2022 midterm elections

[Trim]

Only 2 R vs. D races on my ballot, went R on 1 and abstained on the other because the R is maga.

who was the maga and who was the one you voted for?

I've been saying this since August 2, but I think the beautiful women of America are a dark horse in this election.

I think this is correct but would also add youth.  Youth is youth and will probably still youth it up, but it seems like they are a bit stirred up right now and I read last week that youth voter registration is high right now. 

That said, I think Wacks will get to yank one to the picture of Mitch McConnell he keeps in his wallet.  Unless the ladies and youth do some darkhorsing around, I think best case is that the pubs take the house the dems gain a seat in the senate.  My gut is Dems lose both house and senate, though.

Other things I think will happen:
1. Herschel will redefine the low bar of being elected to the senate of the United States of America
2. Herschel will redefine the low  of my personal faith in the American electorate to actually overcome our flaws and create a solution to our current political system and it's problems
3. the next two years will be the worst political years(functionality and rhetoric wise) in my generation thus far
4. Pubs being POS thread will thrive in same time line

Herschel won't win and is almost impossible for the legislative branch to be more dysfunctional than it already has since Mitch became the majority/minority leader.

who was the maga and who was the one you voted for?

Maga =Tiffany Smiley vs. Patty Murray for us senator.
Non-maga = Cliff Moon vs. Pramila Jayapal for us rep. (I’m not certain he’s non-maga, if you find he is I can still cross him out and write in Beasley or whoever)

what made you abstain rather than vote for murray?

I think Herschel is going to pull it out. That said, the fact that it’s close and trending closer is enough for my #2 to already kick in a bit.

As for Mitch, he def did that but the new increase of new gen GOP’ers will just give him more ability in a time that more ppl are tuned up and ready to pitch in with his bullshit.

While Hillary et al are already working to delegitimize 2024.

Just be warned that something that we were assured couldn’t possibly happen, just might happen in 2022.

Election Betting Odds has the chance of Republicans controlling the Senate at 71.5%.

That is up from 65.6% yesterday. I'm curious what has changed from yesterday to today to cause that kind of movement.

I voted a week ago.

So, now have heard, and seen multiple times the terms "Constitutional Republic" being thrown around by pubs. I get it's correct, but it's an odd take to just cut out democracy part and say that instead.

I figure it's to remove "dem" and replace it with "pub" to sound hipper

Basically you can trot out the "Constitutional Republic" thing to justify anything that dis-enfranchises people or to explain why cows in Wyoming should be more represented in the Senate than humans in California.

Agreed, just amazing how often I've heard it today and I'm not even in America (lots of Americans in the trailer, just good lord)

Heading to the store now as we speak. Need some extra lube for tonight. We’re about to get weird here at the wacky house.
