A Great Howl Just Went Up On The Left

" A Great Howl Just Went Up On The Left"


are you certain that you weren't just driving past the ASPCA?
 
The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) released a Democrat-damning poll report on Tuesday, showing the GOP leading on the generic ballot in 85 battleground congressional districts, 43 percent to 40 percent.

So, Republican Jesus - a non-candidate about whom people can literally believe whatever they want - gets them a lead that's probably within the margin of error, a year out from the elections? Yeah, I'm not losing any sleep over that.
 
We’re all feeling good about 2022. And Biden leaves the country tomorrow. Even Kamala is happy about that!
 
To be fair most of us felt pretty good heading in to 2016. I mean we only lost by the weirdest of rules but still.
 
All you need to know about any and every poll is the answer to one question:

Who commissioned it :D:D
 
RG’s finger on the pulse with a Brietbart article leading with a repub run poll that shockingly finds anti democrat results!

And two more questions:

1. What question were people asked?

and

2 How were those participating selected? Perhaps they were all registered Republicans?

This is so true. You can spin a question just as much as you spin an answer. Asking someone whether they like the deficit is a different question than asking someone if they like the debt, such as the $8 trillion that Trump added.

The polls in women's magazine adverts are the worst:

87% of women who bought our product more than once were satisfied with the results.

Of course they were, otherwise why buy it more than once.The producers should be worried by the 13%!

By weirdest or rules, do you mean something simple like the Electoral Collage??

Votes spread out over more states / areas to get an accurate representation of the American people, not just from a few lib cities?? Maybe there is a reason the framers designed it that way.

Democratic (with a small 'd') electoral systems vary by country. First past the post systems as in the US and UK favour two-party states. Proportionaional representation often ends up with a coalition government.

Whatever system is in force, looking at the figures in depth could suggest a change in results but only the currently agreed system for that country actually matters. Everything else is just interesting statistics but no value in deciding who forms the next government.

In the UK for example, a political party has won more seats, and therefore a majority in Parliament, but the total number of votes for the opposition were higher - but in the wrong places to count. That is true where I live. It does not matter whom I vote for. The Conservatives have a massive majority, far more than the votes for all the other candidates added as a total.
 
Keep in mind, the hildabeast still thinks she won in 2016.


That would be incorrect.
She conceded the election on election night.
(I.e. she admitted publicly that she lost to her opponent)

This isn't the first time you've spread this easily proven lie

Minorities certainly should have a check on power.

They should not have the full power. Land doesn't vote and so should not be afforded representation

That's what we have....checks on power, not the full power.

2/3 majority gets full power, the 2/3 being the check on simple majority.

Land doesn't vote and so should not be afforded representation

Land doesn't vote, but people residing on it do, and they are afforded representation because everyone getting representation is a cornerstone value in American democracy.

So even though they are disproportionately represented in low population states heavily so in the Senate, that's a feature, not a flaw.
 
Your graphic does not match the election results, so it is bullshit!

The way the filibuster is currently structured, it's complete power in the hands of the minority. They aren't required to do anything.

The talking filibuster should be established requiring 41 of the minority party to hold the floor would fix that while still allowing the check.

And as this topic has been exhaustively discussed on multiple other threads, I won't comment further on it.
