WHO SHOULD YOU VOTE FOR...AND WHY?

According to the MAGA Republicans here in the forum, the Democrats have cheated them out of the Presidency; the Governorship of Arizona; the Senate seat from Pennsylvania; and a few other offices.

Hummm! They say the Democratic Party pulled that off against the Republican Party.

Okay, let’s say the MAGA complainers are correct…and that the Democratic Party leaders actually did that.

So ya gotta wonder…who do you want running your government? The leaders of the party that pulled that off…or the leaders of the party that got their lunch handed to them?

If the Democratic Party could do that to the losers of the Republican Party…just imagine what the leaders of Russia and China could do to them.

I’m a registered Independent…a capital “I” Independent. But I say: Vote for the Democratic Party. Get some efficiency in government.
 
I think it is a consequence of Republicans losing so frequently in national federal elections.

The Democrats have won the popular vote in every presidential election since the 1980s, except one.

The last three federal elections saw either a blue wave, or saw the Democrats outperform expectations. The last time the Republicans dominated a federal election was 2010.


The choices Republicans have is to admit there is something wrong with the policies they try to sell to the electorate, or claim that Democrat are cheating them out of victory.
 
I think that looking at individual states and seeing that the ones long controlled by Democrats are turning into massive shit pits, hemorrhaging population, losing businesses, engulfed in crime and poverty, and burdened with massive regulation and oppressive government are a better indicator of where the Democrat party on the federal level would take the nation.

Where your party still thinks Trump's violent coup attempt was a peaceful tour.

In the last election (2022) the republicans won the "popular vote", more folks voted for republicans than democrats across this great land of ours... of course they lost seats in the Senate because they won the wrong elections by huge margins and there is no such thing as a "popular vote".

It's called hyperbole and it's a way of exaggerating for emphasis what your responses almost always are. That is, you blame Trump in some way, or try to use a Tu Quoque fallacy and compare whatever the current subject is to something you believe Trump did or does.

That is simply false. Cities are seeing a resurgence in building and new businesses. Rents are soaring and hiring is healthy. One of the rightys favorite city hates is incorrect as they are growing rapidly in opportunity. https://mailchimp.com/courier/article/detroit/

People should vote for the party they think will best accomplish the changes they believe should happen. Now I would agree that the Democratic party is responsible for much change, the vast majority of which has been detrimental to America and Americans.

No government is efficient

1/3 rd of senate seats are up for election every 2 years. It is random if Dem or Repub seats are up. Senators are determined by the popular vote.

Seriously?

You watched the events of that day...and you can write those words thinking they are accurate?

You have got to be kidding, Yakuda.
