Members janea4old Posted November 10, 2023 Members Share Posted November 10, 2023 That cnn article says something preposterous: "As a moderate, Manchin has worked to find compromise". That is complete bullsh!t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted November 10, 2023 Members Share Posted November 10, 2023 Yes, Mississippi, like many Southern states such as Louisiana, Texas and Georgia have a well known history of voter suppression. Still, Presley didn’t seem to be a very magnetic candidate and bragging about his anti-abortion credentials on the campaign trails was never going to do much to distinguish himself from the opposition candidate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 10, 2023 Members Share Posted November 10, 2023 Another example of how lawless and dangerous many Republican legislatures are in ways that even elections no longer counter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted November 10, 2023 Author Administrator Share Posted November 10, 2023 A republican will most likely win the Manchin senate seat, right? For all of Manchin's issues, at least his seat helped the Dems control the senate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted November 10, 2023 Members Share Posted November 10, 2023 Correct. That's why it's CRUCIAL for Democrats to show up at the polls next election, as there are several swing states in contention. It won't be a cakewalk, but I think we can do it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members janea4old Posted November 13, 2023 Members Share Posted November 13, 2023 (edited) https://twitter.com/DougJones/status/1723867815931765116 Doug Jones @DougJones Well here you go. This article confirms what we’ve known all along: there is an orchestrated effort by Republicans to get third parties like No Labels and independent candidates to run for President in order to dilute the votes of Joe Biden and put Trump back in the White House. Sen. Steve Daines, the head of the RSCC spend months trying to persuade Trump to endorse the governor of West Virginia in a Senate bid agains Joe Manchin. Here’s the quote: “Daines argued to Trump that endorsing Justice could knock Manchin out of the race — and make the Democrat more likely to run for president, siphoning votes from Biden.” Come on @JoeManchinWV, don’t take the bait! https://www.politico.com/news/2023/11/09/inside-the-gops-operation-to-retire-manchin-00126472 ____________________________________ Edited November 13, 2023 by janea4old 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms2 Posted November 16, 2023 Members Share Posted November 16, 2023 ^ So much depends on an 81 year old man living another year. The saying "there are no atheists in foxholes" always annoyed me. Even when my son was crashing during birth I didn't pray, but you know what? I have started praying for Joe Biden. This poor man should be hanging out on Rohobeth Beach with his grandchildren. Meanwhile, he is stuck in an incredibly stressful job trying to save the free world from Trump. I cannot even imagine what four more years of Trump would do to this nation or the world. I want to believe that people are not this stupid, but I don't. I'm not sure they make an antidepressant strong enough to get me through another four years of that madman. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members I Am A Swede Posted November 16, 2023 Members Share Posted November 16, 2023 I can't believe book banning is still a thing in 2023! It conjures up horrible images from the not so distant past.... Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
