The candidate that gets 270 electoral votes wins. In most states, the candidate who gets the most votes and not a majority wins all the electoral votes for that state.

To do it over and over again may be morality, but it isn’t politics.

The title did not prepare me for the absolute horrors in the article.

This has to be the most persistent, stupidest reading of the vote.

Doing something that resonates with your base and, frankly, most Americans, could help. I can’t help you beyond that.

It’s far more complicated than that to get an amendment passed including a route that doesn’t require Congress.

Second, there is value in trying things that will fail. It sends a signal to the citizenry that this isn’t acceptable. This can be a good just as much as it can damage their reputation. In my opinion, the Dems need to rebuild a reputation that is connected to the people in some meaningful way. I don’t get the sense that Democratic leadership see that as the core issue

They may need to.

They are not capable.

Can’t wait the Mike Judge limited series on this.

I didn’t want to have to read this, but no one summarized it. So here’s a summary.

1. The Dems picked up seats in the House.
2. The Democrats lost four Senate seats. Three of those were in states that were solidly red for a long time.
3. In high level state elections, nothing changed.
4. It wasn’t that bad . They really only lost the presidency which is probably Biden’s fault.

And now my retort.

1. They picked up two seats. In doing so, they failed to control the House buy 3 seats. In 2022, they lost 9. In 2020, they lost 13. It was only in 2018 that they won a ton of seats: 42. MAybe this is a good omen for 2026, but we have to worry about today.
2. Who gives a fuck. Like honestly? The failings of the Republicans to be able to flip a seat in 2018, the last time these seats were up, is not an indicator that you had your shit together.
3. I don’t know how you consider this a good thing. Are you playing for the win or just not to lose?
4. “Other than that, how was the play Mrs. Lincoln?” Jeez … There’s been a lot wrong with the Dems for a while, but pretending that losing the presidency isn’t one of the worst things that can happen to them is silly. They continually failed to secure power in multiple branches and at multiple levels because at the heart of their game was the presidency.

I also think his conclusion on why Biden lost is wrong. I think people wanted the ambitious projects that the Biden administration offered. They failed in messaging it, they failed to connect with the worries of average families as inflation soared, or with young people as rent skyrocketed and we sent bombs to Israel. So many things went wrong for Biden at the end including a prolong decline into mental difficulties. When the Dems had a chance to distance themselves from all that, they picked someone wasn’t able to do it. She lacked the ability to connect with the real concerns of people at an emotional level. Heck, I don’t think people wanted Trump, but they didn’t see a better option. Just more of the same.

I remember getting a hint guide book. It’s have the particular issue in red letters and a white background. Under it was a red box with the answer obscured by the red box. You’d use a red filmed decoder to hover over the red box and then read the answer.

Then at one point game companies had a 900 hint line. I finally used it once. I kept on dying and seeing the death cut scene. So I’d pause and reload. And die again. I swore I had the right answer. Finally, I gave in and called the hint line. First and only time. Turned out when you solved the puzzle, it started the same as the death cut scene and then something happened and you make it through alive.

Then explain “X, a Jesus”. He did some cool miracles and shit.
