No, I am a man who is greatly aged by time with children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren who I want to see protected from the worst. Every adult in my community has made damn sure to vote regardless of our views on its likely success, but we have chosen to set up somewhere outside the grasp of a government actively opposed to our existence.

What changed was Biden or "Biden" endorsing Kamala on twitter. The rumors at the time were that Obama, Nancy, and Chuck were looking at someone like Josh Shapiro or another one they could prop up a bit as a "moderate". Biden endorsing Kamala torched any plan they had because now they'd have to openly fight the will of the sitting president and his chosen replacement. They wanted to do this all from the shadows, if the fight became public it'd put even more credence to the idea that the president was forced out in a soft coup and open infighting among the Dems would be even worse not just for the presidency but down ballot too.

Realization:

They had to go from Biden/Kamala to Kamala/<Anyone> to keep the money that came in already.

But they could have instead went Biden/Kamala to <Anyone>/Kamala to keep the money, too. They could have done literally anyone and sold it as Kamala stabilizing things by staying in her role as support.

Which means Biden endorsing Kamala -- which he didn't even do, the black press secretary did using his twitter account while he was recovering from that latest stroke -- really fucked them over.

The Diversity Hire's Diversity Hire screwed it all up for them.

That's like poetry. It rhymes.

Fuck. These are the "men" that will be drafted for WWIII?

Yes. Remember the left doesn't believe in knock on second order effects. So them fucking with the military trying to turn it into another party controlled DEI indoctrination factory (whereas before a primary non-military role it had was to enable class migration by allowing poor kids to move to the middle class due to good job + training + education + networking) won't affect the quality of our military, and it sure as shit won't mean all those good ol' boy white male soldiers from deep red states will stay home when they scream "lets go die for Israel and Biden's embezzlement schemes in Ukraine!"

We're going to hit a stage, very soon and very rapidly, where everything goes to shit because of the competency crisis, and part of that is when the world realizes we can't play Team America World Police reliably anymore.

A tie voot means a contingent election in the House (which Trump will win)

I talked about this before but it would be incredibly hard for Trump to win a contingent election in the house. You need 26 States to win in that case, and Republicans have a majority in exactly 26 States, but a few of those majorities are razor-thin, so you only need 1 Neocon Never-Trumper in a key state to keep Trump from getting certified. Kamala definitely won't win a contingent election, Democrats only have a majority in 22 States so there's no way they flip enough to get 26.
If this happens, we end up with acting President Walz, since the Senate will vote him as VP, which means he's President until the House deadlock is resolved.
 
Schwarzwald dijo:
Senate is basically a Republican lock at 80-20. It would be truly shocking if it slipped away from the Republicans. Expect 52 seats most likely, 53 possibly.

Looking back, 2020 went as badly as it did because Arizona and Georgia also had Senate seats up for grabs. Montana, West Virginia, and Ohio are far more resistant because they're not swing states.

Why don’t we reflect on our favorite politics-related gaffs and memes from years past? The first ones that come to mind for me are Ted Cruz’s butter cow tweet (predating 2016) and that clip of Bernie Sanders running in a subway. Why was he doing that anyway?

Lara Trump used to creep me because of all of the surgeries, botox, and makeup, but she's been so fucking good this year, especially fighting voter fraud.
 
I'm thankful for getting to experience the joys of this election cycle with you lot. Way better than the slump of 2020, I don't think people really remember just how the media were screwing Trump, no coverage at all and just sedition all around him.

Also where is that faggot Mike Pence anyway?
