Good. The GOP needs cleansing fire.

I've heard this said since 2010.

I think the Electoral College will come under attack. The DEMS will have all three branches and we'll see an amendment to abolish the Electoral College and switch to the popular vote. Which means the heavily populated urban centers will ultimately decide how the country is run. These urban centers (as we know) lean DEM so they will retain power if this happens.

The Schumer plan to turn the D.C. Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area into a new state means they will never have to go after the electoral college directly. Math baby!

Eliminating the electoral college requires a constitutional amendment, meaning a supermajority in both houses and approval of the states. They won't have that in the near future. Redesignating MSA's into states can be done with simple majorities and accomplishes the end goal much faster. D.C> statehood will set the precedent. Take California - turn San Francisco, L.A., and San Diego MSA's into new states and you net 4 new permanent D senators and most of the Representatives. That leaves what remains of "California" with almost all of the rural red counties. But their remaining population is so low they only have a couple of Representatives.

Take the map you posted, carve out a handful of the deep blue MSA's until you have a 67% supermajority in the Senate, and Schumer and Pelosi are done.

The Swamp Strikes Back. A soviet xerdame, if you can keep it.

Pretty much the purpose of all this election BS, IMHPOV.

People seem to forget about the fury last election of Trump winning through the Electoral College, while Hitlary had supposedly won the popular vote. If TPTB can keep the hate going & the masses yelling at each other, then the elites can do what ever they want & anyone who actually notices will praise them.

 

[Ender]

We can pick out policies here and there but that fact is you are right. There is no difference as they guide the country slowly in one direction while playing the ignorant masses like fools watching their magic show.

Through continuous propaganda the people do not realize nothing has changed in centuries with the elite class system vs the peasant servants.

AMEN.

 

[Sammy]

Good! These 2 senators are RINOs anyway.
If the Republican Party wants to survive they should Libertarian on economic & far right on social issues & Immigration.

There will be a red mirage.

Followed by the inevitable blue shift, when absentee ballots are counted.

And the Republicans will claim there is fraud.

But they will have lost because they convinced their voters they shouldn't vote.

So, basically the same as November. These people are not the sharpest tools in the shed.

Told you so. Lol. That was the easiest prediction I've ever made.

How about regular destroying fire. What is it we're trying to save there exactly?

Nailed it!

Looks like my first prediction came true.

 

[Suzanimal]

Suzanimal delivers defeat to the dems , Danke buys me rounds .Mitch delivers you from evil .

Suzanimal was busy doing important shit and Danke....did nothing, as usual.

Sigh...it appears GA is blue/purple...wtf? For what it's worth, I voted R. I'm not really into voting (indifferent) but if it makes Mr A happy and get me some free margaritas, I'm in.

 

[Suzanimal]

The Marxists will win handily...in fucking Georgia of all places, indicating once again how this is not McGovern's 1972 America.

The Rubicon has been crossed in too many significant ways, there is no turning back, and this is no longer my country.

Yes, thanks to all the Yankee transplants.

 

[Suzanimal]

I think I've bitched about the Yankee transplants who come here and want to change things. Fucking fccksticks. They hate the shitholes they came came from but vote for the same shit here. I'm sick of hearing about how much it sucks to live here - fine-, fucking MOVE.

As Lewis Grizzard (Atlanta columnist) said, 'I-85 and I-75 head north and Delta is ready when you are.'
