US Midterm Elections Megathread III: Hitting The Wall

[Liriena]

Suburbs are the worst though, seriously fuck the burbs so goddamn much.

Hey, we could build some left-right unity on this!

[Blackledge]

You want all Muslims deported from the United States and then suddenly care about a radicalized Muslim who was an active threat to the country who you'd want killed anyways getting due process? Oh right, gotta stick it to Obama.

I’m not saying I disagree with the order just that it contradicts the constitution.

I supported Obama but that doesn’t mean I can’t say he had faults. You’re literally what’s wrong with the democrats right now

I don't regret voting for Obama, but yeah that guy had a hell of a lot of faults. How he handled some issues is just crazy and disappointing.

well Keith Ellison won in Minnesota and will be a great Attorney general.

Apparently Gillum and Nelson are rescinding their concessions as their margins keeps getting narrower. Recounts are becoming likely.

Something something Florida and recounts.

[Thermodolia]

Is he a racist?

he literally said the day after the primary for Florida not to monkey up the state. I am very disappointed in Florida and will not forgive them for a very long time.

I’m very disappointed in New York for re-electing a corporate suit and I won’t forgive them for a long time.

Two can play at this silly game

On the topic of left-right unity, would it be impossible to build a party out of the moderates of both sides and saw off the fringes? Or is that heresy?

Cuomo or Gillibrand?

[Thermodolia]

You keep saying that demographics are not on the republicans side yet republicans continue to make inroads with Hispanics in states like Texas and Arizona

Meanwhile Republicans were decimated in Harris and Dallas counties. I guarantee Texas will be a competitive state by 2024.

I don’t know it might not

molinaro would have been worse

Is that allowed?

For what it's worth, I consider proper leftists to be a more worthy adversary. The USSR as well was a good enemy to have. RIP Red Ivan.

Did he say or do anything else?

Because I've seen teachers tell children to stop "monkeying around" and it didn't strike me as racist.

He is alleged to have moderated a hate group. He says he didn't know he was added to the group or made a moderator.

Telling children to not monkey around versus a black man will monkey things up? Referencing any of the other primate species is a bad idea when talking about somebody who is black.....

Cuomo. Can’t he just fade away into the distance?

The working rural - working urban coalition was truly fearsome.

What's wrong with Cuomo?

[Western Vale Confederacy]

Y'know, there was no blue wave or red wave, both sides lost and gained ground in certain areas, and they all seem largely content with their results.

Now it's gonna be a beautiful two years of both parties securing and entrenching themselves in their respective areas and politically deadlock themselves to a halt.

(Also, Pelosi as the Speaker is just ammunition for the Republican machine, especially if she dares bring up Trump's tax returns and subsequently fail to detect anything of worth)

That’s my dream team right there. Power to the people! Power to the workers!

Realistically speaking, a party of the "moderates" would be mostly comprised of unpopular establishment Democrats and a small handful of "never Trump" Republicans with no real power, and it would most likely lose everywhere. Neoliberalism isn't popular with the Democratic base or even most independents, nor is "never Trump" conservatism particularly popular among Republican voters.

What's wrong with Cuomo?

He’s a bland corporate suit who needs to retire

[San Lumen]

why should he fade away

[Liriena]

Cuomo or Gillibrand?

Cuomo. Can’t he just fade away into the distance?

Because he has it in his head that he's gonna be president someday... for some obscure reason.

It's not like a concession is legally binding. Gore did it.

If donnie can do it, anybody can.

yeah how dare we know if Trump has Russian connections. But i bet many in rural areas could care less. Trump could openly admit treason and and they wouldn't care.
