Funny how when Russia hacked the DNC the right claimed it was a sign of incompetence on the part of Democrats. But when a Trump campaign official falls for a simple spear fishing email from Iran there is "nothing to see".
Spearphishing is crazy effective. It's responsible for the vast majority of data leaks. Also, just because it's phishing doesn't mean it isn't sophisticated.

Wrong... when the Russians hacked the Democrats, they called it Russian Interference.
When Iran hacks the Trump campaign, the media has no comment.

Six years ago Republicans held the Governorship of 33 states. Now it is down to 27.
In 2018 Democrats only controlled the legislature of 7 states. In 2024 it has more than doubled to 17.
Republicans lost the last Presidential election in 2020.
Republicans lost control of the Senate in 2022.
And you think Republican policies are "working" while Democrats are "failing"?
I bet you were one of the ones who fell for the "red wave" that was supposed to happen in 2022 when the GOP lost the senate.

I guess the right wing media must be burying the story to keep from embarrassing the Trump campaign. You need to watch CNN. They are giving it plenty of coverage.

You claimed that Democrat policies were such total failures that they would not be elected for another decade. But in fact Democrat policies have been so successful they have been running Republicans out of office all over the country.

Reading comprehension Jim... I said, if the Democrats were elected AGAIN... it would be such a failure that they would be unlikely to ever get elected to office for over a decade.

But what basis do you have to predict such a 180 degree change.
It is like a baseball team being on a hot streak and you saying "I hope they win again today because that means they will start losing".
Republican policies are failing. That is why people so many people are voting Democrat now.

Man... where to start. I'll start with this administration: This administration has been an abject failure. We can chalk it up to Biden's dementia, and the likelihood that all decisions are probably being made by committee... but we have rampant homelessness, growing crime (liberal states have stopped reporting crime statistics to the FBI, thus showing a slight drop in crime, but any reasonable person can see that crime has increased), there are wars... everywhere, our oil reserves are all but totally depleted, he keeps releasing oil from the strategic oil reserves because he's trying to lower the cost of gas so it didn't hurt his reelection campaign. Even his own party forced him out because he's done such a bad job... and the only reason why things aren't worse is because the Republicans have controlled the House over the past year and a half. So we get to Kamala Harris... she's significantly more radical than most other Democrats, even more so than Biden. She wants to eliminate private health insurance, and wants to dramatically grow the side of government, yadda yadda... the polices she would enact would be disasterous.
So we can now look at California, where she comes from, and the policies she enforced when she was DA, and AG there, as well as policies that she's directly supported when she was Senator. California is likely going to end up being 70+ billion dollars in debt. It's the highest budget deficit they've ever had. The state has a law against having debt... so that likely means they'll need to issue bonds... who knows. They're also going to have to cut a LOT of things... it's going to be really, really bad. And before you call it out, here's an NPR article with the most recent budget deficit: https://www.npr.org/2023/12...get-deficit-analysis - 68 billion in deficit. The projected deficit is likely going to reach or exceed 72 billion before FY is up. I honestly don't even know what California is going to do.
Regardless... not my problem. But Kamala is 100% on board all of the policies that resulted. So it doesn't take a genius to make the assumption that a serial killer is going to kill people. A radical leftist is going to do radical leftist things in office. Even if Republicans manage to get control of one of the houses... the upper house (formerly known as a Senate prior to 1939) and the house of representatives, she can still cause economic decline through her executive orders and "behavior" in office. People respond to the idea of a positive economy... and that's bolstered by the thought that the president is actually working to implement successful policies. Companies will take additional risk and spend money. You'd understand all of this if you weren't spending time creating fake accounts and trolling on message boards.
It is hard to say for sure because these are specific state laws that I don't really know a lot about. All I know is that they are working better than he republicans who they ran out of office.
If I were to guess I would say it was a backlash to Donal Trump and the number of Republicans who sold their souls to join his cult. The Democrats surge began almost immediately after he was elected President. So it may not have been specific policy as much as it was the Republicans accepting Trumps sexist comments and the white supremacists at his campaign rallies. But I don't have anything to prove that right now. Just my opinion.
When most people on the left talk about conservatives being on the wrong side of "history" they usually point to "history" that exists today. For example.
Conservatives opposed equal rights for women.
Conservatives supported Jim Crowe laws.
Conservatives supported Prohibition.
Conservatives opposed Social Security.
Conservatives opposed interracial marriage.
Conservatives opposed stem cell research.
Conservatives opposed same sex marriage.
I am not attempting to predict the future when I sayt that conservatives are generally on the wrong side of history. Society is constantly "progressing".
Democrats never "stopped" RFK from running as Democrat. In fact he tried and failed.
Tulsi Gabbard is Republican who would not want to run as a democrat.
And how comical is it to hear Republicans squealing about Democrats choosing Harris "against the will of the voters" at the same time she is polling better than Biden.
Who is the clown in this video and why do you think he has a clue about what he saying.

You are are not only clueless, but you will blindly believe anything anyone says as long as it is what you want to hear. Who is this guy in the video anyway? why do you all cite him as an authority when he clearly does not know what he is talking about.

Is it so hard to admit it ? Tulsi Gabbard left the Democratic ticket. Why ? Blacks are leaving the Democratic ticket. Why ? Hispanics are leaving the Democratic ticket. Why ?
The rats will go down with the Democratic ship.

What a hypocrite. If he really believed that Jesus was all powerful and in control then he would not be worried at all, about politics.
So he either thinks that Jesus is too weak to do his job without the help of politicians, or else he is just flat out lying to get the votes of Christians.

Not to be rude, but your listening skills are on par with your reading comprehension skills.
Not to be rude, but you can not give a single example of me mis-hearing anything.
You can't just make stuff up in your head and claim it is true.
Seemingly, you do it quite frequently without realizing it. Maybe it's because you quit listening when you hear something that doesn't agree with your ideological world view.
Once you graduate from high school, get out into the real world, hold down a very demanding job and provide for a family you might develop the skills you are lacking.
