How Democrats won the West

[Vaduz]

The greater the free perks the greater the increasing diversity as we are seeing now with this so called president.

The democrats own Parasite Inc. to keep them all the have to say is lose us and you lose you gravy train ticket.

Parasites do obey

[kiryandil]

Fake and criminal syndicate government. Totalitarian in other words.

Yes.

Plan accordingly.

[avenir]

By appealing, per Cicero, “to the most base instincts in man”.

[EC Washington]

Laxalt was a spineless - worthless candidate. My relatives in Nevada told me his campaign was a complete joke. Then when there was enough evidence for a re-count - Laxalt conceded and went home.

Many Californians migrate precisely because they don’t like the politics and policies there. They leave that behind. They do not vote for more of the same in their new state

Blame the local GOP for not making any effort to get out the vote

[Nifster]

Yup

[brownsfan]

“They do not vote for more of the same in their new state”

I disagree.

Many of the surrounding states have gone blue, even CO and ID. It’s a complex issue, not just migration, (the left’s control of education is part of the problem). But I think the CA vermin take their politics with them. To a conservative, how you vote is a calculated decision. To a liberal it’s an affirmation of their moral superiority. Voting Republican would shake a liberal’s sense of superiority.

It’s happened on the east coast as well, with MA infecting NH and ME.

[Antoninus]

I am of the belief that the US would look like Florida except for democRAT cheating...

I agree. They cheated to win a couple close elections in the Western states. Then, once they won, they fortified themselves by institutionalizing cheating to make sure that they could never lose again. The pattern that originated in Washington, Oregon and California is now playing out in Arizona, Colorado and Nevada.

Nothing will change in those states until Democrats begin fighting among themselves (and they will as there is no honor among thieves) AND Republicans become better than Democrats in ballot collection.

[Antoninus]

Most historians can speak about Tammany Hall or Huey Long, but no one dares to think that such corruption could be updated and brought into the 21st century.

What goes on today is Tammany Hall on crack. Boss Tweed would blush at what goes on in most major cities today.

[dsrtsage]

Basically, they destroyed California , then refugees fled spreading across the west like a mindless horde of locusts obliterating everything in their path while forgetting why they fled California in the first place

Was ballot harvesting previously illegal in Nevada?

The practice of a non-family member turning in another voter's ballot, informally referred to as "ballot harvesting," was illegal in Nevada until 2020. It can be used where it is difficult for voters to reach polling places, such as remote communities and retirement homes. The strategy is popular among political groups who want to increase voter turnout for their candidates. Supporters argue it promotes election access. Opponents say it creates opportunities for election fraud.

According to Ballotpedia, as of May 2022:

• Twenty five states permitted someone chosen by the voter to return mail ballots on their behalf in most cases.
• Eleven states restricted who may return ballots (e.g., to household members, caregivers, and/or family members).
• One state explicitly allowed only the voter to return their ballot.
• Thirteen states did not specify whether someone may return another's ballot.

I'm not a "Professor of political science but this seems to be quite the coincidence.

Oh wait...I forgot about Gibbs rules.

Getting a full share of Kaliporicans here in this county.

I thought some of the local people born here were dumb..I eat those words.

Kalipornicans are in a league of their own. Thee most arrogant conceded bastards anyone could ever encounter.

Just like the stupid filthy trolls in lower Michigan coming to the UP to act like they are special.

[Kazan]

By 1) Importing voters from other countries 2) ballot harvesting 3) cheating.

[freddy005]

“ Every.single.political-scientist.twat loves to expound on grand themes like race, economy, to spin social trends and zeitgeist, etc...

NOT ONE, gets into the complex and hidden machinery of how government printed money and debt interplay with influence peddling, vote-buying and particularly now - how ballots are distributed and counted.

Most historians can speak about Tammany Hall or Huey Long, but no one dares to think that such corruption could be updated and brought into the 21st century.”

Statement of the month if not the YEAR!!! BRAVO 👏

[joethedrummer]

“Want to see America’s future? Look at Venezuela.“

Yep. Time to fatten up your pets, folks!

[Reily]

There’s a spin-off from the Chicago Economic School ** that does that - Public Choice Theory.
Not sure how successful their “modeling” is, but they do address it in their writings.

** I call it a spin-off from the Chicago school because all the adherents of it that I know are originally those type of economic thinkers.

[Rich21IE]

Very well put. I often time refer to the Democrat Political “Machine”, and yea, it is a syndicate. But One Party Rule is what “Democracy” means to the Democrats.

Ever thus,

[ChinaGotTheGoodsOnClinton]

Thank you for the feedback. If it wasn’t for FR sometimes I’d think I was going crazy to see what is really happening right now.

Happy New Year! to you and yours...

[Mr. Jeeves]

Ballot shenanigans aside, the most important thing they stole is the minds of our youth - through cultural subversion on TV and the Internet.

There were a lot of young Reagan Republicans in the 80's - comparatively, I see very few young MAGA Republicans today.

It may be true that a majority of people who actually show up to vote are older and conservative-leaning, but it is very easy to ballot-harvest from a young population who has been catechized in government schools - with very little contradiction - to believe that Republicans = Nazis.
