The GOP in NC fired him. You’re complaining he didn’t lose by a wider margin?

He was a terrible rep and they fired him. Good for them.

i’m proud to say that no, i don’t get it. A terrible representative got voted out. I’m glad. I’d think you’d be happy, but you’re not.

Blumenthal is still in the senate, you don’t care about that. Gee i wonder why that is.

Was he naked in a wheel chair claiming the election was stolen or lied about getting into the naval academy..

You just are unable to process he still got 27000 votes.. but if he worked at Disney he vote count would have been lower..

But he got so many votes not because of leadership or ethics or he even did a good job he got those votes for his willingness to lie tell people the election was stolen following their cult leaders endorsement. To vote for him .

And how sad is it you can win a seat with less than 50 % of the votes by 33% by a count split 3 ways


And to say well he lost. ends the disease that’s infected the GOP is
Simply not the case

So unless he lost unanimously, the GOP is bad.

"And to say well he lost. ends the disease that’s infected the GOP"

That disease is about to spread come November.

And you've gone crazy. You spend all day looking for, and posting, stories about Republicans who did bad things.

Here's the inconvenient truth...there are plenty of good and bad people on both sides. There are plenty of good and bad ideas on both sides.

Madison Cawthorn did not lose because of his despicable politics, callowness or blatant “I’m just here to troll the libs” hucksterism. He lost because he pissed off the wrong people in his own party, who successfully weaponized homophobia to bring him down.

so if he won the primary, youd say the GOP voters don’t care that he’s awful. And if he doesn’t win the primary, you’d say it was because the GOP voters are a bunch of hate mongering homophobes.

Whatever they do, you say is wrong.

Actually a lot of GOP voters including you don’t care about morals, because winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing.

Abrams is an election denier. and democrats nominated her to run.

just because something proved democrats are not as flawless as you claim, doesn’t always make it a false equivalence.

you never explain why it’s a false equivalence. never.

Lying Pete doubles down. The crappie fisherman never said that TFG never lied or should be viewed as the savor of the republic. Nor will he tell you that (more fake conjecture from lying Pete).

Tight race in Pennsylvania. Mail-in ballots could turn the race - and are still being counted days after Election Day. The fact that there are no GOP lawmakers talking about fraud or “election integrity” further exposes the deep cynicism of the 2020 big lie.

Mark Meadows was registered to vote in three different states. And the address that he actually used to vote from was never his residence. So he committed voter fraud. Imagine that.

Lying Pete, who debunks voter fraud, at least not enough to sway the election (not to worry), points out a voter huckster. Imagine that.

You’ve been claiming it’s perfectly acceptable behavior because you have the power and the “other party” has been doing it for years, now you’re claiming it’s bad?

How are those Trumplican cocaine orgies doing?

no, i don’t claim it’s acceptable. i say it’s unethical no matter who does it.

You guys claim it’s awful
when the gop does it, and never have anything to say when democrats do it.

Make that wrong.

No, actually I’m more concerned about things like this

The GOP nominee for Pennsylvania Governor, Doug Mastriano, just indicated he’ll steal the election in 2024 if he wins: “I get to appoint the Secretary of State, who [controls] the voting logs & everything. I could decertify every machine in the state with a stroke of a pen.”

you eproved my point precisely. you can’t criticize the left, never.

what are you afraid will happen exactly, if you just said “it was wrong for the NY democrats to gerrymander.”

Are you afraid you’d die?

And you think Republicans don’t want control of what you do?

A Trump-endorsed candidate in Michigan says she would vote to ban all birth control if it comes up for a vote, bc “sex ought to be between one man and one woman in the confines of marriage”
