2022 midterm election results *** OFFICIAL THREAD ***

[Anti Federalist]

If mankind ever does return to traditional American values, it would take a miracle. A culture that prioritizes individualism and liberty are anomalous within the broader context of the species. Mankind will continue, but it will continue as it always has - arranged in hierarchies built upon collectivist cultures

Somebody gave Mrs. AF a copy of Battle for the American Mind: Uprooting a Century of Miseducation.

Now, I'm hesitant to quote from a ghost written book authored by a Conservative Inc. grifter, but they do make a very valid point concerning that word, "values".

Basic thumbnail of the point they made: Marxist theft of the language has stolen the word that goes there: "virtues".

Diversity and "inclusion", i.e. "That insane fat man in a dress is actually a woman and you must address it as so, in the name of tolerance" is a "value".

Thrift, individual independence, a strong work ethic, wisdom...these are "virtues", all of them and more used to form the basis of an educational padeia that was the foundation of Western Civilization.

Now they reduced from "morals" to "values", no different than any other.

Diversity and "inclusion"

This always grinds my gears.

These two words, "diversity", and "inclusion" are diametrically opposed - they cannot sustainably co-exist.

The only way those two things can co-exist, is if one chooses to define "diversity" purely by skin color.

Inclusion is necessarily the death of any meaningful form of culture.

One could even make the argument that culture is defined by intolerance and exclusion.

Piquant observation.

When your candidate loses to a guy who is literally brain damaged, there could possibly be an issue with your candidate.

To me it says a lot about the avg voter in that state , just as schumer does in ny

Quite a lot of irony in the brain damaged Dem winning (PA) while the brain damaged Repub loses (GA). Can anyone still honestly say they don't think Trump is and always has been a trojan horse? Everything he does and pretty much ever did damages the GOP yet there are still posters here carrying his water.

Having said that......lol@voting. Shit's been rigged since the fake Bush/Gore election drama created the excuse to introduce the machines.

1000!

This was based upon the November general election exit polling for the Georgia Senate (Walker/Warnock/Oliver) race

 

[nobody's_hero]

You know it's kinda odd I've voted since I was 18 (almost 20 years) and I've never been approached by nor seen anyone doing an exit poll. It's a rural town though. I wonder how they conduct those and have anything near a broad sample size, assuming they stick near major cities.

Only asking because I think the latinos are shifting in Georgia to republican (not as fast as Florida's). But that probably doesn't apply to the metro areas.

I definitely don't believe that fewer latino men are voting republican than latino women.

 

[devil21]

1000!

And they're running a variation of the same playbook in order to introduce the already-created USPS blockchain (smartphone?) voting system. My guess is it'll be publicized widely next year for eventual use in the 2024 election cycle. I'd expect Elon and Donald to be the major mouthpieces for it so Republicans buy into it as the solution to the rigging problem.

The most shocking Senate result: Every incumbent won

One of the most common refrains in politics is voters hate Washington and want outsiders to be elected to office. But Sen. Raphael Warnock’s victory in Georgia’s Senate runoff on Tuesday is part of a trend that suggests that, at least in 2022, that wasn’t true.

Each of the 29 Senate incumbents who ran for reelection won. This year’s Senate elections marked the first time in at least a century in which no incumbent senator up for reelection lost.
...
Like in the Senate, incumbent governors across the board seemed to do historically well. There was just one governor who lost reelection (Steve Sisolak of Nevada). That one loss marks the fewest losses by sitting governors in cycles in which at least 10 of them ran since at least 1948.

Thanks for that.

I think we too often focus on R vs. D. I'm much more interested in the incumbency reelection number.

In 2020, it was 94.7% in the House and 83.9% in the Senate.
In 2018, 91% in the House, 84.4% in the Senate.
In 2016, 96.7% in the House, 93.1% in the Senate.

After what our government (both parties) have done to us over the last few years, I'd like to see that number under 80% in both chambers, but I find that incredibly unlikely.

To all the Blue vs. Red people, enjoy your horse race. But this is what I'll be watching.

Thanks for that. Here's the update charts: https://www.opensecrets.org/elections-overview/reelection-rates
94.5% in the House and 100% in the Senate.

But again, let's make sure that we remember that these elections are not decided upon the candidates running, or any platform stance, or anything of substance. They are decided based on the voting rules in each jurisdiction. More than anything else, that's what gives you the biggest advantage. And of course the voting rules are made by people who want to retain power.

For reasons mentioned earlier, we will not have a Sulla.

Perhaps an Elagabalus, then?

FTA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elagabalus#Marriages,_sexuality_and_gender

Dio says Elagabalus delighted in being called Hierocles's mistress, wife, and queen. The emperor reportedly wore makeup and wigs, preferred to be called a lady and not a lord, and supposedly offered vast sums to any physician who could provide him with a vagina.

That is only a matter of time at this rate.

When can we start electing horses to the senate?

(I am aware that Caligula was assassinated before the horse could be elected, but it was on the table. Electing animals would be an upgrade for this country.)
