The Democrats have a long term problem
Uncommon Analysis ^ | 10/2/2024 | Uncommon Analysis

The Democrats have a long term problem.

The democrat party appears, on the surface to be in a pretty nice place. They have won 3 out of 4 of the last presidential contests, and they have won the popular vote for President 4 out of the last 5 elections, with the re-election of George W Bush being the sole exception. They hold the Governorships in 23 of 50 states, though they may up that to 24 or 25 depending on how NC and NH vote… At this point it looks all but a certainty Dems will gain the NC governorship.



However, when we go a little further down the ballot things get a bit less rosy for them. Republicans control the Governorship and both house in 23 states, Democrats have this distinction in 16. 10 States have some sort of split among these 3 bodies. At the purely legislative level Republicans control both houses in 29 states, and democrats control both house in 19, with 1 state divided. And if we look at total state chambers (houses and senates) Republicans control 58 of the chambers to Democrats 39, with 1 divided chamber. Now, before you start yelling at me that that only adds up to 98, and 49 respectively, Nebraska is not included in any of these numbers, because they have a Unicameral legislature and is not included because members are elected on a non partisan basis. So while it certainly appears near the top that the nation is fairly evenly divided, the closer you go to the actual voters, Republicans still hold a fairly sizable advantage. Why is that, and what does that mean?

Comes with being a billionaire, you don’t care where you get the money from. Nations and peoples don’t matter to them.

Democrats are still the party of death, division, lies and criminals.

That's why the Democrats are importing voters by the millions from the Third World.

The only thing keeping Wisconsin in check with a Socialist Democrat governor is that Republicans (FWIW) hold both our House and Assembly (Senate) and have kept the hemorrhaging of Tax Dollars in check.

This article is an excellent reminder of the importance of that. Thanks.

"Democrats have become the party of people with useless Masters Degrees with student loan balances in six figures, EV payments, and nothing saved for retirement. The Upper Middle Class."

There. Fixed it.

The long term problem is certainly not children.

I'm hoping I'm around for their old, alone, single, childless, abandoned, golden years. Who's going to care about them? Their votes will continue for decades after they stroke out.

Hi Dimwits at goverUncommon Analysis,

If a Dem wins the NC governorship, it will not be a net gain. The current governor Roy Cooper is a Dem.

‘Our future is at stake’: Over 200 retired military leaders endorse Trump
The Post Millennial ^ | 10/2/24 | David Krayden
Posted on 10/2/2024, 11:16:48 AM by CFW

Flag Officers 4 America, a group comprised of more than 200 retired admirals and generals, has endorsed former President Donald Trump for reelection in a signed letter Monday stating that Trump is a “proven leader who will secure our border, repulse our adversaries, revitalize our economy and keep America safe and strong.”

“Today our Nation has never been more divided as the cultural war, supported by the Democratic party, divides our citizens into conflicting groups,” they wrote. “Recent evidence is the widespread riots on university campuses with students and faculty supporting terrorist organizations, Hamas and Hezbollah, blatantly flying their flags on American soil and burning our US national flag.” Those endorsing Trump include generals from the US Army, Air Force and Marines and admirals from the US Navy.

“While this divisive domestic strife is dividing our Country, our foreign enemies have been on the march, taking advantage of the political/social disorder in America,” they continued.

The group noted that the conservative think tank Heritage Foundation has assessed the US military as “weak” and highlighted a congressional report that said America could well be defeated in a war with “peer and near-peer adversaries.”

“The influx of countless millions of unvetted illegals from 160 countries, including ~100,000 Chinese, most of military age, plus thousands of criminals and terrorists, place America at great risk … Border security is national security.”

“We must ask: ‘Is our national security stronger or weaker today than four years ago?’” the letter asked. “The answer is clear. We urge our fellow Americans to join us in supporting the election of Donald J. Trump for president. Our future is at stake.”

I don’t think Trump or Musk 100% fit your mold.

There are always exceptions, but in general, that’s how I see it.

At the purely legislative level Republicans control both houses in 29 states

These are the states that must pass legislation for public school reform and election integrity.

This ‘problem’ Democrats plan to handle via crooked judges, to make good any voting irregularities needed to steal elections via illegal aliens voting and stuffing mail-in votes, etc.
