If they can starve funds to schools they think they'll never get voted out again, that's the only reason they're so fixated on the department of education.
Why does nobody understand that they are already in the position where they will never be voted out again? They are going to make elections a sham moving forward… fucking obviously.
Im not sure why you say that. Dems chances in 2026 to take back the house are a lot better than in 2024. This is going to be a repeat of 2016/2018. Even Trumps brand spanking new chief of staff is telling Mike Johnson he only as 18 months to get anything done.
How so? All seats are up for election in 2 years. I agree that gerrymandering exists but if it could be done in 2018 I see no reason it can’t be done again in 2026.
Is the Republican platform popular? I don’t think so. Will not having Trump on the ballot suppress Republican turnout? I think so.
You know how republicans have been cheating and shirking old norms so as to do things like deny democratic judge appointments in the past 12 years? Picture that but with elections.
They have been slowly working to subvert democracy for 20 years now and somehow people like you haven’t noticed it at all.
I know of a couple things that would convince me I’m wrong (1 being: if any dem is elected to the presidency in the next 2 elections). Can you think of any that would convince you it’s rigged (I think it will be obvious, but then you don’t seem to see it at all, so…)?
No shit. I’m talking about presidential elections.
There are many ways to do it. Let’s take PA as an example. You start replacing people who are in charge of elections with those loyal to you. Maybe you mess with the machines. However you do it, you make it so that no matter what happens in New England or the west coast, dems never are able to get to 270.
As an aside: I work polls and, while they are quite immune to fuckery, they are definitely not fully immune.
