Seriously, math is just not your thing, is it?

In 2020, the VAP (the people who are of voting age) was 62.0%. That is the SECOND HIGHEST turnout % in the last 100-years.

There isn’t a huge well of untapped voters to tap. The people who aren’t voting are the people who are never going to vote and never have voted in the modern era.

What do we know about the people who aren’t likely voters? They LOVE big government which is why Democrats always poll significantly better in polls that don’t discriminate between ‘likely voters’ and ‘adults.’

Do yourself a solid and do some research on basic math and political science before telling someone who understands the subject better than you do that they’re a ‘static thinker.’ You’re embarrassing yourself.

BS. Watching a fake party like the Republicans is worse than no party at all. Let it die so something good can take its place. I can’t play the game anymore. I will probably vote Democrat in 22 just to get rid of my RINO Representative.

I have a degree in EE and minored in math. Politics is emotion based more than math based.

I will no longer vote for the likes of McCain or Romney.

Those leaving the republican parry are not doing so because the republican party is strong on guns, or other conservative issues.

Just the opposite.


That's exactly the point. As Conservatives leave the Pubbies, do you really think the Pubbies that remain won't jump hard left? Once there are no Conservatives pushing them, Romney/Sasse/Collins/'Kowski and ten or twenty more won't be perfectly OK going along with registrations/confiscations?

You're right and the RINOs were in on the blatant election rigging. The Uniparty didn't rig the election because President Trump was increasing Republican votes for the Presidency, they blatantly rigged an election because voters from both halves of the Uniparty voted for President Trump.

The Uniparty will run an unbelievable propaganda campaign to keep up the lie that votes mean anything and that people need government. The Uniparty can't afford to have people walk away. As people refuse to accept the same sorry line that government is their only option and that it's going to offer nothing but excuses, they're correctly seeking answers from anywhere other than government.

It's too late for the Uniparty, their propaganda shills ABCCBSCNNFOXNBCNPRNYTWAPO, and the congress without clothes. President Trump exposed the fraud of government and after the Uniparty rigged an election in 2020 with impunity, no one, prior Democrat, Independent, or Republican can tell themselves that their votes matter.

The U.S. government will be correctly treated like the Third World government that it proved itself to be. We're going to witness contracts written for everything instead of relying on corrupt legislation. Many of these contracts will be written in jurisdictions outside of the U.S. We'll see payments up front. We'll see companies reconfigured to walk away from jurisdictions in weeks instead of years. Your neighborhood business is going to have layers of sub-corporations that were previously reserved for international corporations. We'll see government desperately begging industries not to leave them behind any more than they already have been.

“They want to do things that well-armed people would never allow.”

Would be great to boil that phrase down to bumper sticker size.

We gotta stop worrying about the next election cycle and look long term. We need a party that will stop immigration cold. The GOP is not that party. If there is a conservative split from the GOP maybe that will encourage the leftists or Blacks to form their own parties.
