Have you seen the GOP lately? They want closed borders, they object to us paying education, housing and well EVERYTHING for illegals. They think biological men shouldn't play women's sports, they object to lawfare waged against political opponents, they are against removing the genitals of minors without telling parents, they are against forced gun buy backs, they are against taxpayers paying for sex change operations for prison inmates, they hate inflation, and incredulously, they want to keep the 1st amendment in place. Republicans. That's what you want to forum to be....buddy. They’re against infanticide and sexual perversion in general. Animals 2

That's been my entire point for this election cycle. And where are they? Id’a voted for them, democrat or republican, or any other label if they showed up.
BashiChuni Posted November 11 Posted November 11 Complete ass beating and mandate. Cannot wait. The tears and wailing will be so enjoyable 2
TreeA10 Posted November 11 Posted November 11 (edited) And as I type this, CA District 13 has only counted 57% of the vote according to the Real Clear Politics page. And there are 8 CA districts total that haven't finished counting! WTF California??? Yeah, we really need to spread those California values across the nation Edited November 11 by TreeA10
disgruntledemployee Posted November 11 Author Posted November 11 I read something that said Biden felt dissed so when he withdrew, he named Kamala as a fuck you. I don't think he has enough brain left to do that, but the spin is fascinating.

I don't think he has enough brain left to do that, but the spin is fascinating. The DNC is self-immolating with the blame game, I hope they come to some self-reflection about just how extreme they became. Fareed does a good job of breaking down three major mistakes, even if he does pat himself on the back for calling these errors in advance. 1. "The collapse of the immigration system and the chaos at the border" 2. "The overzealous misuse of the law to punish Trump" "Overeducated urban liberals were hypocrites, happy to bend rules and norms when it suited their purpose." 3. "The dominance of identity politics that came from the urban academic bubble." He wraps with liberals using "speech codes and cancel culture that censors or restricts that most cherished of liberal ideas....free speech" The GOP was got reflect and corrected after the beatdown that was supposed to be a red wave in 2022, I wonder how long it will take the DNC to cull the heard. California and Massachusetts are poised to fight to the death for the failed policies...the shit show will continue. 1
TreeA10 Posted November 11 Posted November 11 Few on the Dem side had the testicular fortitude to call BS on this but a week later, everybody saw it coming and thought it was a losing path. Maybe they were also in China with Tampon Tim when Tianamen Square want down. The scary part is none of this would come out if Harris had won and then the past policies are good to go for another 4 years.

I don't think he has enough brain left to do that, but the spin is fascinating. The timeline forced the Democrats to go with Kamala. Since she was on the ticket with Biden she still got to access the campaign funds they'd raised prior to his withdrawal. That would not be the case for anyone else and those funds would have to be returned to the donors or given to the DNC if neither her nor Biden were the nominee. The DNC could spend that money, about $100 million, on ads but not on directly running the campaign as that would violate campaign finance laws. If the Democrats had speedrun a second primary or picked literally anyone else at an open convention, that candidate would have to build a campaign apparatus from scratch and start fundraising from a base of $0 all less than 4 months from the election. The Democrats really just did not have any other option than to go with Kamala since she was the only candidate with existing campaign funds and equally important an already existing campaign apparatus in place. You go to the election with the campaign you have if I can paraphrase an F-tier SECDEF.
di1630 Posted November 12 Posted November 12 The timeline forced the Democrats to go with Kamala. Not true, $ stuff is accurate but Donors flocked once Biden was out. There would have been plenty. Rumor has it the Obamas were readying Mark Kelly to take the ticket and Biden endorsed Kamala with no support from the DNC high ups as a F-U for being ousted in the manner he was.Really sour relations reported between Obamas and Bidens. Mark Kelly v Trump even with a smaller war chest = Trump loss and we’d have a different outcome. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

The irony of her calling him a racist in the 2020 election cycle and then him, an ornery old man, sinking her future political career with this kiss of death would be absolutely delicious, but I don't think he was that adept. The whole thing went exactly according to their plan...problem is, it didn't work. 8 hours ago, guineapigfury said: The timeline forced the Democrats to go with Kamala.

