I'm not sure state control is so great, a priori, of these things. Not sure why we can't just institute a really effective system that returns 99.9% vote counting on election day. End it then. (Yes, this requires that if you send in a ballot, it has to be received before or on election day. That's OK).

All of the January 6th impact was baked into the cake a long time ago. It amazes me how many people seem to think it's still an issue that will move votes.

I'm not saying that it hasn't moved votes. But any movement it caused occurred a ways back.

VP Harris wins in a landslide - EC 270 - 268, Popular vote 48.4% to 47.5%

Iron Mike - I know a guy who fought him very early in his pro career, lasted 2 rounds.

10-2 but no CFP, FANTASTIC YEAR

Bonus: Allred defeats Cruz offsetting the WV & Montana R pick-ups > Democratic Party cashes in on trifecta >Liz Cheney gets ring side seat in Cabinet

That's not a landslide - that's a squeaker.

Go Hoosiers!

Blind faith in a political leader

WhyisIUBBcursed
Through all the back and forth arguing that isn’t going to change anyone’s mind I’ve noticed the following: Not a single soul is espousing the greatness of Kamala Harris or excusing every misstep she makes or has made. But the number of lemmings who literally would fawn over anything and everything that DJT says and does is mind numbing and frankly nauseating. I can’t imagine being this enamored with another human being, especially one as crass and disgusting as that man who “just loves women”

It starts with common sense stuff like that.

Then it becomes a gun to wield against opposition when one party takes the White House.

“A Dropbox in every pot!”

“Justice department oversight of elections in former slave states!”

While I agree, state control of elections is a good thing. Best option is to continually shame PA, AZ, CA etc. for their ridiculous election procedures. Try and take back legislatures and governorships and put in common sense guard rails.

I tend to agree with you. Trump and Harris can only do harm to themselves by speaking. That said, it's better for our democracy the more each candidate speaks honestly about his or her world view and positions.

I think Trump would be better served by just going around doing those McDonald's type photo ops. They work for him somehow--he has a type of natural charisma that leads to at least one meme-able photo that puts him in a good light.

I'd like to hear a serious response from someone about why we in the United States should not strive to make our vote counting system more like Taiwan, etc.

The more I see the MAGA replies about our generals, I get why Ike didn't want the nativists to win in 52.


It all reminds me of the Birchers going after Ike. Welch accused Ike of being a communist. But Ike returned the Republican Party to sanity. Where is today's Ike?

When the Republican Party Was Sane

President Eisenhower inherited a GOP that looked much like today’s—but he tamed the extremists and led as a moderate conservative.
