Pyrrhic victory thanks to the passage of Amendment 4
In 2 years 1 Million new voters will be added to the rolls. They will be mostly POC and they will have long memory’s of which political party forced them to jump thru hoops in a vain attempt to restore their franchise.
IIRC, voter instructions said they had to vote for President AND Vice President. So they punched the one with the arrow, and also the one above or below it. This fucking state.
See we told you Democrats were cheating…oh wait that means Scott won!
See we told you the elections were fair and honest!
Cocksucker Consistency
Used 51 million of his own money to get elected . Job pays 174 K
He will grift it all back
The Democrats responsible for approving the ballot in both cases should’ve been fired immediately.
And be held legally responsible for the losing parties campaign costs if it was the sole reason they lost. It would not happen again if their lives are ruined and they have to file bankruptcy due to their stupidity.
The thing is, all the focus on the recount, and the undercount and the ballot design and the signatures and all that assumes that underlying validity of the election. It ignores everything that came before the election, the deliberate disenfranchisement, the outdated and nonfunctional voting machines, the purging of the roles, etc. The conversation has shifted to whether Nelson has the votes, and he doesn’t. But everybody has moved on from the outrageous way in which the pre-election stuff and the election machinery were deliberately ratfucked. As usual.
That was 1.4 million out of which 875,000 were afro-american
Jim Crow 2 is dead
That is the last election Republicans win in Florida
We will remember
Don’t forget that douchebag Rubio. Talk about a triumvirate of scumbaggery.
Check Jared Golden’s press conference/statement after the announcement he won yesterday. (On YouTube). Press tried to get the guy to take the bait and gloat or punch down at Poliquin (as much as ME press does that kind of thing) and he took the high road multiple times. Even though Poliquin on at least four occasions just in one debate called Golden a “young radical socialist.”
And yet – almost 40 new Dems in the House, the Speakership, and every single committee Chair…
All rolling up their sleeves, inking the subpoenas, scheduling the hearings, and chomping at the bit.
Not to mention all the guv and lege flips heading into a new Census that will redistrict for the next decade.
And what did Republicans get?
A net two Senate seats.
Trump, his kids, and their GOP enablers are screwwwwwwwwed…
True. On a national level, we made some pretty great inroads.
On a State level, Floridians are screwed.
I don’t have as much faith in Pelosi going for jugular as you do.
So Collins and Murkowski become irrelevant in the Republican court packing.
That’s the glass half full approach, and we need to remember all of it.
If memory serves, it was her: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theresa_LePore
Personally, what I see is the fight, the race, the faceoff, the pitched battle between newbies and incumbents with overarching ambition and the old broad has been highly exaggerated because it sells, it gets eyeballs on the story, and it will end peacefully and sanity will be restored…
After Amendment 4, let’s say 20% turnout among those 1.4 million, and let’s say a 60/40 split. (I hope I’m being conservative.) That would be a shift of 56,000 votes.
I have no problem with her as minority or majority leader. Never have. I just don’t feel she’s a high drama person who will extract revenge for past wrongs. Or like I said, go for the jugular. For the long game, maybe that’s for the best.
Colorado is fantastic. I moved here in 2015, from Kansas, and have never regretted my decision.
I’m not an impartial observer. But high drama doesn’t usually carry the day in the House. Anthony Weiner and Alan Grayson learned that the hard way.
Neither is it sound policy for a leader to focus on extracting revenge for past wrongs. That’s the path to trumpism. Kill 'em with kindness, that’s what I’d do.
