TBF, the republicans attempt to move to populism got tied to nationalism so that made it an untenable position. The dems :dunno: ultimately nothing will change. Eventually the nationalist wing of the republicans will lose steam and interest, and the progressives will continue to spin their wheels within the democratic party. The establishment of both parties have incentives for colluding to maintain the status quo. Change gets gridlocked and republicans and suburban democrats get to stay comfortable. Win win, right :excited:

Honestly trump winning non consecutive terms would be about as ‘Murica as it gets

I would imagine that he gets comfortable in his role out of the work but still in the spotlight that he won't run. He'll toy with it for 3.5 years though.

I feel like the GA results are just going to cause each side to dig in deeper. Non-MAGA pubs will be way more convinced that MAGA is a bad direction for the party. On the other hand, Trump and MAGAs will just get madder and more determined not to give up because that's esentially who they are and what they do.
And this is what will ultimately destroy the Republican party. MAGA is even attacking Lindsey Graham after he said "challenging with zero proof is a political dodge versus fighting for Trump". As MAGA digs deeper, non-MAGA Pubs will step away. If the Loefflers of the world continue to get nominated as the party candidates, Democrats will continue to win. Lindsey knows this as he received a huge wakeup call in his election.
MAGA did not help their case with all the antics post election. The self-inflicted blue wave might be around for a while. I don't love it, but prefer over MAGA wave.

They MAGAs will continue to hitch themselves to a practically once in a generation confluence of factors that brought in trump. They seem to think (wrongly of course) they are the majority, when in 2016, especially looking back, enough people just took the gamble on trump just to say eff it let's see what happens. We have seen what happens, and anyone with sense jumped shipped and left the red hot core of magas by themselves.
I agree if the pubs continue to tolerate it (why not, it's practically them now) it'll destroy them. They are a group that doesn't add people it sheds it, and you can't win by constantly shrinking your pool of voters day over day, year after year. That being said, we'll see what 2022 brings, I am curious how quickly they pivot from trump happens 1/21/21. The more they dig in, the more they will suffer. They might be successful in moving away, but that's going to be a tough trick to do, but most magas are pretty stupid so it's possible.

We're going to lose an assload of elections for a decade but hopefully, eventually, we are the party of moderates. this is obviously all fan-fic, I realize.I think your split predicto is pretty good. I don't know how Republicans unify after this because I don't foresee MAGAs becoming more reasonable.

they'll work together because their policy positions are so close. It's how Trump became the face of the party - his policy positions have always been in line with mainstream republicans, he just presented them as a bombastic bad person. That won't change.

The vast majority of BidenVoters polled after 2016 thought the election was stolen from Mega Corrupt Hillary Clinton.
Wrong. Let's not forget even when he won, Trump was the one who claimed fraud.
Quote
A new POLITICO/Morning Consult survey showed that 25 percent of registered voters say they agree with Trump that millions of people improperly cast ballots last November. But if the election was subject to voter fraud, 35 percent say it's more likely any improper votes benefited Trump, and 30 percent say they benefited Clinton.

Abstention is always an option. If the new Pub platform is merely more conservative than Dems, the new Pub party is going to be a lot smaller than the 55% of Republicans that don't approve of the storming of the Capitol.

- figure out how to rehabilitate MAGAs. will require immediate losses to their ranks in primaries to more moderate conservatives while there is momentum and them eventually just fading away or they go back to not caring about politics.
- keep going down the road of moderate republicans holding their nose and aligning with/voting for MAGAs and ultimately just being MAGAs. there aren't a lot of brave conservatives in office as we've seen pretty clearly over the last four years.
- splitting the party now and, over the long term, building a party of moderates from current GOP and current Dem like minded people. this is my fan fic.
none of these are going to cleanly happen and whatever does will be a mix of them obviously.

Polling conducted for HuffPost by YouGov last week captured the difference between Trump and the party explicitly. Asked whether they considered themselves more supporters of Trump or supporters of the Republican Party, 37 percent of Republicans said they were mostly Trump, not party, supporters. Among those who voted for Trump, that percentage was 44 percent. About 30 percent of Republicans and 22 percent of Trump voters said they were supporters of both; only 24 percent of Republicans and 21 percent of Trump voters said they were mostly supporters of the Republican Party.

