2018 Midterm Election Thread

[BowlBrother85]

Is it just me or does anyone anyone else find it odd that it’s ALWAYS the Dem candidates who benefits from these protracted counts?

No, it just reflects the reality older, more conservative voters tend to vote early and younger, more left-leaning voters cast their ballots closer to election day, meaning they are tabulated later.

Election day was last week, counting should be over. Or do you not remember your side fighting to stop late votes from soldiers over seas a couple of elections ago? That's what kills me with democrats, you go along with it as long as its gonna benefit you. When it was gonna benefit Bush, heck no! Can't count them!

^^ Yeah, what that racist UGA fan said.

If you are going to allow mail in ballots, then the counting should stop when all of the ballots post marked by November 6th have been counted.

Hmmm, wonder why them damn Yankees don't swap places with all those people in Mississippi and Arkansas living under such wonderful hard-core capitalistic GOP rule.

When’s the last time you heard about someone from the south retiring and moving up north?

These charts show how Democrats represent the modern economy – and how Republicans are left behind

So the democrats are the party of wealth and big business?

Sounds like all those 2017 tax cuts helped democrats a lot more than republicans.

In that case yes let's repeal them

Fine by me ... And most Americans.

Among other results, this year's midterm elections affirmed this much: in Washington, the two parties now speak for dramatically different segments of the American economy.
Republicans represent the smaller, fading segment, with less-educated, more-homogenous work forces reliant on traditional manufacturing, agriculture and resource extraction. Democrats represent the larger, growing one, fueled by finance, professional services and digital innovation in diverse urban areas.

Democrats also represent the second group much better, they just don't realize it.

What about the bottom 50%, will you join with me and call for them to start paying their fair share?

Everyone should have skin in the game

You and other commies are free to pay more than what the law dictates. Go for it and stop crying.

This is why you shouldn’t be able to vote if you don’t pay income tax.

Without one the other doesn’t exist. The democratic party is watered down by college “educated” snowflakes that want freebies because many went to school to get a useless piece of paper and rack up tons in debt. Wasn’t the NY socialist loon working as a waitress with a supposed degree in economics?

We would not agree on what "fair" means.

And she's going to be making $174k. Seems like her degree is going to serve her ok. Wouldn't you agree?

How about a straight sales tax like Tennessee has? You don't spend, you don't pay no matter how much you make.

her degree did not get her a job in the Capitol.

Seeing as she has an Econ degree and couldn’t save enough money to afford DC for three months, I’d say no.

 

[evillawyer]

Sales taxes are terribly regressive. The poor, who need to spend all of their money on goods, pay a much higher percentage of their income in taxes than the wealthy do, who have the luxury of excess money to save and invest.

No I wouldn’t. Someone that has no idea how the real world works has no business becoming a politician. A career one at that. Maybe you can pay her first couple months rent until things pick up.
