If all of their efforts to cheat and steal the midterms somehow fail, MAGA Mike will simply refuse to seat any Democratic reps.
Yeah, but somehow it’ll be the democrats fault if the voters don’t turn up on polling day.
I mean, yeah?? It’s the party’s job to rally the voters and get them to the polling station, is it not?
It’s the peoples’ job to be invested in their own life.
It’s party’s job to create so? worth investing in. Otherwise you are not investing, only stopping losses.
Voting for the Democrats is like keeping a fire extinguisher in your car. It’s annoying to take time out of your day every few years to replace it, and it won’t make your car any nicer to drive, but it will prevent an engine fire from ruining your livelihood.
That’s genius, you need to ring your congressperson and let them know, so they can use this to get people to vote.
Which party signed into law indefinite detention?
I’ll give ya a hint: Obama.
Dems aren’t the fire extinguisher, they are the niteoglycerin you store in the trunk.
Really all what Trump needs to do is to keep the AI bubble afloat until next year, if it crashes before then his administration is toast.
I hope both parties go the way of the Whigs, and that First Past the Post voting is replaced by something better. The leadership of both parties is rotten to the core.
And both parties will fight tooth and nail to prevent ranked choice voting.

He will drop the tariffs before then and make everyone feel rich
This is why they are purging voter registration, gerrymandering the hell out of every state, making voting painful and difficult in every poor blue-leaning area, illegally stacking judicial appointments, and spending hundreds of billions of dollars ensuring all media is monopolized and propagandized.
It’s not a warning sign if elections won’t happen…
Oh, I wasn’t aware you guys were still doing those.
In all seriousness, though, I wish you Americans the best.
Counterpoint: they learned fuck all 2016-20, they will learn fuck all 2024-28. The problem is real people will not feel the effects until years later, then they will blame anyone other than an old white guy.
Look at all the shit Obama endured having to fix Bush’s mess.
If Merrick Garland had been confirmed and Obama had convinced RBG to step down after the colon cancer diagnosis then maybe we would be in a better place right now.
But that’s not what happened.
Merrick Garland helped Trump walk.
I would hope Garland would have been a better option for us over Gorsuch.
Fix Bush’s mess? He doubled down on all of the worst excesses of Bush’s mess. Ramped up drone strikes, invaded more countries, renewed the patriot act, violated the war powers act by staying in Syria too long, tried to arrest Snowden. 2 more terms of bush would have looked identical.
They don’t have legit elections anymore, and even if they did it doesn’t matter.
The poll clearly shows Americans have a more favorable view of the Republicans than the democrats. What a pathetic country.
Trumps 2nd term has had higher approval ratings. Let that sink in.
It’s because the democrats have become master-classes in supporting candidates that Republicans hate and everyone else can barely tolerate.
It’s the fault of everyone who voted for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 primary for why we now have 2 donald trump presidencies. These pieces of shit don’t want to pay more in taxes, so they’d rather have a fascist in office than a progressive.
People say republicans deserve the day they voted for, but so does every other dipshit/moron voting against progressive policies.
I am absolutely convinced that most democrats are working together with the Republicans.
They lost both times on purpose. Nobody is dumb enough to run a candidate like Kamala.
To be fair, they lost their shit over Obama, the second most milquetoast president in my lifetime. Like they made up scandals that normal people should’ve been like “yeah chief, mustard and a suit ain’t it.” But people who vote Republican are all braindead traitors as far as I’m concerned.
Lol there isn’t going to be any more elections in America
Are these midterms in the room with us right now?
As always for us across the pond: Simply fascinating that his party isn’t polling in the single digits, or even decimals
I have upsetting news for you, about the general qualification level at anything of a lot of my fellow countrymen.
They can actually be pretty skilled at some things, and most of them are not actually bad people on a personal level. But their systems of education and media have been under sustained attack by malicious forces for as long as they’ve been alive. It would be surprising if they did have as much grasp as a Golden Retriever on anything about what’s actually happening in the world.
If only they still planned to honor election results.
That would be a lot easier and more predictable way of doing things, but election or no election I believe popular will matters. Authoritarianism is a lot harder to do when the subjects are restless.
I believe popular will matters
Last time a president won by a landslide was when Obama pretended that it does in 08. Then he governed as just another “moderate” and the myth died everywhere except in the minds of the chronically naive and/or uninformed and the willfully obtuse.
Authoritarianism is a lot harder to do when the subjects are restless.
Sure, but it’s still been the modus operandi for the US government forever. Being the richest nation with the most bloated military in the history of the world makes unpopular things MUCH easier to get away with.
While overt fascism coming back is new, the US government has ALWAYS been authoritarian and the popular will has very rarely mattered more to its governance than “might makes right and rich makes mighty”.
Every time you say this you give them more power
But this is given that they won’t honor. The question is whether we let them.
They…don’t…care…
They’ve spent the last year rigging the system to ensure that there will not be a fair election. How the hell are people still clueless about that?
You could walk in on election day, vote overwhelmingly for Democratic tickets, and still wake up the next morning with the Republicans up and down the board miraculously winning. Even if it’s obvious, and so-called “investigations” are launched, the system is filled with Trump loyalists.
The time to fix this electorally was a long long time ago.
This. They stole '24 and they aren’t going to give it back willingly. Just look at the way republican congresspeople are acting. They know there will be no electoral consequences or they would have acted on the feedback they got at town halls earlier in the year.
Republicans have a 15-point advantage on crime and policing, a 7-point advantage on immigration and a 5-point advantage on the economy, according to the poll.
I guess there weren’t many farmers, or construction company workers, or small business owners in this poll
5-point advantage on the economy
Oh they want the economy to go bad?
This absolutely baffles me. Who thinks these issues are in ANY way improving under the current regime?
Actually, almost 6/10 think things are getting worse. They prefer Republican approaches over the Dem approach to those issues when they’re forced to pick one or the other, but a majority disapprove of both parties.
Basically what we want is for Senator Chris Pine to judo chop some terrorists after rescuing orphans from a burning building and then solve poverty and racism with a motivational speech about what makes America the greatest country on earth. We aren’t evil but we ain’t smart and we’ve ended up being taken advantage of by some of the worst people on the planet.
White rural people.
The ones whose homes were destroyed by hurricanes and were denied FEMA money, or the ones with silos full of soybeans they can’t sell who just went bankrupt?
Yes.
They don’t see these are related to the current administration in any way.
It’s mind boggling, but true.
That’s not enough for 48%, it’s all the religious nuts, and they come in all colors.
For some reason a Latino religious nut thinks it’s better to vote on the super white supremacy racist that will oppress them every chance they get.
Because Jesus.
Except they are voting for the anti Christ.
Whoring, lying, arrogant murderous Trump, and they consider him a Christian?No, not really, just look at Nick Fuentes. I doubt he’s even religious and he thinks he’s white