It probably matters to Ducey. Honestly, I don't understand how any normal voting republican wouldn't have already censured themselves from the party at this point.
Ducey was very MAGA before this, and I'm certain he still views himself as a trump supporter to an extent. This is wild, like I said a couple of months ago, these people are so fragile and non savvy that they have no problem depleting their own base because they get their feelings hurt.

Any political genius thoughts come from the reaction of cucked and cowed people inside the repub party who don't want to constantly lose. This is the same thing that allowed them to keep him going in 2016, what forced them to hitch themselves/purge moderates in 2018, and what doomed them in 2020. They decided to do that, trump just decided to never change course.

I would assume the difference between moderate democrats and moderate republicans come down two one or two issues that aren't changing. I'm certain that the religious right would certainly break with the republicans and not maga, so that almost instantly maintains the divide between moderate pubs and dems.

Yeah I guess so. But voting for a Republican implicitly feels like "backing the party." For the vast majority of voters, I think the decision at the ballot box is the extent of the "backing" they give to either candidate or party. Anyway, stupid semantical side tangent.

Sasse voted against conviction during the impeachment trial.
While I don't agree with him there, he isn't irredeemable in my mind. There are a lot of people that I would vote for over Sasse too, just that I wouldn't rule him out from the jump.

Nobody circles the wagons around his party's POS like WAKS.
I'd also add Swalwell to one of the primary #blueanon ringleaders, at a Schiff'ian level 6.7 out of 7
There wasn't a single lunatic conspiracy that Swalwell didn't 1000% go in on . . . it was almost like he was engaged in a disinformation campaign on behalf of another foreign power.

This is a good argument for not convicting Trump, imo. I am not saying that this should be the route taken, but if trump is convicted, he will pull out of the GOP and do the his own party thing. That will fracture the GOP for the foreseeable future. If that doesn't happen, the Mitch's can fight from inside to squash the MAGA out. You already see Mitch trying to do a little of that with MTG.
I personally, want trump convicted, but understand it isn't going to happen. the incentives are misaligned. Due to the party split that would happen, most of the incumbent Pubs would have a hard time winning re-election against dems with a split party. They aren't voting on Don. they are voting to keep their jobs next go 'round.

I am by the definition of the resident ProgFascists a racist because I don't agree in totality with the political beliefs of ProgFascists.
So rather than debate the actual topic, the resident ProgFascists immediately throw the race card anytime they need to defend one of their own.
In this case, waks feels the need to jump in and defend a total POS like Eric Swalwell. Who on top of being a total POS, is also one of the chief #blueanon types just below known liar (and repeated leaker of classified information) Adam Schiff.

It has nothing to do with political dogma or defending Swalwell.Well, in the dilemma of being wrong or admitting to being a racist, dax chooses racism.

GOP only house meeting and MTG got a standing ovation from half the members.
This party split may actually happen.
Also, I read that the Boebert received a GED in 2020. I mean, more power to those doing positive things during the down time of quarantine, but that's a congress woman now. We have gone from intelligent liars manipulating idiots for power the the idiots believing the lies so strongly, and for long enough, that they have decided to, and successfully, run for congress themselves. We now are in the Culture Warrior stage of Congress, rather than the smoky back room stage. Is that a step up or down?
The new Q contingent is interesting.
They are either going to force GOP normies to comply to Q or they are going to force a split.

Greene is obviously a huge sack of crap but as always the dems can't get out of their own way. They have no business dictating that she can't sit on committees because she's a horrible human. I don't know why they just can't let the pubs deal with it and any repercussions that comes from whatever they decide.
Do they need a 2/3 vote or simple majority? Regardless, I think it's probably politically expedient to force house republicans to go on the record stating they believe a woman who believes Jewish space lasers caused the California wildfires and also that the Sandy Hook shooting was a false flag with paid actors should be on the education committee.

I think that realistically, if we offered the south a peaceful secession, they would refuse. They are only interested if it involves a violent uprising where they get their balls collectively tased off and they get to continue to be Americans afterward.
They wouldn't actually do it. If that collection of obese states think they could go it alone without the federal aid they aren't looking at math. They are net takers.

Dude is going to so old in 4 years. If he won, he'd be 86 at the end of his term.

