    United States 2024: United States Senate Dicussion Thread

    Surprised 'coz she's still young. She will only be 74 in 2024. That's a spring chicken by US Senate criteria!

    You're right: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyrsten_Sinema Thanks for that! Well, I'm surprised that she hasn't remarried even though it's already been 20 years. Even remarried to a woman.

    The Netherlands is also VERY LGBTQ+ friendly, and Sinema is bisexual, so it's a good fit for her. I'm surprised that she still hasn't married even though she is already in her 40s.

    Maybe by going Indy she was hoping to avoid losing a Dem primary? But then she could split the vote and lose the general, unless she bows out by getting an ambassador role or something.

    The question is do the Democrats let her get away with it or do they nominate their own candidate for her seat in the next election.

    Oh, wow! I'm sorry to hear that! :( I'm amazed that nothing was broken given that cars are extraordinarily heavy, no?

    Was your own experience with a car or with something milder such as a bike?

    Do you think that Warnock abused his wife? She said that he ran over her foot with his car but when the police came, her foot appears to have been undamaged. Does this mean that she was lying about this, or what?

    Raphael Warnock should win, I suspect.

    The interesting thing is that back in 2000, Republicans appear to have been all in favor of counting flawed military ballots: https://content.next.westlaw.com/Document/I29035aa853d711d9b17ee4cdc604a702/View/FullText.html?transitionType=Default&contextData=(sc.Default)&firstPage=true

    Very possibly considering that Lamb wouldn't have been affected by a stroke. Though ironically Fetterman being a stroke survivor might help him among people in a similar situation. Though based on what I've seen, the debate hurt Fetterman more than it helped him. Bless this Swamp Creature for...

    PredictIt now gives Oz about 66% (two-thirds) odds of winning this seat: https://www.predictit.org/ He would be the first-ever Muslim US Senator if he wins.

    Should have made it clear to the Japanese that they could keep their emperor or at least an emperor as a figurehead as a part of their unconditional surrender in the Potsdam Declaration.

    https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2022/10/debates-politics-meaningless-now-rubio-oz-fetterman.html Debates are most useful for attracting swing voters. But even then, they could help partisans refine and rethink some of their arguments for the future even if their minds on whom to vote for...

    The small number of Democratic Congresspeople who objected to the electoral vote count in 2001 (for the 2000 election): https://archive.ph/V3oE2 They lacked Gore's support. Who exactly physically attacked Bush?

    He himself didn't. A few fringe Congressional supporters might have, but it was done without his support, unlike with Trump. When exactly?

    He took his fight to the US Supreme Court, Yes (and quite rightly so since the margin was several hundred votes and there was still an opportunity to do a better count--albeit with this better count not being what the Florida Supreme Court actually did; SCOTUS was much more spot-on here...

    Are they actually lying, though? Because one could switch parties shortly before an election, no? Whether the party switch is sincere or not, well, that's up for the voters to decide, no?

    This is coming from the party who tried to overturn the 2020 election, so if one party wants to play dirty, the other party has a right to play dirty as well. If Al Gore would have tried doing in 2000-2001 what Trump tried doing in 2020-2021 (trying to throw out electoral votes, et cetera)...
