Seems like Dems are back on the “democracy is on the ballot” pitch. Hey assholes that’s what you said last time, we gave you unanimous control of the government and you did absolutely nothing to strengthen democracy. Fuck off

Arizona looking more bleak to me.

In 2020, Kelly was up by 7 points in the polls. He won by about 2.

Now the recent polls have him up by 2.

If they did something to safeguard democracy then democracy wouldn’t be on the ballot anymore so people wouldn’t vote for Dems and they couldn’t save democracy.

Every election in my lifetime has been framed as democracy’s last stand against the existential threat posed by the other side. Probably is this time, but yeah, been there done that.

I remember the first time I had dissonance about this was in 2012 when there were a lot of articles about how Mitt would Destroy America As We Know It. Like fine, his policies were not good compared to Obama but … REALLY? The gap between Mitt Romney and Barrack Obama was big enough to make the election a threat to the nation? OBAMA’S SIGNATURE POLICY IS MITT’S HEALTH CARE PLAN!

The current existential threat is second only to 2020 with Trump directly on the ballot.

Dems putting up trash candidate Dukakis in 88 started all this. That got us Clarence.

Then the history of 1968-1992 have 20/24 Republican presidents gave us an R SCOTUS and Gore v Bush which really accelerated things.

Followed by the absolute theft of seats by Mitch.

Keeping control of the senate is absolutely critical. Losing the house is going to be a very annoying shot show and kill legislative initiative. Losing the senate is a catastrophe.

I don’t have it in me for WWE memes for this election cycle.

Vance gonna win by at least 7

They are obviously going to impeach him, I’m just curious what they’ll make up to stick him with? Some kind of letting the illegal MS13 thugs come rape everyone thing?

Is Predictit going to be functional on June 30, 2023?

Is it safe to put money on PI again?

I don’t know about others but personally I have just stopped looking at polls. They’re dubious information at best and I can’t use the information in any way.

Just overheard between two sixty something women at your local diner in Ohio.

“I think he (Hunter Biden) is Satan.”

“A lot of people are writing in Ted Nugent. You could do that. Some people write in Jesus Christ.”

Just have to lol at how fucked our country is. Hopefully they really do write in Ted Nugent for whatever office they were talking about.

Maybe they were just talking about voting on Ted Nugent for the rock & roll hall of fame.

For them to get a supermajority they’re going to get some 53% of the vote.

Truly, 100% resigned to what’s coming.
