Don't be so sure on this, Maricopa is trying fuckery but its the only one. Even Pima didn't bother. And it was forced to announce when it will be done and very soon will have to announce how many votes it has.

In short, fuckery is afoot but it's unclear if Maricopa can actually do anything. Also, the activist judge who shot down the extension may have opened a novel judicial route by which ists all done over again. Hilariously.

So with three different routes to de-fuckify it... its basically a giant blob of grey on what will happen.
It sounds like it fits with your theory of just lack of resources to call on. They can do limited fuckery, but it's clumsy and obvious. PA and NY were always pipe dreams, but useful in diverting resources towards would should have been easy and safe seats. Ohio is just confirming it's not really a swing state any more and never doubt the utter retardation of PA and Michiganders, but the people I know in the mitten are pretty sick of the Witch themselves.

A lot of people on the Right have this all-or-nothing mindset that they need to get rid of. The Left didn't grab everything all at once, they took it one inch at a time, as long as they were advancing it was good. Dooming because we make minor gains is stupid. Gains are gains.

It's also solidified that the Dems are actually the party of broke brains.

Michigan should have been more competitive than it was but was deprived of resources by the GOPe.

PA is fucked and at this point, I am not sure if it even is fortification doing it. Sure some of it but the issues are so systemic and everywhere I am -actually- inclined more towards gross incompetence on every level. OZ was the best of the worst, a cast of terrible candidates and Trump picked the one that had the shiniest shit.

WI, OH, and FL are now going to varying degrees of outright red. Evers hanged on most likely, but very narrowly and in a state that heavily dislikes change. OH and FL were just schlackings.
 
I tried to explain that there s alot of bad generational blood and give someone a check wont get ride of that and makes it look like your bribing them.
sort of dem problems in a nutshell, right there
From DeSantis' victory speech:

As someone that loves Dead Poets Society, it’s just amazing how this is the one famous Hollywood comedian that said something that aged very well in the 21st century.
dude loved his robot cartoons
Don't half of the MAGA people wave Gasden flags?
yeah The Big Tent (tm) basically already absorbed all but the most batshit of libertarians a while back

how interesting the more developed states are voting blue where ohio is red
 
Who is John Galt? Who are you? Cars off the track. Trains off the track. A country off the track. Who is John Galt?

Stop giving to the government your production. Stop giving to the government you insight. Stop giving to the government your life.
You can be John Galt.

Ayn Rand was dragged for her unwillingness to embrace the destruction of the individual because of her knowledge of the sacrifice to the collective.

What will you be?

You get to choose between being a resident of Kensington Ave or a person. An entrepreneur. An innovator. A person. Or you can take the train destined to derail on the tracks of the perverse politician.

You are not entitled to the labor of others nor are others entitled to your labor or thought or belief.

Be a person.

Shrug.

If AZ gets unfucked, then I will be relatively happy with this election cycle. Ohio and Florida becoming a non-swinging solid red is good.

My problem is, what it has always been, where is the electoral pathway in 2024? PA might as well be dead to the Republicans, if Oz can't win against a literally brain-damaged opponent, then give up getting statewide ever again. MI and WI are still fucky as well.

Either way, the establishmentarian leadership needs to go. They have fought their own party tooth and nail, and have as a result turned a Red Tsunami into a Red Splash.

Our worst city is still better than Detroit and while out politicians are corrupt, at least their brains work. The real answer is that Ohio's cities aren't big enough to out vote the suburban and rural areas and our blue collar people realized that the Dems have nothing to offer them.

Also Ohio was never going to elect a senator who wrote books about yoga. Or the mayor of Dayton. Cranley was the better choice, but Ohio Dems are 'tarded.

WI, OH, and FL are now going to varying degrees of outright red. Evers hanged on most likely, but very narrowly and in a state that heavily dislikes change. OH and FL were just schlackings.
Ohio's more Trump country than anything else. The northern cities have never really recovered from NAFTA, but there's still a shit ton of manufacturing throughout the state. The state Dems are too stupid to have anything to offer the blue collar guys, the state GOP is smart enough to not step on it's own dick, and the blue collar guys are smart enough to know who they had it better under.

Fetterman won.

The man who can't even string a sentence together won.

What the fuck is wrong with that state?
PA can't do roads right, I think Fetterman is just slightly below normal for them.

It'll be through Georgia, Arizona, and Wisconsin. All else being equal those three states will (just barely) put a Republican over the top:

This is further evidence why Trump is the better pick for 2024, DeSantis isn't going to be able to snatch Wisconsin.
 
third party votes suck in the short term, but they are important for determining the direction of major parties. Libertarian voters have done a lot to change the republican party. Legal weed and constitutional carry in red states would not have been republican platforms if it weren't for those Libertarian spoilers
 
The lesson from tonight is that Trump can't win in 2024. Trumpism can win, but not the man himself. DeSantis and Kemp, neither of them Trump guys, overperformed. Three of Trump's senate candidates are going to fall, performing near identically to how he did in those respective states in 2020.
There ain't no gettin' offa this train we on

Hello Matt Walsh. Didn't know you had an account here.

Whitepill/cope: it will be slightly harder for the Dems to blame the incoming economic depression on Republicans holding things up in Congress.
