TLR 2022 midterm election watch thread

That bytch was endorsed by Trump, and backed by the DeVoses. She wasn't winning shyt. She needs to be glad she finished as close as she did because at on point she was getting her ass handed to her by damn near 20 points.

I was worried about James Craig slightly but now I know he would’ve lost worse

Republicans are idiots.

Biden is a old deeply unpopular President and the country is experiencing inflation not seen since the late 70's/early 80's. That alone should give Republicans 30 to 40 seats in the House.

-Roe vs Wade overturned by the Supreme Court hurt Republicans
-Republicans not bushing Trump after January 6th and re-branding their image as a sensible party, and instead embracing Trump, January 6th, extremism, election denial and threats to overturn elections, and authoritarianism. Turned off voters.

The Republican party is still likely to win the House by maybe 5 to 10 seats due to gerrymandering,. But its still a big letdown.

I will say that Biden cancelling some student loans may have helped with youth turnout.

Biden is hard to campaign against

unemployment is too low for inflation to be a voting priority And independents know republicans are not the answer to inflation

I'm not sure about that. I dont think anyone cares about unemployment. Inflation is something you literally feel when you go to the grocery store.

Most Florida Cubans believe that all Democrats are communists and socialists. They're not voting for Democrats whatsoever.

The most eye-popping outcome – and one that demonstrates the breadth of DeSantis’ appeal in the eyes of Sunshine State voters – came in Miami-Dade County, which is heavily Hispanic and historically a huge source of Democratic votes.
Republicans had made gains there in recent years: Hillary Clinton defeated former President Trump there by 29 percentage points in 2016. DeSantis did slightly better in the 2018 governor’s race, losing the county by 21 points. Trump made inroads there in 2020, losing by just 8 points. But a GOP candidate for governor hadn’t actually won Miami-Dade County since Jeb Bush in 2002.

The political reality is straightforward: Democrats have no realistic path to victory in statewide races in Florida without big wins in Miami-Dade County. That reality makes county’s outcome into an exclamation point on a dominant GOP performance.

DeSantis’ win comes as a battle over the future of the Republican Party takes shape, with Trump signaling a potential 2024 announcement next week. Exit polls in Florida showed that 45% of the state’s voters would like to see DeSantis run for president, compared to 33% who want Trump to run in 2024.

The above was taken from CNN, maybe those Cubans who are loudly anti-democrat weren't voting in huge numbers like that until recently or the ones who have been voting were always democrat and for whatever reason didn't vote or switched to republican. The underlined in your quote though is still true, but I guess the question was, outside of their racism and verbal opinions on politics how many actually hit the polls?

Side note,

Caring about inflation and thinking republicans are the answer to the inflation issue are two different things

ROE VS WADE

And when they finally reverse affirmative action and make laws targeting racial inequality illegal I hope that be the push to get black people across the nation to stop free thinking, start critically thinking; stop babbling on the internet about white supremacy but then turn into an agreeable "free thinking" puppy dog to those same white supremacists when it's time to make them eat shyt at the polls and elect the government we need.

This whole country needs a big wakeup call.

I see this everyday with my cousin. She claims to not like YT and everyday posting some shyt about how YT is doing Kyrie and Kanye, but when asked to vote it’s “democrats this democrats that” and “what’s the point of voting they’re both racist” then the bytch said she had no opinion on Jan 6.

All of you should fight for a straight party option on your ballot in your state like it is in Michigan. Ranked choice voting is best, but this is good. Dems need to do whatever to force through the John Lewis act

So what's the word on the House...how many seats are the GOP going to win by?

I've noticed a lot of white guys who leaned left when they were younger get real conservative around age 30 for some reason

I think most people get more socially conservative as you get older, especially when you have children, but the white men realize being Conservative is more beneficial to them, and when people are blatantly saying white men are the problem (which is true), it’s not in their best interest to say, “Yeah we are.”

Black people don’t become socially conservative

Frisch only up by 4000 votes in with 90% reporting

 

[FunkDoc1112]

Seems Rethugs underestimated how much of an issue Roe v Wade would be

 

[CreepyMcCreeperson]

Black people don’t become socially conservative

Black parents aren’t as big on letting their children become trans, gay marriage,

CNN has it projected at 216 DEM / 219 REP . Which aint bad at all, considering all the naysayers each party contains. Very weak "majority" if these numbers hold.
