You have no problem asking us to clean our house, though.
There was little line a couple weeks back in Florida but we had 4 pages of questions. I voted for (or against) not only all the partisan elections but all the constitutional amendments and local proposals.
I didn’t vote for the supposedly non partisan local races, but in retrospect I should have asked the Democratic people just outside the no ad zone to name me a few important ones since I wouldn’t remember them all. In 2022 I did see which non-partisan advertisements were grouped together with Democratic candidates signs and voted for a couple non-partisan races based on that. I know that that’s not always something that works when you have a literal DINO running as a supposed Dem-leaning candidate, but it has a better track record than randomly guessing.
Congress still has to certify the results in January. Last time they did that we had an attempted coup.
I took it to be…whatever the opposite of a back-handed compliment is. A back-handed insult? In other words, meant to be complimentary.
I took it to be the equivalent of the nice guy sitting across from me at the poker table giving me friendly advice.
Maybe I’m entirely misreading it, bit I’m fairly certain Saint_Cad is beibtg tongue-in-cheek and saying that Harris has run a excellent campaign, and if and when the GOP returns to pre-MAGA normalcy, he wants the Democratic party to return to its historical ineptness.
That’s the way I read it.
Ah, if that’s true, then my apologies for overreacting. I’m a little on edge today for some reason.
I don’t know that I would want the party of Lee Atwater, Jesse Helms and Newt Gingrich to return to its “pre-MAGA normalcy” - that was pretty bad as well - but I’m quite sure that if it does happen, it will not have happened by “2028”, as @Saint_Cad mentioned originally.
Though I do appreciate the tongue-in-cheek nature of the post.
Our ballot was surprisingly sparse for a presidential election year. One house and one senate seat. A couple of local councils. A couple of board of ed. Absolutely no questions or ballot initiatives. There are usually a couple of minor ones at least.
I sincerely hope you are correct.
MSNBC won’t let me access their site unless I disable my ad blocker, so that’s out.
No. I just asked you Democrats to stop running really good - almost perfect - presidential campaigns.
I have ad blockers and am able to use the site.
At work I use ad blocker ultimate on Firefox.
Uggh…the next 8 hours, and the past 30 hours, have been so slow.
Can’t wait.
I know. Work day is dragging in the afternoon.
Dread going home.
Going to try to disconnect once I am home but we will see how that goes lol.
I got a library book yesterday to use as a distraction…
Yep. That’s exactly it.
This has been the best run Democratic presidential campaign I have ever seen. Ever since Biden dropped out and EVERY Democrat immediately got behind Harris for President, I was like, “Awwwww shit. They’re gonna give Trump an ass-beating.” That’s a good thing this year, but I don’t want it to contnue once we start nominating someone decent again.
I appreciate the tongue in cheek nature of the comment, and I agree with the sentiment. I think Democrats did as well as they could WRT what they can control. If Harris loses, it won’t be because of mistakes she or the Democratic Party made. It won’t be because Democrats got lazy and stayed home. It’ll be because the MAGA segment of the voting public (at least as far as it determines the electoral college), now outnumbers the non-MAGA segment of the voting public. And that’s a scary thought.
Yes, but the same time, if Trump wins, the Democrats are going to be confounded. If even running an A+ campaign for an A+ candidate against an F- candidate who ran an F- campaign didn’t result in victory, where do you go from there?
At that point you stop blaming the campaign(s), and directly blame the voters that put him in.
