Their update said FEMA confirmed it. Lady needs to be jailed.
posted by Devils AdvocateWell, I guess if you’re gonna talk about mental states how about I start a “does Trump have Alzheimer‘s” thread? I am sure Jmog will show his significant knowledge and give us an assessment. I will pre-ban her lock geeblock from the discussion.
Not allowed to say that unless you are a medical doctor. You should know better than that.

Dude, you have beaten that to a fine, dusty powder. Please, please let it go.
posted by CenterBHSFanI think most people here were immediately repulsed by what the Dems did. Only a couple were openly happy to sit and watch it happen.
I might be over estimating that, though. Because come to think of it - only one name comes to mind.
A new narrative is in the works. It will begin in full sometime after the congressional make up is solidified. It will dominate media talking heads.

These people are devious and despicable. Biden had the audacity to call Trump voters "garbage." Probably shouldn't throw stones in glass houses when there's no level low enough that your party's voters will stoop to.
Harris has done zero contesting of the results. We know that would not have happened had the voting gone the other way. Several posters in here insisted she’d hold up the results by immediately suing if she lost.
posted by Dr Winston O'BoogieThe Dems are trying to sue in PA for the senate race, but more or less agree. A lot of the so called cheating allegations could also be relieved if certain states weren’t such shit at counting ballots. And in Arizona, I think it’s the repubs who made it so shitty.Harris has done zero contesting of the results. We know that would not have happened had the voting gone the other way.

You'd think they'd put up more of a fight if the other side is literally Hitler. Odd.
It's almost like that was bullshit the entire time

Not my point. The guy who won threw a shitfest onto our country last time and indicated he’d do the same again this time if things didn’t go his way. Whenever that last point was brought up on this forum, it was always met with an “oh she’ll pull the same thing if she loses. Maybe she won’t be as vocal, but she’ll do it through the courts.”
Well, she lost and that’s not what’s happening. So maybe even his strident supporters can acknowledge that others don’t handle losing like he does.

Both sides don't like to lose. Most of my voting life is rife with this stuff. Trump did not handle it the way he should have. The last time Trump won the other side subjected the country to the Russian hoax. It remains to be seen what this round will bring but book it it will come.
Boogie go email Liz Warrens office about it. Then AOC and Pelosi, Maxine Waters, etc
You know, the people with the actual power to contest an election? Those same people who have been rumbling and mumbling and insinuating for months?

Ok noted.
The 20,000,000 extra votes doesn’t help a lot. Nothing fishy.
In the grand scheme of things not many really rode it out. This election wasn’t close.
Kamala and the Dems are better losers if you want that noted. You should print up some shirts on that.

I wonder if Kamala would have tapped Josh Shapiro that he would have helped her bump through the stagnation of her campaign?
After watching the Walz/Vance debate, I thought Walz was way more relatable and likeable than Kamala was. But then he started getting called out for more of his lies and his own kind of weirdness. So, I just can't help if a younger, more articulated person would have helped her. I know he was too Jew for the moment, but he was just a better person imo. Plus, I think he could have helped her get some of those swing states.
Or am I completely wrong and her VP wouldn't have moved the needle in any way?

You missed the point, which isn't surprising.

Would've helped in Pennsylvania, but she still would've easily lost the other 6 swing states.
The truth is Kamala was just a terrible candidate, and her actual campaign was some how worse than her.
posted by CenterBHSFanI don’t see how it couldn’t have helped. They knew they had an issue connecting with men, and they went with a flamboyant goober, and tried to pass him off as “manly”. He didn’t even win his home county. The gender thing also played a big issue (3rd behind economy and immigration from polls I’ve seen) and he was awful on that. Shapiro seemed a lot more polished without the baggage besides his religion. He should be a front runner to run in ‘28. But not sure any of that would have had a measurable impact from Kamala hiding for months before speaking and then not being able to actually vocalize what she stood for or her policies.Or am I completely wrong and her VP wouldn't have moved the needle in any way?
Another question I have is this. I keep seeing all these reports of reliably blue counties in blue states that had moved to the right in this election. They are still blue, but much less so. Is this a one off thing due to the circumstances of this election or is there a chance that it's going to be a trend?

I think it's a purple shift rather than a swing to Repubs. I think more people are less beholden to voting straight ticket, every time, and are simply going to vote for the challenger when they are less than satisfied with the current Administration. Trump probably wins in 2020 if not for Covid.
It seems a lot of formerly reliable blue voters are fed-up with Dem woke policies, including DEI and climate change. They are no longer a given, and can't be herded into voting blue with the usual fearmongering. Many of them may have cast protest votes FOR Trump this election, but I think in the future they stay home unless a party specifically gives them a reason to turn out.
Dems need high percentages among Latinos and Blacks. I think the inroads Trump made was more about disgust with the Dems than a strong appeal from Trump. But if those voters no longer automatically GIVE their vote to Dems then they have a real structural problem in the electorate going forward without changing their approach.

If it was even remotely close you don’t think the Dems would have fought it?
Even back in 2000 they did with Gore. Both sides fight it when it’s close.
This wasn’t close.

Again, both sides do this when it’s close.
The Ds did it with Gore in 2000, and with Clinton in 2016.
Acting like Trump was the first in history to contest an election is moronic at best, lying at worst.
If this has been previously mentioned, my apologies, but it's possible that Supreme Court justice Sonia Sotomayer could retired before her next term due to failing health. There are rumblings, and it sounds like support for, Biden, while in his last lame duck months, appointing Kamala Harris to the Supreme Court if Sotomayer retires before his term ends, just to fuck with the Republicans. This is probably a stretch to happen as, I believe, all SC justices have previously been judges and Harris hasn't.
