Remember, the people not cheating have to prevent every single instance of cheating, no matter how esoteric or crafty, or all future instances of cheating will be made systemic and they'll never win another election.

The people cheating only have to win once.

And for a followup blackpill, a lot of our systems are held together via the social contract, they work because we all agree to not fuck with them. The left has realized there's nothing other than honor (lol) or ethics (lol) keeping them from abusing systems in this way, so they do. All the time.

Most of us have already accepted the inevitable results of this election. At this point we're not even noticing the blackpills as we swallow them, we're just dry chugging them by the bucketload.

I know the country is divided and all, but I absolutely refuse to believe every election since 2000 has actually been a nearly 50/50 dead tie forcing ballot counting into the wee hours. I really do think they engineer a close game on purpose, or at least try to make it look like one, in order to put their thumb on the scale as needed.

Combination of it being "close" enabling rigging and "close" elections being better for the media. They sell ads, lots of ads, from both sides and from corporations, during election season.

Depends. The most well known Berettas (e.g. 92fs) not only have mechanical safeties, but when the hammer is down it's in double action mode where the trigger takes a very long and heavy pull to fire.

If they had one of the striker pistols (e.g. APX) it's no more or less safe than a Glock.

There's a lot of debate over the usefulness of a "safety". Ircc the original Beretta safety was a decocker, as most pistols have. The safety was added as part of the government requirement for a service pistol.

One of the funniest possible electoral outcomes would be if Trump lost Texas but still won the election through every swing state. It'd be 266 D to 272 R.

And if Trump does operation wetback 2.0, then Texas goes right back to being red again.

In this season of The Election I love the running gag of Biden taking the sails out of Kamala's campaign every chance he gets.
Him putting on a MAGA hat, him praising her for being a close part of the admin when she is desperatly trying to distance from it, and now ruin her girlboss moment by basically stating "The men already talked, sweetie" and he had nice things to say about DeSantis too.

I used to think it was senile induced gaffes, but now I'm on board he is doing it 100% intentionally train. I do kinda respect the subtle sabotage game he is playing. However, I will forever hate him for the not so subtle sabotage of America his has conducted for the last 4 years.

Cumlord cracking open a bear. It was talked about up thread but didn't see a clip posted.
Note she already sounds drunk (thhhhe lassst time I had beer wuzz..)

I wonder if she actually is drunk all the time, or is it just an unfortunate vocal tic to slur all the time?

Should Trump win and the GOP hold onto the House I want investigations into these hosts. If the DNC is buying influencers(ugh that word) they are most assuredly buying the likes of Colbert and probably his entire writing room.

Also this actually made me cringe and unquestionably hurt more than helped.

Faking a beer sip is not going to make people forget you sucked dick until you made it and are a Marxist.

The Doompillers in this thread fail to realize how completely incompetent and inept the Texas Democrat Party is with all of its corruption, and it is why the whole "Blue Texas" thing has been such a meme for years. They themselves are the biggest reason why Texas hasn't gone blue yet.

Counterpoint is that Rinos are even more corrupt. See Georgia.

Cruz is also incredibly weak and had Beto nipping at his heels 6 years ago too. Any other senator with his tenure would be secure in his seat but last 2 elections he had serious challenges and if he wins its going to be because Trump was on the ballot.

Cruz is a liability to the Right at this point. The only thing nice about him is that at least doesnt actively shit on his base. But he is Roberts/Barrett style speed limit conservative who conserves nothing.

Maybe the old bastard wants to bring her down and is just being slick about it. I mean I think they might rig it for her but he’s making harder for them to do it.
 
This will probably be the last election we see a fully red Texas.

Thanks to all the locust moving in from Commiefornia Texas will be a swing state in 2028. Fuck Austin is pretty much San Francisco 2.0 by this date so just imagine it in 4 more years.

I dunno, I think this might be the last hurrah for the GoP unless something radically changes. You can't import 26 million voters into Red areas and not expect shit to change.

I guess demographics really are destiny. I

You mean Californians? Yeah I've met them.

And no, those aren't all based conservative refugees from Commiefornistan. They're largely millenials, older zoomers, and remote job tech workers--all core liberal groups from CA. They're moving to places like Austin to retain the generic metropolitan lifestyle they enjoyed in CA. And they're bringing their politics with them; for all the problems they might complain about in California, you won't hear them rejecting leftism as a solution. They either want more leftism, or they're the "fiscally conservative but socially liberal" midwits who always vote against whoever gets called a racist.

I won't go so far as to say Texas is flipping this year, but again, there are multiple long term effects eroding the state's culture and its GOP majority.

Put it this way: Florida is considered a purple state, and Trump only won it by 3.3% in 2020. You might say it's been trending more Republican recently, but Texas was a 5.5% margin the same year and it's trending downward. At some point you will have to call it a toss-up.

Like I said demographics doesn’t change competency. The Texas Democrats are such an incompetent mess that they hurt themselves more than anything.

Beto absolutely got trounced in that senate race and his presidential campaign effectively killed his political career. Out of all the examples you go with that?

Infighting is for the primaries, not the general election. You shouldn't risk a 6 year Senate seat that'll be tough to win back, unless you hate winning and want to lose.
