No, thanks.

My company has a book club and she had the featured title last month. That's all I've got on the ol' Smarshmeister.

I did not read her book, but have generally enjoyed her articles. Did you read the book?

I think that poll reflects what would happen if Trump wasn't also on the ballot.

Man, does kansas have the morality to reject KKKobach yet again?

Kobach and Trump are basically the same ideologically. Trump will win, and I don't understand why a Trump supporter would not also support Kobach.

Anyone following the Democratic senate primary in Kentucky? It's the perfect illustration of the completely broken democratic party.
You have three candidates:
Amy McGrath, a moderate democrat who has the entire weight of party's establishment behind her, despite the fact that she voiced support for the Brett Kavanaugh appointment, lost a house race in '18, and has made a series of gaffes trying to go after Turtle boy. She said this when announcing her candidacy,
“Kentuckians voted for Donald Trump because they wanted to drain the swamp and lower prescription drug prices,” she said. “A lot of what has stood in the way of what Donald Trump promised is Senator McConnell.”
Then you have two seemingly controversy free candidates
Charles Booker, a black progressive from Louisville who supports M4A and the GND.
Mike Broihier who is a farmer who supports UBI and M4A. He is endorsed by Andrew Yang and Marianne Williamson who when endorsing him made it sound like she's endorsing him over Booker because Booker can't relate to rural Kentuckians.
Then there's Matt Jones, the dude who owns Kentucky Sports Radio, who apparently had a large groundswell from people in Kentucky to run but he didn't after McGrath got him fired from a TV job he had.
Their primary is at the end of the month, I can't find any polling data at all, just data for McGrath v. Mr. Turtle.

Once Mitch starts spending real money, she's screwed.
-
I have been loosely following it. I know people aren't super into Amy McGrath and says she's awful, and I don't know much about her. How did she get dude fired from the radio?
-
Following closely. ;)
Can't vote in the primary as I'm registered Republican. I will vote for Booker if he clears the primary and I have donated to his campaign. Hoping for a primary surprise. He's a great candidate in my opinion.
Amy is a trash candidate with her "How I'll work with Trump" line and noted vote for Kavanaugh. She's lining up to be a Dem version of Mitch and that's not what we need.
-
All in on Booker, then. Thinking of requesting a mail-in ballot or 5 to commit some of that tried and true Democrat voter fraud. :wink:
-
A thread on why Amy sucks. Also, Booker is on a roll. He's polling withing 7 points of her.

-
ipa, why don't you change your registration?
-
I should have but it's too late now.
-
thanks, i was just curious. it is interesting to me how people view their party identity vs their current alignment. to what extent they view any conflict between the two as temporary or view one as a more existential item than the other.
-
I registered Republican when I was 18. My world views have changed considerably in 30 years. I should switch parties as I see fit for primaries. I'm not beholden to either party.
-

yeah, i'm somewhat similar in that i've always registered with whichever party whose primaries i wanted to vote in and it has never meant anything to me. however, since 2016 i've grown increasingly well-aligned with democrats in a way that has never happened before.
oth, i think it would still be pretty easy for me to go back to registering as, and voting for, republicans in the future if the parties realign along different axes than they are currently.
-
I don't see why the government has any part in the process.
-
I am stunned that voting democrats allow party officials to run their party the way that they do. This has been a losing proposition over and over again. This shouldn't even be about moderate vs. progressive, the extent to which the DNCC and other like groups put the thumb on the scale takes the choice away from the people. Those fundraising stats are embarrassing. Unfortunately, the trumpism of the Republican party has distracted from the gigantic cluster eff the democratic party has become.
For the first time in the history of the country, there is no major party that is considered populist.
-

Is this true? I'm not a political history buff, but just in my lifetime before I paid much attention, I wouldn't have thought that any party would have been considered "populist" during the HW Bush / Clinton / Bush eras.
-
The Republican Party is very much the populist party in America.
-
Yeah, I wish we didn't have a populist choice.
-
i wish we had a non-populist choice.
i confess i don't know what mir is referencing though. that the dscc endorsed mcgrath?
-
If it were only an endorsement.
-
Ya. Definitely not an endorsement. Full on candidate placement.

Thoughts for what to do with the Republican primary for Pat Robert's senate seat?
1. Kobach - reactionary boot-licker
2. Marshall - anxious to prove that he is almost as skilled at boot-licking as Kobach but won't come across to moderates as a complete psycho in the general election
3. A former football player that I don't know anything about
I think I'm gonna vote #NeverKobach...
Is there a viable alternative to TrumpToady Tracey Mann in the Big First - either in the primary or general election?

