Cugel the Clever posted:I'm increasingly curious just how far we are from Covid's disproportionate impact on CHUDs meaningfully impacting elections. While vaccinated folks can still contract and transmit the virus, the likelihood of severe impact is drastically reduced (and the likelihood of death just as dramatically smaller on top of that). If one political party keeps rabidly encouraging its members to play Russian roulette, its obviously not going to end well for their vote counts even if those who survive still vote for them. 40k more fatalities are expected in the US in just the next four weeks. i don't think you understand the magnitude of the gerrymandering that has already happened, not to mention the bench stuffed to the gills with people who see it as their duty to refuse to overturn them. then there's the senate, which short of a few more democratic states being added or a constitutional convention will remain firmly in the GOP's grasp for decades. they don't care because they've already entrenched their power; short of tens of millions dying, nothing is going to change that and that's why they give zero shits about their voting bloc throwing themselves onto the funeral pyre. stealie72 posted:It's not going to flip Montana but a few tens of thousands dead that are heavily weighted to Republicans could make a difference in Florida.

brains posted:lol if you think free and fair elections will ever happen in florida again, or that the GOP there won't do absolutely anything to sabotage the vote permanently in their favor now that they have full control of the government. It takes a lot for me to not constantly ask "oh yeah? What are you going to do to stop it? Because yeah. We likely have already seen the last fair-ish election.

mlmp08 posted:Deplatforming concern trolls of yesteryear(s) can shove it. The cynic in me thinks this divorce is just a tactic to protect assets from a lawsuit they expect to lose (possibly in addition to hating eachother). Derek and Kellie Chauvin did the same thing in their divorce. "According to the December proposal: Kellie Chauvin's share of marital assets was $658,461; Derek Chauvin's share was an $8,862 debt. After all assets and debts are factored in, Kellie Chauvin would receive $703,717; Derek Chauvin would receive $420,768."

Gunna guess "be backed up by a 5-4 SCOTUS ruling that roughly says democrats winning too much is unconstitutional" is part of it.

DeSantis won by fewer votes than the number of people who have died to covid in Florida. FL’s legislature is hopelessly gerrymandered, but the state’s population is very close to 50:50.

Yeah, as gerrymandered as things are, there's still a ton of downballot races across the country that have the potential to be competitive. Whether it's at the state, local, or even school board level, CHUDs committing mass suicide has a chance to push the needle (especially as it's unclear where the ceiling is for fatalities). If nothing else it's currently killing off a bunch of true-believer young radicals who might have otherwise taken the reins from the older generation. While they're all dumb shits, the self-winnowing risks depriving the party of the more competent dumb shits who might have been its future leaders.

entirely consistent with their philosophy. corporate oligarchies are great and A-OK as long as liberals don't get a say. democratic government is terrible because other people get to put their opinions in.

Some of the voting laws recently written say poo poo like they can just over ride the election results if they The Republican party is playing footsie with straight up one-party, authoritarian "for national security Democrats are now illegal" poo poo and their base deeply, desperately desires that outcome.
