US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

 

[The Last Stand]

If Kari Lake did really lose, then it will be somewhat of a shock. Out of all the female politicians in the Republican Party of today, she seemed a lot more adept and competent when one has to figure out how that same party managed to get women like Liz Cheney and Meghan McCain to just be graceful losers.

This country hates women in charge.

This country hates women in charge.

Nancy Pelosi would like to have a word with you. Along with Whitmer, Hochul, Sanders, etc.

America won't even have a hope to recover until enough people realize you can't vote out fraud, and you can't file subpoenas against people who control the system.

She's not in charge, the alcohol is. Not a woman, a slob.

This country hates women people that refuse to bend the knee to the establishment.

It's a mix of cheating and lack of support from other Republicans that resulted in Lake losing. That's the simple fact of the matter. If Republicans hadn't knee-capped themselves she could of won with enough support. That's why even now I don't think the democrat rigging elections is too much to overcome. We saw with Johnson in Wisconsin that sometimes the margins are just too much for cheating to be possible. If Republicans would stop fighting each other and come together, they could win despite the odds. Hopefully, these rough few years will toughen them up.

Kari Lake was never going to win no matter how many people voted for her.

Decision Desk just called it for CAL41, Ken Calvert will hold onto his seat, Republicans up to 217.

Only two days.
TWO. DAYS.

Never forget that Kari Lake was on record actually being one of the first noticeable politicians to call out the fact that Democrats were the original “election deniers”

Kari Lake Flips Script, Forces Reporters to See Who 'Election Deniers' Really Are

Arizona GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake was not having it when a reporter wanted her to address whether she is a 2020 election denier.

That’s how I knew she was really different and not just a show-off. I hope to see her in the future with more success. Her and Tulsi Gabbard are the kinds of people that can willingly change their minds and not just get in political office to enrich themselves.

Though, things could change and maybe I might be proven wrong. Either way, I just wish her luck in her future endeavors.

One of the most irritating parts of this that I encounter, aside from the reality that our country is flushed, is that disingenuous and/or retarded leftoids keep regurgitating the line "but surely if there was fraud, the Republicans wouldn't win anything! BUT WHAT ABOUT THE REPUBLICANS THAT WON?!"

Not all races are necessary or equally able to be frauded. They are playing it strategically and only expending their efforts in the necessary races at the necessary time. The House is not quite as important as the Senate in anything meaningful as we saw for the 2 last years Trump had, and they made sure to fraud the governorship races in almost all of the relevant states - Stacey Abrams really is just such a disgusting cow retard that even fraud can't help her win. But they set the board for the next election, which is what the right needs to catch onto, along with a few other points. They're not cheating "for this election" in the sense that they're committing fraud so they can necessarily just win 2022 - they're setting the board so they can pull another truly massive level of fraud in 2024.

And like I said earlier, this level of fraud doesn't just get cleanly voted out. I've never read a case of some political machine like this just getting defeated and saying "yeah we lost fair and square, your turn now."

That just leaves CAL45. Republicans probably take the House at this point. So we got that at least. Very narrow, but it is something.

Edit: Also, see the forest for the trees people. Control of the House means gridlock and at the very least things don't get much worse for two years. Two years of your life where you can be left the fuck alone. Politics is never about "saving the country"—it is about voting for the guy who is most likely to leave you alone and let you live your life.

Two years of gridlock which will be explicitly be used to blame the Republican party for any and all declines in the quality of life that occur concurrently, including what Biden and the Democrats have already inflicted.

 

[CarlosDanger]

It is because Republicans either have no balls or they are part of the uniparty and want the results they got. They know the cheating apparatus in Arizona and Nevada and have known about it for years yet the AZ governor, AG, and congress did nothing to stop it. Nationally McConnell and McCarthy did everything possible to kill MAGA Republicans at every turn. In Arizona in 2020, McConnell pumped 70+ million dollars into McSally's campaign, Masters got 9 million and they are both going to lose by about the same percentage. McCarthy was putting out ads in Washington saying Joe Kent was Hitler. John Gibbs won the primary in Michigan and no one from the NRCC called or even offered support for him. Chuck Schumer and national Democrats put over 60 million dollars into trying to defeat Marjorie Taylor Greene, a seat she won by 21 points.

Republicans don't deserve to have it easy so that works for me. Maybe they'll finally figure out sabotaging their own elections won't save them. The GOP is not our friend.

So it's business as usual.

It took nearly a full week to 'count' the votes in AZ. I cannot be convinced this was legitimate in any way.

If they're willing to fix an election against Trump then they'll be willing to fix an election against DeSantis.

So basically we're still at square one unless the local politicians reform their election laws.

Desantis beats trump in primary, wins presidential election to much surprise, gets in and...

it's Obama.

That's what they want happening. Because it'd demoralize the fuck out of people who voted for Trump. And it's probably what's going to happen in 2024.

There are powerful entities who have interests in DeSantis running in 2024, I won't be surprised if the media continues to barrage people with the idea of him running until they are convinced it would be a great idea for him to actually campaign.

There's already a lot of people who think it'd be a great idea, because apparently looking into the history of career politicians is just too much effort.

 

[Lodoss Warrior]

One-part polarization, one-part sabotage, two-parts machine politics: this is the explanation for Arizona.

That state, alongside Michigan and Pennsylvania, continue their shift towards blue that we observed in 2018; Florida, North Carolina, and Nevada continue their shift towards red. On the surface, this shows the populations of these states are increasingly becoming entrenched.

But demographics alone doesn't account for the McConnell's decision to withhold funding to critical races, McCarthy's primary cherry-picking, and even Trump's hesitance to go all-in on Biden+ districts with ads and out-reach. A party that does not unify around a single message cannot expect to win over independents.

Then there's the most overt and dangerous symptom: questionably run elections. You need only look at which states take weeks to count and which party, prior to the election, controlled the levers and laws around elections.

EDIT: More importantly, note which party's members took full advantage of the levers and laws around elections. Who fully utilized VBM, early-person voting, and mass collection of votes before ED?

2022 really is just 2020 after all. I fear we may no longer have true swings for the foreseeable future, until something breaks with either the parties or the people. We'll see.

Yep , Our guy & oops Our guy again .
then also watch all the lgtq & other policy be cleared out & back neutral with country.

 

[pwnest injun]

You know, I liked DeSantis until the obvious media shilling for him. Now I'm suspicious.

He was a congressman before he ran for governor. He voted twice against funding the border wall and voted for the TPP.

Something to consider.