I'm voting for Marshall and Clifford in those races. Kobach is more likely to lose in the general election than Marshall is, but it's going to be next to impossible for the democrats to win a senate seat with Trump on the ballot and Kobach would be a terrible senator for us.

I don't know much about him. It's kind of hard to know much about politicians at that level. I know some people who know him personally, though, and they all think he's great. His tv ad mentions that he stands with Trump, but every Kansas republican has an ad that says that.

Greenfield has a shitton of money, and Ernst has barely started campaigning. I really doubt Greenfield is going to win, she's an establishment moderate democrat and Ernst is very popular with Republicans in the state. Greenfield is going after Ernst for health care policy, but she herself hasn't endorsed any real changes to the status quo. Ernst has actually done a great job of walking the fine line of not embracing MAGA but keeping them just close enough. Ernst is much more popular with republicans than Greenfield is with democrats, and unlike Mr. Turtle, she doesn't have a trump problem.

Hamilton is running ads like crazy, but he won't win. If you're a republican, you want Marshall because he will win the statewide election. If you're a democrat, you want Kobach to win and hope for a repeat of two years ago.
History says Kansas won't elect a democrat to the senate (haven't in nearly 100 years). But, Kobach is Kobach...

Which is worse?
Kobach wins and he also wins General by slight margin when we were hoping the past would repeat itself?
or
Marshall wins Primary and easily wins General?
-
Kobach winning the general is worse. Best case is Kobach losing the general, which is possible, but not likely.

An attack add against Clifford popped up in my FB feed yesterday. Talking about how Clifford was soft on immigration and had allowed the paradise of SW Kansas to be overrun by dirty immigrants from Somalia. You should have seen the racist filth that popped up in the comments section. I was going to link to the add / post but I cannot find it. Maybe it has been taken down...

I want $8500 for all of my 20 children too
It’s all probably going to businesses and states, regardless of whether they need it or not.

They should subtract $2000 per child.

My tiny slice of my drive to work and driving/running around my neighborhood puts Bollier-Marshall signs at like 20 to 1. I fully understand that is just JoCo and the rest of the state is totally different but I could see it being within 5% when done. She does have a ton, and I mean a ton of money for a Senate race. I do think Marshall wins though, if it had been Kobach, I think she'd win.

pretty amazingly, loeffler has come back in this thing to make it competitive. in fact, she's had a decent lead in the last polls (there haven't been many), although i think i'd still bet on collins to win if i had to place a bet.
perhaps even more amazingly, dems are still splitting the vote, so it's technically possible that dems get shut out of the run off entirely, although i think it is almost certain that voters break for warnock at some point.

The Lincoln Protect has it though and I'm guessing we'll see it on ads the last three weeks of campaigning.

She's a clown. Didn't embrace trumpism until this summer as a plot to get reelected and it blew up in her face. She had a dumb motorcycle rally last weekend, we drove by it a couple of times, a lot of crackers having a superspreader event with no masks, same uterus l idiots who came to watch the cheeto on Wednesday.
She'll probably run in and win the primary for Grassley's senate seat in two years.

large contributions = contributions between $2800-$200. small contributions are less than $200.

$2800 is the contribution limit for donations to candidates. if you want to give a lot of money, you have to give it to a superpac. you can also give a medium-large amount of money to a party group (like the dscc or kansas republican party, for example)

They are more republican across the board, actually.
On Netflix there's a series called Explained, they have several subseries, the one you should watch is "Whose Vote Counts: Explained", that specific episode(there are 3 about this election) lays out, in detail, why that is. Very interesting.
-

not that i'm aware of.
with respect to 2020 senate vs presidential races in competitive states, there seem to be a fair share of both senate candidates that run ahead of the presidential and the reverse. for a while trump was running ahead of most 'pub senate candidates, but that has recently flipped. and for a while most dem senate candidates were running ahead of biden, but i think that is reversing too (because of undecideds, the relationships aren't just mirror images).

There are people, and I'm one of them, who feels politics are more of a zero sum game because of the importance of policy. For instance, potential differences on the voting rights act may not be as important in Utah or even for me in Iowa, as it is in Ohio or Georgia. I don't want to hold hands and sing kumbaya with someone who wants to limit the representation of minority communities.

