2022 Midterms

[Rasulis]

Appreciate the in-depth explanation.

I am not upset over him being recalled either. He would make a better public defender than DA.

[Milchshake]

Ya sad to see CHesa got recalled. He made some genuine motion towards justice reforms, but was cartoonishly out of touch in other basic areas.

Happy that Karen Bass was able to get into a runoff. Really mad she got sand-bagged by a bunch of rich celebrity assholes. Most of whom don't even live in LA proper. Fucking clout chasers with McMansions in Malibu, Calabasas, Palmdale....

Love how in America, wanting clean air and water and gun control makes you a liberal instead of it being a given that you want them.

Remember, in America, facts and education are liberal and liberals are stupid, but going with your gut and on blind faith of a specific invisible man is the smart thing but only if you pick and choose certain passages from the teachings that cause the most pain and suffering while ignoring the rest.

Keep in mind he was recalled by 60% of 25% San Francisco voters. To 75% of San Francisco voters the issues on the ballot were of no importance. I mailed my ballot in. I know my wife did not.

As your United States Senator, I will fight to end illegal immigration and soft-on-crime policies that release dangerous, undocumented criminals into sanctuary cities.

People! This guy will fight for you on illegal immigration.

Speaking of “illegal immigration,” Mehmet, you forgot to mention that a company owned by you and your wife’s family was fined $95 million by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement over a scheme to employ thousands of illegal immigrants — the largest fine levied in ICE history.

Holy bleep! I usually speak on how our government gives slaps on the wrist. This involved thousands so it might be light.

The few xenophobes we have in here, I ask again. Why do you like being conned by these people who say one thing and do the opposite? Well my first sentence is likely correct, xenophobia, bigotry and racism.

I wish people would understand they use this as a distraction, while people such as Oz have the greatest effect on employment.

I've said this before, but it's applicable here. Their sentiment ultimately boils down to "It's not about the money stopping the abortions/immigrants/vaccinations/gay marriage, it's about sending a message."

They don't care if this republican politician employed illegal immigrants. They don't care that the wall would be ineffective. They don't care if there exist ways for women to still get abortions. They care that it projects the message that they don't like these people, to cultivate an atmosphere of fear and coercion to try and make these people go away and "stop ruining their perfect image of America." What their politicians say is infinitely more important to them than what their politicians actually do.

[Beefhammer]

James Craig, shitheel GOP candidate for MI gov, has to be a write in candidate because of, wait for it, fraudulent signatures on his petition to get on the ballot. He is now investigating it claiming Dems infiltrated is signature operations and fucked him over. Probably has nothing to do with those workers don't get paid enough and are expected to hit ridiculous quotas for signatures.

But he can get fucked again.

STOLEN ELECTION! We may not have gotten these claims with Cawthorn, but we're getting them with Oz since the race is so close. Love Republicans that think every race they lose is stolen and not just that their candidates are unpopular.

Edit: And to mark Cawthorn's loss, let's look at his message after his win in 2020 -

Cry more, con.

Haha, remember when the conservatives called the liberals snowflakes that couldn't accept a loss, when we found evidence of interference in the 2016 election?

And now that conservatives are losing across the country they're crying about stolen elections.


When liberals lose and suspect foul play, they open investigations.

When conservatives lose, they won't accept anything but foul play, and will lead riots, insurrections, and kill people.

Liberals source their suspicions of foul play from multiple corroborating reports from many impartial agencies and individuals all building towards a case.

Conservatives source their suspicions of foul play from the butthurt loser saying "I didn't actually lose, trust me."

The Squad-endorsed candidate in Nevada outspent her opponent by $100k and lost by 70 points. I'm starting to think maybe money doesn't buy elections.

Also, maybe guillotines are bad for campaign messaging.

Squad-endorsed? Wasn't it just Cori Bush?

Considering liberal dark money groups spent in excess of $240k for Titus, and Titus had her own war chest of $1.2 million if things got dicey, I don't know how much $100k actual campaign-spending-difference mattered.

I think it's a pretty obvious case of "Titus never felt in danger, and $100k difference is chump change to her campaign."

lmao when the conservative body checks the neo lib.

Republicans didn't want to certify election results because they still believe in lies about Dominion voting machines. Luckily Democrats hold more control in New Mexico and was able to shut that shit down. I do expect the Republicans are going to try to pull this shit again in other states, especially during the midterm elections and the next general election.

Under court order, GOP officials in New Mexico county certify election results

If Republicans are so convinced by all of this conspiracy bullshit that the voting machines are busted and will turn their votes into votes for democrats regardless... why are they even bothering to vote?

I don't know, maybe deep down they really don't believe what they're saying. It would be nice though if their paranoia really did keep them from voting.

At this point, the US falling to fascism is a matter of WHEN, not IF.

Man, this is a hot take. What can you offer up as proof of this statement?
