The AZ vote was stuck at 54%. It just jumped to 66%, they dumped 12% of the total vote in the past half hour.

It's overwhelmingly going to Lake and Masters:



Of the 54,000 votes from Maricopa they finally posted, 70% going to Republicans. And vote split my ass, the totals are only 1-2% variant between all the Offices, State or National or Local by party. Which should make you suspect Georgia big league.

Laxalt will win. IF AZ goes red Georgia runoff is.the hail mary

MASSIVE difference. Denver in 2008 was clean and okay. It wasn't my bag, but it seemed clean and serene. Denver in 2017-2018 had homeless people up the ass, filth on the streets, etc.

I think it was the first legal pot state if I recall correctly. The only one in the country. So there was an element of people that flocked there in droves. Not bad people necessarily, but not the most productive. Honestly a lot of white losers that just went there to smoke pot. And that's not to say you're a loser if you smoke, but if that's your motivation to move to a state, there's a high probability you're a loser.

I was just out there in September. At least the airport. Since I've been going almost annually since 2015 to the airport and Denver proper and the Rocky foothill towns, I get a negative vibe. I first thought I liked the airport. Now it seems drab and everything is broken. Clearly all that weed money went to the schools (eye roll).

I love Red Rock for shows, but I'll spend all the money in the world to be in the VIP section if it's offered. It's usually jam bands, but god damn at 40 the people at these shows are legit losers. And that's the problem. Not Red Rocks specifically, but ANY jam band concert I go to around election time, the people getting you to register to vote is like an army. And they're not republicans, lets put it that way.

Republicans just don't do the register to vote thing in the right locations. These are easily manipulated younger people. Not a huge fan, but you need a Crowder like person going to these events. You've got 9k minds you can change sitting in one spot and get them to register. Republicans just don't do this.

That extremely stupid woman governor in NY won. Another reason not to set foot in NY again!

Only 43 write ins out of almost 2M votes? Maybe those are counted slower, but I know probably 43 people that would have done a write in here in IL for our governor. Our choice was a tank of lard that removed 20 toilets to reduce his tax bill and the republican sounded like an autistic hill billy. Down state Republicans NEVER stand a chance here.

It's almost as if the Dems have figured out a way to cheat in the Republican primaries at this point. Irving and Rabine back in the spring primaries were substantially better choices over the hill billy Bailey. The prior two I mention, I think would have beat no neck fatty JB fat fuck Prickzer. Plus I know them, so probably a slight bias, but I'm pretty confident one of those two would have won. The Republicans basically need to figure out how to get the right candidates in.

I thought 43 was odd too. Kari made a post after 4AM that looks promising.

How is there no movement in AZ? WTF

NYS/Media is holding 3 elections that are Republican, including one with 99% of the vote in and a clear lead for the Republican

Also, there's a Seat in Connecticut CD 5 that is 20% more to go, but half a point in favor of the Republican.

Naturally that's the only race in CT that hasn't been called yet, ha.

I see what's happening.

They're delaying all the Republican Gains, esp. in Blue States, while creating the "Red Wave doesn't materialize" narrative. Next week, with plenty of time to cheat, lose R ballots, and manufacture D mail ins, the Republican Candidates currently winning by 0.5-2% will lose by a hair (and just outside the mandatory recount margin if it exists), and thus it will be "Plausible" they would lose.

It'll cost us half a dozen seats.

you can't beat "something" with "nothing"
thoughts on the "red ripple" and american tribal politics

i know a lot of people were expecting a “red wave” but as i had been cautioning, that’s A LOT harder than it looks and despite massive and widespread anger at team donkey over the economy, inflation, covid, crime, schools, and 30 other things, in the end there is an old political adage that generally dominates:

“you can’t beat something with nothing.”
and with a few notable exceptions, the GOP pretty much ran “nothing” and this matters because US politics is mostly about inertia and “nothing goes nowhere.”

on the order of 80% of americans vote a “straight” party ticket of either all blue or all red.

it’s far less about “candidate” than about “team and about tribe” and to move people off their spot requires vast impetus.

you are not asking them to pick you.

you are asking them to change families.

you need a seriously compelling offer to get people to split from their party. the systemic structure and the societal mindset vastly favors staying put and to get the rock moving is a herculean undertaking.

in most cases, the characters are less important than one would think.



with a few notable exceptions (like ron desantis or rand paul or kari lake) the GOP did not really stand for much in any high profile or cohesive sense. they did not state as a simple positive “this is who we are, this is what we will stand for, and this is what we will do.”




changing teams requires a reason to join the new team.

and that was mostly absent.

there was no solution.

there was no dream into which to buy.

there was oz and walker blowing easy pick ups (though the latter may get a run off) in an environment where 75% of the country thinks it’s going in the wrong direction.

just agreeing with voters that “this is not going well” will not make them follow a candidate, much less leave their political family for a new one.

