LOL it's certainly not what you were implying. It would behoove you to start living in some semblance of reality again.
So you're saying that HRC and Stacey Abrams aren't deniers? This denier thing doesn't just go one way, no matter now much you're fixated on Trump.You want to straddle the line. Let’s be clear………election deniers are those that believe Biden did not win or did not win fairly. It’s not those who believe there were “irregularities”, whatever the hell you define that as. You want to expand the definition to make the deniers palatable to you and all the others here who believe the election was rigged but don’t have the stones to come out and say it……. but have no problem taking potshots whenever the subject comes up.
You'll have to excuse Bob. TDS has addled his brain. I think the Orange Guy has built a Condo between Bob's ears.It's getting hard to remember all the names. I thought I was a dumba$$, an arrogant tool and something else.
You feel good that Biden's in the WH. I sincerely hope that my brain NEVER degenerates to the point, where I can see what Biden's done to this country and feel good about it. That's a warped reality that I never want to enter.LOL it's certainly not what you were implying. It would behoove you to start living in some semblance of reality again.
There were a lot of people accused of being a conspiracy theorist…a whole lot of accusers on the whole Russian probe. Luck had it that truth was found out. Were those people conspiracy theorist after it was found out or only before it was found out about the FBI heads. Did their intelligence change dependent on finding out the truth despite all the media and accusers. True there are many bad takes, but sometimes there is enough info beyond the minds of many to have questions that others don’t consider…generally due to less relevant knowledge in the appropriate domain to see things others miss. How many conspiracies theorist thought masks wouldn’t work or that youngsters didn’t need the shot. Enough that there was pressure to get some real data out in the public. Some would argue that a person that is not sold on global warming or cooling being a significant event are conspiracy theorists and the lists go on and on.Intelligence, apparently.

There never is a shortage of people to label someone that has little background in the area to appropriately label someone. Some people use labels to try to cower people and stop meaningful dialog…like you are racist or a homophobe and that list too goes on. Count all the different approaches to “attempt” to stop dialog and you may need a lot of free time.
independent thought is important as is the relevant knowledge in the domain in question. It is hard to have higher, critical thinking without some background into the subject. If everyone thinks the same, only one is thinking..Takes intelligence, independent thought & unfortunately, time to get past the bad, inaccurate D media narratives.
Biden disaster >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>I’m tired of this BS energy independent argument.

U.S. Energy Independence Has Grown
Recently-released data from the Energy Information Administration shows that by one measure, U.S. energy independence increased in 2021.www.forbes.com
Conditions have changed? What conditions? Trump hasn’t changed. He’s the same guy you voted for twice. What’s changed is people like you are finally starting to wake up and admit to themselves he’s a disaster…….to your party and the country.
Or was it the mean tweets that changed your mind? “Orange man bad” has come home to roost.
I’d like to think that Donald’s picks’ performances in PA and other states would drive GOP leadership to decide to cut bait. It is not hard to say that the Hobbs abortion decision and Donald foisting numerous bad candidates in this election cost the Rs dearly.For me, this is perfect.
Republicans are likely to win the House. They might win the Senate, but it doesn't really matter. Either way, the margins will be so slim that a lot of the nonsense that the Freedom caucus might try to pull won't be able to overcome the few "RINOs" (the Republicans with common sense) who won't do things like try to impeach Biden because he's old, or spend congressional time investigating Hunter Biden.
Even if Herschel Walker wins the runoff in GA and the Rs win the Senate back, gridlock will rule the next two years unless both parties get their acts together.
So, we got to see the Democrats take a hit to their over-inflated egos and watch the progressives have to crawl back into their holes for a little while... but the best part?
Trump's hand-picked candidates - the most whackadoo ones, anyway - lost. They couldn't even beat weak candidates like Fetterman. And overall Republicans underperformed in this midterm IMO largely because of Trump's influence.
PERHAPS this will finally send the signal to the Republican party that Trumpism IS NOT the future. Independent voters will NOT jump onboard with election deniers, even in the face of this economy and general political malaise that the majority of the country feels.
If you want the votes, you're going to have to find your reasonable side again, Republicans.
And I say that as someone who voted Republican almost across the board except for our State Assembly member (the Republican was broadly unqualified IMO) and our Senator (who was just a goofy election denier). Every other position, probably 20 or so partisan candidates including House and Governor all the way down to the County Assessor, I voted for the Republicans.
And guess what? I did that while also voting for a right to an abortion in our state constitution as well as a tax on marijuana dispensaries in unincorporated areas! GET THE **** OUTTA HERE! You can vote for stuff that's not strictly along party lines? NAAAAAAAHHHH.
So take notes, dipshits. If you wanna win in 2024, you need to get the **** away from Donald Trump.
Ds also did a bunch of fearmongering and scare tactics as well. R politician X is going to take away your ability to have an abortion - even in hardcore blue states where abortion rights are codified in state law. It’s a bunch of horseshit.WWJD? Would he move the goalposts as much you’re trying to? Would a righteous parable be told to go along with it?
Republicans ran a bunch of election deniers. Some wormed their way through but many didn’t. Right now, the Republican Party is nothing but fearmongering and scare tactics. There’s no platform at all. None. At some point the party will have to decide if it actually wants to govern or eventually get wiped out.

