on this issue.  One that acknowledges states rights and the view of having legal access to a point.  Otherwise it will be defined for them and become a political weakness.  Not one they can’t overcome, but it will be hammered home by their opponents and via statewide initiatives on the ballot to drive turnout.

“We in America have some of the cleanest air and cleanest water of anybody in the world,” Walker begins at about the 24 mark in the video of his speech. Under the Green New Deal, he said, the U.S would spend “millions of billions of dollars cleaning our good air up. … Since we don’t control the air, our good air decided to float over to China’s bad air so when China gets our good air, their bad air got to move. So it moves over to our good air space. Then now we got to clean that back up, while they’re messing ours up.”

“So what we’re doing is just spending money,” he continued. “Until these other countries can get on board and clean what they got up, it ain’t going to help us to start cleaning our stuff up. We’re already doing it the right way.”

Pennsylvania has them beat, easily.  A stroke victim and a dead guy.

Who got into the script for "Idiocracy 2"?

America deserves Fetterman vs Walker oral arguments in the Senate.

Trump is ruining your party.  Better get on the DeSantamonious train. 

[May Day 10]

The Republicans are in a tough spot.

 

It's clear they need to move on from Trump.  He is a liability, turns off people in his own party, and energizes the opposition.  They have a firebrand with desantis who has a lot of momentum rolling downhill.

 

Trump's ego and mental deficiencies will never allow for desantis (or anyone else but especially desantis, a protégé in a lot of ways).  He will attack desantis, the party, the primary process on his way out.  He will sabotage the republican chances in 2024.  The Frankenstein monster they created with Trump and his loyal base will finally turn on their master and start smashing the lab.

 

It will probably gift the dems the white house, I can still see a R congress in 24 though.  In the long run it'll be a good thing.  Get the crazies out in a new party, R can move toward the middle.  The D party would need to split at some point because a center-ish republican party would likely dominate.

Walker is not winning the runoff. 0.0% chance.