Who will run against him in the primary? I'm guessing we get Sasse and maybe Romney. Not expecting much opposition, really.
The article says he isn't going to run, he's just saying that to hang on to power. He's more likely to be in jail for tax evasion than the Republican nominee for president.

GOP had many cross lines for Biden in 2020. I imagine it will be even more if Trump is on the general ballot in 2024. Capital storming videos will be on loop in 2024 during election adds.Will those videos get more voters to reject Trumpism or more voters horned up to support Trump and Trump Toadies? Not sure I want to know the answer.

I think those videos would increase turnout on both sides, probably more so on the democrats' side.
As expected state legislatures across the country are making it very difficult to vote. Among the things they're trying to do here is remove voters off the roll if they miss a single general election. They want to bar county auditors from sending absentee ballot applications, not absentee ballots but an application to receive an absentee ballot. They want to make it a felony for county election officials to "not follow election laws" which is as nebulous as it sounds.
Thirty three states have introduced 165 bills this year to restrict voting access.

This guy says there are 5 factions; "Trump Boosters," "Diehard Trumpers," "Post-Trump GOP," "Never Trump" and "Info Wars Trump."
Quote
"Trump Boosters" made up 28% of respondents in the poll. This group holds very positive views of the former president and a slight majority would vote for Trump in a hypothetical wide open 2024 GOP presidential nomination race that included Trump. But this group is more supportive of the Republican Party than of Trump himself.
"Diehard Trumpers" made up 27% of survey respondents. This group would "definitely" vote for Trump in a potential 2024 nomination race regardless of whom else was running. They firmly believe Trump should still be leading the Republican Party and describe themselves as supporters of the former president more than backers of the GOP. But they're considered a separate group from the "Info Wars Trump" category because they aren't believers in QAnon conspiracy theories.
A fifth of respondents were described as "Post-Trump GOP." This group holds strong positive opinions of the former president, but they don't believe Trump should continue to lead the party and would vote for someone other than the former president in a hypothetical 2024 Republican presidential nomination ballot.
TRUMP ALLIES AIMING TO REPLACE RETIRING GOP ESTABLISHMENT SENATORS
Fifteen percent were classified as "Never Trump." They hold an unfavorable opinion of the former president and nearly all believe Trump's bad for the party. The vast majority of these respondents definitely would not vote for Trump again.
A tenth of those surveyed were considered "Info Wars GOP." This group has near unanimous support for Trump, but also has a strong favorable image of QAnon and believes in several conspiracy theories pushed by the group.
The survey indicates that Republican voters overall are split on their loyalty to Trump – with half saying they're more supportive of the former president and half putting their fidelity to the GOP first. In a separate question, nearly six in 10 of all respondents want Trump to continue leading the party.

This was brought up on texags as well, though framed as "anti-left", with most posters self-identifying that way. Seems to be the trump boosters to me, they like trump because they think he is the best tool in the toolbox in the fight against "the left" but don't have the cult worship the diehards and infowars guys do.

I think if people changed their party affiliation based upon how their beliefs align with what the parties are pushing at this current moment, you would see many jump from the GOP. A lot of registered Pubs are holding strong hoping they get away from MAGA....but instead the party looks to be doubling down on the MAGA values. More people should consider themselves unaffiliated.I’m not changing. I’ll just vote for Ben Sasse and Ben Sasse Adjac people on the NE ticket and be mad when they lose.

True words and definitely nails IMO the beginning of the path the decided to take. There was a lot with Ronny in the 80s, Gingrich in the 90s about who they wanted to pander to but Palin 100% was they decided to just come out in the open with it. The whole "Joe Six Pack" and "mama grizzly" was just scratching the surface of the trailer park trash maga q people were out there.

she's not going to run for president, if that's what you're alluding to. per that tweet, she appears to be losing her house position and i'd guess it's 50:50 at best if she can retain her seat.

I will admit that I lost my mind from November 2020 to January 8, 2021, as it never occurred to me that a sitting U.S. President would openly (and brazenly) accuse the several states of participating in a coordinated voting fraud campaign designed to overturn the election and therefore cast doubt on the integrity of our entire system of government (the returns on that will be slowly coming in over the next 5-10 years). Before that, I was often accused of being a Trump apologist whenever I would tell people to cool their jets because Trump can't do nearly as much damage as the proto-blueanons then feared.

