Re: 2022 Elections Thread
I know JohnStWrong will avoid this one like a plague, but the truth is unavoidable…the Republican Party is picking up steam as the mid-term elections approach…and this latest bad news comes from CBS News, the original MSM cheer-leader for the Biden Administration…
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/party-swit ... democrats/More than 1 million voters across 43 states have switched to the Republican Party over the last year, according to voter registration data analyzed by The Associated Press. The previously unreported number reflects a phenomenon that is playing out in virtually every region of the country - Democratic and Republican states along with cities and small towns - in the period since President Joe Biden replaced former President Donald Trump.
But nowhere is the shift more pronounced - and dangerous for Democrats - than in the suburbs, where well-educated swing voters who turned against Trump's Republican Party in recent years appear to be swinging back. Over the last year, far more people are switching to the GOP across suburban counties from Denver to Atlanta and Pittsburgh and Cleveland. Republicans also gained ground in counties around medium-size cities such as Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; Raleigh, North Carolina; Augusta, Georgia; and Des Moines, Iowa

Re: 2022 Elections Thread
Don't forget that Democrats are able to put together mass fraudulent ballots dumps while leaving no evidence. I know they forgot to do that for down ballot races in 2020, but surely they remember to do it this year since there's no potus race.

Re: 2022 Elections Thread
Long read. Interviews with Clinton era dems & current and former Blue Dogs (not many left), about how the democrat party has moved left from the platform of Bill Clinton and the 90s, and their upcoming election prospects..
https://dnyuz.com/2022/06/29/the-vanish ... -democrat/…..The bigger, more consequential question — not just for the moderates but for all Democrats — is whether this projected midterm wipeout is merely a cyclical occurrence or the manifestation of a much deeper and more intractable problem. Over the last decade, the Democratic Party has moved significantly to the left on almost every salient political issue. Some of these shifts in a more ambitiously progressive direction, especially as they pertain to economic issues, have largely tracked with public opinion: While socialism might not poll well with voters, Democratic proposals to raise taxes on corporations and the wealthy, increase the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour and lower the age of Medicare eligibility do.
But on social, cultural and religious issues, particularly those related to criminal justice, race, abortion and gender identity, the Democrats have taken up ideological stances that many of the college-educated voters who now make up a sizable portion of the party’s base cheer but the rest of the electorate does not. “The Democratic Party moved left,” says Will Marshall, the president and founder of the Progressive Policy Institute, a moderate Democratic think tank, “but the country as a whole hasn’t.”……

In Portland I'm more concerned about being attacked by a dozen angry illiberals in AnTiFa gear.
I suppose in Ewwoooo land you'd be more concerned by a dozen angry morons wearing buffalo head dresses.

NYT: she's "far right"
Translation: she's just right of center.
At least they didn't use 'latinx', or whatever that dumb term is that only woke white liberals use.
