2024 Elections: One Last Chance for Democracy

[Slap Shot]

Someone doesn't understand the definition of 'majority'.

[Jimjamesak]

At least that is looking good. And Peltola is going to a run-off. Why is there even another Democrat running to siphon votes in the first round? Know when to coalesce.

Guy is literally a convicted felon in prison who they tried to kick off the ballot and couldn’t.

Someone doesn't understand the definition of 'majority'.

Please enlighten us Mensa.


Majority /mə-j?r′ĭ-tē

noun

1. The greater number or part; a number more than half of the total.
2. The amount by which the greater number of votes cast, as in an election, exceeds the total number of remaining votes.
3. The political party, group, or faction having the most power by virtue of its larger representation or electoral strength.

The quote in question:

MAJORITY of the USA

News stories aren't exactly clear but it seems like this guy never even lived in Alaska? His damn registration papers have a residence address in South Dakota. I see the argument is used that you don't technically have to reside in the state until you're elected, but I don't get how the state even allows someone to sign up without an Alaska address somewhere on the page...

4. Not 49.90%

(I mean, not that it will do us any good at this point.)
(Also final tally is still subject to change.)

How clever and cute, such a gotcha. Even if you round up, still dont have the +1. I guess an overwhelming MAJORITY in the Electoral College will need to suffice for now. :-)

Just to put a bow on this thread ... despite rumblings that the DC Democrat franchise might be looking for new leadership going forward, Lucifer quells those rumors ex post facto, outlining xer vision for an increasingly dark future ...

Updated vote count released today shows that the repeal effort is now failing. It's barely by a couple of hundred votes but it has flipped.

Final count is in and the repeal failed by a whopping 664 votes.

Can’t wait to see another repeal effort in two years.

Can we make this a sticky too, mods? Y'know, as a constant reminder of who got it wrong, like on the Wuhan Flu??

Imagine if Tucker worked for CNN:

Speaking from Moscow, Tucker Carlson announced that he had completed an interview with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. As usual, Carlson spread pro-Kremlin propaganda, falsely accusing the United States of killing Russian soldiers and claiming that “We’re closer to nuclear war than any time in history.”

Imagine if Tucker worked for CNN:

There once was a time....

But Jon Stewart eviscerated him so badly he stopped wearing bow ties.

With a recount completed, Alaska will keep its Ranked Choice Voting system.

The repeal effort failed by a whopping 743 votes.

Rural Cosplay is a real thing.

Right after the election happened, I brought up that there are many, MANY people out there that feel like their lifestyle has been villified. I get that many here just blew this off, but the video shares some insight to how many people this view may encompass. This is a lesson that needs to be learned moving forward.

I get that most things "Country" are looked down upon in this small cross section of the world that is the USCHO Message Board. But this is one area where the cross section here is disconnected from the reality of the electorate. The people mentioned are the ones who flipped from 2020 to 2024 and put us in our current predicament.

And as I said, that speaks more to their insecurities and lack of self esteem than it does about the "liberal elites looking down on them". As I also said, you think anyone from NYC, LA, or Boston spends two seconds worrying about what people in Kaintucky think about their lifestyle? I'll give you a hint, they don't. You think anyone gives a **** when bumpkins make jokes about them and their 'avocado toast'? Again, they don't.

That's cause they're well adjusted, living their lives, doing the things they want to do, and don't give a crap of other people look down on them for doing so. Rural America needs to get over their feelings of inferiority and just worry about themselves. And we'd all be a lot better off of they weren't spending all their time sticking their noses in other people's business.

Live and let live. A good lesson for everybody. If it ain't affecting you personally, then mind your own business and leave other people alone. Worry about your own life, not everyone else's.