I want the GOP to be strong so that one party doesn't just impose its will unchecked by cogent counterarguments. Trump makes it difficult for that to happen, or at least some of us have the misfortune of so foreseeing.
There will always be a second option. We need the GOP to become so weak that the resulting enormous democratic party splits in two.

D's are going to lose the House in 22 due to gerrymandering/lost seats. Who knows on the senate. We're set up for a long stretch of minority/oligarchy rule and the only hope is that the suburbs can kick out some of these clowns after the trump dust has settled. But I'm not convinced.

accuse the several states of participating in a coordinated voting fraud campaign designed to overturn the election and therefore cast doubt on the integrity of our entire system of government (the returns on that will be slowly coming in over the next 5-10 years).
What's happening in Arizona is disturbing. I worry that this will be the norm for more and more pubs and that efforts like it will get even crazier.

Do you realize how stupid you sound when you can't figure out that this person was essentially an echo chamber for every Schiffian #blueanon level conspiracy that your movement could concoct?
That, on top of the fact that she literally lined up and brought forth bills to not fund removing our troops from forever wars, which the #blueanon's (like you) immediately echoed and threw the proverbial cherry on top . . . Trump was caving to Putin.
I suppose now we can truly affirm (again) that Vlad owns Joe, keys-title, the whole bit.

In true form, the ProgFascists also chimed in that Trump was helping Putin while actually believing the Russian Bounty story. Now wholly debunked, and even if true, not a soul should be surprised if they had the slightest hint of historical knowledge.
Now if we use ProgFascist logic, we can conclude that Vlad Putin is (back to) issuing repeated 360 windmills and Shaq like power dunk moves on iPOTUS Joe.

Only an extremely Low IQ poster (so, you) doesn't get my singular angle relative to Liz Cheney. She is a war monger, she and her family stand for endless wars. We need every endless war politician to be voted out of office, so that would include tons of Dems up to and including our President, the Senate Majority Leader and the Speaker of the House.
So per usual, you look at the entire world purely through the frame of political dogma, party line votes and political power (and race, which is just a given at this point). A real humanitarian.

Yes, dummy, we all know what your Cheney angle is because, as always, you've posted it 354,610 times. I'm well aware that Liz is a racist, war mongering, hyper-partisan, trump clone. She's still the same person who campaigned for the fat racist and voted with him 94% of the time. The only time she didn't see eye-to-eye with him before January 6th was on the troop withdrawal. Just because she was one of the few sane voices on a very obvious issue, of trump being seditious, doesn't make her some hero.
Here's the thing that I know that you know but you choose to ignore. Elise Stefanik voted with warmongering Liz Cheney against the troop withdrawal from Afghanistan. Stefanik is kissing the feet of dear leader in a clear move of nothing but ambition, so you won't crap all over her. We all see right through your act, daq, you've done it every day for 6 years

If you were aware, you wouldn't have posted what you posted your perpetually triggered ProgFascist crap For Brains.
I also don't recall advocating for Ellise Stefanik, please point out where I have. One would think that a hyper hyper partisan/hyper politically dogmatic ProgFascist like yourself would recognize that a member of a Congressional delegation cannot continually rail against the de facto leader of that party and then not expect to have any ramifications. Anyone who doesn't get that is Simple AF (so, you and several others on here). Because Cheney is such a war mongering POS she cost the de facto leader of the party points by blocking what was a campaign promise. Of course #blueanon (so you and others) immediately chimed in with some :lol: :lol: about Trump acquiescing to Putin on the basis of a now totally discredited NYT's story that is just another in a long line of :lol: :lol: #blueanon insane conspiracy theories.
It's also hilarious use the phrase "dear leader" when your party is still lead by old white racist war mongering POS (plural), who are now fake woke so they can continue their collective 250 years in Washington DC rolling the grift on you and people like you.

she's not going to run for president, if that's what you're alluding to. per that tweet, she appears to be losing her house position and i'd guess it's 50:50 at best if she can retain her seat.

That being a far extreme fringe element is the greatest threat to our Democracy and by the most minuscule level of loose association all conservatives will be swept up into ProgFascist New Stasi Nation.
Look for #blueanon leadership to bring a tsunami of funding bills to support the cause. To the tune of billions upon billions of dollars.

