US midterms: The conspiracy theorists running to control 2024 vote

A coalition of candidates who have falsely claimed the last US election was stolen is running for office - this time in a bid to control the 2024 vote in key swing states. The group's founders also have deep connections to another conspiracy theory, QAnon.
When Donald Trump called him up onto the stage at a rally in Nevada last month, Jim Marchant seized the opportunity to hammer home his campaign message.
"We have something in common," he told the raucous crowd, with the former president standing beside him. "President Trump and I both lost an election in 2020 because of a rigged election."
While both men continue to spread false theories about their past defeats - the Nevada businessman lost his race for Congress - Mr Marchant also made clear he's looking to the future.
"When my coalition of secretary of state candidates around the country get elected we're going to fix the whole country and President Trump is going to be president again in 2024," he declared.

The last Trumplican lost the House, Senate and the Presidency.

And you’re still listening to Ronna Romney.

Meanwhile Donald Trump has put Ron DeSantis in a hilariously precarious position. Does he retaliate giving Trump a nickname and further this feud thus alienating the MAGA movement or does he sit there and act like the weak coward he always was? Either way this is going to be ENTERTAINING.

ABC/W Post poll (registered voters):

A year ago: R 51% - D 41%. That would have been a wave.

Now: R 49% - D 48%. The one point margin unchanged from six week ago (R 47% - D 46%). Likely voters are almost same at R 50% - D 48%.

No wave. A level playing field with slight R tilt.

NBC poll:

D 47% - R 47% (registered voters).

D 48% - R 47% (likely voters).

A level playing field.

Ya better send Ronna Romney more money

well you said not long ago the democrats were poised to win, you said today they’d do better than -13.

well he is in the FL governors house, and even though his state has more people than the state of NY, FL spends about half what NY spends, there’s no state income tax in FL, and what he created in FL, is a place where huge numbers of people want to move. He’s spending way less money, and creating a place where people are flocking to.

That’s called “winning.”.

i’d say the gop picks up 25-30 house seats ( above average), and senate stays 50-50. but my predictions are awful.

this is uniquely republican obviously...

no wait....

“I’m going to now direct this at Vice President Biden: I do not believe you are a racist, and I agree with you when you commit yourself to the importance of finding common ground,” she said, looking over at him. “But I also believe, and it’s personal—it was hurtful to hear you talk about the reputations of two United States senators who built their reputations and career on the segregation of race in this country. And it was not only that, but you also worked with them to oppose busing. And, you know, there was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools, and she was bused to school every day. And that little girl was me.”

Biden, taken aback, plodded through a response. She was mischaracterizing his position, he said. That’s not what he stood for, and she knew that. He found his way to the end of the answer and stopped speaking.

A few minutes later, the moderators paused for a commercial break. Biden leaned over to Pete Buttigieg, at the podium to his right. They barely knew each other, but Biden was looking for someone to share the moment with.

“Well,” he said, according to multiple people to whom the conversation was relayed afterward. “That was some f---ing bull#^&#^&#^&#^&.”


Jill Biden said Kamala Harris could ‘go f*** herself’ after 2019 debate attack on Joe, new book claims...

‘With what he cares about, what he fights for, what he’s committed to, you get up there and call him a racist without basis?’

Poor victim, don’t worry Herschel Walker claims he has a plan to combat inflation, but he’s not giving it away right now because Revered Warnock will steal it.
Ever wonder why Trumplicans don’t explain their plans for battling inflation and reducing prices? Because they don’t exist.

If the GOP regains power, they’ll pass tax cuts for the rich that will not solve inflation. Let me remind you: The GOP doesn't give a damn about inflation. All they care about is padding the pockets of their ultra-rich donors.

Clorox has recently raised prices by 12%. But the company doesn’t have to worry about losing customers because they already control ~60% of the consumer bleach market.

This isn’t the “free” market. Corporations are raising prices because they have the monopoly power to do so.
In some parts of America, Clorox(bleach) is a preferred medicine. Remember.

Hey, my recent predictions in these big elections haven't been much more accurate than Pete's have been, so while I obviously hope he has reason to be bitter, who the heck knows?

I can't believe Fetterman may well be going to the US Senate.

Who's the victim? Scott destroyed your argument, and I piled on. In what universe would anyone conclude we were the victims in that exchange?

"Poor victim, don’t worry Herschel Walker claims he has a plan to combat inflation, but he’s not giving it away right now because Revered Warnock will steal it. "

Is that sort of like Biden claiming he was going to cure cancer, but only if he won?

"If the GOP regains power, they’ll pass tax cuts for the rich"

Trumps tax cuts did not only benefit the rich. He lowered the marginal rate for every single tax bracket, and he doubled the standard deduction, which increases the number of people who pay nothing.

So I don't know what you're basing it on, when you say the next round of tax cuts will only benefit the wealthy.

"that will not solve inflation."

Is anyone saying tax cuts are the answer to inflation? Having less money in circulation, and addressing supply side issues, will help solve inflation.

"Let me remind you: The GOP doesn't give a damn about inflation. "

If you say so. Funny though, the democrats are the ones who have been dismissing inflation for the past year. Must be nice to be mind reader, I guess that explains why you're always right.

"Clorox has recently raised prices by 12%"

Wages are up, cost of raw materials are up. That means prices will go up.

Your side is whining about price gouging being the main culprit here, and that's easy enough to prove. Look at profit margins (not profit dollars, but margins) for the S&P 500 for the past 20 years.

The 5-year average profit margin for the S&P 500 is 11.3%. For the 3rd quarter 2022, it is 12.0%. Not clear evidence of big time price gouging. profit margins are expected to increase to 12.5% next year. A whopping 1.2% above the 5-year average.

"Corporations are raising prices because they have the monopoly power to do so."

Wages aren't way up? Cost of raw materials aren't way up?

Poor victim.

did the three billionaires steal anything from anyone Pete?

Even Biden said recently that success isn’t finite, that one persons success isn’t the cause of anyone else’s struggle.

which party is running the federal government at the moment? if that wealth gap is at its worst now, whose fault is it?

The wealth gap isn’t fair, but elon musk isn’t the reason why poor people exist.

Wealth never “trickles down”
It “trickles out” in excess profits, in tax avoidance & tax evasion.
It’s why the gap between rich & poor just grows.
It’s why tax havens & food banks both flourish.

You really are clueless and are in the cult if you actually think he was. saying republicans were going to personal and physically . Kill children by rounding them up

The GOP will be killing more than children and many of their supporters if they do what they want to do and cut entitlements programs
All while once again claiming they are being fiscally responsible .



And don’t even mention how many Ukraines will die this winter when Republicans pull funding

But again you’re ability to see the words of people you disagree with literally .

But all republicans words about the election denialism or not allowing people to fix their ballots and anything that passes their lips

You avoid again and again like the plague..

Kremlin-connected entrepreneur Yevgeny Prigozhin admitted Monday that he had interfered in U.S. elections and would continue to do so — confirming for the first time the accusations that he has rejected for years.

"Gentlemen, we have interfered, are interfering and will interfere. Carefully, precisely, surgically and in our own way, as we know how to do," Prigozhin boasted in remarks posted on social media.

So how should we take this literally or hyperbole

you tell me i took it in the wrong context, but you won’t tell
us what the correct context was.

i don’t think you watched the video.

watch it, and tell us what he meant. he said children would be arrested and, conceivably killed, if the gop wins.

Please tell me what he meant and what the correct context was.

can you point to a single republicans who said he will vote to gut social
security or medicare? without offering a replacement? who is saying that, exactly? and did they mean it, or are you taking it out of context?

i don’t avoid anything you post. why would
i?
