"The elections in GA and PA are rigged."

This is tiresome, tedious cope. Getting bored of the whining about stolen elections. I'd rather start winning again.

Senators that will Ditch Mitch

[Cen-Tejas]

This is why the COS is so important. Given a successful convention, corrupt old bastards like China Mitch will not be able to spend 50 years in office sucking the American people dry like a blood sucking tick. He will be 81 Feb. 20, 83.

[central_va]

There wasn’t much to pick from.

Mitch McConnell Net Worth:

$35 Million

[napscoordinator]

He did get one thing right. We must pick quality candidates. Hopefully the clown show is over. Nobody bought enough tickets to have the show go on. Let’s finally take candidate recruitment seriously.

[central_va]

So do you think Gropin’ Joe really got 81 MILLION legitimate votes in 2020?

[chopperk]

Dump the Mc’s; McConnell, McCarthy and McDaniel.

[no-to-illegals]

So mc will find candidates. What a joker

[nathanbedford]

I am not unmindful of the warning that a successful politician does not win by disparaging the voters. Witness Hillary Clinton's calling us deplorables. Beside, the whole edifice of democracy rests on the will of the government and if we lose faith in that support the whole edifice falls.

Perhaps this is why Churchill opined that democracy is the worst form government, apart from all the others and why he is reported to have said, America will do the right thing after it tries everything else. Eventually the voters get around to the right answer.

Finally, I am very leery of surrendering power to elitists even on the promise of saving us from the vast unwashed electorate. Therein lies path to tyranny -as we all have just so shockingly seen in the twitter /FBI collaboration up elitists.

Knowing these things, or rather believing these things, one must nevertheless concede that the electorate has been way off course the last two elections. I think I expressed my view as to what has caused voters to vote against their own best interests in my previous reply.

The temptation is to blame the electorate, blame the people. The temptation is to short cut the process, to go for a top-down solution rather than a bottom up remedy, to reach for the charismatic figure on horseback to ride to the rescue.

We must avoid these temptations and hold fast the truths that founded this Republic in the first place, ultimately to trust the people because there is no place else to go.

Good analysis, nathan.

There’s something on a different level that motivates Americans to vote Democrat:

They are aware that they are privileged people—to be here in the U.S., with its freedoms, to have more than enough in terms of material things, etc.—so the Dem vote is a guilt vote.

They think they are helping people less well off than they are, which of course they are not because they are leading them toward communism, in which there will be freedom.

Especially those who don’t bother to go to religious services anymore: Voting Democrat is their “charity.”

Beside, the whole edifice of democracy rests on the will of the government and if we lose faith in that support the whole edifice falls.

Well, it's falling.

[central_va]

We must pick quality candidates.

GOPe endorsed RINO milquetoast candidates? F that.

[firebrand]

will be no freedom

[dpetty121263]

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) really needs to go meet the Lord and soon.

[Nathan _in_Arkansas]

I am actively engaging in efforts to primary both Cotton and Boozeman from Arkansas.

If I still lived there, I’d run against them myself.

[nathanbedford]

Will put and I think even more perceptive because you are exposed to that class of liberals in Manhattan. I an exposed to a similar sensitivity here in Germany, a sense of guilt for the Holocaust but at least that distortion of voting is dissipating but, alas, in favor of green ideology.

[servantoftheservant]

Are you serious? LMAO!

Was there blatant fraud in 2020? BECAUSE NOTHING WAS CHANGED SINCE THEN.

You have to deal with that, or you end up discussing a bunch of irrelevant shit that is an utter waste of time and energy.

You WILL ALWAYS get a corrupt person in every position of power in GA or PA, unless the fraud is addressed and fixed.

Do you get it? You’re not going to start winning again. EVER. until the fraud is dealt with

[nathanbedford]

Well, it's falling.

Can't argue with that.

[Sacajaweau]

like Murkowski?? Collins? Romney??
