US Midterm Elections Megathread III: Hitting The Wall

[Caracasus]

Apologism for a white supremacist. Very passive-aggressive.

Are questions apologies now?

Of course not. Spencer is a terrible example to use.

So, why is Spencer a bad person because you disagree with him. But people I disagree with aren't?

I think the thing is Spenser is a bad person because he is white supremacist. He'd still be a bad person whether or not anyone agreed or disagreed with him.

[Shrillland]

I think he rigged the election. He ought to face a federal investigation

> Walker’s election was rigged.
> “Haha you’re just salty!”
> Kemp is winning.
> “Investigation!”

If only you knew the lack of self-awareness in this set of posts.

No, there's a real possibility that Kemp's actions in possible voter suppression may have given him the victory. The GBI's already investigating him because of his claims that the Democrats hacked into the system without proof.

[Arlenton]

Cnn has projected Jon Tester has won another term

I think it's clear we win the Mississippi runoff, so things come down to Arizona.

And Florida is being Florida still so maybe that too.

[Petrasylvania]

And we've established you don't think white supremacy is bad.

Man if that's what you've gotten out of it you need to take some night classes for English lol

You should do a little remedial English yourself if "deduction" and "inference" never occur to you as words, much less concepts. :^]

Kemp may have legitimately rigged things though. He did a lot of shitty things beforehand.

It ain't rigging if it's legal.

[Corrian]

Probably not. But it could move Nelson into hand recount territory. Who knows maybe Nelson ends up winning

and maybe Gillum might but i wont hold my breath. Im very disappointed in Florida

Gillum already conceded

Maybe Mississippi will flip but I doubt they will elect a African American senator as the state is too racially polarized. But its black population is much higher than Alabama so if they turn out in record numbers it could happen but again not holding my breath,

Republicans see free and fair elections as an annoyance

That's not completely true. If it was, Utah would've soundly rejected a redistricting commission as opposed to it being very close right now.

You're just totally missing his point though.

Like it's blatantly obvious what he's doing and you're either just incapable of understanding it or you're ignoring it and just trying to call him a white supremacist because you like to project.

No, if we take McDaniel's votes and make Hyde-Smith their 2nd preference, it isn't even close. She gets 58% of the vote in such a scenario.

Michigan approved a redistricting amendment.That has huge implications for 2022 as Michigan is one of the most gerrymandered states in the country. Democrats would likely have won the legislature if it wasn't for gerrymandering.

[Cannot think of a name]

Why are you using him as an example

The game is that Telconi's going to keep asking if you disagree with him, then when you say that you do he'll start jumping up and down going "See! See! You think he's bad because he disagrees with you!" and somehow this will prove something.

That Telc has the wind up key to Lumen and uses it like it's his favorite toy.

Democrats also got Wisconsin, which might be able to change the situation there.

it will as Evers will almost certainly veto another Republican Gerrymander.

That reminds me, I need to get all of those done....

Disingenuosly ignoring someone's record of white supremacy just to claim that disliking that individual solely boils down to disagreeing with their political views?

[Corrian]

I'm also curious how may state legislatures flipped nationwide. That's where I see the biggest gains must be.

[Great Franconia and Verana]

Overall I would suggest it was a decent night to be a Demcorat. Good numbers in the House with some good candidates.
The Senate was a bit more disappointing than I anticipated. I knew Donnelly, Heitkamp and McCaskill were in hot water, but their margins were larger than I expected. Sinema appears to have fallen short too.

I was only really surprised by Florida. I thought Nelson would be alright, and looking at Gillum's polling and the campaign in totality, it appeared he was on the path to a victory.

They'd need a horrible Republican like Roy Moore to pull another Alabama.

Cindy Hyde-Smith is not a Roy Moore, so the white population won't sit it out.

White nationalism is a political view. It's a perfectly valid point.

As far as I know the Maine Senate, Colorado Senate, Minnesota House, Connecticut Senate, New York Senate, and the New Hampshire legislature.

Is it reason?

I think there was Bradley effect to be honest.

What, uh, "record of white supremacy" is this?

"Jews Will Not Replace Us" is now a valid political view. Lovely.
