    United States 2024: United States Senate Dicussion Thread

    I consider modern Kansas to be a red-leaning (hence the state legislature and Senate results) but still purpler state than, say, Oklahoma - having had about as many Democratic governors since ~1990 as Republicans (4 including the incumbent, compared to only half as many Dems as Republicans in...

    United States 2024: United States Senate Dicussion Thread

    I haven't posted in a long while since I'm still waiting to see how those races in Nevada & Arizona shake out - apparently the GOP can still win both governorships and Senate seats, which would mean they could afford to lose the Georgia runoff if they manage it - but I gotta say, I'm 100% in...

    United States 2024: United States Senate Dicussion Thread

    If I had told my 2012 self that the first Muslim Senator would most likely be a Republican, past-me would laugh his/my lungs out, but here we are. Who'd have guessed that the alliance between woke progressives and the followers of a religion which does not, to say the least, share their views on...

    Okay well, I don't think you even read my post if this was your takeaway, but let me restate what I was actually saying: 1) It is entirely the prerogative of Alaskan voters to decide they'd like to go the way of California, Washington and Oregon, as well as select counties in Texas and...

    If Alaskans wish to prioritize short-term financial benefit at the expense of certain long-term ruination (financial and otherwise), then on their heads be it. But I do not believe we should easily discount the efforts Murkowski and team (as they have admitted to PV) put in to tip the scales in...

    Mix of both, I'd say. Ranked choice inherently favors middle-of-the-road candidates who don't really appeal strongly to any factions but are considered the least offensive by all of them - as I said, this is how the Canadian Tories have managed to box out insurgent candidates and promote...

    Project Veritas has gotten Murkowski's people to admit like a month ago that they pushed hard for RCV precisely to benefit her. You're right on one note though, it is indeed ultimately up to the people of each state to defend themselves from leftist takeovers, and if they're foolish enough to be...

    Knew there was a 99% chance this would happen. California's been using a similar trick (jungle primaries) to ensure Feinstein and Harris didn't even have to face a Republican in their last couple Senatorial elections there, plus they've got ranked-choice voting in their most pozzed cities (San...
