For all the good it does....with Ca and NY being the varmints in the equation.
This is why the progressives pushed for the 17th amendment. Easier to control the senate if you disconnect it from the state legislatures.
They are not “Democratic”. They are “Democrat”.
What percentage of these legislatures are RINO?
It was RINO-controlled state legislatures that did nothing to prevent the cheat-by-mail-in ballots coming into existence in 2020 due to the SCAMdemic, and they were still widely in use again in 2022.
This is how Kari Lake's election was stolen. I pray that it will be exposed just how many of these cheat-by-mail-in ballots were used in her election. The claim is that hundreds of thousands of these mail-in ballots had either no signature or the scribble on it had no resemblance to the signature on file. Thank God Kari is a fighter.
So what ? FDR killed Federalism, and 100% of the “Alphabet Agencies” are run by Democrats even when Republicans are president.
By making Senators nothing more then a Congresscritter-at-Large for the state. It also introduced the partisan rancor into the Senate that the House always had. Over time this rancor has grown exponentially.
Multiple term senators are now so disconnected from their states most couldn’t find their way back to the state capitals without a GPS & a map!
How could this be? Biden got 80 million votes, didn’t any Democrats vote down the “ballot”?
They all need to pass:
1) Election reforms
2) School Reforms
Federal law overrides State law so the GOP is sucking hind tit.
Our state legislature...House *and* Senate...is 95% Rat. And we recently got a filthy bull dyke whore as Governor.
At least 95% of those getting a US Government paycheck...or pension...(with the possible exception of military checks) are Rats.
Biden didn’t get 80 million votes. They manufactured 11 million votes for the win. They also lied about Trump and the Russia involvement to help throw the Election. They should be all HUNG!!!!!! I would take my whole family to watch, just like the good old days.
Look what just happened yesterday in North Carolina, naysayer. It DOES make a difference. Republican supermajority overrode Democrat governor veto.
hanged, not hung
Paul Ryan, Mitch and Jeff Sessions hurt Trump’s Presidency. Blocked, way- laid, stalled investigations into Hillary email scandal, IRS investigation against conservative pacs, Benghazi murders, etc.
Our party holds investigations to where they lead to no prosecutions, arrests, etc.
I honestly don’t see a Republican President in WH again. They’ve perfected the cheating with absentee ballots and our party went along with it.
Bingo on how many are RINOs.
Abortion still allowed...tell me when they stop it.
“How could this be? Biden got 80 million votes, didn’t any Democrats vote down the “ballot”?”
How could it be? Effective distract maps allow legislatures of the majority party to have greater representation than the population. Legislatures aren’t like parliaments with proportional representation.
This is why I want DeSantis to sit out 2024. We only recover as a nation state by state.
