re: Some perspective on midterms and gas prices

Are said purity testers early voters? Doesn’t appear to be based on the #’s I’m seeing

Are you asking if the people who will stay at home show up in early voting numbers?

That’s why we primary grandstanders in the uniparty congress who work with Dems more than their own party

Here are the 3 reasons conservatives were attacked:

1. Voted against the BBB and the trillion dollar increase in deficit spending and an economical policy of inflation.

2. Voted against starting a foreign war.

3. Voted in favor of letting the public know about the pedophiles in positions of influence and who was behind it.

I support them on all 3.

It’s not gas prices. It’s the War in Iran

I don’t live in Brazil. Will my vote here affect their election in Brazil?

Here in my own country, the USA (where I safely assume any vote I might cast only anffects our own country and not Brazil’s), I’m only given a choice between two sides of the same coin. It’s an illusion of choice. Both parties in my country are irresponsible, big government shills and both will inevitably lead us to collapse. One just loves figs and trannies and one doesn’t.

I’m a Conservative and there is no Conservative party for whom to vote.

The party in my country that used to at least pretend to identify with Conseravtism has done abso-fricking-lutely nothing with the power they were given. They’ve increased spending and the size of government, refused to ensure fair elections, refuse to repeal socialist laws they promised to repeal if elected, failed to hold treasonist Commies responsible and accountable, started more wars, and increased the cost of living, and their base of stupid fricks has cheered and applauded while actual Conservatives who opposed that bullshite were primaried and replaced with more big-government grifters.

frick ‘em all. They’re both the same. It will be a cold day in hell before I vote for either of them.

People might not like DJT but to vote for known extremists on the left is insanity.Look what happining with all these extremists all over the world,is that what American citizens want,is the price of gas worth losing this country.Dont say that can’t happen,EUROPE said that a couple of years ago.Thats worked out well.

I wish someone would have beaten Thune if he was up for reelection. His and other "conservatives" refusal to push and pass the Save America Act which was passed by the House makes them not conservative.. That wasn't listed in your 3 items.. Did you support Thune's non action?

---

I didn't include it because most republicans supported it and it's a good thing. So that pretty much falls on Thune.

So while I wish such a thing would pass(mostly), it would be silly to hold it against people who were in favor of it.

I say mostly because it's needed, but I'm reluctant to take it beyond a state issue. In Florida you have to show your ID already, and I worry that if you give the federal government control they can later come in and force Florida to not use ID.

Its ridiculous to think folks that voted for Trump and his ideas would do complete 180 and vote for Marxist Dems. Isn't gonna happen over a couple of dollars increase in gas prices.
Don't believe the Marxist propaganda......

The people you speak of are the same type of people who are bandwagon sports fans, except it's politics with them. It's crazy to think there are people out there voting with that mindset but they exist in fairly large numbers. A shite ton of these people are the same ones who voted Obammy into office.

People can’t look ahead, even a few short years, to see the policies of President Trump will pay off tremendous dividends.

Venezuela will be, in a few years, be filling our SPR and keeping it full.

Panama Canal, basically controlled by china, is now firmly in control of the US.

The border is more secure than ever before.

Foreign investment of $20,000,000,000,000

Build in America

No more Government DEI

Cut government workforce

No tax on tips, overtime, or social security

Favored nation for medicine

Trump accounts for kids

Whooping Iran like bad dog

Greenland deal for rare earth and arctic security

Fight Fight Fight

These are just off the top of my head. There is much more coming.

Anyone that doesn’t take the ten minutes to vote deserves the communist crime ridden hellhole the left will impose while calling you a racist if you don’t kneel down to them blindly.

They didn't vote "For Trump". They voted for the campaign promises of draining the swamp, not starting foreign wars, getting rid of corruption, secure elections etc.

regardless, it is a binary choice.

If one is actually 50-50 undecided between MAGA and the DSA, then one is an imbecile. But a refusal to vote would be justified, even under the binary pretext, in such a clueless circumstance.

For the vast majority though, that is not the case. If they showed up at the polls, they would have a definitive choice. Staying at home under those circumstances essentially casts a vote for the opposition, whomever that might be.

I mean you’re correct in making that comparison. They’re pretty much the worst at this point.

That said I’m not recalling from any of my marketing classes that “hey our product sucks, but remember theirs is even worse” is exactly ideal messaging when trying to drum up enthusiasm for your product.

Them being violent revolutionaries is enough to keep most of the base grudgingly in line even after being told to GTFO if they questioned Epstein or whatever else, but it’s sure as hell not an ideal get out the vote strategy for a party without the president on the ballot and which just spent the last two years actively avoiding passing any of the agenda they were elected to enact.
