    Hillary used the same rhetoric Trump used to destabilize an election and yet you have people on this page proudly claiming they voted for Hillary because ya know, "Stalin was bad, but at least he wasn't Hitler"

    I find that really hard to believe. Trump speaks like an elementary student compared to Clinton.

    Please reference where someone said Stalin was bad, but at least he wasn't Hitler. Feels like u just pull that interaction out of your a$$

    Republicans including u really need to look up the history Stalin and Hitler before throwing that sht around.


    I have no comment about your thoughts on Ukraine vs russia. I hope Ukraine prevails.

    LOL, same rhetoric? Remind me where Hillary said that she should be immediately reinstated as President. Remind me where she never conceded the election? Or threatened elections officials if they didn't magically find votes for her? Or supported an attempted coup? Yes, you are stuck in "whataboutism" with Hillary despite it not being remotely accurate.

    Interesting, after claiming "Its fascinating how you keep incorrectly speaking for me". I have repeatedly said the US needs to do more to help because, while Russia is failing so far in all their objectives far moreso than anyone expected and has been a clown show, they also likely have the ability to sustain this far longer than Ukraine does due to sheer numbers. I have repeatedly criticized the US response - if we had provided all these weapons we're providing now back in March, Ukraine would be in waaaaay better shape and many fewer people dead. And yes, Putin's objective - openly and publicly stated - is to rebuild the USSR. If he had run over Ukraine without Western interference, he'd already be in Moldova right now and who knows where else.

    No, Russia isn't. Their economy is a mess and the problems are accelerating. Putin is having to murder opposition forces. There are now bombings in Moscow and all over Crimea - no one ever projected any of that. As I said back in March/April, the most effective sanctions were the technology ones - they are running out of ability to produce things. Russia is one of 3 countries in the world - along with Ukraine and Belarus - that is in recession and it's only getting worse. You seem to think this is success.

    Ah yes, the "I post things I don't agree with" defense. If you don'y provide context, all we can do is assume you believe what you say - I assume you're not stupid enough to just post random tweets for no reason. If you don't want to be called on out on stupid comments, post context. Contribute something useful to the conversation. I still have no idea why you posted about Hillary in this thread - no one was talking about her, and she's irrelevant to the 2022 Midterms. And in multiple replies, you haven't clarified - so I have no reason to not think you're absolutely obsessed with her and trying to change the topic.

    Support for Legalized Abortion Grows Since Dobbs Ruling, WSJ Poll Shows - WSJ
    By Catherine Lucey
    Sept. 3, 2022 9:00 am ET

    The court’s decision to end federal constitutional protections for the procedure has injected new Democratic energy into a midterm election that Republicans expected to be dominated by economic issues. About a dozen states have banned many or most abortions since the Supreme Court’s ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.

    “Abortion is not an issue that most people, prior to Dobbs, spent a lot of time thinking about,” said Democratic pollster Molly Murphy, whose firm conducted the poll with Republican pollster Tony Fabrizio. “What Dobbs has done is one, we’ve had a national conversation about it. Two, it has gone from hypothetical to real.”


    Asked broadly about their top issue for the midterms, voters cited the economy and inflation first, followed by abortion. But when offered a choice of five issues and asked which made them most likely to vote, they put the Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade ahead of inflation.

    The margin of errors for the 2022 midterm polling is probably going to be much bigger this midterm than in previous midterms. Why? Polling self-corrects its mistakes once it discovers them - well, they don't have any historic reference for a number of things this year. We never had a few crazy things going on simultaneously. Think the Trump's effect (which polling failed to capture but is now much better known) but maybe 1.2x that.

    Crazy things:
    1- Jan 6th and MAGA extremism
    2- Overturning Roe
    3- POTUS calling out MAGA extremism

    Sorry, that’s against brand.

    We can try a little reverse psychology…

    Imagine all those liberal tears if the Rs were less ignorant and more knowledge. Imagine. I know my liberal tears would flow for months if not years.

    MTG is a fine example of the new Republican Party right wing hate spewing propaganda spreaders who do nothing but get off voting NO to everything Democrats propose. They spend their time spewing hate and lies on social media and at MAGA and Right Wing rallies. They vote NO just out of spite on bills addressing healthcare and prescription prices, price gouging and inflation, the environment, the elderly, Veterans, Medicare/Medicaid, infrastructure, climate change, etc...
    They do nothing good. Absolutely nothing.

    Is anyone going to mail in vote just because you are afraid of MAGA extremists going postal at polling stations? Right wingers are known for typing up manifestos and them finding a Walmart or synagogue and love streaming their mass shooting to a right wing audience.

    Yes we need to take polling within fair amount of skepticism. That said looking at special election and primary results so far does show things moving in Democrats favor.

    Not if Republicans are going to keep losing at it.

    Ironic.

    This is also proven by Republicans going back home and talking about how great some of the legislation is for their area. Taking credit when they voted against it.

    A great ad would be Democrats talking about how bi-partisan they've worked, and showing the GOP senators taking credit, then point out that none of them voted for the work of the Democrats or something along those lines.