It's because the new conservative platform is whining and big government. Completely abandoned the core because of trying to own the libs.

I used my @turnbull decoder and figured out most of what you typed.
I realize that you, like many on here have extreme difficulty in following along. But what you're discussing was propagated by an extreme fringe element that only people who spend far too long on the political side of social media every day would even know about.
#blueanon is actually a very minimalist and frankly antiquated label, because that presumes a minority and a relative level of anonymity.
The reality is, the insane-lunatic theories of what was formerly ProgLib nation, now ProgFascist nation are mainstreamed, accepted by millions and propagated from the very top of ProgFascist Leadership down through tens of millions of rank and file ProgFascists on a daily basis.
Sadly (but assuredly) you don't understand this.

There are some polls that indicate up to 13% self identified democrats voted for trump in '16 so it might not be as far fetched as it appears. I'm also guessing some of those people aren't trump voters but those who think he'll pull some crap. Either way it's safe to assume that most of them are morons.

You can usually get 10-15% of respondents to agree to any insane political opinion so it's really only the other 20ish percent that is alarming
That means 1 out of 5 gop you talk to think some insane scenario is going to unfold where an ex-president who took a pretty good ass kicking the election and has been whining about it ever since will be "reinstated" into a second term.

I definitely think this is what they will do.
Well then they can lose because Biden is just not making lots of sense these days.

He wasn't last spring either. That didn't stop him, the DNC, or the democratic primary voters for selecting him.

From demanding that her father be hauled off to The Hague and tried for war crimes, to embracing the Cheney wing of the NeoCons as one of their own.

While you have the deflectoshields on full, Lick. Let's once again recognize the fact that Liz worked tirelessly to stop Trump from withdrawing troops from Afghanistan, and pulling a small handful of troops out of Germany (while moving some closer to Russia). You know, the Germans/NATO/EU who no longer trust your guy Joe and want to create their own EU rapid response force to handle situations when your guy Joe leaves them hanging.

I don't know that she can be as directly blamed for war crimes as Dick, but I'm ok with a little collateral damage if there was a drone strike on the Wyoming compound this Christmas.

Liz is definitely in lockstep with #blueanon, which is why the Cheney NeoCon wing is welcomed with open arms by #blueanon nation.

At one point, she states that in 36 states (+DC), you have to have a master's degree to teach. This is completely false. The site she links to has to do with having a Speech-Language Pathology degree and what you need to be able to work in schools.

Please point me to where she talks about speech pathology anywhere in her article.
Quote
Part of the reason for this prolonged instruction is to hone the expertise required to be an effective teacher. This involves becoming fluent not only in the content and issues informing a given subject, but also in how to teach. Anyone can walk into a classroom with an understanding of (or at least an opinion about) the content. But not everyone can succeed in teaching it. That skill is precisely what higher education, intense mentorship and stressful licensing requirements are designed to build and assess.
Which is why the ceaseless effort of parents and politicians to shape curricula by targeting book selection, the type of history taught in classrooms and even specific terms used in classrooms should be ignored. These distractions are nothing more than theater, and school boards and administrators should be protecting their teachers — and students — from it rather than bowing to it.
Currently, 36 states (plus Washington, D.C.) require that teachers have master’s degrees to teach, and states typically require administrators and supervisors to have earned advanced degrees in addition to at least one license in administration. As a professor of teacher education and someone who works with teachers in classrooms, I can say with authority that our nation’s children are in good, educated and capable hands — no matter what some parents and politicians appear determined to believe.
Of course, as with any profession, there are sometimes incompetent practitioners or bad actors. I’ll never forget the teacher who dreamed up the mock slave auction in a horrifically misguided attempt to teach about slavery or the teacher who asked students to list the positives of slavery. More recently, a school in Texas made headlines when one of its school board members insisted that educators teach “both sides” of the Holocaust, as did a school in Florida for shaming a 14-year-old girl for her clothing.
This is the context of her comment. She is in no way referencing just speech pathology. If you follow the link, the requirements do not have to do with teaching speech pathology. It is about speech pathologists working in schools and what the different requirements are to do different things in schools. I would like to know what K-12 school you think has classes on speech pathology.
If you don't want people to stick their noses in education and stay out of government school classrooms, then don't have them supported by my tax dollars! As long as my tax dollars go to supporting those schools, I'll stick my nose in the curriculum anytime I want. That's kind of funny that you told me to homeschool my kids.