You go to the election with the campaign you have if I can paraphrase an F-tier SECDEF. That was their plan. They didn't want Biden. They didn't want a primary. Dems waited until the time was right so they could jettison Biden, but were also close enough to the general election that they couldn't "afford" to hold a run-off or primary. Don't kid yourself. Pelosi and Obama wanted nothing to do with a damaging free-for-all primary that was going to be anybody's game with all the attendant uncertainty, all the while Trump was dodging bullets and chucking spears in the background. No. The plan was to prop up Kamala and pray. It didn't work. 1

If they do not have an acceptable ID, they can vote on a provisional ballot but must take additional steps after Election Day for their vote to be counted. Non-Strict Photo ID Requirements Non-Strict Photo ID: Voters are asked to present a photo ID, but if they do not have one, they can still vote by signing an affidavit, having a poll worker vouch for them, or using another method to verify their identity. No ID Required No ID Required: Voters are not required to present any form of identification to vote. These states use other methods to verify the identity of voters, such as matching voter registration information with other records.
M2 Posted November 12 Posted November 12 And since I was already messing around with Copilot, I decided to ask it the predicted results of the 17 outstanding House seats. The GOP currently has 214 seats and the Democrats 205, with 218 needed for a majority)... Here are the predicted winners for the outstanding House election results in key states: Arizona 1st District: Leaning Republican 6th District: Leaning Democrat California 13th District: Leaning Democrat 22nd District: Leaning Republican 27th District: Leaning Republican 41st District: Leaning Republican 45th District: Leaning Democrat 47th District: Leaning Democrat 49th District: Leaning Democrat Colorado 3rd District: Leaning Republican 8th District: Leaning Democrat New York 4th District: Leaning Democrat 19th District: Leaning Democrat 22nd District: Leaning Democrat Oregon 5th District: Leaning Democrat 6th District: Leaning Democrat Texas 34th District: Leaning Republican These predictions are based on the latest vote counts and trends123. The final results will depend on the remaining ballots being counted and any potential recounts or legal challenges.
nunya Posted November 12 Posted November 12 You need 218 for a majority. 270towin has called several of those, putting Rs at 219. The only ones they've not called are AK and 5 in CA.

M2 Posted November 12 Posted November 12 And even more great news... Next year’s Congress will feature the most women vet members ever The next session of Congress will feature the most women veterans ever elected to the House and Senate, with at least eight winning races this year. And that number could grow by one more: Iowa Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks holds a small lead in her re-election bid, with a few thousand votes left to be counted. The total is already double 2018, when only four women with military experience were among the 535 voting members of Congress... (full story at title link) 1 1

Vito Posted November 12 Posted November 12 (edited) Also, remember, the Democrat apparatchik’s were fine propping a senile Biden as long as they THOUGHT HE COULD WIN. After the debate, it became obvious he wouldn’t win, so they dumped him ASAP. If he had performed satisfactorily in the debate, we could possibly be looking at another 4 years of Biden as a figurehead President with other non-elected operatives pulling the strings of the Biden Puppet. Add to that, the fact that Kamala was waiting in the wings to assume the Presidency as the first Black, female President. A Liberals wet dream. None of these schemes were for THE GOOD OF THE NATION. This goes to show how conniving and un-democratic the Democrat party apparatus is. The more I look at this election I realize how Un-American and power hungry the Democrat party really is. With a willing accomplice in the main stream media, they didn’t even try to hide it this time! What Hubris. Edited November 12 by Vito 4

Liberal states vote left and a leftist tenant is their disbelief in voter ID laws. Not that a lack of voter ID turned those states liberal. They were already liberal. Also, as of today, that list seems to be incorrect since Trump has won Nevada and Pennsylvania. Edited November 12 by StoleIt grammar
Vito Posted November 12 Posted November 12 Stolelt, You can also look at it this way. No voter ID requirements allows illegals to vote, even though they’re not citizens. So assume a few million Illegals voted in these No ID states, most probably for the party that facilitates them.(democrats) You don’t think a few house races would be affected by these extra imported voters?

Oh man, this is either good intentions being twisted into political fodder or there is about to be a shit storm in FEMA come Jan lol. I don't want to believe that this was a wide spread policy and that there was not one person with a spine to blow the whistle on such a thing. This will be interest to see how this plays out.

I agree that illegals voting can happen. But, I don't believe it did, especially in any significant numbers, occur in this election. I'd be happy to see proof to the contrary, though. I am all for legal/approved ID being required to vote. I think that's just (un)common sense IMO. 1 1
