    Fortunately, Gaetz is rarely correct about anything.

    Recap on what has occurred recently in consensual reality due to the #GOP rejecting women:

    Nationwide, Democrats are beating polls by 9+ points at the ballot box since Roe v. Wade was overturned.

    GOP has lost 13 of their last 15 special elections, even in “red” states.

    State GOP groups are going bankrupt in an election year.

      The Michigan GOP is out of cash. Michigan is very much a purple/battleground state.

      I really hope this is the death knell of the GOP. At this point, it needs to die. If our idiotic fucking political system was less focused on maintaining the two-party dynamic, that’d be great too, but at this point I’m just gonna call it a win if we can stop the Nazis from getting into office.

        Yah I thought we were ready for a Bernie Sanders but turns out what we actually need at the moment is a call to the fire department to put out the dumpster fire

      Nationwide, Democrats are beating polls by 9+ points at the ballot box since Roe v. Wade was overturned.

      Nitpick: Nationwide polls don’t matter. This race is again going to come down to a few tens of thousands of votes in a handful of swing states, and in those states, Trump is either much closer or actually in the lead.

      The unfortunate truth is, all that doesn’t matter if the Electoral College utterly fails at its ONE job yet again and picks the loser. Republicans will userp power wether we want them to or not if that happens. They need to be treated as the enemies of the state they are, or else we’re fucked.

          They’re supposed to protect from terrible leaders, not simply to pick the loser. Electing Trump was the perfect demonstration of how the entire concept is utterly and completely flawed.

          He should’ve been able to win the popular vote and still should have been ignored by the Electoral College. Instead, the exact opposite happened. They’re worse than useless.

            The electoral college exists to subvert the popular vote whenever the choice of the rural minority is behind. It would have no reason to exist otherwise. It has no duty to “ignore” any outcome and nothing to do with the quality of leadership besides their ability to campaign to low density populations.
