You get what I mean. That gives Republicans 49 meaning they need to take two of Georgia, Nevada, and Arizona to gain a majority in the Senate. It is likely they take at least one of these. So, worst case scenario is dems narrowly holding senate and republicans taking control of the House. This means gridlock for the next two years. Best case scenario, Republicans take the Senate 52-48, the House, and have control of the Supreme Court.

I'm pleased with these results, especially considering the fight Democrats have put up to even get this far.

It is still pretty bad that we have to be on the edge of our seats at this red trickle instead of being relaxed about the mid-terms.

If people had the mindset that DeSantis and his posse had, you would be getting a lot better results.

The Libertarian Party has become a psy-op at this point.

2% isn't even a good showing for Ls. I still don't get how someone walked up to Herschel Walker and thought, "this is the guy that's going turn things around for the republican party." Democrats had the same cope in 2016. Election night expectations were shattered and it was everyone's fault except the weak, unlikable candidate. There's 80+ million people in the country willing to vote republican yet mediocrity seems to be what always rises to the top.

Everyone should be fairly happy that we're going into gridlock, but even with that win, republicans underperformed. This is also a good outcome for laughing at people because both sides were disappointed.
 
If Republicans wanted the Libertarian vote they should have run candidates/policies which attracted libertarians. The libertarian hate is just cope. People whine about a uniparty and then whine when a 3rd party comes around and actually gets some votes.
You want those 2% of voters? Maybe campaign on something other than the same shit you’ve been campaigning for for the last half century.

Tl;dr: libertarian hate is uniparty bootlicking. Stop whining that the status quo is blue instead of red
 
I don't know, guys... Most of Clark is in and Laxalt is down to trailing by only 3%. Not to mention, some of the rural counties have not reported yet.

It very much is.. No reason to feel bad or guilty in pointing this out. (it only makes it easier for forces to attack said system) This is the reason why our system has survived for so long and why it has such stability. It very much needs to be seen as another type of checks and balances. Just as the senate was a foil to unrestricted state demographic numbers, it was also a break on legislative ability, making sure that most of the states were in agreement or at least on-board to the extent that they didn't oppose. (the federal government was never supposed to be interfering with domestic issues to begin with, but instead issues of a union and national government. Taxes, defense, immigration, trade etc) It's another genius feature of the system, much like a constitution that doesn't try to spell out ever fucking aspect of law or every little detail about everything! Both are things under attack by prog and leftist forces, with the help of under/mal-educated slow-thinking normies. Features not failures of the system!

I fucking wish. We'd have straight blue if that was the case. Americans have picked their respective warlords and are ready to die (or send their children to die if applicable i mean lmfao who can even afford crotch goblins anymore amirite reproduction is a privilege of the elite) for them.

Attracting Libertarians loses Republicans because Libertarians have esoteric litmus tests like pedophilia.

Modern Christian heresy, largely propagated by the Majesterial Protestant denominations like the Episcopal and Lutheran Churches that teach obedience to the State as the divine virtue. Non majesterial protestants like to think they are not tainted by their icky brethren, cuz they are just so reformed and shit, but even they have happily gotten sucked into the whole hippy Jesus, respect the civil authority vibe.

To be fair, the Catholics are not much better since the whole counter reformation was also about getting people to stop murdering each other over politics and back to obeying the actual ruling government. The pope. Not those icky German Princes and Northern European kings.

You need to keep in mind just how large a shadow the 30 years war casts over Christianity and western civilization in general. It not only broke the Christian church, it also quite literally defined what a "Sovreign State" actually meant.

It just required God knows how many people to die horribly.

4 centuries later and Western Christianity is still very uncomfortable with the idea of resorting to violence in defense of the faith. The trauma is literally that long lasting. It's also not really in keeping with traditional Christian philosophy on the use of violence to defend the faith.

