How the Midterm Vote Got 'Rocked' (Why there was no Red Wave after all)
Sultan Knish ^ | 01 Dec 2022 | Daniel Greenfield

*snip* In the midst of a terrible economy and a crime wave, Democrats were boosted by a demographic least likely to share adult concerns about the economy, schools and public safety, and most likely to be animated by phantom ideological narratives about social justice, abortion and global warming.

Democrats enjoyed the highest turnout for younger voters in a generation with a 31% turnout. Especially in Pennsylvania, Georgia and Michigan.

That doesn’t just happen.

Rock the Vote, which claims to be nonpartisan and can only operate only on the condition of not expressing a party preference, published an officially branded table, boasting that, “Why wasn’t 2022 a red wave? The youth vote. Young voters were the only age group with a strong majority support among Democrats.”

This partisan message, like the entire RTV agenda, is one big violation of the tax code.

Is this your theory (spaghetti) or one that was offered by another?

It was taught to me by my 8th grade history teacher. No attribution given, so you need none.

Just use it.

Did you know that schools push kids to get registered at 18 with excused absences to do so?

Just like they did with Selective Service back in the day (Viet Nam).

Guess they just view it as a different kind of war.

I actually think the corona deaths made an impact on the republican party. you figure 1,000,000 voters across the country? In Close races, the Republican deaths could’ve made the difference in some of these races. Corona screwed us more ways than one.

Those laws can be used by republicans too. But we rely on same day voting. Perhaps we need to use some of these laws too.

America still has the most corrupt electoons on the planet regardless of what any of these liberal experts say. America is a woke joke “democrazy.” A real freak show.

BS Rock the Vote was a big brand 30 years ago when MTV played videos.

It’s irrelevant to the 18-34 demo today… the young voters may have been added to the rolls and ballots were submitted on their behalf by third parties. That and the student loan bailout fraud.

“an obvious bumbling potus”

Biden is looking more spunky lately. Makes me think the 2020 election, where he appeared so feeble, was a rope-a-dope. Look. He won in 2020. Look at 2022. Red Wave a’coming. Didn’t happen. Republicans/conservatives are the bumbling ones.

Some PA info:
1) Oz did worse with pro-life voters than did Fetterman Massacre, the Human Ox in many pro-life districts
2) Trump got 81% of evangelicals; Oz 72%

The fact is, without Trump on a ticket, MANY millions of non-Republican Trump voters will stay home. Look at the research in “Bellwether Blues” by Jacubowski or “The Great Reset” by Salena Zito. These are people who hate the GOP as much as the DemoKKKrats, many are vets, many know people with drug addictions. Many have been left behind by de-industrialization. They are not motivated by issues because they do not believe the GOP will actually address them, only Trump.

Ronna had Harmeet Dhillon, allegedly with a team of lawyers, in AZ. They bolted before Maricopa was even done counting. Ronna/RNC paid Harmeet well to take the dive and keep Lake out.

Lake (also Masters) is a political amateur, and just as naive as Trump about these big-talking machine Republicans and who they really work for. No doubt she thought the party had her back - right up until they vanished.

After 2020, I thought Trump and GOP learned their lesson and formulated a strategy to combat ballot harvesting.

Clearly, they did not. That is why we lost 2020 and will lost the special election in Georgia as well. One only need to look at the mail-in ballots already cast in Georgia to know it is a lost cause.

Until Trump and the GOP change strategy, we will continue to lose elections.....and we MUST win state elections so these laws can be changed (DeSantis did this in Florida).

You are correct that we must use their tatics against them.

The key is to get them out earning paychecks asap so they can see how their paychecks are getting spent for them.

The school system needs to be changed to K-11 with a gap year where they all work/earn and anyone stupid enough to loan them money until age 21 has to “eat it”.

The current system is designed to turn them into debt slaves who are indoctrinated to believe that they are beholden to their Democratic masters.

"We Are So Screwed."

And so are they.. Someone once said, "If You Are Not a Liberal When You Are Young, You Have No Heart, and If You Are Not a Conservative When Old, You Have No Brain."

We can only hope that the young folks wise up sooner then they have in the past 60 years... If not, then I'm thinking the human life span is about to take a nosedive...

America is not suffering enough. It’s going to take a catastrophe to change the direction in which we’re heading. Fortunately there are several disasters on the horizon: nuclear war, economic collapse, civil war and famine. Take your pick.

“We Are So Screwed”

They are so screwed. Most here are older and won’t have to suffer through what they are entering into. The new generation of woke libtard youth are the ones that are screwed. They even provide the lube. I wonder if they will realize what happened.

Exactly. We can’t change principles to win. This is the fruit of a Post Christian nation. In history, people love socialism and vote for it in droves. Then what is that saying…
Marxism… you can vote your way in, but you will have to shoot your way out. How will they know there is a way out…if we don’t show them an alternative at every opportunity.
Pretty soon, there won’t be an opportunity.