R politician X is going to wipe out your Social Security and Medicare. Rs would not do that - it’s political suicide.
R politician X is going to destroy the planet by pushing for drilling for oil and natural gas.
The level of projection here is astounding.More of the big lies they pushed. They are good at it. And they know their crowd is so gullible.
Proof positive the Ds have a ton of low information voters who are so easily swayed by emotion over real facts & reality.
Nah. Y’all just put up really shitty candidates, ran on conspiracy theories and lies, and had no plans. Simple as that. But by all means, SD, keep trying to convince yourself otherwise. It’s working out great.Ds also did a bunch of fearmongering and scare tactics as well.

You could write this same exact post about the MAGA segment and it would be 100% accurate. It’s both sides. Lots of idiots out there in both parties. I just know one of them is lying about the foundation of Democracy.More of the big lies they pushed. They are good at it. And they know their crowd is so gullible.

For sure, Democrats don’t have anything that even approaches Qanon, Covid truthers, and election deniers.Agree with all that. We would likely differ on the number of idiots in each party though. Lol.
Where’s the Democracy in Biden handing out $10,000 checks to college students? Why not pass that through Congress?You could write this same exact post about the MAGA segment and it would be 100% accurate. It’s both sides. Lots of idiots out there in both parties. I just know one of them is lying about the foundation of Democracy.
The truth is the electorate is telling both parties they don’t want either direction overall. Biden is immensely unpopular - he has horrible policies that have driven rampant inflation, millions of illegal immigrants, and a backlash by parents against work extremism being taught in some schools. Trump is immensely unpopular. People generally don’t want MAGA, they want an end to election denial (although I must say the elections in CA and AZ are absolute shit shows - we are approaching a week after the polls closed and still don’t know a bunch of winners in races - unacceptable), they think Rs are pushing too hard to end abortion in some places, etc. They don’t seem to want immediate reprisals in the House against Hunter and the Big Guy.Nah. Y’all just put up really shitty candidates, ran on conspiracy theories and lies, and had no plans. Simple as that. But by all means, SD, keep trying to convince yourself otherwise. It’s working out great.
You guys love to talk about Biden and policy and how bad they are but you can never describe how. You can never bring up facts that support your shrieking. So all you can do is pivot to *checks notes * “woke extremism being taught in some schools”? Wtf does that even mean? That’s how I know you’re just another MAGA moron because you are incapable of talking about actual policy. Republicans have no one to blame for there being the opposite of the red wave but themselves because of the exact nonsense you just carried on about.The truth is the electorate is telling both parties they don’t want either direction overall.

