What you miss is that in each congressional district the voters had a choice between a ‘bad Republican’ and a fine Democrat. And the republicans won a majority. I AGREE with you that the albatross that Trump is is what lead the Republican victory to be that small. Even with Trump eliminating much of the ‘middle’ from Republican candidates they STILL won over half of the races. You must consider the Panthers champions because some thought they’d be swept but they won one of five games…. You do realize the results are ‘Speaker McCarthy’ and not ‘Speaker Jeffries’?

You can keep making any excuse you want, but the country would embrace a Republican like (name anyone but Trump) if it wasn’t for the Trump effect of pulling all others down.


There is no evidence this is true. Sane republicans are extinct. It is the MAGA party now. May it rot and burn.

(And of course, your argument ignores gerrymandering. There is an excellent argument to be made that the GOP wouldn’t have even gotten the House except for the Supreme Court’s shadow doc decision that allowed the now-illegal maps in states like Alabama to be in effect during the 2022 midterms.)

I would assume Soopoo is a Republican and I can't imagine anyone believing he is not sane.

You were real close to expressing a coherent thought there.

I was referring to politicians.

I don’t believe SOOPOO is a politician, although I think he does write his name in when Donny is on the ballot.

I might write in Soopoo's name on the upcoming election.

Correct! And I am still a registered Republican, but as of now I like to refer to myself as an ‘anti-Democrat’. There are so many Republicans that I would have a hard time voting for. But there are even fewer Democrats I could vote for. The Republicans because of who they are. The Democrats because of their policies. Quite a quandary I’m in!

Vote Dem
Neither party is fiscally responsible
Might as well vote for the party that is pro choice and doesn't hate gays.
It's really weird the bitter attacks from the right regarding gays. Don't you find this illogical hatred disgusting. So filled with hatred, they outright lie to feed this disgusting hatred.
Aren't you ashamed of what the Republican party has devolved to with this type of hatred

DeSantis claimed Dodgers stadium was 'virtually empty' after Pride backlash, but the game actually had higher attendance than normal

Why did DeSantis lie??????? He thinks generating hate against gays will win him votes.
I'm shocked you are blind to this disgusting behavior

We can go back and forth on this. But TODAY, the Democrat party is FAR MORE fiscally irresponsible than the Republicans. No Republican mayor would even consider spending literally billions of dollars to house illegal (some quasi-legal) immigrants in hotels. Where is this money coming from? You Pooh Pooh it, but there are dozens of big name Democrats in favor of reparations. The Democrats want loans to magically disappear.

Democrat maternity laws in NY…. New mother will be able to get 6-8 weeks full pay. Then trove of personal days. Then sick day bank. Then some multiplier for the sick days! If delivery Feb 10 says she will not have to go back until new school year in September and will not miss a paycheck! It’s not like she has been there for 30 years and built up this much PTO!

I have gay nephew just finished ER residency in New York. He and BF are moving to Florida. Why is he not worried about DeSantis? Step daughter also gay. If she can get into Dental School there she will happily leave NY. She knows who the governor is but somehow is not concerned? Why are YOU so concerned?

You conflate hatred with concern. Frankly, you use the word ‘hate’ way too freely.

That is why I am registered as Independent. I don't want to be lumped in with either party.
