I wouldn’t say they are favoured. NV, NH, AZ and GA are all tough turf to defend unless you get a big turnout (D+6 and above). Meanwhile, FL, PA, NC, WI are tough seats to go after, even if they are battleground states, especially with population trend. In WI for instance, Tony Evers won with sth like 20k vote in 2018 in a D+9 national environment.
It’s a slightly lean GOP map imo. Of course things are subjected to changes, but looking at past D midterm performances they don’t exactly fill you with confidence.
Eh? they’ve literally just lost both. How on Earth are they ”poised” to win them?Yet they are poised to regain Congress in 2022 and win back the Presidency in 2024.
Fascism will rule in America.
They are indoctrinated into this thinking from birth. You could pay me £1 million and I wouldn't live in that place.I find this really cringy to be honest. Why does Americans keep spouting this "greatest country in the world" when its pretty far from it.
Think i can name about 30 countries i'd much rather live in than the US
When you end up on the winning side in two world wars, you have the opportunity to paint your own history.I find this really cringy to be honest. Why does Americans keep spouting this "greatest country in the world" when its pretty far from it.

Because incumbent party does badly in midterms, and D holds the slimmest House majority they’ve had since WW2, and a tied Senate, which means even marginal losses can swing control of both chambers.Eh? they’ve literally just lost both. How on Earth are they ”poised” to win them?
Fecking hell
How is it the greatest and oldest? Even excluding obvious candidates for that title, it's actually Tynwald.Yep. This is nothing new, just packaged differently enough to seem unique.
Not exactly the same as what you are discussing, but some similarities...

They'll have to do a lot more than sanitize. Wonder how many operatives were able to plant bugs and the sort across the Capitol buildingI wonder how many of those in the mob had Covid-19. I saw that for example one guy bled at Pelosis desk. Guess they have to sanitize the whole building now.
he will never get prosecuted because murdering cops almost never get prosecuted but he killed a woman by shooting into a crowd of people including other police officers. he could have pushed her back, he could have left the area, he could have fired a warning shot. the cop murdered her.There's no way he could be prosecuted in a court of law. A group of violent people did not back off and kept attempting to literally break into the room himself and others were in. Hugely outnumbered and can easily be said by his defence team, fearing for their lives.
Oh I totally agree, I'm just saying even if he was a civilian there's minimal chance of him serving time for that, given the video evidence.he will never get prosecuted because murdering cops almost never get prosecuted but he killed a woman by shooting into a crowd of people including other police officers. he could have pushed her back, he could have left the area, he could have fired a warning shot. the cop murdered her.
I'm not sure leaving the area when the area is the senate being invaded during a vote was an option. None of us know the full circumstances at the moment so labelling it as murder seems more than a little OTT until we do.he will never get prosecuted because murdering cops almost never get prosecuted but he killed a woman by shooting into a crowd of people including other police officers. he could have pushed her back, he could have left the area, he could have fired a warning shot. the cop murdered her.
Most depressing thing is the amount of people who are cheering because of political disagreements.he will never get prosecuted because murdering cops almost never get prosecuted but he killed a woman by shooting into a crowd of people including other police officers. he could have pushed her back, he could have left the area, he could have fired a warning shot. the cop murdered her.
Huh?Yet they are poised to regain Congress in 2022 and win back the Presidency in 2024.

A couple of Caf posters are happy about this and support the cop in this case.he will never get prosecuted because murdering cops almost never get prosecuted but he killed a woman by shooting into a crowd of people including other police officers. he could have pushed her back, he could have left the area, he could have fired a warning shot. the cop murdered her.
What do you reckon the chance you’d kill someone would be if you shoot straight into a gaggle from close distance?I'm not sure leaving the area when the area is the senate being invaded during a vote was an option. None of us know the full circumstances at the moment so labelling it as murder seems more than a little OTT until we do.
Explained a few posts above.Huh?
We can quibble about word usage but the video speaks loud and clear. The other cops managed not to shoot anyone there.I'm not sure leaving the area when the area is the senate being invaded during a vote was an option.

Yes, i kinda do. They live in a bubble of disinformation and they really believe they are the heroes here, which is a bit sad. The problem is you can stop it without massively intrusive rules in both free speech and on the internetDoes anyone feel somewhat sorry for these right-wing nutters..
They presumably truly believe that the election was stolen. That democracy is being destroyed.
If you believe that you might be doing the same.
The existence of idiots on the right cannot be helped. In the internet age, how do we stop this happening every 4 years?
At least 1 on this boardMost depressing thing is the amount of people who are cheering because of political disagreements.
I generally agree, but I would say that that officer probably didn’t have all the information we could see on TV and so without that information and not knowing what was happening, it’s understandable slightly that he may have panicked. It’s in the Capitol, and the situation vey unique, after all.We can quibble about word usage but the video speaks loud and clear. The other cops managed not to shoot anyone there.
Maybe, maybe not. Probably amazing the cops didn't shoot more people and instead ceded the senate to terrorists engaged in insurrection.We can quibble about word usage but the video speaks loud and clear. The other cops managed not to shoot anyone there.
MAGA idiots were invading the senate but if it had been radical Muslim idiots I wonder if the reaction would be same or if we would rightly call them terrorists?. Happy more didn't die but anyone invading a parliament to try to stop a democratic vote being enacted shouldn't he surprised if they end up dead.What do you reckon the chance you’d kill someone would be if you shoot straight into a gaggle from close distance?
It was utter brain dead to fire that shot. That woman was a MAGA idiot but she didn’t deserve to die that way, no one does.
Just catching up with this thread. That Nancy desk thing is going to be the origin of conspiracy theories for years to come. Fake emails, fake files, fake USBs, fake deals, etc.What is actually hysterical (apart from a woman being shot and maybe losing her life) is that this is all a bunch of Trump's pussies can manage. Trump directs them down Pennsylvania Avenue and they take a stroll, have a personal tour around the building, sit behind Nancy's desk, get selfies and then walk off before anyone cross can turn up.
More of a Damp Squib (Squid probably) than a Mob.
Pathetic.
I put this on yesterday when I was building Lego crap with my youngest and upper middle kiddo. She asked what the flag was. Explaining to an eleven year old what that flag is and what it represented and seeing the look of confusion and horror on her face wasn't the best way to spend a Tuesday evening just before bedtime.I can’t put to words how irrationally mad I get every time I see that flag in the Capitol
They shouldn’t be surprised if they end up jailed. You are enabling police’s racist and trigger happy behaviour by rationalizing it the way you did above.MAGA idiots were invading the senate but if it had been radical Muslim idiots I wonder if the reaction would be same or if we would rightly call them terrorists?. Happy more didn't die but anyone invading a parliament to try to stop a democratic vote being enacted shouldn't he surprised if they end up dead.
That looks really bad, hard to see how that could possibly have been justified.
Because they've barricaded the door, probably have elected officials on the other side, and she's climbing through with unknown contents in a bag after being told repeatedly to stay back?That looks really bad, hard to see how that could possibly have been justified.
Agreed. They’d already broken through barrier after barrier.Because they've barricaded the door, probably have elected officials on the other side, and she's climbing through with unknown contents in a bag after being told repeatedly to stay back?
It's sad she's dead. I'm not going to celebrate someone dying. But those officers/agents were doing their job.
The whole thing is a bloody mess, though.