The irony is that Ds usually complain about raw election totals favoring Ds and that it’s “undemocratic” that they win a majority of the votes but still don’t have more power. Last I saw, Rs got 54% of the raw vote in the 2022 election yet Ds got an outsized return in the results. Do which way is it? Who is really being disenfranchised?
The point is neither party is killing it right now.
BLM, ANTIFA, Pro Abortion, Climate change “peaceful protesters”………all agreeFor sure, Democrats don’t have anything that even approaches Qanon, Covid truthers, and election deniers.
You think you’re making a legitimate comparison. You’re wrong. That’s why the electorate sees republicans as stupid and crazy.BLM, ANTIFA, Pro Abortion, Climate change “peaceful protesters”………all agree
He gets lazier with his efforts with every post.You think you’re making a legitimate comparison. You’re wrong. That’s why the electorate sees republicans as stupid and crazy.
How rich is this? You’re the queen of shrieking on these boards. Constantly harping with emotional diatribes - and you almost NEVER talk about policy on either side.You guys love to talk about Biden and policy and how bad they are but you can never describe how.

I mean it’s really hard to believe that this wasn’t a winning message for you guys:
Sorry, SD. You wanna have a conversation about woke extremism in schools? Lmao. Get bent.How rich is this? You’re the queen of shrieking on these boards. Constantly harping with emotional diatribes - and you almost NEVER talk about policy on either side.
Probably, I think there’s a shitload in both and you likely only think so in one.Agree with all that. We would likely differ on the number of idiots in each party though. Lol.
And the dude that had a stroke wasn't?I will give you credit for saying abortion could be an issue. At least in PA EXIT poling said it was a large issue in the Senate race there....much more than pre election polls said it would be So in that one state you were correct. So that did not help OZ.....but really, all in all.... OZ problem was....he was just a terrible candidate.
That was before he had a stroke and his brain isn't functioning properly.Perhaps. I have not heard of any blemishes while he was PA Lt. Governor.
He’s gonna burn it all down to try and get what he wants.Supposedly Trump announcing candidacy on Tuesday? Seems like he learned his lesson……. Sad fart.
If the election methods get fixed and it's Biden vs Trump. I'd put my money on Trump.He’s gonna burn it all down to try and get what he wants.
He won’t be president again but he’ll damn sure split the party trying.
"If the election methods get fixed." Lol ... even after last week you still don't get it. Election methods and vote counts are not broken and never have been. Can there be imperfections? Sure. But there is nothing to fix.If the election methods get fixed and it's Biden vs Trump. I'd put my money on Trump.
Sad trombone sound for this post.If the election methods get fixed and it's Biden vs Trump. I'd put my money on Trump.
You mean all the changes made by Republican legislatures weren’t enough? You want another shot at it?If the election methods get fixed and it's Biden vs Trump. I'd put my money on Trump.
This is why Liz Cheney becoming a pariah (and many of the Trumpkins here who claim to not like him believe she is as well) is alarming. It’s a litmus test for whether you’re a MAGA cult follower or not: if you think Liz Cheney is a “RINO” or a sellout, then you’re just as much a part of the problem no matter how many times you claim to want Trump to go away."If the election methods get fixed." Lol ... even after last week you still don't get it. Election methods and vote counts are not broken and never have been. Can there be imperfections? Sure. But there is nothing to fix.
Here's a reality check for you: Republicans that are sane, reasonable, and yes conservative, can and do win big. Candidates like Kemp, DeSantis, Youngkin, and Rafensburger won and won big, and did so by running as far away as possible from Trump-inspired, anti-democracy conspiracy theories. Funny how election methods work just fine for conservatives that don't embrace whack-job theories. And Trump HATES them all for it. Moreover, the Democrats will continue to support Trump-endorsed conspiracy theory candidates through PACs because they know that those candidates are losers.
The American public in general prefers sane Republicans, law enforcement (yes, very much including the FBI and IRS), and the rule of law to looney tunes Trump. Hell, they even prefer mediocre Democrats to anti-democracy looney tunes Trumpers. When a candidate attaches to looney tunes Trump it scares the crap out of voters.
The American public sees a giant waving red flag as soon as Trump-inspired Republicans cannot resist reminding people that they are still obsessed with Trump-generated conspiracy theories.
Problem is, I’m not sure what republican policy is anymore.This is why Liz Cheney becoming a pariah (and many of the Trumpkins here who claim to not like him believe she is as well) is alarming. It’s a litmus test for whether you’re a MAGA cult follower or not: if you think Liz Cheney is a “RINO” or a sellout, then you’re just as much a part of the problem no matter how many times you claim to want Trump to go away.
Republican policy is largely appealing to me. Republican “leadership” is not, at the moment.