It might be the biggest reason I think election of judges is a bad idea.
I don’t mind retention elections though. In that regard I’m definitely in the “no news is good news” camp and say let them keep judging on if I haven’t heard of them.

Most of the judges up in KS voted surprisingly non-shitty in the last few big cases to come up to them so I voted to retain all but one.

Experience is better, and it introduces more opportunities for corruption if there is constantly a new crop of judge candidates trying to get in good graces with the governor. There is a reason that, as political as the process is, federal lifetime appointment judges are still the most respected.

That GA runoff is almost certainly going Loeffler, right? Particularly if Biden wins, I'd imagine that helps turnout for the Republicans.

Per CNN, Maine has relatively few counties reporting.

I'm quite surprised the Senate results are what they are at this point. The predictions seemed way off. At one point they were talking minimum 5 flips in favor of Dems and that is just not going to happen.
-
Remember in Maine what you're seeing isn't what the actual vote is. If neither woman gets 50% which they almost certainly won't, they have to recount but the recount goes to ranked choice. I haven't seen any data indicating how that ranked choice will go but I have to think more Mainers hate the crap out of Collins than they do Gideon.

I've been thinking, the dems will end up controlling the Senate. I think they get to 49, maybe even 50. The dems in the Warnock/Loeffler race will end up receiving more votes than the republicans. I think Loeffler will be hurt by not having trump on the ballot in the runoff and Warnock is popular in Georgia. That gets the dems to 49 which is actually 51 because Bernie and Angus King are independents who caucus with Democrats. I also think that if Ossoff can manage to get enough late votes to get Perdue under 50%, Perdue will also slide a bit without trump in the runoff.
If they don't pick off either of these spots I think 50/50 will be enough to get things done because on certain issues I think they can sway Collins, Murkowski, Sasse, Toomey. The turtle won't nearly have the do nothing hammer he has wielded the last 6 years.

49 includes sanders and king.
right now they have 48, they would need to win both ga runoffs to get to 50. also still a longshot for the alaska candidate to win when all the mail in ballots are included (but he's down big now).
-
David Perdue has fallen under the 50 percent threshold to avoid a runoff in Georgia’s Senate race. He’s at 49.9997 percent — 141 votes short of winning outright with more votes still to be counted from Democratic areas.
Per NYT Reid Epstein. What a margin on that.
Forgot about the potential runoff on that :love:
The amount of money about to pour into GA is going to be ridiculous. I don't like the Dem's chances but it will be interesting to see if having Trump off the ballot helps or hurts them.

At some point, they are going to start believing he lost. They will still decorate their truck like he won, just like Texas A&M does with Kyle Field, but none of them will really believe it, and I think most of them aren't going to be that interested in going to a Trump rally.

It feels like Trump came close in this one, but really by late Tuesday it was apparent that the odds were not in his favor at all. Planning on winning the number of close states that their current strategy requires is like betting a parlay.

LOL, why is Abigail acting like this is her first election? Defunding the police was never part of any platform anywhere, it was an activist talking point that the pubs used against the dems, that crap happens every single election. I'm guessing the reason she was in a close election has less to do about what activists say and think and more about she's the type to blame others for her nearly losing.
These idiots making policy decisions based on what mean ads the super pacs will run is exactly why they, unlike republicans, have spent the last 30 years not getting dick done.

They've had two Republican senators and two Republican governors the last 40 years, that's the same as Massachusetts.
Everyone reading this board knows that Manchin is a centrist. I'm interested in what you consider "progressive legislation" though.

I'm sure he has. However I think he underestimates the ability of human politicians to communicate with other humans with some degree of nuance.

That's what AOC is doing. He's suggesting she has a moral obligation completely disown "defund the police" activists, which I'm not even sure are that prevalent right now.
yeah, i think his idea of a nuanced communication is more along the lines of "of course i don't want to defund the police, our communities need to be protected, we need effective and fair police forces, and by the way, most police officers are fair, but we also need to end this practice of xxxx and reform yyyy and hold law enforcement accountable for zzzz" that most dem pols used and not so much "let me explain to you idiots why defund doesn't mean defund".
that this slogan has already mostly died out on it's own in like four months should serve as evidence of how flawed it was.

Sys have you seen any Shor polling takes yet? Saw some graph on his Twitter but wasn't very explanatory.
i haven't seen him comment post election but before the election he was pushing the idea that 2016 polling error was due to non-response bias from low social trust individuals and that he didn't think weighting for education was sufficient to correct that bias.