voters desperately wanted to get on board with a plan. but there was no plan.

there was the party of mitch fricking mcconnell who is about as inspiring as a bag of wet paper towels and vague hand waving from leadership.

my advice to team elephant is simple:

blaming "the system" or "mail in" misses the point.

people voted for courage, vision, and character.

go find some or get used to losing.

the absolute red rout in florida is telling. districts that NEVER go red went red because there was a leader. there was a vision. and there was a brave guy who stood tall and faced down the whole rest of the country and the federal government along with it to protect the rights of floridians.

there was confidence, swagger, and stature.

there was character.

and the people fricking love him for it. he flipped the “straight tickets” past crimson and into outright ruby and everyone got to come along, house, senate, and dogcatcher. ...

the gingrich congress was that wild rarity: real GOP congressional leadership with an actual plan that could be stated as a positive and taken to the american people as achievable agenda.

it was a doable program of vision, courage, and change.

and people will get behind that.

they drove a red wave in the face of the 2 bad years that began the clinton presidency by running on fiscal responsibility, freedom, and smaller government.

they drove this by taking it past hand waving and “ideas and ideals campaigning” by putting it all on paper as a cohesive agenda, making simple, explicit promises, and writing all the bills to be submitted, and making them available for inspection.

then they stood up, signed it, and promised, if elected, to run this exact playbook.




how, in the post covid world, this opportunity to stand up for balanced budgets, personal freedom, liberty not lockdown, and school choice not “schools choose what’s best for you” went begging simply baffles me.

Makes no sense. Love him or hate him Musk makes fucking self driving cars and lands reusable rockets. We still cannot figure out fucking elections? Seriously? I think a bunch of members on this forum or a few programmers I personally know could figure out a fool proof election system. It's retarded.

WookieMan says

Lol, it's not that we cannot figure out how to have secure elections, it's that the Democrats are dead-set against secure elections.

Looks like Patrick and I posted the same shit.

Yes, and others also had the same insight about the emptiness of the GOP.

https://dossier.substack.com/p/balkanized-future-midterms-deliver

Sure, it’s easy to scapegoat Donald Trump for all of the bad showings. But who is actually excited to elevate Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy into positions of power? What exactly is the GOP agenda, other than to slow down the Biden Administration agenda?

I think it was the first legal pot state if I recall correctly. The only one in the country.

It was. Pot is what changed it. Denver was a very affordable, quality place to live for so long. Being the first state to legalize it, it caused mass migration and pot industry innovation, which really juiced the economy and especially the housing market. RE prices were flat forever - like barely tracking inflation, but over the past decade after pot, prices have 2-3x. Before pot, a 1000-2000sqft SFH, 1-2 story + basement + large yard was the norm for $200k.

I have a lot of family in the area, and spent a lot of time there as a kid. I dont recall seeing any homeless back then, ever. But theyre everywhere now. Although, some cities oppose the homeless and have laws against it, and so they just goto the neighboring city and hang out there. So its spotty where you see them, and some suburbs dont seem to have any.

I'm surprised RE prices are still surging. So many other states legalized pot, and so Denver's claim to fame was only exclusive for a few years. But somehow, it continues to grow. I think much of the growth is now from illegals, and no longer pot. Denver has become very blue, and I see illegals everywhere here now, when it was almost all white people 20yrs ago. I gave some gardeners working on my neighbor's yard a jump start a few months ago. They were very friendly, but one couldnt speak any english at all, and the other just barely - it was hard to communicate. Very fresh over the border.

It looks like CA here now, with homeless tent encampments on certain sidewalks, under bridges, and on the triangles of grass from freeway on/off ramps. You would think the cold snowy winters would prevent homeless, but it doesnt. Lots of druggy types with wild eyes walking the streets.

Still no movement in AZ? WTF

They are gauging their fraud and the impact it will have. Will this be the election fraud coup that puts them in the clinker? Should they allow the correct results and beg for mercy?

I think it is the calculus of useful idiots caught in their web of treason trying to figure the best way through for themselves, not completely trusting their puppet masters any more it would seem.

Patrick says

Shit, like I mentioned elsewhere, I just realized that they never asked me for ID.

What's funny is that to check if my mail in ballot has been counted, I have to enter my driver's license number on the county website.

I just realized that we don't need AZ if Walker wind the run-off. Laxalt has won and with Walker winning the run-off the Republicans will be at 51, which is the majority. So all in all not that bad as long as they reach 51 and Kari Lake become governor (likely). Prost!

cisTits says

All hail pussy hat voters, noble gynopatriots of the Soy Republic and Karentocracy.

The demographic that consistently vote for tyranny over any other?

College-educated women.

The new election theft cover to emerge in the past twenty-four hours?

Baby killing.

