“Point is, the state with the greatest red wave landslide of the election has the same early voting and mail voting laws of states where we’re asked to believe that election fraud took place entirely due to the presence of early voting and mail voting.”
I think DeSantis won so big in Florida because Floridians like him. I think Arizona voters didn’t like Masters and Lake as much. Or Laxalt in Nevada.
My point was early voting and mail-in voting are the norm now. Republicans can adapt to that reality or keep getting wiped out.
I don't have to believe it because it doesn't make sense. I don't believe voters broke for the democrats everywhere as the GOP got 5 million more votes then the dims. And the GOP also won the House so I think the red wave was a bit of psyops that even I fell for because I wanted it to be true. The Senate was never in play due to the actual mathematics involved - GOP was defending way more seats and many were not getting the funding by McConnell - which we knew before hand. But since Biden is so horrible it was natural to think no one wants this idiot but many Americans either do want him, believe the media or do not care as they think it doesn't affect them personally. But it will and it already is.
Jim Noble (FR since May 1998) predicted Senate D52 R48 and House R223 and D 212 in August, and I stuck to it two weeks ago in the face of all the Red Tsunami hopium.
I also predicted D+40 in the House in November 2018.
I post about what I see all the time. What I see is that people hate the Democrats, but they hate the Republicans more. Individual candidates can make a difference, of course, but for a Republican to win a statewide election (or a national election), usually Democrats have to vote for him.
This was Trump’s winning formula in 2016. He was made President by 60,000 Democrats in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
The formula is simple: Close the border. Enact punitive restrictions on finance capitalism. Support and protect industrial capitalism AND labor. Reshore manufacturing, using the power of a muscular government where needed. And stop the nonsense about individual liberty. We live in communities, communities have norms. All the GOP has bought with their stupid Randian objectivism is drag queen story hour and open drug use.
The nation will not be free until the GOP is destroyed. It is the major obstacle to a realignment.
Build it, and they will come.
‘And the GOP also won the House so I think the red wave was a bit of psyops that even I fell for because I wanted it to be true.’
And there’s the money quote. You wanted it to be true so you believed it.
About Republicans getting more votes than Democrats. That’s no surprise. States like Texas and Florida have a lot of voters. Trump lost the popular vote in 2016. It doesn’t matter if Republicans got more votes nationally. The election was by states and districts.
I agree.
At any rate, election laws aren’t going to get changed in states where Republicans do not have total control of the statehouse, SOS, and state legislatures so it’s pointless to even wish otherwise.
I do think there could be a discussion of a federally-mandated date that that the results need to be announced while still leaving the individual election processes up to the states themselves.
There’s no reason why an entire week after an election, there’s still districts in California that are barely 50% reported. That’s unsat. 24 hours after the polls close, report your totals. If this means you can’t continue harvesting ballots, so be it.
‘I do think there could be a discussion of a federally-mandated date that that the results need to be announced while still leaving the individual election processes up to the states themselves.’
I agree with this. Make the mail-in deadline a week before election day. Have everything that can be counted already counted. Tally the ED results and add them to the early and mail-in votes.
We’d still have some races go into the next day, but it wouldn’t take weeks.
If it was all about abortion, why did the GOP flip 4 seats in New York and other Democrat stringholds?
