Umm...

"They are incredibly panicked and afraid of losing power means they have no plan to steal the election."

I'm not sure that checks out...

In fact I'm like 100% sure it's the opposite.

They are terrified of losing power so will try ANYTHING to try and keep it.

If they had grand plans to cheat, they wouldn't be acting so scared. They'd be comfortable that they've got this one in the bag.

Realistically, there will be much sharper eyes on this election, and we know some of their tricks, and it'll be much harder to pull off than a presidential election.

I have no doubt some areas will try and cheat, and some may pull it off. But if they keep up this shit, it won't matter.

I think the idea they'd only act like this if truly frightened of losing power is...working of a faulty assumption of power dynamics/political cycles.

Because the Dems could also be acting like this because they have all the levers of power behind them or in their control, thus feel they no longer need to 'slow boil' the situation, and are going full bore into their 'Great Reset' agenda while blaming all problems on Trump and/or Russia, and pulling out the stops before the midterms.

I hope you are right they are doing this out of fear, but I worry the Dems/Biden are doing it out of arrogant confidence they feel they have the power to back up.

Confidence is one of the last words I would use to describe this administration.

The surface level messaging and management is a mess I will grant you.

However I doubt Biden's handlers are as worried as we think, now that they have good old 'war-time' mindsets reemerging in some of the Boomers, and the student loan debt idea actually fulfilling a campaign promise.

They are almost far enough in for Kamala to run in 2024 and 2028 as well, if they can just pulling a 'Weekend at Burnie's' with Joe and his body doubles for a few more months.

I hope you are right and a Red Wave happens, I'm just very worried people on the Right as misreading the left's feelings and the feelings of the electorate as well, and who they will blame for what in and who they will vote against in 2022 and 2024.

Maybe my personal experiences are coloring it, but I do not see an easy or secure win in 2022 or 2024 for the GOP, regardless of who's on the ballot.

I don't think this loan bail out is actually going to last, and it was another last ditch desperate attempt to buy votes.

They may be able to play THAT to their base, though, if the courts shut it down.

But they keep fucking up, and keep pissing off the right. The right's base is extremely fired up right now. If we carry that into the mid terms, we are looking pretty good.

It's a fact that the presiding president's party loses seats in the mid terms. We know it and they know it. That's why they're scared. Biden and his handlers know he is getting impeached if the GOP get their red wave.

Also, I'd much rather have Kamala than Biden, because she's even less liked than him. Having 2 years of Kamala will help the GOP candidate in 2024.

Being afraid that they might not win is a good thing though, vecause we need to be sure people actually get to the polls. Complacency is the enemy.

They just can't pull off the kinds of cheating they did last time, though. If we get out there jn big enough numbers, no cheating is going to overcome the red wave.

Further, Biden has like 8 impeachment drafts going. Maybe even more after this speech. If we win the red wave, Biden is out. He is getting impeached.

Impeached, but not convicted. There are only 14 Democrat-held seats up for Senate election in 2022, so if Democrats remain in solidarity it's mathematically impossible to elect enough Republican senators to convict until the next cycle. (64/67)

If we go by demorat standards, then the attempt of impeachment means guilt. Meaning Biden is guilty. Sorry, I didn't write the rules. That's all on the DNP

OK, but in that case there's a distinction between guilt and conviction. Rocinante said "Biden is out." Trump served his full term. I presume Rocinante did not mean "Biden is out come Jan. 20, 2025."

Yeah, I meant out as in convicted and kicked out.

I thought there were more senate seats up for grabs.
 
So I got a crazy little theory here, I think Biden and his administration WANTS the Red Wave. Sounds crazy, right?

Well as most of you know not long ago Biden called all Republicans 'A threat to our democracy', well what happens when that 'threat' wins the majority of the elections? He now has a reason to instate Martial Law. Obviously that would incite Civil war, but perhaps that is what they want? obviously Biden isn't really running the show, so perhaps something else is afoot.

In all honesty, its sounds far fetched, but thats really all I can think of when looking over this whole conundrum.

No, I think this is just what happens when there is no strong leader, and an administration is being run by an out of touch activist committee that spends all their time on Twitter.

Imagine a room full of people who deem themselves activists, do nothing but consume twitter feeds, mainstream left wing news, and never go out and meet or talk to every day people, because all their friends and associates live the same way.

That's who is running the show in the Biden administration.

Actually, I assumed 'Little Trump Hater" was a democrat or progressive, myself.

Yeah, just a favorite comment as I usually do. The amount of seethe and cope in that thread is impressive. However, there was one bit I was really amazed at.



Twitter actually flagged a post comparing Trump Supporters to Nazis as misinformation. Haven't see that in a long time.

Democrats will have to defend more US Senate seats in 2024:
Nevada: Can Rosen survive anti-Dem sentiment in 2024?
Montana: Likely Republican pick-up
Ohio: Likely Republican pick-up
West Virginia: Likely Republican pick-up
Michigan
Maine
Pennsylvania: Casey, Jr., has 6 statewide election victories in his belt
New Jersey
Wisconsin: Expect massive pressure on US Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI) to challenge Baldwin in 2024.
New Mexico
Arizona
Washington
