    All of Long Island pretty much went red.

    Everyone is pretty much tired of high taxes and the failed bail reform.

    Let's see how this goes.
    Not surprising 
    That one I have heartache w too.  The public was pretty much lied to about that one.
    It also seems as if voters have moved on from covid.

    Not surprising.  As horrendous as the cost may be to the at risk I think many people are tired of putting their lives on hold for this.

    I mentioned in the Virus thread that yes, my town I live in COVID has moved on.  No one we know has got sick.

    It's really weird...

    Not weird if a majority of people are vaxxed or have some natural immunities.  If your town never got touched and no one got vaxxed, that would be weird.

    I certainly don’t want to put my posting privileges in jeopardy but I thought the same thing. The names that poster has called Democrats and the post itself about the 30% not being deleted…..I get there’s a link which makes it legit (?) but if you’re going to remove our posts then remove them all.  The threat against liberals is real and my first response wasn’t funny or untrue.

    We do go off on tangents.  That's how conversations flow.

    Now how about that GOP sweeping across Long Island?  Dems hold the city but that place has been in a slide for a while now.

    Kat--If that was directed towards me...two thirds of the GOP still refuse to acknowledge Biden won (yet they have no answer as to why the dems just didn't rig Tuesday's elections in states they control). So I'm in a GOP thread asking a purported member of the GOP who the president is.

    I apologize if that is out of bounds but I'm really legitimately curious what republicans think about about that seemingly simple question. I thought that would be okay. 
     
    Please delete if out of bounds. Sorry.

    It's totally directed at you. He's a troll, sure. But you respond to him with that same response every time. Bentleyspop pretends his grandfather told him not to feed trolls. Heed the make-believe grandfatherly advice.

    As for the current state of things, the loss in Virginia and narrow win in New Jersey should have the democrats and their mouthpieces on MSNBC and CNN rethinking things. I couldn't believe Joy Reid and company were going on about white supremacy after it. That's the shit that's costing the democrats. It'll cost them in 2022. And if it keeps up, you know what could happen in 2024.

    It was not directed at any one person. Just trying to keep the peace and spread some love. 
    Did you watch what Rachel Maddow said about the election trend with VA and NJ? She found some better news for Dems. 
    Then there's the James Carville comment about being woke that I haven't looked into yet...we could discuss that stuff. You decide which thread, ok? :)

    I guess people can decide if they want to win elections or if they want to stand up for what is right.

    A shame these things can't be the same.

    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    Just read Carvilles statement and I agree.  People see it's stupid and won't say it out loud.  Then again some things do need to stick.

    James Carville Says ‘Stupid Wokeness’ Costs Democrats at the Polls (msn.com)
    He went on, saying that what he sees as wokeness “has a suppressive effect all across the country on Democrats.”

    “Some of these people need to go to a ‘woke’ detox center or something,” he said. “They’re expressing a language that people just don’t use and there’s backlash and a frustration at that.”

    Couldn't agree more.  The whole "woke" attitude simply reeks of arrogant self-righteousness.  It' a major turn-off to the average moderate thinking person and an insult to people sincerely trying to make positive progressive change happen in this country.  It's the kind of attitude that is helping build the radical right.

    No he isn't..the sad fact is that people would rather hear half truths and distortions than face the legacy of racism for once. What woke talking points were on the ballot in virginia again? Oh yeah, I won't make you wear a mask, I won't mandate a vaccine, I won't ever tell your kids that Virginia was one of the last states to desegragate and that the slow desegregation has a lasting legacy today...No people didn't go out and vote against wokeness or for sensible middle of the road policies, they voted for denial.
