United States 2024: United States Senate Dicussion Thread

[Abhorsen]

You say that like it’s a good thing.

Which by their actions translates to ‘they’ll go back to fighting each other once they don’t need each other’.

No, you don't understand the uniparty conceit: they never work together on elections. They all believe that they are the good guys and the other party is the worst. Only from outside do they appear as one, but they still hardly work together even vs the outside (in fact, they'll fund the outside to spite each other, as we see with dems funding Trumpites in primaries to beat them in the general).

I don't think that matters.

The democrats ran a man for senate who had a stroke and couldn't even talk the quality of your canadates while important isn't as important as having support and a good ground game.

They ran that man for senate against another horrible choice. Stop picking losers, and the GOP wouldn't have crumbled.

"Dump Trump"

What about him makes him bad?

First, he's toxic. The MSM burned all their credibility on it, but they did drag him down with them (though he gave them a lot of help).

Second, the key power of the president is appointments. Outside of judicial appointments (where he was helped by FedSoc), and Betsy DeVos, his appointments have been largely dogshit, based on if they say they profess loyalty to him, nothing else. This extends to his candidate selection, where his candidates lost in all the close races.

At least JD Vance won the Ohio US Senate election

He'll change nothing. He's no different than the vast majority of Republican senators who will spend and spend while complaining about things they voted for.

It does. Every other republican on the ballot won by a solid margin, it's just Walker that struggled.

Yes, it's infuriating that dems can put a vegetable on the ballot and it apparently won't hurt them significantly (running against Oz certainly helped though), but if the GOP runs a merely sub-par guy they lose. But that seems to be the rule of the day.

 

[Sergeant Foley]

Sinema and Manchin both will continue being a thorn in Biden's side with regard to legislation, etc.,

Only good news is that they don't need Harris breaking ties.

 

[Vyor]

He picked bad candidates for major elections.
Like Walker in GA

What made Walker a bad candidate?

First, he's toxic. The MSM burned all their credibility on it, but they did drag him down with them (though he gave them a lot of help).

The MSM still has credibility, don't believe me? Look at how well Mark Kelly, Josh Shapiro, and Tony Evers did. The last of whom ran against a republican incumbent and still won.

MSM's power is incredibly down from what it was. Just look at the ratings.

Ratings are meaningless, always have been. Just watch their affects on media.

 

[Megadeath]

Watch the mainstream media's effects... On the media?

 

[Blasterbot]

people who I know that are default democrats still either are boomers who still believe CNN or believe whatever the google or yahoo news feed feeds them that confirms their bias. red pilling is a slow process that only effects a minority. often as not the response they have is to just double down on their blue no matter who mentality.

 

[Vyor]

I'm sorry, tell me... does Hollywood count as MSM? Video Game companies?

 

[Megadeath]

I'm sorry, tell me... does Hollywood count as MSM? Video Game companies?

Uhm... Yes? It's media, and it's pretty mainstream.

 

[Vyor]

Uhm... Yes? It's media, and it's pretty mainstream.

Ok, great.

Call me when they lose credibility.

 

[Megadeath]

Ok, great.

Call me when they lose credibility.

I never said they weren't credible.

 

[Vyor]

I never said they weren't credible.

Look at who I was speaking to when you jumped into the convo.

 

[Megadeath]

Look at who I was speaking to when you jumped into the convo.

Uh huh, I knew they were but so what? Why would I call you when video games "lose credibility" whatever that's supposed to mean?

He wasn't well spoken. Was definitely not the best in a debate and only had one with Wornock.
Walker also only had the Trump endorsement on his side compared to the others in the primaries

Warnock got a shitload of votes before the debate too.

 

[Zachowon]

Warnock got a shitload of votes before the debate too.

Well yes that too.
Again, issue with mail in before the debates.

I do feel like that hurt Walker the most
He wasn't a big enough draw from the Republican side to bring out moderates to vote.
Remeber third party spoiled the general and made the runoff happen
