Until then, keep yelling into the void about how the current strategies would work just fine if it wasn't for those unfair libs, I guess This is kind of a weird thing to say, after I flat-out said that I'm not an electoralist. No one's denying that Turner ran a bad campaign; obviously she did. But it's strange to me that you're denying that dark money had an effect in the outcome of the race.

For some reason this made me think of when my daughter realized Santa wasn't real, but still fervently believed in the tooth fairy. There's something about that that just makes me chuckle.

If the districts stay the same it will be 45% of the votes getting 64% of the state legislature. Hell it probably be worse. https://twitter.com/patrickdmarley/status/1465799023474970636 https://twitter.com/patrickdmarley/status/1465818586509938692

I don't think new inflation numbers have come out yet, but this should be highlighted: If 6% CPI inflation, 5% ex-food and energy is causing liberal elites to panick-snap back to austerity and cause, along with the new covid wave, a recession that will guarantee the return of Trump and friends, no leftist (frankly no-one period) should vote for a Democrat ever again under any circumstances

Kalit posted:I never denied it had an effect in the race 6 points = 4,000 votes. Like I said, it was a low turnout election. Brown benefited from a high turnout among conservative Jewish voters, who were partially driven by DMFI's smear campaign against Turner. e: Public Citizen agrees with me - quote:Craig Holman, an ethics lobbyist at progressive watchdog Public Citizen, said the outside spending by DMFI was upending the race. “Nina Turner had been enjoying a comfortable lead for Congress in this Ohio district, reflecting her constituents’ support for progressive policies such as Medicare for All and the Green New Deal,” Holman said. “But that lead has been fading as the Democratic Majority for Israel super PAC has raised huge amounts of special interest money from outside the district and is spending much of that money late in the election cycle targeting Turner.” Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Calling American Jews a "foreign power" is pretty yikes.

Brown benefited from a high turnout among conservative Jewish voters, who were partially driven by DMFI's smear campaign against Turner. And like I stated before, it was not a low turnout. It was about the same as 2020 and was higher than 2018. And, like I stated before, if you want to complain about low turnout, you should complain about Turner's campaign not motivating new people to turn out for this primary. Which, if that's the case, we would have had the same election outcome without the dark money. Majorian posted:e: Public Citizen agrees with me - quote:is spending much of that money late in the election cycle targeting Turner.” So probably started spending much of that money after Brown had caught up in polling? Yep, that totally supports your claim! Kalit fucked around with this message at 04:03 on Dec 1, 2021 |

Bugsy posted:If the districts stay the same it will be 45% of the votes getting 64% of the state legislature. Hell it probably be worse. Dems got 45% of the state assembly vote in 2020, and 45% in 2016. Can't find numbers for previous years but the basic problem is Democrats aren't competitive anywhere in the state outside of Madison and the city limits of Milwaukee. I actually went back and looked through older election results and Dems have essentially never been competitive in the northeastern quadrant of the state with Green Bay and such despite it being reasonably urbanized. Dems won Brown County (Green Bay) in 2008 and 1996, has been R every other presidential election since 64. Historically the Dems were actually more competitive in the truly rural-nowhere northwest circular part with mining and logging camps and poo poo. Non-gerrymandered maps would still produce Republican majorities most of the time except in wave years like 2018 icantfindaname fucked around with this message at 04:05 on Dec 1, 2021 |

Those were also low-turnout races. quote:So probably started spending much of that money after Brown had caught up in polling? Yep, that totally supports your claim! The quote I posted attributed Brown catching up in the polls to dark-money attacks on Turner.

Honestly at this point the problem isn't that chuds are doing it but that the Dems aren't because it has full legal blessing now. Illinois should be every seat except for 1 in Chicago proper and the rest of the state having just one, for example. Let the chuds experience congressional representation as I have my entire life imho

This was ridiculously ill-conceived from the start and it was obvious when they announced this that allowing automated takedowns was going to lead to this exact outcome. It's a good thought, but terrible execution.

Here's some horrible nightmare fuel of the school shooter trying to lure out a classroom full of students after he already killed three people by pretending to be a cop telling them that the shooting was over and they needed to come out. https://twitter.com/Phil_Lewis_/status/1465802106867269634 I was around for Columbine, so school shootings aren't a new invention, but cell phones and the increasing frequency of school shootings makes it impossible to imagine what going to school in 2021 is like. The calmness of all the kids is the most terrifying part. Leon Trotsky 2012 fucked around with this message at 04:27 on Dec 1, 2021 |
