Official 2026 Midterm Election Thread (If Trump lets us have one! TIC!)

[Jeff Lebowski]

Virginia voted today to gerrymander the state to go from a 6-5 edge to a 10-1 advantage for the congressional midterms.

Barak Obama who used to vigorously campaign against gerrymandering as a matter of principle cheers it on.

Democracy is dying thanks to our two political parties. Sad times.

youre missing the context

[Maximus]

There is no point whatsoever in defending Hunter Biden or engaging in whataboutism re: trump's kids. Hunter was corrupt as hell and ended up being the de facto chief of staff, convincing his senile dad to run for a second term. Then in spite of many statements to the contrary, his old man gave him a pardon. He is part of the reason we got Trump for a second term.

not a single trump voter voted for trump because of hunter biden

What could possibly have happened to change Barak's opinion?

Totally. They probably couldn't explain what he was convicted of and they sure as shit couldn't tell about Trump's crimes and breaches of legality. Trump can have the Pope strong-armed and threatened by one his minions and still stick with him.

Yeah, democracy is under threat but it's not because of "both sides," or even because of republicans it's because of Trump and this shitshow of an administration.

Bananas will make you full of crap. But at least you got the plums to balance that out.

Dogs are more fun that cats but they require more maintenance.

Chihuahuas are worse than most cats. I'm not sure they are actually dogs.

But I don't think there statistically significant numbers of voters who last minute saw Hunter Biden pardoned and went, "I thought Joe Biden was a man of his word, now I'm going not going to vote for Kamala Harris."

Frank, that has nothing to do with the original point I made. Why do you do this?

Didn't you say that was part of why Trump won?

[The_Tick]

Do not allow politics to become your new religion and what defines you.

Too much of that here lately.

Hunter Biden was the "de facto Chief of Staff" in the last year or two of the Biden presidency and played a strong role (along with his dumb mother) in convincing Joe to run for re-election, leaving the party in a disastrous set of circumstances.

Also, I was saying that Hunter was such an awful person that engaging in whataboutism (like you are doing here by the way) every time his name comes up is annoying and pointless. Hunter deserves everything he got.
