as usual, victor davis hanson with the nail on the head: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2022/11/10/tuesday_takeaways_148450.html What, if anything, did the midterms tell us about the country -- other than underwhelming Republicans could still take the House and Senate? During the COVID-19 lockdowns, American elections radically changed to mail-in and early voting. They did so in a wild variety of state-by-state ways. Add ranked voting and a required majority margin to the mess and the result is that once cherished Election Day balloting becomes increasingly irrelevant. Election Night also no longer exists. Returns are not counted for days. It is intolerable for a modern democracy to wait and wait for all sorts of different ballots both cast and counted under radically different and sometimes dubious conditions. The Democrats -- with overwhelming media and money advantages -- have mastered these arts of massive and unprecedented early, mail-in, and absentee voting. Old-fashioned Republicans count on riling up their voters to show up on Election Day. But it is far easier to finesse and control the mail-in ballots than to "get out the vote." The country is divided in more ways than ever. America's interior just gets redder and the bicoastal corridors bluer. Exceptional Republican gubernatorial or senatorial candidates like Lee Zeldin, Tudor Dixon, and Tiffany Smiley in blue states like New York, Michigan, or Washington cannot win upsets against even so-so Democratic incumbents -- even during a supposedly bad election cycle for Democrats, laboring under a president with a 40 percent approval rating. Similarly, media-spawned leftist heartthrobs like Beto O'Rourke and Stacey Abrams can burn through hundreds of millions of dollars. But they still cannot unseat workmanlike Republican incumbents in Texas and Georgia. Out-of-state immigration has only solidified these red-blue brand polarizations. Over the last decade, millions of conservatives have fled California, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania to Florida and Texas. The former states got bluer as New York governors like Andrew Cuomo and Kathy Hochul said good riddance to fleeing conservatives -- who were welcomed as refugees to red "free states." As voters self-select residences on ideological grounds and the deleterious effect of blue-states' governance, the country is gravitating into two antithetical nations. Americans vote not so much for individual personalities as blocs of incompatible parties, causes, and ideologies.
Arizona has to get enterpretors/ transcribers to read foreign votes. Day 3 of "Election Day". Money bet says Liberals winning all in with basement hider Governor wannabe Katie Hobbs & Cortez Masto for Senate. * Katie Hobbs did not recuse herself, effectively overseeing & counting her own votes.
Pennsylvania gets brown mark for cutting their own throats by electing John Fatterman. He will destroy fracking in the state known for fracking & used to be huge steel producers. Heart Surgeons too smart for the Pittsburg Cheesesteaks (Steelers name no longer applies) Need unemployed fat unemploted bum, with enterpreter because he's mentally challenged. Billy Joel soon banned from state for singing "Allentown".
I like your rant humor. Fetts was the Lt Gov since 2019. He was a mayor for 13 years prior. He had political connections and history in the state. He had a stroke and could barely talk but beat political hack Dr. Oz. An Oprah tv personality who didn't even really reside in the state. Don't blame the people of Penn, blame your boy Les, I mean Trumps for that debacle.
Not blaming anyone. PA. reaps what they sew. Hope they enjoy their cheesesteaks & Hoagies. They'll be freezing their ass off by December. Oh well. Let's see how much they love "Fatts", then. Dr. Oz is a very real heart surgeon. He's not a polititian. He did the heart transplant that saved Joe Torres brother life (Former NY Yankees Manager). Joe Torre is mega rich. The Torre family picked Dr. Oz because he is considerate one of the best. You forgot to mention the clunky big boy chased down a black man & pulled a shotgun on him with no reason given. That goes against Liberal bylaws.
