Democrats winning elections

You left out Louisiana. They had a Democrat governor before the last election. Look, you're the one that said Democrats are going to win because of abortion. Let's look at that.

Kentucky elected an incumbent, extremely popular Democrat governor. Lost the other two elections of AG and SOS.

Virginia they held the state senate and gained a handful in the state house.

Louisiana was a clean sweep for Republicans at large margins.

Utah was another blowout win for Republicans.

South Carolina has been covered.

So Democrats have won nothing on the federal level and a handful of state elections. Not exactly bragging rights worthy. 

First off I’m not bragging. You misunderstood my intent. Because the news media treated a couple of weeks ago as a big night for Democrats and a possible sign of things to come I was speculating on whether or not that’s true. 
 

My own analysis is this: 

1. Traditional “establishment” Republicans continue to do well. 
2. MAGA Trump like Republicans continue to do poorly. 
3. Abortion is a huge albatross for Republicans. 
4. Trump is also an albatross for Republicans. 
5. Biden is an albatross for himself but I’m not sure it carries down to his fellow Democrats. 
6. The public at large doesn’t care about woks issues. They probably lean on the side of Republicans but it’s not a voting issue for most people. 
7. Inflation may be down a little but it’s still a huge albatross for Democrats. 
8. The border is an albatross for Democrats. 
9. Ukraine spending, more and more, is becoming an albatross for Democrats. 
 

All of this adds up to (a) a Biden victory against Trump, (b) a Biden defeat against anybody else, (c) a toss up for Republicans Vs Democrats in general. 
 

That’s my take feel free to disagree.

I'm originally from Charleston, SC and I can tell you first hand that it's a HUGE deal that it turned Red. It's a rich College town with a high Jewish population. It's been deep Blue since 1877. 

Tecklenburg sealed his fate when he let the BLM rioters destroy the City and removed all the historical statues to appease the Woke Mob. People are fed up with the lefts wokeness. 

IT'S HAPPENING

OK. I can buy into this. I’m a little skeptical that voters anywhere really care about taking down statues one way or another but maybe they do there. 

Charleston is a place I’ve always wanted to visit. I want to see the Citadel, Fort Sumter, the homes south of Broad street. I understand it’s quite beautiful. What’s the best time of year to go? 

[The Real timschochet 3,943]

One correction though: there were no BLM rioters.

You can't have it both ways Tim. You can't claim you have so many hundreds of thousands of posts because you have all this "free time", and then attempt to hand wave off the reality that you didn't spend all that magical "free time" to help your own family. 

You actually risked the lives of your own children. You were willing to let them risk even death so you could splatter a message board with hundreds of thousands of posts. Not only your kids, but there are other people on the road, probably near those schools and areas that kids and parents go, where they could have been also killed by your wife behind the wheel. 

Do you ever think about that? That your indifference or whatever toxicity going on within you could have gotten other people's children killed? Lots of people at the "other place" are parents. Lots of people here are parents. Do you think any of them have a single shred of respect for you or want anything to do with you after you held your own children up to the altar of your own unrelenting narcissism? 

"Why does it even matter?"

Ask your kids that question. 

Here's another question you can ask them - "Do you know how to immediately discern if a parent loves their children or not?"

The answer is in their actions. Or inaction with clear malice. Where were you when you were needed the most Tim? 

I find it amusing you were willing to let your own children die for your toxic pathology then decided to broadcast it in public as if you are the good guy here, then seem to be amazed that people are utterly disgusted by you. 

How much of a worthless human being do you have to be to not even consider, not even just once, the other parents and children on the road when your wife was guzzling down bottle after bottle behind the wheel and you were spending all that "free time" gaslighting strangers on the internet. 

Damn. You are a petty little man. Pro tip: don't let message boards get personal. You've gone way beyond letting it get personal. If you said this to Tim's face, nobody here, if they're half the ALPHA they all want to portray themselves as, would blame Tim a bit for knocking you the fuk out.

What kind of POS uses personal posts from someone in crisis like that in a stupid internet slap fight? YOU. I remember when there was speculation that you might be David Dodds IRL. I really hope that's not true, because I have a lot of respect for Dodds. You deserve zero respect, and are just another rotten, selfish, self loathing human being that today's conservative movement seems to cater to.

Scandinavia can still save itself if it wants. Rounding up the outsiders and deporting them can be accomplished.  Germany and France will have a much harder time, would probably require severe military action. The UK is done. They are embedded there now.

All the cities. The place is toast. The Muslim birth rate in the UK is nearly twice that of regular humans. They said they would outbreed them and they are doing it. Sometimes you should listen to people when they tell you their plans.

Maybe you should listen to Trump more closely, then, like those of us that realize he's the single biggest threat to this nation based entirely on his own behavior.

Maybe. What Biden WON'T do is reclassify tens of thousands of federal jobs in order to install sycophants into those positions. Trump and his team are going to do exactly that.

So, what is he specifically going to do? It would be good to know if he’s such a threat.  I didn’t observe that in his previous stint. But things change.

I've linked the stories here several times. I'm not doing it again. The headlines could read "Trump to declare himself Supreme Emperor and begin executing rivals immediately if he wins re-election" and include direct quotes from him and you wouldn't GAF.

So he’s going to go after corrupt civil servants? You think there aren’t any? Many whistle blowers have come forward and said there were. Do you propose nothing be done about it?

Plenty of corruption, but the issue here is the definition for him on who is corrupt = anybody who speaks out against him or doesn't buy into the stop the steal nonsense.

Yeah. The Hunter Biden case was handled fair and square. And the FBI didn’t spy on Trump to benefit a political party.  And 51 intel officials should be allowed to retain their top secret clearance status because they would never abuse it. And the FBI needs to send swat teams to take down a guy at his home because he shoved someone, after offering to turn himself in. If those are some of the people and agencies you are speaking about then fock em. Trump will go easy on them compared to what they deserve.

Exactly- act like the people you supposedly hate and b1tch about all day.   Just own it- you don't mind the authoritarian when there is an R behind the name.   I say fock all of it, and you clowns basically just post "but the left did it first" type of b.s.    you either hate this crap or you don't.

I think rooting out corruption and political hacks embedded in our government is part of his job. You think it’s “authoritarian”. You know what I think is authoritarian? Sending the FBI after parents that speak up at school board meetings. And Catholics for attending Latin mass. But you don’t.  

[Hardcore troubadour 13,327]

Lol. Biden and the democrats have spent the last four years going after their political enemies, and now our nation is on the brink if Trump goes after his.  Fockin lackeys.

It's cute you think it would be actual corruption rooted out, not just stop the steal sycophants as replacements.   Nope, no corruption there or authoritarian leanings.

The IRS under Obama was found to be targeting conservative groups. Authoritarian! Obama had more journalists arrested than any other president under the espionage act. Authoritarian! I bet noted centrist Buck Dope was unaware.
