Good. Get fucked.
Maybe there's a reason for that, you corrupt fucks.
Maybe don't act like a cunt to 50.5% of the population.
Well after the last week, you better damn well be worried.
Yeah, be afraid, you morally-bankrupt sons of bitches.
As they fucking should. This administration has been a fucking embarrassment
Tom Davis, a former Republican congressman from Virginia, said it remains Brat’s race to win, and that Kavanaugh may be the issue that pulls him over the finish line. “It’s still a southern district,” Davis said. “There’s nothing like a good fight to keep your base in line.” Tad disturbing to see people talk like that about other people.
I hope you’ve enjoyed your good ole’ boys club, you greasy fucks.
Suck it you RUSKIY FUCKS!!!
Gee, who would've thought McConnell's "be a huge authoritarian cunt" strategy would backfire?
i'm still not sure about getting too cocky regarding the blue wave. I feel as though the last week has galvanized not only democrats, but probably republicans as well. Make sure you guys are all registered and VOTE!
Yeah I live in Minnesota 3rd which is going to pivot, its been leaning heavily dem after Trump got voted in. Its funny hearing the non-stop attack ads from Citizens United and the NRCC
I walked up on a mountain in the middle of the sky  Could see to every farm and every town  I could see all the people in this whole wide world  That's the union that'll tear old Donny down down down That's the union that'll tear the fascists down
I hope the Dems have been hitting back just as hard?
Not here, the GOP is pouring insane amounts of money into my distrct only for the Dems 9 point lead to drop to 7.5. If I turn off adblock for Hulu its non-stop NRCC ads, on the radio its NRCC ads, and on the NFL game its NRCC ads all attacking Dean Philips.
They should be scared.
this. Republicans act as if they only represent those that voted for them not all the people of their districts.
Elected officials represent the majority's interest, which is the people that voted for them, not everyone's (which may or may not be conflicting).
Yeah. And all their voters are in it for themselves and their own selfish interests.
Well maybe you shouldn't have forced Kavanaugh through so close to midterms you fucknuggets.
Remember, it's not done until the results are in. You need to do your part and vote. It doesn't matter if you think they've got it in the bag, everyone needs to be a part of this.
elected officials still have a duty to represent all of the people in their districts, not just the interests of their voters, the oath they took doesn't say "to uphold the constitution for those that voted for you."
Hope this affects state level too, Gillum and others as governor and Democrats gaining in the state legislature is the best way to drive out gerrymandering after the census.
well over 50%. The 50.5 number is really just those that voted, and right wingers tend to vote in larger numbers than left wingers unfortunately. For example, here in Ontario, Doug Ford won over merely 40% of those that voted(and got a fucking majority anyway), but the actual turnout was 58%, so really he only netted roughly 25% of all Ontarian votes, and that's being optimistic since, like I said, right wingers tend to vote in higher numbers than left wingers.
I meant the percentage of women, but that's true as well.
Oh true, I figured the 50.5% was referring to the election results which tend to be close to 50ish% for both the Republicans and Democrats(2016 was 46% for Trump, and 48% for Hillary however).
I wonder if it'll ever get to the point where the GOP gets desperate enough to resort to literal assassination, I fucking hope not.
Republicans are pulling all the stops this year, some of the dirtiest are putting blatantly unrelated things as ballot initiatives (one in Florida would ban offshore oil drilling but also ban indoor vaping) and in North Carolina the legislature cancelled party primaries for the state supreme court to fuck with Democrats, so a Democrat changed party and is now running against the Dem and the incumbent Republican to split the ballot.
A shining city on a hill Forced us to swallow a bitter pill Mistrustful intertwining melodies Of political apparition Supposition Vote Democrat as your decision Or we're all lost
