2022 MidTerms & State races- who ya got?

[rufus]

Drew is just carrying the banner for the Rube. It’s always the dems fault. Always. They lurch 50 feet to the right and a dem sneezes 2 inches to the left and the dem is “divisive”

Didn't you know? Only Dems can be divisive, or polarizing. Republicans can't be. After all, they're real Americans, full of real American ideals and values. They want only what's good for the country.

And that can't be divisive now, can it? If Donald Trump remaining president instead of Joe Biden is best for the country, then who can argue?

[FadeToBlack&Gold]

Pretty easy to stay divided when the right's idea of compromise is to chip away at basic human rights instead of ending them outright.

In all seriousness, I wouldn't want to room with 18-year-old me either. Have you spent any time around undersexed, economically privileged, dorky, libertarian undergrads lately? Ugh.

The Right: "me not getting my way all the time is divisive."

Everyone gotta cater to the conservative white men

"You not letting me get my way all the time is divisive"

Fixed that for you.

This is a really poor reflection on Dems https://www.axios.com/2022/08/19/col...cal-views-poll

That old adage "**** your feelings" comes to mind.

I've seen that on t-shirts. The people wearing those shirts, which party do they belong to again?

Such sentiments seem........polarizing.

It’s funny Rufus posted a picture of that nutjob when I explicitly stated no reasonable person wants someone like that as a roommate. That isn’t who the poll asked about though.

The poll may have well asked if you wanted to room with that guy because the odds are that guy is every ****ing republican that you may have to have as a dormmate. If this was 1970, or 1980, or 1990, or maybe even 1992 I would have been in the camp that said I don't give a frog's fat a ss what party my dormate belonged too. Because back then the average republican was not a fascist, racist, misogynistic, anti-LGBTQ+, uninformed, science-denying, loser PIECE OF ****ING 5H!T. Now the average republican is at least that bad. And anyone who enables them in any way (including by using ill- and uninformed whataboutism like you routinely throw around) is just as dangerous.

Just run this. You don't even need another ad.

This is why nobody with a conscience wants to be anywhere near any Republican.

They already are. It’s her getting asked the question about exceptions and saying “no, no exceptions.” It’s literally the only ad I’ve seen and it’s getting plenty of air time.

I have seen this ad over a thousand times. The only other ones are Slotkin vs Barret in a house race, with Slotkin talking up her bipartisanship, and Barret has kids and is a former helicopter pilot.

[FadeToBlack&Gold]

I'm already sick of that ad. They've wised up this cycle and are airing it on the ad tiers of streaming services. Tudor, of course, is claiming it takes her responses out of context. No actual denial though, because those are her positions.

In Michigan, women are definitely registering to vote and are outpacing Rs.

If I was a Wisconsin Republican (good God thank you for never making that a possibility!) I would find these stats very troubling:

• According to TargetSmart data, among new registrants since June 24, women have out-registered men by 15.6%.
• Democrats make up 52.36% of all of those newly registered voters, compared with 16.59% of new voters registering as Republicans.
• Wisconsin is a perennial battleground. In 2020, President Biden carried the state by a margin of just 30,000 votes, receiving 49.5% of the vote to Trump’s 48.8%. In 2018, Governor Tony Evers (D) won the election by a similar margin of 30,000 votes, winning with 49.6% of the vote to his opponent Scott Walker’s 48.5%. In 2016, Donald Trump carried the state by a razor tight margin, 47.2% to Hillary Clinton’s 46.5%.

When 83% of new registrants are either Dem or Independent and women are outpacing men by over 15% that is not a good sign. Obviously it is still early though.

@Redistrict
In May,
@CookPolitical's House outlook was a GOP gain of 20-35 seats. Based on recent developments, we've revised our outlook to a 10-20 seat GOP gain, w/ Dems maintaining control not out of the question.

If this keeps up, I might send Alito a thank you card(covered in turds).
