It's not 3rd parties it's the really retarded ranked choice voting system. A candidate needs to receive 50% +1 of the vote to avoid ranked choice kicking in. Once that kicks they start with eliminating the lowest vote getter and count the 2nd choice selections of his supporters as votes. It's a terrible system. It's how Mary Peltola became the first democrat elected to the House by the state of Alaska. She only received 38% of the vote and still got elected. Nick Begich and Sarah Palin were running against her and split the conservative vote. Ranked choice voting kicked in and a lot of Begich's supporters picked Peltola rather than Palin as their 2nd choice and Peltola won the election. You can also than ranked choice voting for giving Lisa Murkowski another term in the Senate. Kelly Tshibaka actually received more votes than Murkowski but did not receive 50% + 1. Ranked choice kicked in and the democrat candidate only received 10% of the vote, but her supporters picked Murkowski as their 2nd choice and Murkowski went back to the Senate. So we've got a US Representative in Congress who only received 38% of the vote and a Senator who was not the leading vote getter all because of ranked choice. If it ever comes up a a ballot measure in your state, vote it down! My daughter can deflate your daughter's soccer ball. | |||

I believe this is true in many cases. "Normal" dems and moderates who just can't stand Trump (based mostly on false left news) can't see through the blood in their eyes. But many of their beliefs are in line with ours. It's really pretty tragic. Those who are red pilled or walkaways are a truly great exception! They had to alter their way of thinking and I'm grateful, but it had to be a very hard thing to do. SIGforum: For all your needs!

How is this “ranked choice” crappy, even legit? One person, one vote right? Sounds like each person is getting two or three votes… What part of "...Shall not be infringed" don't you understand???  | |||

At this point, DJTs safety concerns me. Two attempts on his life in the run up to the election. The risk has to be higher for him now, given all crazies out there. USSS, step up your game! End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

I’m very disappointed that my county went for the Kackler. We tend to be solidly red for most countywide offices. This was a surprising result for me. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” | |||

So many of my older relatives (all gone, now) were like that. They seemed to think that Democrats could do no wrong, and Republicans were evil. No explanation, that's just the way they were. הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | |||

Trump lost NY by fewer votes than Kamala lost TX. I think with a narrowly focused effort a La. PA by Scot Presler, they could flip NY in next few elections. | |||

This is truly a great move by Trump. I wonder how much of that campaign money was spent on lavish hotels, dinners, etc., as opposed to paying the vendors that are now clamoring for payment for services rendered. I think a full accounting is in order so everyone understands how the DNC was spending all of that hard earned money from American Citizens.

I guess I don't understand this. Why reward the dipshits for their continued incompetence? Do you think Oprah, Beyonce, Big Mike showed up free of charge? Maybe I'm wrong, but fuck unity with the GDC's! | |||

Agreed, this is a time for Trump to keep a lower profile, listen to his USSS protection detail, and put his safety first. JD Vance is also now in a similar position and I don't put it past any of these nutballs to try again.

I don't think we really realize that winning hasn't really started yet and this fills me with joy. https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1855302040874012838 ...let him who has no sword sell his robe and buy one.