My God, this is a reminder of why I hate democrats. There's a debate about a 31 year old democrat having actual beliefs that a lot of democrats her age has. She hasn't been jaded by Washington yet and these dumb fucks can't handle it.
Republicans embrace some wildly radical positions and own them. No one thinks the military should be funded at the levels in which we do. No one is in favor of the border separation policy. No one wants to lose their social security. No one wants federal minimum wage to sit at $7.25. Abolishing of Roe vs. Wade is a radical position. Removing protections for pre-existing conditions is a radical position. On and on and on. The problem with the democratic party is exactly what the republicans say it is. It's a party in which the decision makers are white, comfortable, elitist eggheads, completely out of touch with what people actually want. It's a party with no soul and that's exactly what they want, their policy is driven by pollsters and beltway policy wonks. I swear to god, I'll never vote for a bland, moderate, safe democrat ever ever again. If Stephen Miller ran for president and I had the ability to either tie or break a tie for the whole thing between him and a moderate dem, I'm writing in Fred Hampton Jr.
If this leads to 4 more years of Obama era leadership, I will spend the rest of my natural life hoping for the demise of the democratic party.

Maine is one of those places small enough where familiarity matters. What you can and have done for the state is much less important than waffling on national matters. I have no doubt that Collins is getting votes from democrats who didn't care about impeachment or supreme court nominees.

good article.
the answer to the question weigel poses is fairly self-evident. the good news is that it will easy and painless to stop associating with protests and activists when they are protesting while a democrat holds the white house; the incentives all align.

I really think the dems are risking looking like they are running from black people right back into the arms of the their safe, monied corporate mommies and daddies.
I listen to several black hosted political and pop culture podcasts and this sentiment is really starting take hold, leading to real apprehension with the democratic party and the Biden administration. I really don't think the democrats will actually listen though.
This is one that I listen to, it's very informative but entertaining, if you're interested. No policy wonks or eggheads with models, just two funny, but well read black men discussing the state of the democratic party and black people.

Aoc doesn’t work in healthcare. She’s volunteering healthcare workers to work for less money so that she can get votes. She has zero skin in the game and is benefitting from the work of others. She’s like a self-righteous version of Jeff bezos except she put a lot less work in to get where she’s at and you uphold her as some sort of humanitarian savior. It’s pathetic.
she doesn't work in the oil and gas industry either. shameful

Publicly calling hitler the fuhrer and saying the phrase "Jewish blood running through your blood" while trying to literally convert Jews and Muslims to Christianity is enough for me to brand him an antisemite at the very least. And that's giving him credit for naming his business SPQR Holdings, as the world's most unfortunate coincidences, although he didn't change the name.

brindisi was down like 28-29k votes before they counted the absentees. crazy.
the downside to this enjoyable drama is that the good voters of ny22 (and ia02) are probably going to be without representation in the house for like 3 months while they recount and file lawsuits and crap.

They just said today that they are going to certify IA-2 on Monday, they have to by law, but I don't know how that will even be possible. They have not done any hand recounts, the ones they have done have all been machine recounts.
-
Iowa 2 is down to 6 votes and is still slated for certification tomorrow, Rita Hart, the dems down 6 votes, has not filed a lawsuit yet, though I imagine it's coming. One county has an unaccounted for 131 vote discrepancy and another had a machine breakdown during the recount but the recount wasn't restarted.

It will be interesting to see how loyalty to Trump is used as an issue in Republican primaries in 2022 and 2024. May be one (among several) reasons that Republicans are largely silent on Trump's attempts to undermine the results of the election.

The dems backed all of these milquetoast moderates that they could use to raise a ton of money and not scare suburbanites, and it was by all accounts a failed experiment. In many cases, not Gideon obviously, they lost to non moderate, right wing, MAGA embracing republicans. Do you think the DNC learned anything about this strategy or will we be talking about them losing their very slim majority (If they're lucky) in two years?

No, I'm not, because you continue to oversimplify the conversation. I didn't say a damn thing about "not being liberal enough."

The only one I fell out of the margin of error on was M4A and I missed that one by almost 20%. Their polling data on that one doesn't match a few exit polls from the general. I'm guessing that public opinion hasn't shifted that much in a year, but maybe the pandemic has changed people's minds.
Personally I still favor a public option over M4A. M4A still doesn't address how we would deal with the destruction of a multi trillion dollar industry that employs tens, if not hundreds of thousand people.
-
The Medicare 4 all one was the only one I missed by a wide margin and it is stupid because the polling on that has been all over the place depending upon the wording.