Your tax dollars go to lots of things you have absolutely no say about. In fact you really don't have any say as to how any of your tax dollars are spent. County engineers aren't consulting regulars on how to build bridges. Paramedics aren't consulting whining conservatives on effective first responder methods. You don't get to crash the local national guard post and force them to do what you want them to do. You can't nor wouldn't do these things because you aren't an expert on any of these things, this is the same thing as education. Driving on a highway doesn't make you an expert on traffic patterns and knowing how to multiply 34x84 doesn't make you an expert on curriculum.

Here we have a guy who's bankrolling candidates who would hate his guts for being gay and would push legislation to restrict the rights of himself and other gay people, all to keep Democrats out of office to presumably save a few bucks on his billions.

Mondale won his primary. I think Pence legitimately gets only a handful votes in Iowa. He's trying to distance himself from MAGA and MAGA is all that he's known for. Nobody would vote for that.

When Brian rough ridin' Kemp is getting democratic voters to vote for him in a primary, you know the republicans have truly won everything. Good news, trump guys aren't winning crap in Georgia, bad news for dems is that they aren't winning crap either. They're going to get completely housed by what might be one of the most conservative governors in America, in what they were trying to turn into a purple state.

I’ve never voted Republican, but I’d kill a drifter for 8 years of truly moderate GOP leadership at this point.
That sure as hell isn't Brian Kemp. Policy wise the only difference between him and the maga he beat is that he has some weird moral ground about trump and the 2016 election. Never mind that he did almost as much as he could to win his own 2018 gubernatorial election, as the secretary of state. Remove half the polling locations in Democratic controlled, urban areas, that's cool, not cheating at all. Decertification of an election, well that's too far.
He's like the golfer who kicks his ball from behind a tree but talks crap on the guy who writes a 5 on his card instead of a 6.

Republicans who support former President Trump more than they support the GOP climbed to 41 percent in August, up 7 points from May when 34 percent said they supported Trump more than the party, according to an NBC News poll released Sunday.
A slim majority of Republicans, or 50 percent, say they support the party more than they do Trump, the poll finds. But that’s down from 58 percent in May.

While some component may be more difficult to determine than others, there's no murkiness whatsoever in the blatant lies told about the resolve of the Afghan Army as well as the puppet Afghani leadership (with noted exceptions). There's no gray area what-so-ever in the fact that U.S. crap all over our coalition partners.
Relative to Trump, the political component is 1000% on point. That's the true question at hand. Great attempt at deflection, tho.

. . . and my comment is 1000% in sync with Trump being able to achieve a campaign promise. It had nothing to do with opinion polls or execution of the withdrawal itself.
I'm sure you haven't notice, but politicians declare victory early and often.

The worst part of this is that MIR will come say something like that, and then back it up with nothing.
There's MIR, and then there's reality:
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/liz-cheney-says-she-strongly-opposes-trump-on-syria-afghanistan/
Specifically on Afghanistan, it was a clear opportunity to deny Trump a potential political victory.
You both appear/are smarter than me on most subjects. I try not to get involved in conversations or threads that I know little about. That being said, I appreciate that you back up most of your crap with quantifiable facts/links. Have I seen MIR do the same? Sure, on occasion but I don't think "they" want to do the do the diligence to find truth on the subject.
:confused: I'm a bit confused about what "quantifiable facts/links" that I need to provide. Are you confusing me with someone else? I haven't said a thing about Liz Cheney. I couldn't possibly care the tiniest bit less. Do you want me to provide evidence of dax posting word salad and lies, because that's what I commented on? I can do that, if you two really want me to.

Not for nothing the Democrats winning in Alaska is a political earthquake. They can say oh it’s Palin/bad candidate all they want this shouldn’t happen in a red wave year. Go Democrats!
Unfortunately she gets another bite at the apple in November, this election was only for the end of this term.
We might have a grand opening/grand closing situation with ranked choice voting in Alaska. A dem winning there is wild.

