Before I get to the point of this post, let me set up a bit of groundwork:

So now that we have the facts out of the way, the point of this post.

We are now less than 3 months away from the midterm elections. The Democrats are on a path to economic and political disaster and it is killing them in the polls. Biden’s approval rating is a dismal -16.3. The number of people who disapprove of him is nearly double the number who approve. Trump’s approval is -15.1.

It isn’t any better for the rest of the field. The Republicans have a 72% chance of winning a majority in the house.

So with all of that going on, why are the Democrats continuing down what is obviously a self destructive path? Why do they continue making decisions that are obviously unpopular with the voters?

I can only come up with one logical answer: The polls don’t matter. Their popularity doesn’t matter.

They know that they can’t lose. The fix is in. There is no other explanation that fits the facts.

Kind of like how Brandon won the pResidency by campaigning in his basement.

While this is definitely possible, don’t forget that many of the Democrats pushing leftward are in safe seats – they can do whatever they want without being directly hurt.
Many of those in less safe seats are either being quiet or saying more moderate things (regardless of how they vote).

    I fear you are correct. “Election” Riiiight. They changed many words and are I think in the process of erasing another.

Lots of evidence on 2020 and crickets from the courts. Nothing to stop then from trying the same ole again. Unless you count things like tailgate parties at the drop boxes. Happened. Videos of cars pulling up then driving off. Need to camp out at the ballot counting.

1929 called, it’s not a recession.
Recessions are constructs of the white male patriarchy.
You have to burn it all down in order to build CCCP back better.

Welcome to reality.

Well if they know they are going to lose, it could simply be they will try to get as much crap through as they can. The $740B climate bill is going to pass because they found a way to bypass the R filibuster in the senate. 1 more like that before the end of the year, maybe enough damage is done it can’t be undone before 2024, and not in 1 term with a republican president. They pick it back up in 2028.

I think your assessment may very well be correct.

That said, I think the Democrats may be seriously underestimating the response should they succeed with another round of election legerdemain. If a substantial number – and it neither needs to be a majority nor anywhere near half – become fully convinced that elections are now less than worthless it is entirely possible that a very different procedure may be employed to procure the national leadership of our choice.

That most certainly will not do the republic much good, but perhaps an unknown degree of uncertainty is preferable to the preordained outcome in store.

Interesting times, for sure.

SloJoe said they had the largest election fraud organization ever back shortly before the election . It is growing day by day . Even if they don’t cheat and the republicans sweep the race what will they do ? Nothing ! Fight against the Trump probably . And here in the Buckeye they give us Dewine and Portman to vote for , heh . I simply will not vote ! FookEm
