approximately 5 posts where all I argued was that insulting people you need is a bad idea for you to completely contradict yourself and show how you're just a dishonest troll.
have fun collecting your internet likes
Of course, per usual, you are contradicting yourself. It's obviously contradictory to argue we're ****ed b/c of someone like Castro in TX- which you did - but then claim you're pursuing Haley voters and F the progressives. You either need the progressives or you don't. You're here acting either way when whenever it suits you in the moment.
Quintessential Motown Bombers dishonesty.
Good point so the choice is now:
Pursue Haley voters by insulting other voters you need or
Pursue Haley voters by not insulting other voters you need
So yeah I still think your choice is a poor one
If I were a political strategist for the republicans I'd pat you guys on the back and thank you for the help.
Insulting the people who's vote you need & want is a tried and true strategy for victory. Keep up the good work.
Mitch doesn't want to shut it down right now but he has been part of it in the past.
How could it be worse? I think it's very realistic that they refuse to vote on any Democratic president's judicial nominees - at any level.
I think there will be 2 factions and the top candidates for each faction will be as follows:
Crappy faction: John Thune or John Barasso
Even Crappier faction: Cancun Cruz or Mike Lee
That's not my theory, I don't think any of that is prima facie good but I could see some good around getting rid of the filibuster but that's not a single edged sword.
The theory you raised about them being so ****ty they get voted out was first proposed in this forum way back in the day by Couga (aka Mellencamp) around 2016 or 2017. I don't see it in the media or here very much but I distinctly remember him saying that and thinking.... "that's interesting.... we'll see!" and given how crappy MAGA does in elections he may have been correct.
I don't know that the Senate will be so susceptible though given it's extremely undemocratic nature and 6 year terms. I think the only reason the Senate is so close is b/c the GOP can't help but run crappy maga candidates.
I agree with 95% of that but what I will disagree with is that Cocaine was super frickin good at his job, whereas incompetence and self-sabotage is a defining feature of MAGA. So I'd anticipate a bit more fail on much crappier goals.
That said, I think the following would happen in the senate under Maga leadership:
1) They would never ever ever bring a Democratic president's judicial nominees forward.
2) They may block other cabinet appointments just because
3) They will nuke the filibuster if that's the only thing between them and something like a national abortion ban.
Biden bypassed congress twice.

there were 3 checkboxes on my slip, Democrat Ballot, Republican Ballot, and a third one with a longer description. The guy in front of me marked that third one and they said that one wasn't actually a possibility.