This is why the Orthodox Church tends to get a reputation for being "based". They never really got involved in the 30 years war. But they have spent centuries fighting infidel Muslims. So they still hold the traditional augustinian concept of just war and the use of physical violence to combat Satan and his earthly agents.

So nothing new, just the age old way of keeping the plebs subserviant, kinda like Buddhists in China being told to eat shit and suck up to the emperor.
D(T)aoists at least would be pretty lit if they ever got in power but big lol on that one.

It amuses me to no end that the party which loves to shout about how dangerous it is to even be able to publicly talk about the "wrong opinions" on issues, is also the one where it's not just acceptable but fashionable to talk about everyone who disagrees with you like such.. I mean even from a practical perspective.. If even a large fraction of your enemies so much as partially believe this is what you think.... Well let's put it this way.. If I thought someone was so delusional as to suspect me of intending to kill them or something, I'd be pretty likely to actually act in some way against them based solely on self preservation.

It's because if the argument is held under the lightest scrutiny of logic it falls flat on it's face. Almost kind of like how (mostly) everyone laughs the shit out of MTG and AOC. The retardation on both sides is extreme, either you need to 100% trust the experts and not think, or you deny the fundamental basics of logic and science*.

It's not. If it's gridlock in a narrow majority expect the GOP to cave on issues over and over for optics. Because they are "conservatives" and thus preserving the status quo, you loose if you aren't implementing "reactionary" policies since it's like trying to keep dust out of a badly sealed house.


*I was arguing with several of my bosses and co-workers (Most College educated, boomers or millenials) and they literally made the argument that:
  1. Manifolded-proteins (Prions) don't exist outside of artificially created ones
  2. Molecular genetics is fake and gay
  3. There is no such thing as Mendelian inheritance
  4. Organic Chemistry is a sham, fractional distillation is fake and gay because "You can just filter out the different fuels by the shape of their chains/rings"???
  5. Petroleum is a great big ponzi scheme because any hillybilly redneck can form bio-diesel.
  6. "we're not getting an agricultural-diesel storage tank because it would cause pollution by leaching through the container" but yet it's okay for me to use leaky canisters and no funnel (they won't buy a new one so I have to use used plastic bottles) and it inevitably leaks everywhere.
Mind you, this is a fucking agricultural operation with plant breeding for a specific chemical product.
Am I glad to take their money? Yes, but it drains my soul interacting with these people who purportedly have higher degrees than me in biology and chemistry. How the fuck they passed college (with better grades to boot!) is beyond me.
Edit: This is really, really the number 1 example of people who fail upwards Their original claim to riches was a real-estate company.

Lolbertarians aren't serious people, though. Their entire philosophy is fundamentally akin to Satanism - "And It Harm None, Do As Thou Wilt". Losers. No society can function that way.
Libertarians boil down to either Libshits who still want to be able to shoot nigger criminals, or Right Wingers who want to smoke weed in public. Both sides are imbeciles.
 
yeah its almost like the system is deliberately designed to encourage gridlock so nothing ever changes, and all this nonsense about voting and elections and the candidates supposedly not all being carbon copy plastic pod people is just an opiate to distract the masses with like any other.

I agree, but I went in with low expectations and I'm pleasantly surprised.

If the rest of the Republican party had half the balls that Desantis has, we wouldn't be in this mess to begin with.

Correct but i worry peak trans and peak woke might just be a cope for us And, and the larger population doesn't have problem with troons or even pedos. But i do have a cynical view that most people only oppose degenerate things because of fear or breaking the law, not because of moral conviction.

So because you have a stereotype of libertarians in your head we should vote red/blue until the end of time? I don’t understand how the emergence of a third party gets you people so angry. Particularly one which espouses the idea of personal liberty. Again, it comes off as assmad cope.

You want the 2% of the vote that wins elections? Pander to the “lolbertarians”. They’d rather lean red than blue. But republican candidates are so piss poor that they’ll vote libertarian to make a statement. And I don’t blame them.
