And a purple state punishing Herschel Walker for his pro-life stance?


Is it his pro life stance or being backed by Trump?

Can’t keep up anymore with the excuses from the Jorgensen and West voters.

You have to win purple areas. GA (now), VA, NC, PA, WI, MI, AZ, NV, etc. You're cherry picking and ignoring all the data.



I picked the 4 major candidates in this cycle.

You pick the candidates. Who is the best example of someone who foolishly took a hard stance on abortion and paid the price? Tell me specifically who you are referencing.

ok, well since you want to just keep repeating the same non-answers because you're too stupid and afraid to address the actual topics, i'll just keep repeating the actual topics.

quote:

2 red states of no note for this discussion


Are you ready to explain how Marco Rubio win by a MUCH larger margin than he did 6 years ago, running against a MUCH better opponent, shortly after co-sponsoring National abortion ban legislation, when republicans would vote for democrats when it came to protecting abortion on a national level, according to you?

Are you ready to explain how greg abbott won by the same margin he did 4 years ago, against a MUCH more well known and MUCH better funded candidate, after multiple hundreds of thousands of democrat voters moved to texas since the last election, and after he signed an anti-abortion bill?

Or no, still afraid to talk about those?

quote:

A red state that rejected an abortion ban last week

Are you ready to talk about why the voters of kentucky comfortably reject an abortion ban and re-elected Rand Paul, a republican that is “100% pro-life, believes life begins at conception, and will always support legislation that would end abortion” by a 23 point margin over Charles booker, a democrat that has promised to be the vote that codified abortion if he was elected, after only electing Paul by a 15 point margin 6 years ago?

Or no, still too stupid to talk about that?

quote:

And a purple state punishing Herschel Walker for his pro-life stance?

Are you ready to talk about that purple state re-electing Brian Kemp by 7.5 points in 2022 after only 1.5 points in 2018 against the exact same candidate, after Kemp signed an "extreme" abortion ban bill just a few months before the 2022 election, and how that coincides with walker being punished for his pro-life stance?

And as an aside, are you ready to talk about the record voter turnout in georgia after their "anit-dem" voting laws were passed?

Or no, still too stupid to attempt to talk about those things?

quote:

You can run it up in red states all you want.

Are you ready to talk about the fact that Texas has the highest or second highest population of suburban white women in the country, a group you claim can’t be won with anti-abortion stances?

Or are you still too afraid to discuss that?

No. This is a straw man.



Not really. A straw man is based in a misrepresentation of the other persons argument. You stated that fighting against abortion only helps the dems on the road to power which will result in more abortions hypothetically. Your solution is to not fight the abortion issue which will of course lead to more abortions. Are you saying that if the GOP ignores the abortion issue altogether, it will somehow result in less abortions over time? At best, the GOP gains power, the left brings abortion back up at a later election cycle and you have to address it then anyway. Explain how I misrepresented your comments.

a. Red state

b. Red wave thanks to RDS

c. Anti-DEM voting laws

d. Incumbency bias

But, again, this doesn't matter. Florida is red. Texas is red. It would take a disaster to lose either.

quote:

Red state. Again, who gives a shite?

quote:

Sure.

They rejected extreme abortion laws.

They supported the incumbent.

This is not a binary, single issue paradigm that you're trying to make it.

Again. He's an incumbent. Incumbency bias is strong.

Walker is not.

This is just like KY. Voters are much more flexible than y'all imagine, b/c you're paralyzed with in/out group biases.

That's how suburban women, who are historically GOP voters, will vote DEM if abortion is a hot topic. There's a lot more flexibility in the electorate than you understand or want to believe.

Cool, those specific ones may not have cared about abortion as much as the ones you needed to not care about abortion.

Means nothing.

How are you going to win national elections by only winning safe-red states?

See that's the straw man. I didn't say that.

I said if you make abortion your defining single issue AND won't vote for a moderate Republican with less extreme (but still moderate) positions on abortion, you're giving the election to DEMs.

You can fight abortion without it being an all or nothing policy choice. The extreme right has made abortion that all or nothing policy choice. "Either you support total bans or I won't vote". It's martyrdom, at that point, and that martyrdom just increases Leftism, which will ultimately increase abortions.

So do you want fewer abortions or a symbolic position that will increase abortions? That seems to be your choice.

quote:

If only they could avoid it.

They just need more moderate positions, like bans after 15-20 weeks. That's very palatable for the majority of the country and likely will get those moderate-GOP voters back. Basically claw everything back to pre-Dobbs and it's much better for Republicans.

so the same non-answers you've been giving, with the added bonus of attempting to exclude the specific things you're too afraid and too stupid to respond to. ok, i'll keep reposting the same topics then.

quote:

a. Red state b. Red wave thanks to RDS c. Anti-DEM voting laws d. Incumbency bias

Or no, still afraid to talk about that, to the degree you won't even include the entire quote in your response?

quote:

You claiming other people are trying to make this a single issue paradigm after bleeding all over this board about abortion for almost 6 days now will never not be funny.

If only someone had the foresight to make this statement that you completely avoided responding to in a different thread:

"why were these conservative states able to understand and express the the need to keep abortion available without also voting for record inflation, out of control crime, lockdowns and mandates, etc. while blue state voters either are not capable of that or actually support those things?"

quote:

Voters are much more flexible than y'all imagine, b/c you're paralyzed with in/out group biases.

The person that lumps "republicans" "dems" "suburban white women" etc. as groups of robots that are all pre-programmed to behave a certain way typing this statement is the epitome of irony.

quote:

Cool, those specific ones may not have cared about abortion

the jokes write themselves at this point.

That's not what this thread is about. Start your own thread if you want to talk about that.

But you have been beating the drum that abortion is in your words “a losing issue” or is “a debate that’s been lost.”


There’s a difference between what I quoted at the top and the all or nothing statements you’ve posted since last Tuesday.

Sooo, maybe that's why it should be a state's decision and not Federal. An anti-murdering baby stance is a hill I'm willing to die on. If it crashes the whole conservative party then the party was never conservative to begin with. BirminghamTide (or whatever the frick his name is) thread is a perfect example of all the pussified ways we need to kneel down to progressives and meanwhile not getting a SINGLE issue in our favor. The OmniBus is a perfect example of a bipartisan effort that was shoved up our asses.

Keep it up, and Republicans will keep losing. If that's what you're after, fine, but that's what's going to happen.

Not by much.

But Trump also won it twice. So did Dubya and H. Dubya.

If you could win elections by killing Jews I would be on the losing end of that too.
