Man... you Dems are losing full states that have been blue since GWB's terrible presidency.
There's only 14 safe Dem Governors now, and 3 of those aren't even having a race this year.
He started off his Presidency* with millions of fraudulent unsolicited mail-in ballots, and ended up being hated more than Lil' Bush.
Good thing for Dems they're going to pick up 3 tiny little North Eastern Seaboard states. Have fun with those heating oil prices this winter.

I don't feel like digging it up now, but it shouldn't be too hard to find.
There's a hot mic leak at an airport on the internet right now where Schumer is telling Biden and Harris that they're in big trouble.

Almost 8 Out Of 10 Americans Say Things Are "Out Of Control"; New Poll Finds
Monday, Oct 31, 2022 - 08:05 AM
Steve Watson via Summit News,
A new CBS News Battleground Tracker/YouGov poll has found that a whopping 79 percent of Americans believe the country is “out of control” ahead of the mid term elections.
Just 21 percent responded to the say that they feel things are “under control,” and when that 79 percent were asked which party they will vote for a majority of 58 percent said Republican, with only 34 percent saying they will vote Democrat.

hings-are-out-of-control/
About the poll: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/poll-republicans-lead-house-2022-10-30/
I can't imagine which 21% thinks things in America are under control. They must live in a bubble in their heads, or they're getting so rich offa speculation that inflation isn't bothering them.
Of the nearly 80% who think things are "out of control" why are 34% voting "Democrat"? Do they really think that "more of the same" will bring us back to a realistic path?
Anyway, assuming that everyone who thinks things are "in control" will "stay the course" and vote for Biden (the article didn't specify who those people would vote for), and those who think things are "out of control" but are planning to vote for "more of the same" anyway, that means 46% will definitely vote Republican, and there is an absolute 6% undecided.
Somehow, this translates to a red wave.

Why can't we have sensible policies and a sensible government?
Dem propaganda is reaching a fever pitch, with many Dems actually worried that if the GOP takes over, we will no longer have a "functioning democracy". Have they not kept up with the times? Our functioning democracy took a hit with the Kennedy, MLK and Malcom X assassinations, and was killed off by media oligopoly censorship and money.
Neocons of BOTH parties are also raising hysteria to "boiling over" levels, with Russia and China cast as evil tyrannies with supernatural powers plotting to "somehow" enslave the world, instead of the "nations among nations" that they are. Nuclear, economic, and military powers, to be sure, but not with magic superpowers.
The DNC strategy of creating a "woke" crowd is splintering people into competing teams in the Victim Olympics. And then there's the Climate Extinction Brigade. Meanwhile, the "red pilled" crowd is running in the total opposite direction, denying anything in the news, no matter how fact-based and consequential it might be.
Jeez!
We desperately need to sort out our own house.
First, we need to ensure our energy future. I remember the "oil shock" days under Carter, when energy independence was high priority. Well, that was about 50 years ago, and in the time since then we've pumped up all of our cheap oil and it's not coming back. But we CAN be energy-assured if we stop sanctioning the biggest oil producers, and embark on a deliberate program of conservation and alternate energy (and maybe even nuclear energy) with the goal of sustainable energy independence. No, we won't "get there" tomorrow, but we CAN get there in 10-15 years. Are we afraid of big, ambitious, patriotic programs?
We need to assure ourselves of food. America is usually a powerhouse of food production, but not without fertilizer and water. Considering that the climate IS changing (even the red-pilled crowd's argument says that the climate is always changing) and weather is becoming less predictable, with widespread drought some years and pluvials other years, there are all kinds of water-conservation/transport measures to put into place: aquifer recharge basins, contour plowing, cover-cropping, aqueducts, etc plus we need to protect the aquifers that we rely on (like the Ogallala aquifer) from contamination by fracking or oil spills. In addition, we need to assure ourselves of fertilizer. And we need to maintain our "strategic grain reserve", and not fritter it away like we're doing with our strategic oil reserve.

