Congress Elections

So I like to watch the different news channels to see the takes from both sides and it was interesting to see Fox News actually blame the Trump extremism for what happened.

One thing they noted, which I think applies to either party, is that the ones who lost focused on the issues (inflation, crime, abortion) but did not really spell out how they would fix it so they didn't win any support. The ones who did have some type of plan/solution, were the ones who were able to win.

As in life/work, it's very easy to point out the problems... but it's the people who show you how they can be fixed that make things better.
 
They still will take the house and muck things up for Brandon for his next two years. I’ll take that. I’m all about the ghost in the machine.👍🏽😂
 
Sure... I prefer a balanced Congress anyways.

But tell me, why wasn't it the "wipeout" you predicted?

You've been wrong 2 elections in a row now... have you learned anything?
 
Not changed my position one inch. I’ll thrive under whoever’s in charge but this outcome still works to my advantage…I love more chaos…remember?😂😂 The war goes on…

 
Of course that’s an answer, remember, I’m a cynic. My personal point of view never changes and I never underestimate the stupidity of people. That means I can adapt and even thrive while I wait out the inevitable. This current scenario plays out just as well as the red wave one does. Divide and conquer suits me just fine.
 
Oh... the "I may not be right but I'm never wrong answer."

Why do I bother to try to have a discussion with you?

I never asked you if you are happy with the situation... I asked you why it did not come to fruition as you predicted. But I guess that would be mean having to admit fault... is it that hard?
 
I agree…too bad the chumps will never get the payoff, they prevented a wave but not quite enough to grab the brass ring…ahhh the naivety of youth…

Biden’s illegal student-loan bailout bought off Gen Z — and staved off a red wave


we can’t ignore the fact Biden, through his unilateral student-debt forgiveness initiative, attempted to funnel billions of dollars directly into the pockets of young people just a few months before the election.

That timing was not coincidental — and certainly seems to have bought his party some of their votes.

A judge in Texas has blocked President Biden's plan to provide millions of borrowers with up to $20,000 in federal student-loan forgiveness


· A federal judge in Texas on Thursday blocked President Joe Biden's plan to provide millions of borrowers with up to $20,000 apiece in federal forgiveness

· The program was already on hold as a federal appeals court in St. Louis considers a separate lawsuit by six states challenging it

· District Court Judge Mark Pittman, an appointee of former President Trump based in Fort Worth, said the program usurped Congress' power to make laws

· The debt forgiveness plan would cancel $10,000 in student loan debt for those making less than $125,000 or households with less than $250,000 in income

· The decision comes after young voters and college graduates drove Biden's Democratic Party to a better than expected performance in the midterms

You just glommed on... you didn't form your own coherent explanation and danced instead.

Trump now fighting with DeSantis... or DeSanctimonious as he called him.

That's the other reason why the red wave faltered... they are divided among the Trump and non-Trump line.
 
Besides the Trump baggage, the Republicans have been somewhat trying to become more diverse and attract minority votes, but they need a way to reach young demographics in urban areas otherwise they will keep losing (especially with mail-in-balloting become mainstream). Inflation, crimes and border security are probably not among top issues for gen Z...they need a platform to run on. not revenge tour for trump, not really Save America. They need a younger centric candidate to contrast against Biden..
 
The party to offer some type of immigration reform will win a generation for life. Each party has talked about it and has also refused to solve it since it’s a better campaign issue than problem to solve.
 
As the repubs wake up from their trump delusion, i may start voting for them again.
Sure, after they do a couple relapses and maybe get a four year sober chip.

Their core message is total crap these days. Every regulation is bad. Every tax is bad. Hand outs for large corporations. They have zero policy ideas.
 
glommed on? I agreed with him then put forward further evidence of his point. That’s discussion.
See what other people are posting? That's discussion.

What you're currently posting is regurgitation... not even your own words... copy and paste and links.

And you didn't attempt to post any type of coherent reasoning until Motor Court did.
 
LOL.....Dems win the senate seat in NV


I actually thought repubs were gonna do better. I find the 2020 vote deniers a cancer to our country and I'm glad the US population agreed.

Fuck trump....lock him up.
