I mean jesus christ there was a slight dip in turnout for the MAGA people but 15 million dropped off the face of the planet for the Dems from 2020. That’s gotta be fucking historic. I do hope this will be a radicalising moment for a lot of well-intentioned liberals.
They fumbled 4 states that Biden flipped, and Trump came pretty fucking close to flipping NY. If this doesn’t awaken people to the political dead end that is the Democratic party I don’t know what will.
Virginia also almost flipped for Trump. Harris Won by like 52-47 when the polls had her 10 points ahead. Shows you what the Cheneys accomplished in Ratheon Acres.
“They almost lost New Jersey. Liz Cheney? What were they thinking? That’s not appealing to democratic voters.” He takes off his reading glasses and he puts down the New York Times. They’re at the Bing and they are about to eat. After Silvio’s comment Christopher and Paulie go at it.
“Maybe she was the wrong - whatchamacallit… Surrogat?”
“Ohhhhh! Listen to Mr. Pundit over here. Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh.”
“At least I show an interest in the world.”
“Mr. Pundit. Heh-heh-heh-heh.”
Tony is coming in just as Silvio says “Surrogate,” like a pronunciation coach
Tony is annoyed and looks with Silvio with venom and says “No politics.” He pauses for effect. “Do we have a problem?”
“No Tony,” says Silvio meekly.
I mean the only dems on that show would be psychologist, music producer, and tony’s daughter. Son would be posting here
Ray* Acres is the place for me
Military is the life for me
Land spreadin’ out so far and wide
Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside

*Raytheon has too many syllables.
I haven’t thought about that song for decades but the words “Raytheon Acres” made me think of it almost immediately.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
supposedly the drop in democratic voters was because everyone in 2020 did mail in ballots because of the pandemic, and that easy method of voting was not available as widely in 2024.
which means democrats fucked up by not passing a law making mail in ballots universal.
The fact that Biden and the dems couldn’t get voter reform passed is honestly pathetic. I know Sinema was doing… her thing. But you can’t tell me the political parties don’t get real dirty (like threatening the lives of family members or something) when they really need someone to fall in line.
You got me curious so I went looking for numbers and I think you’re right.
2020
Total Early Votes: 101,453,111 • In-Person Votes: 35,811,062 • Mail Ballots Returned: 65,642,049 • Mail Ballots Outstanding: 26,576,729 Voters have requested a total of 92,218,778 ballots in the reporting states.
2024
68,235,905 mail-in and early in-person votes requested nationally
I do hope this will be a radicalising moment for a lot of well-intentioned liberals.
They’re getting radicalized alright, just not in the direction you would hope for.
They either are going into a) full-on doomerism, this country sucks, will never elect a woman, is fully racist, etc. Which does make sense.
Or b) they’re getting mad at the Dems, which is my preferred outcome so glad to see it happening all over the place.
Or c) they’re getting mad at minorities, including Latinos and Arabs. Which sucks but is not unexpected either in this fascist af country.
You also can’t just be like “Nothing comes to mind” when asked what you’ll be doing differently than your historically unpopular predecessor.
Ettingermentum put it well on Hasan’s stream, the Dems lost because they insisted on doing the politics they want to do while consistently telling the electorate to go fuck themselves.
Something did come to mind though: More genocide and more bipartisanship with the party she is saying is full of insane fascists
Offered nothing except ‘not Trump’ for the third time in a row