I was high on border crossings and reparations, and way low on wealth tax. Everything else I was right on.

good summary of why people are becoming increasingly bullish on dem chances in ga. either republican voters are increasingly waiting until election day or they just aren't going to vote. turnout was about 5 m (1 m eday) in the ge, so turnout is way down compared to the ge on both sides.

Agreed Rick, using history as our guide, 2000/1, 2004/5, 2016/17, BidenVoters have shown again and again their ability to immediately acquiesce and accept the outcomes of elections.

That would be incorrect.
I'm pretty familiar with the governments in greater Atlanta, and I'm just very surprised given the amount of resources available they seem to have a really hard time counting ballots in a timely fashion. I find that very strange.
But like most local governments, there's an extreme amount of nepotism, favoritism and incompetency, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised.

Dax obviously having trouble with accepting today's result.
Did you see where I predicted he would?

Rick, Bidenvoters by a large percentage did not accept Bush x 2, and did not accept Trump. It simply played out over a more protracted period.
So acting like this is some sort of MAGA only situation is both laughable and stupid . . . but expected.

I'd bet on a split, if only because I think Loeffler is so unpalatable. Mildly shocked if pubs win both, really shocked if dems win both, and boy will maga lose their goddamn minds if that happens.
Revising to still think split, really shocked if pubs win both, mildly shocked if dems win both.
Welp, bring out the brooms

Wow Ossoff only down 500 votes.
I do not want either of the Republicans winning.

ATL counties has orders of magnitude more votes to count, yet they are slow and incompetent, don't you know

It's done, IMO, but stay riveted if it helps. Ossoff probably wins by ~25k when all is said and done. Wornack is going to end up winning easily

Your inability to comprehend the resources available to them in order to handle the situation is expected and yet still :lol:

IMO, (most) elected Pubs deserve this. While I prefer divided governance, perhaps this is what is best to cleanse the national palate of Trumpism. eff 'em, ban 'em, etc.

Any decent American who has observed politics since the general election should feel appalled at what has occurred and, to a feeble extent, is still occurring.

Agreed, all time record votes for one of the most corrupt politicians in modern U.S. political history.
It's very sad.

Why are you such a crybaby on the politics board? My God that was innocuous.

MSNBC has called the Warnock Loeffler race.

I'm speechless.

ossoff up by 12k now, good chance the race will finish out of recount territory (within 0.5%).

You know you are peak MAGA when you blame the runoff results on fraud instead of Trump’s berating of the two Republican candidates since he lost in November.
MAGA has officially killed the GOP. Blue wave successfully executed.
Deep State/Q believers should be blaming Trump family as a long-play ploy to kill the Republican Party.

What’s the GA result if trump and magas had not actively campaigned for GA GOP voters to stay home? That was an all time dick blasting right?

Wow. That's the first time I've seen the whole video. If he didn't have the resume that he does I would say there's a 100% chance that dude has never touched a boob.

Network capacity of ATL as a indicator of fraud was my favorite.

Doesn't look like that made much of a difference. The democrats out performed Biden and the percentages for the republicans are similar to trumps.

If you wanted to make a case for Trump being the biggest POS democrat of all time, I’m not sure I’d disagree.

good reminder that it's probably more likely than not that we'll lose a senator one way or another before the '22 election. and with the 50:50 balance, even temporary absences could dramatically impact legislation.

yeah. "we'll" in my post refers to americans, not dems.

Leahy in particular is an interesting case if he needed to be replaced. He's a dem senator in a blue state with a republican governor. I'd assume the governor would appoint another dem as to not upset the apple cart. My guess is the governor has an interest in being re-elected.
-
He'd be crazy (or ready to be done in politics) to appoint anyone but a republican.

probably. he said something along those lines when asked about potentially replacing sanders if he was selected for a cabinet position.

vermont is a very blue state. he was elected by dems.
-
That guy is also supposed to be the judge in the senate trial since Roberts dipped out

Leahy is out of the hospital already, buzzards.

While seemingly demanding and endless, ever growing and ubiquitous level of oversight by government into everyday life in America. Progfascist Nation takes two massive steps back when it comes to oversight of the electoral/election process.
Very weird, yet still fascinating.

Welp, devil was in the deets, the removal of no excuse absentee ballots is pretty egregious.

We knew the response was to just take away voting rights. Unfortunately the dems on the federal level could hardly be bothered to care.
