    The dems checked out of this fight.

    She’s in Hawaii, and the dems who lost are not showing up for judicial appointments, and they are barely squeaking by.

    They talk a big talk but are absolutely limped dicked when it comes to actual fighting.

    Falling on deaf ears at this point. The controlled opposition party Democratic Party has already handed the keys to the kingdom to ensure a smooth transition of unchecked power.

      If trump and the project 2025 architects are as dangerous as they say and I believe they are, they have been extremely limp-dicked and complacent from Biden saying he was gonna “give it his best” to his shit-eating grin “welcome to the white house” to trump.

      Something is off here…

        The majority of the American people voted for project 2025 to run the US… What do you want him to do? It’s the will of the (very stupid and bigoted) people

          Yeah, but he didn’t have to be cheery about it like it’s nothing and they were bullshitting about him being a fascist all the time.

          PS: ok, it seems to be a nonchalant “tis but a scratch” reaction to incoming doom.

          Hmm, careful. It was not a majority of American people. Trump didn’t win over 50% of the popular vote, and this doesn’t consider the people who did not vote.

    I’d be interested to see what the 600 “bullet ballots” in Maricopa County are all about. As a hotbed of election denialism and a swing state it’d be interesting to see if there really were that many people who were only interested in voting for president and nothing else.

      Talk to people. This is actually fairly common. Many people don’t follow politics closely enough to make informed decisions about ballot questions, and plenty of others simply don’t care. Lots of people couldn’t name the mayor of their town, their US Representative, or even their Senators. Plenty of people will go there to vote for one thing and ignore the rest because they either don’t know or simply can’t be bothered.

      If I recall reading correctly, I think the average for this is about 1-2% of voters per state. I know there’s some controversy because that number is higher in battleground states, but these are Trump voters we’re talking about here, and I could easily see them turn out in droves for their god-king and ignore the rest of the ballot, because the only thing they cared about was getting Trump back into office. No reason for a Trump voter to do that in California, because it isn’t going to matter. Pennsylvania is a completely different story, which is probably why we’re seeing it happen so much in battleground states.
