Liberals would be getting crushed pretty hard in America if the alternative wasn't an alt-right/anti-truth theocratic party. However, they might keep the Senate, because of the reality of what the majority of the Republican Party has become.

As much as conservatives are scared to death of Adam Kinzinger or Liz Cheney?

Incredible that in the swing states they ran Vance (OH), Oz (PA), Masters (AZ), and Walker (GA). They will probably win OH, because it is a lean Republican state, but those are 4 awful candidates for the most important races. Bolduc (NH) was also a horrible choice. We see Vance, Masters, Walker...

I know what he did and that means he needs to be kept from the rest of society. He doesn’t “need to die” anymore than others with life in prison. I’m not interested in justice/revenge for the “sick” things he did. My philosophy is that the criminal system should serve as a system of...

My point is most cases with the death penalty aren't as obvious as these mass shooting cases. We shouldn't let the exception set the standard.

I don't think there is a point to having the death penalty. First of all, he would be on death row for like 20 years with all the appeals. That ends up being a lot of money. Secondly, forget this rare obvious specific case, there's plenty of cases where the death penalty has been enacted on...

I think Tulsi is about one thing at this point: $$$ Mainstream media loves tokens. CNN/MSNBC love ex-Republicans to bash Trump. FOX News loves ex-Democrats/black people to bash Democrats. If in this category, reasonably articulate, and can generate enough of a following you can make some good...

https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/nikolas-cruz-sentencing-decision/index.html I agree with the decision, because I'm against our eye for eye justice system. I believe that able people should have to work to earn their housing/food/medical care in prison to ease the burden on taxpayers though...

So...I'll give you that maybe he made more than $1M off of it and they should sue him for those profits he made, but he didn't make anywhere close to $965M from it. However, when it comes to lawsuits, somebody's life should have a monetary cap on it. Sure, it could be worth more in the hearts of...

However, how much damage did he really do? Is it really even in excess of $1M? Punitive lawsuits brought forward by money hungry lawyers aren't good for society even if you despise the defendant as most of the country does.

I'm no Alex Jones defender, but I honestly don't understand how we as a country allow these stupid lawsuits involving Monopoly money. He didn't do $965M in damages to the families. That's $64M/family in the lawsuit meaning nobody in the family would ever have to work again. How the hell do they...

https://www.statista.com/statistics/727847/homelessness-rate-in-the-us-by-state/ If you look at it by rate the West Coast is pretty bad. This is probably a combination of more favorable weather (especially for HI) and more liberal political environments (more services, more lenient drug laws)...

I think hate speech (no matter how ill-informed) should be tolerated until people call for illegal violence against a group. Saying you're going death-con 3 on a group of people when you wake up counts as a violent threat.

If Sinema loses she will likely be replaced by a Republican. If Manchin lost a Republican would be guaranteed to take that seat. The problem isn’t the filibuster, (needing 60 votes to pass legislation is a good idea to slow things down, make sure there’s general consensus, and stability) it’s...

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/10/06/politics/ben-sasse-resigning-senate/index.html I think this is interesting, because not only is he 1/7 GOP senators who voted to impeach Trump, unlike Collins/Murkowski he’s not a moderate at all. Not even close to being one. Sasse is really, really...

The GOP really messed up here. It's one thing to nominate a candidate like this in CA where you have no shot, but GA should have been a slam dunk. They also nominated terrible candidates in AZ, PA, and OH which should have been easy wins in an off year.

Don't you think that Roe v. Wade being overturned was a massive gift to Democrats? We haven't seen a right of the people get taken away like that in a long time. Before that Republicans were doing much better in the polling for 2022. We'll see how much it carries over to 2024.

Yeah, but they didn't run against Trump who's currently at -20: https://www.newsweek.com/trump-approval-rating-nbc-poll-biden-1744094 If Democrats were running against a more generic Republican like a Marco Rubio they would be in much worse shape.

Obama had proven by 2012 that he wasn't some super progressive candidate. His Wall Street bailouts pissed off a lot of people (on both the left and right) which created movements like OWS. What Obama has that Clinton/Biden don't is that he was our first black president. It was always going to be...

And black voters aren’t historically progressive. They went heavily for Clinton and Biden in the primaries over Sanders.
