Is 2022 Elections going to be a Red Tidal Wave?

Much as I would like to see the red wave, I don't think it's coming. Too many people living off the government, powerful corrupt machines for leadership, and the ever present stylishness of collective living.

Do your best to take care of your own.

I hope you're wrong but I feel the same way. Basic Minimum is good enough for the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the Greatest Generation.

I believe they vote again in November for that seat and then maybe the voters will be more educated on the ranked voting system.

Right. They had to hurry up this special election because Don Young died.
I would think as voters become more educated about ranked choice voting they won't want it.

Yes, that is true. The Democrat elected, Palin and another Republican, Nick Begich are all on the ballot. So, the two Republicans will split the conservative vote again and the Communist will win again.

Someone needs to pull Nick aside and have him take a seat.

Honestly, I don’t follow all the politics i used to. On one of the shows I listen to, they’re talking about some bill that’s supposed to come up for a vote next week that’s supposed to “codify homosexual marriage” into US code. If Republicans think some fence sitter is going to decide to vote GOP this fall because they vote for this tripe, they deserve to loose. It’s like they never miss a chance to dampen their base’s enthusiasm to turn out. Republicans are a pile of spineless, double-talking, back-stabbing, feckless, human debris.

Sure, but how do you really feel about them?

I hear you. Too many opportunities have been wasted by lack of effort. The dumocraps certainly seem more motivated to take over the world. Maybe that comes along with being bat crazy.

I always find that just about the time the Republicans have me convinced I shouldn't vote for them again, the Democrats always serve me notice why I need to go vote for the Republicans. It's a constant cycle these days.

They make me feel like Charlie Brown trying to kick that football Lucy’s holding.

Assuming both Republicans are equally desirable ranked choice eliminates the problem of vote splitting, because they would be the first and second choices for conservative voters. The problem here is Palin is just not popular enough, so the people who voted for Begich didn't put her as a second choice.

I believe this is a side battle between the establishment candidate and a more conservative candidate. Who would pull him aside that he would listen to?

Right, they wanted a RINO or the dem, not a conservative…

IMO it IS coming, Leadeye. You can tell by how many corporate media outlets have begun running stories about how it is not and how support for Rs is waining. Their polling must be terrible

They were so unpopular they had to corrupt the vote in battleground states to pull off a win and they are even less popular now. Trying to indict Trump is a desperation move

Ranked Choice looks so good, on paper. When looking at where it's used, how it's abused and the results it produces leads me to believe it isn't as good as it looks, on paper.

Nobody. My comment was a tongue and cheek comment. Just really doesnt come across like that when typed out on the board.

I hope you're right, but the close elections, big machine power, and stylish embrace of slavery scare me.

Like with masks and shots, I’m betting there will be those critical of us that refuse to eat the bugs.