Patriarchy has a reason for existing. Give them freedom, and they make the shittiest decisions and shoot themselves in the foot.

Watch NV, plenty of "ballots" "found". Hope it holds and the fix isn't in. Cheers!

A flash from the past. Anyone with half a brain would know what happened. Trust takes a lifetime to build and an instant to lose.

They obviously do not give a flaming shit about their minions generating treason being paid to carry out the election fraud. The Globalists believe that they will have the country destroyed before any slow walk remedies can become effective or even any perps effectively prosecuted.

Look at AZ, GA and PA: all just flagrantly continuing without even a blush of concern about prosecution.

Fetterman IS an excellent candidate for President. He is even a more demoralizing infliction of ritual contempt for the American People than either Obama or Biden.

On the good news side, looks like Boebert pulled ahead and may retain her seat. If Walker wins the runoff and we get to 51 that's all I want at this point, and Kari Lake to win AZ. Then I'd say it qualifies as a tempered red wave

In addition to abortion, those who wished to express, via ballots, their anger at the Corona abusers and opportunists faced strong headwinds.

First, most people vote by heritage. Statistics show that people are far more likely to adopt their parents’ political affiliation than they are to embrace their parents’ religion. While people like to think they make up their own minds, the sociopolitical grousing that seven year-olds hear at the dinner table resonates for a lifetime.

Second, people vote by self-identity. People like to consider themselves to be young and cool. Young people can’t bring themselves to vote for Republicans because doing so would make them feel unhip and different from their peers. Additionally, most young people haven’t worked hard enough to think about paying high taxes.

Given the foregoing, there aren’t many persuadable voters left. And Democrats are the party of the rich. They have multi-fold more money to spend on ads and electoral tactics than do Republicans. And the media’s in the bag for the donkeys.

Still, it’s easy to be disappointed by the very short memory people showed regarding all of the destructive, oppressive government Covid-zero edicts of the past 32 months. And it’s easy to be astounded that Democrats elected, to a six-year term, a senator who can’t even process basic concepts or coherently express simple ideas. Though he may end up being a visible symbol of vaxx injury.

People need to stop thinking that governments have all of the power to determine how the world works. Yes, governments hold a lot of cards. But governments can’t function without mass compliance. There are way too many of us to control without mass-fining or imprisonment or turning automatic weapons on us. They aren’t ready for the latter two options. At least not yet. And people could easily jam the courts by challenging various forms of governmental chicanery.

Overall, people needed to, and still need to, generally say “No” in their everyday lives. Part of this can be done by simply by refusing to obey. For example, people could have stopped the employer vaxx mandates in their tracks. If 20% of workers had refused to inject, their employers, schools, hospitals, garbage collection, transportation and every other sector could have been shut down. If this had happened, the mandates would quickly have disappeared, without any litigation or regulatory carve-outs.

Active opposition could also have changed the Scamdemic’s course. Parents and others could have picketed closed schools. Those with means could have—as some did—enrolled their kids in private schools. Scofflaws could have filled police-taped parks. People could have walked maskless through stores in such large numbers that the employees couldn’t have harassed them all. People could have displayed protest signs in their dwellings’ windows and on their cars. They could have written messages in public spaces. With chalk, of course.

The central problem was that too many people foolishly believed for too long that the virus threatened everyone and that lockdowns/school closures, masks, tests and shots were good ideas or that these measures would promptly be lifted.

Too many others were happy to get free money to stay home. This is where Trump and many other Republicans messed up. They never should have opened the Coronamania door by agreeing to even a two-week shutdown. Nor, via the CARES Act, should they have printed six trillion dollars to underwrite viral theater. They shouldn’t have subsidized hospitals or undertakers to encourage the misattribution, to Covid, of deaths of old, sick people. The Republicans should have leveled with people about, and exposed people to, the true economic—and therefore, human—costs of inducing a societal coma. They shouldn’t have economically anesthetized society to render it unaware of the actual costs of locking down. Trump also shouldn’t have pushed Operation Warp Speed or boasted about the lousy shots. When smarts and conviction were needed, he was naive and weak. His political days should be done.

Electorally thumping the Democrat Corona authoritarians would have been nice. But many Republicans also underperformed during the Scamdemic, though for a significantly shorter time.

Regardless, there were—and still are—many ways beside voting to let other people and government know that you disagreed with the craziness, and still do. Overall, and throughout, people have been too passive and afraid to disagree, to defy obviously abusive governments or to make a scene.

Peoples’ slowness to see the Scam, their naive belief in the Covid interventions, and their timidity and passivity hurt us worse than did the recent election. Though those of us who spoke against, and by their actions defied, the madness had an uphill battle because we were in the minority.

Good news! In light of the relatively good outcome for Democrats in the 2022 midterms, there have been no claims about Russian interference in the election. Russia is accused of interfering in Our Democracy only when Democrats do not win.
