[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

She should have found herself a husband and started a family. She sure as crap wouldn't be having this problem at this moment.

Of course, the family is a bad thing to a liberal that wants to screw everything in sight.

I voted no. The republicans will narrowly hold on to the house by around 5-10 seats. You'll all look foolish after the election. Mark my words.

How is that any worse than what you see in the Wisconsin threads with the terrifying overconfidence about Walker's downfall?

Walker was the one who should have been terrified.

It's interesting how in America "Asian" always means East Asian, while in Britain "Asian" basically means Pakistani.

In North America, most "Asians" were historically Chinese.  In the UK, they were Indians and Pakistanis.

Yes, we did get the better end of that stick.

Open racism from dull0! Should be no surprise considering he is a "libertarian".

[Old Man Willow]

It will be the tipping point state but it’ll be a Trump win with 344 EVs, everyone will talk about Connecticut voting for Trump and only political junkies and FiveThirtyEight will acknowledge that Arizona was the tipping point state

The economic anxiety just oozes from this photo.

[OSR stands with Israel]

The rumor I'm hearing is that Democrats may try to censure him, which is probably their best option. Congressional GOP leadership won't do anything to him.

That just looks like the opposing party setting down all free speech and is a horrible optic. You should never do that.

Hate speech isn't protected by the first amendment.

[Sirius_]

We've got Hillary and other neoliberals to thank for weakening the Dems to allow the GOP to get to this point.

[IceSpear]

I do not want Fuzzy Bear banned because he is a Republican. I have no issue with that.
I do want Fuzzy Bear banned because he is a Trump supporter. I fully admit that I want an echo chamber in this regard.

[Kyle Rittenhouse is a Political Prisoner]

Clearly the lesson from this year, in which 5 incumbent Senators lost, and 3 more came dangerously close to losing, is that #IncumbencyMatters

Incumbency doesn't matter. This election has convinced me that "fundamentals" are a more important factor, than anything else. The reason why >90% of incumbents get reelected is because they generally reflect the state or district in which they are running. It comes down to that.

Economic anxiety made me do it.

Except he's largely (not entirely) right.

[America Needs a 13-6 Progressive SCOTUS]

war has also saved millions of lives

[Politician]

To be honest, I would have voted against this amendment had I lived in Michigan, because I thought Democrats were going to take the trifecta.

[Stand With Israel. Crush Hamas]

war has also saved millions of lives

It's called WW2, Solid.

[The Dowager Mod]

Proud Boys are not a hate group in any meaningful sense.

If Heller ran as a Kasick type Republican he would have lost at even greater margins

[IceSpear]

The people propping up Bryce and that made him a meme mostly think like IceSpear.

[IceSpear]

It's not just the pandering. It's the fact that (and IceSpear, DTC, and I warned everyone of this for the whole cycle) he would get destroyed once the arrests and child support payments (or lack thereof) came out. But a ton of hacks on here insisted otherwise.

Anyone who would actually care about this type of non-issue is someone who was never going to be voting for a Democratic candidate for Congress ever anyways.

Child support is a fascist system, and refusing to vote for a candidate because they have been the victim of such a system is reprehensible.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

I’ll keep my one October holiday. We already get Veterans Day and thanksgiving in November. And Ocasio Cortes is a disgrace to the Hispanic empire Columbus ushered in. She owes her existence to that man

I owe my existence to slavery, but does that make it a good thing?

Would you rather not exist?

[GM Team Member and Deputy PPT WB]

Can you get any more racist than this?

If she thinks we should change Columbus Day maybe she should change her game too. She shares her name with none other than El Gran Conquistador, HERNAN CORTEZ

[Politician]

Trump 47-41

Get real. Not even McCain got as low as 41 in the massive 2008 wave.

Dole got 39%

That was with a strong third party taking votes from him. There will be no strong left wing third party dragging down our nominee to 41% in Wisconsin in 2020.

No, but John Kasich will.

Kasich is not running a third party bid, and he would take virtually nothing from Dems because Kasich is a right winger. Dems will be united to take down Trump anyway.

He will and virtually 0 Trump voters will go to him. The left leaning independents that will get put off by whoever the communist or just bad nominee is will go heavy for Kasich.

[Politician]

In the context of where Trump will gain in 2020:

Suburban areas turned off by how left wing the democrats are.

[Coastal Elitist]

Republicans in California are like wild animals. You can find them now only in deserts, mountains, and forests.

[Politician]

I wouldn’t be surprised. California has been brainwashed by communists and will be voting Democrat 72-28 soon.