Look I understand that it's likely not a solid hold for Democrats for November. However, it can't be stated loudly enough since the Dobbs decision the GOP is on their heels, Rick Scott stole money from the NRSC (Senate Campaign for Republicans), their grassroots funding is drying up, McConnell has been pretty open he thinks the Senate candidates are complete garbage in Georgia, Ohio, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Arizona to compete against Democrats, not to mention they've opened up and said that Ron Johnson though an incumbent is not a normal incumbent. The House is likely lost by the Democrats i'll concede that, without the extreme gerrymandering it would likely be a 50/50 as Democrats redrew all but 1 extreme Gerrymander in Illinois.
Can the environment change for Democrats in November yes, but in terms of elections....the GOP shouldn't be saying a line like this "hey Democrats energy might be peaking too soon" less than 70 days till the election. Furthermore, one thing I am wondering, how many of the GOP voters will stay home due to "Stolen Election" beliefs....literally like this, If the Democrats stole 2020 (which of course they didn't)...why wouldn't they do it now

Guys, if Sys's post about dumbass non-Palin GOP voters not putting down a second choice on their ballot is correct, this is the reason a Dem won. It's incompetence, or at best ignorance of how ranked choice works.Incompetence has not stopped MAGAs from winning plenty of other elections.

Right, but the distinction is that this doesn’t mean Alaskans are choosing dems. It means that through their ignorance of process they are ending up with them.

it's neither incompetence nor ignorance, it's voters refusing to choose between two candidates they dislike.
i'm considering not making a choice in several of the elections i'll be voting on in november, and i certainly understand how the ballot works.

This should be a wake up call to Joe Biden and the DNC but he's a power hungry megalomaniac and his party only cares about attempting to horde power. They are trying to keep someone Mitch's age as the leader of the free world for five more rough ridin' years. Absolutely absurd and unacceptable.

This is more true than people want to acknowledge. The GOP since the advent of the Southern Strategy had long since been tootlng the horn of anti black, with the realignment towards more rural and exurb it was an easy demon for them as there wasn't many (or any) people of Color in their neighborhoods. They turned that horn into an air raid siren when Obama was President, then gerrymandered to such an extreme, pass crazy voter laws that the 4th circuit even said targeted African Americans with almost surgical like precision. They tried to claim the Tea Party was about debt/Deficit/spending but suddenly when Trump was POTUS it was lol here is the unlimited dollars we want to spend!!!! This is why the Kamala Harris haters shouldn't even get a runway to say oh it's her policies....really now explain Birtherism, explain oh she slept her way to the top..or John Eastman's article saying "is she an American citizen ;) ;) ?"

For your southern strategy comment.
In 2005, Republican National Committee chairman Ken Mehlman formally apologized to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) for exploiting racial polarization to win elections and for ignoring the black vote.

For Birtherism,
No Clinton's Campaign Memo explicitly said Never to mention his background, Birtherism was started by an Illinois politician

The House is pretty much on fire...and the GOP is getting EVERYTHING they deserve for far too long the Democrats have had to bail the GOP out of the craziness....and better way to ask this...would any of the Problem Solvers GOP Caucus members vote to save Pelosi...they all know the answer is no.

I did see that Pelosi got kicked out of her office, at least she won't burn in the house fire.
GOP Pettiness....expecting them to bail the GOP out...and even when they did that (while she was at the funeral preparations for her friend) she was like okay whatever. Again there is an expectation that the Democrats should always protect the GOP from their crazies....sorry no the reason the House, and GOP overall, is that the Democrats are always expected to be the adults in the room and paper over the crazy. There is an unwritten rule here in DC...no matter how crazy the GOP gets or how bad of actions they do...it's always those Dastardly Democrats at fault...If only they let Romney win the GOP wouldn't have went to Trump....If only Biden didn't win we wouldn't have had January 6th....Gore vs Bush (read up on the Brooks Brothers Riot) Democrats were to accept that a SCOTUS effectively said we 5 conservatives believe the GOP should win and to take it.

I had no idea the outgoing speaker got an office in the capitol, i guess in theory when the pubs kick out the next person they can boot McCarthy out and take the office.

Democrats won’t be able to resist saving the GOP from craziness until they stop caring about social safety nets and what happens to those who are the worst off.
Let the GOP do it. For far too long the American public has been protected from consequences of their votes. It's time...let the GOP run wild and when their voters are hurt the most...they can look themselves in the mirror.
