U.S. Mid-terms

[silentkisser]

Aren't you ignoring some obvious things?

The Trump/Russia collusion thing was an overwrought election integrity issue for Dems and liberal media. The media beat on this for over two years and it was great for CNN and MSNBC's ratings. It was echoed by many of the Congressional Democrats. The end result of the expensive investigations weren't very satisfying, but the issue rallied the base. Even before alleged Russian collusion gave them hope of overturning Trump's Presidency, Democrats were wailing that Trump would destroy America. (And I mean wailing. Please don't make me post videos. They're disturbing.)

Interestingly, Democrats in power hasn't been good for CNN/MSNBC's ratings just like Trump in power was not great for Fox News' ratings. Cable news on both sides needs a boogeyman to thrive.

The "evil" Republicans are trying to destroy our democracy is the Democratic flip-side. I'm more cynical of this tactic. This is an good opinion piece below that discusses the hypocrisy and the politics as usual. You don't have to agree with the commentator, but it does raise interesting questions of the Democrat's strategy.

I long for the days when both U.S. parties would just wait for the next election to avenge their losses.

Your characterization here is flawed because there was evidence the Trump campaign attempted to coordinate with Russia in 2016, but they were so inept the couldn't really do it. And, that also comes after a GOP led committee showed that Russian interference and influence helped Trump. That is an unvarnished truth, despite the Mueller report's inconclusiveness (which was aided by Trump's obstruction and promises of pardon's for anyone who didn't play ball with Mueller).

The 2020 election had no evidence of widespread fraud. Trump's plan from early on was to declare victory on election night, and if the votes didn't back up that claim, cry fraud. He telegraphed it. He planned on doing it in 2016...because his ego couldn't take the hit that losing an election brought. So, he cries about irregularities. His fart catchers give him excuses: the voting machines were fixed. Italy or Venezuela tilted the scales. There was mass ballot stuffing. None of these claims have any evidence...

I don't necessarily agree with your generalization, but historically Democratic Administrations were more pro-growth, pro-business than the Biden and Obama Administrations.

And yet Biden has the biggest job growth in decades.

"If Democrats believed that the pro-Donald Trump candidates are committed to overturning our system of government, they would try to block them every step of the way. Instead, they have often promoted exactly these candidates in the GOP primaries in the (sometimes flagrantly mistaken) belief that they’d be easier to defeat in the general. One would think a national emergency calls for eschewing cynicism, not engaging in grotesque displays of it."

No, democracy is not on the ballot — and cynical Democrats know it

Democracy is under threat — the wrong candidates could win more votes than their opponents in hotly contested free and fair elections.

It was a risky strategy, I suppose. You help promote a fringe GOP candidate that likely would get trounced in the election....but there is always the risk these idiots could actually win...but, as far as I've seen, where the Dems have done that, they won the race.

But, at the same time, i'm cynical about the GOP crying about shit like this. I mean, they put Ye up for running in 2020 with the hope he'd split the black vote or something....

There's multiple contradictions with this common line of thought.
There are many interactions between Russians and Washington political people including people close to the Clinton campaign.
There wasn't evidence of collusion.
No one is sure what crime they would indict if there was "collusion".
No one in their right mind would cooperate and expect fairness from a Washington special prosecutor.

Your "they were so inept they couldn't really do it" comment should be the end of the whole debate, but it seems to spur more accusations.

Anyways, I think the Mueller report was fairly conclusive in the legal sense. It wasn't conclusive in clearing the innuendo. When it comes to politics, some people just won't accept innocent until proven guilty. There's always something more they could have investigated

Call it what you will but if you vote left this is the garbage that you get

Frank, that's redundant to the nth degree and utterly stupid in the post-Covid reality.

The vaccines caused the biggest job growth in decades in the entire fuckin' Western world. There was no American economic phenomenon.

So if you want to give Biden credit for the big job growth then he's responsible for the high inflation.

That wasn't the author's point.

No red wave, more like a stalemate.

Wow, so please share with us what another 4 years of Trumpism would have done for gas prices, food shortages, crime and illegals please. Enlighten us!

Btw, I din't notice any food shortages in the grocery stores, nope, none. Higher prices yes but go ahead, please enlighten us ignorant lefties.

NY Post, huh?

That's a fine Murdoch-owned, thoroughly corrupt, right wing piece of shit newspaper. I wouldn't believe anything I read in that, if I were you.

All you have to do is read the author's point. You don't have to subscribe to his column. If I remember right, I don't think he's a Trump supporter.

I kind of figured you or Valcazar would attack the author or the source.

Well, it IS the Post, isn't it?

Next you'll be quoting Breitbart like Oracle and Kirk.

At this rate of counting, Onlyfans will be out of business when they are done.

I feel sorry for Squeezer. He was so looking forward to fucking her.

But.... the count isn't done yet. There's still hope.

 

[bver_hunter]

No, the other one.
The one thats still living rent free inside your head

So it is still the Trump Devotee Syndrome when trying to defend the culprit that overall screwed the Republicans in the midterms.

Okay Honeybuns, I will raise the rent, and remove the toxicity from within. ROTFLMAO!!

Exactly, the GOP blames him for inflation.
So he gets job growth as well.

But there are lots of other stats that show that dem presidents have done much better economically than GOP over the last 50 years.
If you want to go there.

I didn’t say a single word about trump period
But what you have now is all Biden bro
You lefties will accept anything as long as nobody from any community ever gets their feelings hurt which is just not real life
