I hope it's not. I think the turnout will be much higher in November.

The difference between a sex worker and a Republican politician is that there’s things even a sex worker won’t do for money.

Well that makes me feel a bit better. I'm going to have to dig into how badly redistricting is going overall.

When Ron DeSantis is president I'm sure he'll be able to impose his will and Democrats will just sigh in submissive, gimp-like acceptance and blame progressives.

I'm sure it's my fault that this happened because I like progressive policies.

I should capitulate to moderate Democrats to fix this.

My bad, guys.

You can choose to blame or not blame establishment Dems for their role, but remember all they’re doing is yelling “vote for us” while actually in power and letting the movement grow.

I didn't see anyone else post, so here is the controversial Eric Greitens ad calling on True Patriots to kill RINOs. How fucking far have our politics come? This is insane.

Why is he not all tacticool when clearing that building?

I want to see a Democrat pull off this exact commercial and instead state they're hunting right wing Christian terrorists, but instead of guns it's 'woke' culture.

But I'd also like the commercial calling out right wing Christian terrorists with images of dead children and a society juxtaposed with ISIS and/or Al Qaeda.

Or you could just point out to anyone who identifies as Republican that they are trying to prevent Black Americans from voting, are going to increase suicide in LGBT children, and attempted a coup d'etat when their guy got fired, and they all need to royally fuck themselves.

We have two by-elections in England today, one in the South West of the country and one in the North. The by-elections are taking place as the two incumbent Conservative MPs have been forced to resign (Imran Ahmad Khan is in jail having been found guilty of sexually assaulting a teenager and the other, Neil Parish having been observed watching porn on his mobile phone (twice) during a debate in the main chamber of the house of commons).

However, even though this is the background to these by-elections, the main talking point with voters is the trustworthiness of the Prime Minister Boris Johnson. I believe this is a pretty impressive feat from Mr Johnson...

One of the best things in any democracy is how they call elections in the U.K.

All the candidates line up onstage in a town hall or rec centre and the returning officer reads the final results alphabetically. The drama is incredible as partial results are never released.

Yep, and having lost his seat as an MP, Patten was made Governor of Hong Kong and sent half way around the world to give China back 100 years of development.

PS, The Conservatives lost the seat in the SW (Porn watcher), were the Lib Dems turn round a 24,000 majority with a 30% swing to majority of over 6,000 and they also lost the seat in the North to Labour (sex offender) with a 12.7% swing.

Well, Boris is a politician who has spent his entire career running on a populist platform, so eventually people are only going to see him as an extremist c*&t.

It is what is it is in politics, once Boris started losing the ability to reach swing or even slightly left of centre voters, Conservative MPs weren't going to wait until the middle of March to buy their toga's...