We need to repair our standing in the world. That means our military should be rebuilt for defensive purposes, not as the offensive arm of transnational corporations or the petrodollar, or to take over the whole globe. We are a nation among nations.
We can do that if we rebuild our manufacturing base. The Big Brains in government surely have a detailed list of imports and figure out which ones are critical to our economy, and which ones we need to re-create at home.
We should aim for an even balance of trade, since being either a gross net importer or exporter distorts the economy.
By re-industrializing, we will create more jobs. This will have an overall beneficial effect on crime, drug addiction, homelessness, poverty, and the "diseases of despair".
We need to repair our social contract. "Greed is good" is not a basis for a society, and neither is victimhood-fighting-for-scraps-of-privilege. Reward the behavior you want to see. If you work, you should be rewarded with a decent living. If you commit crimes, you

White Suburban Women Running Back Into GOP's Arms, Leftist Elites Enraged
Thursday, Nov 03, 2022 - 03:00 PM
Heading down the stretch of the 2022 midterm elections, white suburban women - who comprise 20% of the nation's electorate - are swinging back to Republicans in a big way.
A new Wall Street Journal poll finds that white women in the suburbs now favor Republican congressional candidates by a whopping 15% margin -- a jaw-dropping 27-percentage-point move just since August.
The shift has largely been fueled by the group's deepening concerns over inflation and the economy. About 54% say the country is already in a recession while 74% say the economy is heading in the wrong direction. Those numbers are up August readings of 43% and 59%, respectively.
Democrat hopes that the Supreme Court's June overturning of Roe v Wade would spark women to rally around Democratic candidates haven't been realized. The journal found that rising prices are the top concern, with 34% of suburban white women giving it top weight. Abortion comes in third, with just 16% calling it their top priority

In a way, this is where those push~polls might have bit pollsters in the ass. I know ive mentioned more than a few times about those lisrs that have 14 items in them, NONE of them mentioning my top priorities.
I noticed that so many CA dem candidates mention abortion and other virtur signalling issues.
Secretary of State? Hello? Abortion is not in your job description, running clean elections is.
City Council? Hello? You're not about to end homelessness, its not in the city's budget.
Attorney General, protecting our rights? Great! Now, what about crime?
The froth and bloviation, mostly from Dems but TBH existing on both sides, is deep enough to swim in.

Some black dude beat his wife within an inch of her life. She had him on two separate cameras because this has happened before. He was arrested and released without bail. He got a gun, went back home and shot her in the face in front of their children.
Kathy Hochel murdered her.

There isn’t an "official" G.O.P. position on Social Security and Medicare. But the Republican Study Committee, the RSC, a caucus of House members that sets the party’s agenda, has released a fairly detailed set of proposals titled “Reclaiming Our Fiscal Future”. https://banks.house.gov/uploadedfiles/budget_fy22_final.pdf
The committee’s proposals center on raising the age at which Americans become eligible for Social Security and Medicare. Its plan calls for increasing the age at which workers can collect full Social Security benefits — which has already risen from 65 to 67 — to 70.
At the same time, the plan would raise the age at which Medicare kicks in to match the Social Security age. Given the Social Security proposal, this means delaying Medicare eligibility by five years, to the age of 70.
The report tries to justify these large benefit cuts — because that’s what they are — by pointing to the rise in life expectancy at age 65 since these programs were created. That is, it argues in effect that our major social benefit programs have become too generous because Americans are living longer.
While average life expectancy for seniors was rising before Covid struck, that rise was very unequal. Gains were much larger for Americans in the upper part of the income distribution — that is, the people who need Social Security and Medicare least.
https://www.jstor.org/stable/42920941?seq=1#metadata_info_tab_contents
Gains in life expectancy have been much bigger among Americans with a college degree. In fact, life expectancy has actually declined among noncollege whites. And mortality has been diverging among regions, with life expectancy at 65 in some states, mostly red, significantly below the national average and in others, mostly blue, significantly above.
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr70/nvsr70-18.pdf#page=7
So Republican plans to cut Medicare and Social Security would impose widespread hardship, with some of the worst impacts falling on red-state, noncollege whites — that is, the party’s most loyal base.
Why imagine that proposals to deny benefits by raising the eligibility age won’t provoke a backlash?
At least part of the answer is surely the expectation that the right-wing disinformation machine can obscure what the G.O.P. is up to. The Republican Study Committee has released a 153-page report calling, among other things, for denying full Social Security benefits to Americans under 70; that didn’t stop Sean Hannity from declaring the other day that “not a single Republican has ever said they want to take away your Social Security.”
https://banks.house.gov/uploadedfiles/budget_fy22_final.pdf
If Republicans win one or both houses of Congress, they’ll try to achieve their goals not though the normal legislative process but through blackmail. They’ll threaten to provoke a global financial crisis by refusing to raise the debt limit. If Democrats defang that threat, Republicans will try to get what they want by making America ungovernable in other ways. Will they succeed? Stay tuned.
