    Well we still vote to elect other officials and show our support. I can't see a 3rd party candidate ever winning. There is a greater chance of Illinois flipping red and I still doubt that will happen. Thanks to Chicago.

    I will vote for an R or D sometimes for other offices. You vote to show your support even though a candidate cannot win the state...which is the exact reason I do not vote for one of them, they do not rate my support. I vote to give the 3rd party candidate support as they are always 100% more deserving

    I think many if not most Democrats would vote for opposition candidates that really stood for reducing the size and power of government by taking wealth from government and our ruling political class and transferring it to the active productive workforce.

    Alas that kind of political opposition does not exist in either major party.

    Because it is meaningless!

    This whole obsession with conservatives and libertarians over the "size of government" is such utter bs. Everytime I ask, how big should it be, all I get is the same vague answer. Face it, a good chunk of those who spout this think we don't need any government at all, or one where it can be drowned in a bathtub. All it takes is one cold snap with freezing rain to uncover the ineptitude of this kind of thinking. Then again, politicians know all too well the short attention span of their constituents, so go figure.

    May I ask you a question?
    If these tariffs were so devastating, and counter productive, why hasn’t Biden lifted a single one?

    Next, I try to avoid putting words in people’s mouths, so I’ll just ask if you’re under the impression that farming subsidies, and protectionism of US agriculture products just came about in 2016?

    Liberals biggest fear. Black conservatives
    I love watching you people squirm knowing that race baiting is your only political leverage and it slowly goes away with each new black conservative
    Oh and don’t forget about all the ones hiding in the shadows afraid to be called uncle toms
    Brace yourselves!

    Record number of black people, females, minority people and veterans running in 2022 for the Republican party and some of them are very young.

    Say goodbye to the party of old white men and hello to the new party representing all legal Americans.

    The Democrats only represent themselves.

    Because Biden is a lefty and leftys love tariffs. I could never understand those who think they are conservatives supporting tariffs.

    Oh no, I know they did not.

    And what is that number? What percent of those running for the Republican party are non-white males?

    What is this new party called? It for sure is not the GOP or the DNC.

    Only the Marxists call for the elimination of government. Libertarians tend to ignore the need for strong effective governments, especially in the world as it exists today. The Founder recognized government as a "necessary evil".

    IMO, almost all ordinary human beings would be happy to see the size and power of government cut in half. Especially if the savings from those cuts went directly into vested accounts targeted to meet the needs of the productive workforce.
    Crafty populist politicians could easily win elections on such a platform. Money still matters.

    While I suspect you are correct, I am not sure those same ordinary human beings could agree on which half to get rid of

    The new party is still the Republican party. We are just making it more diverse.

    Ballot pedia predicts 24 Democratic house seats will be battle grounds compared to 4 for Republicans in 2022. These are the house seats where the winner in 2020 won with a small majority. However the actuall number of flippable seats is of course much higher and it will historically favor Republicans. Plus the 2020 Cencus added house seats to the Republican party.

    It looks almost impossible for the Democrats to keep the house and while they have a better chance on taking the Senate there is still more flippable Democrat seats then Republican seats for the Senate.

    Let's start with women. 121 so far are running for the house beating out 2020's 50 women who had announced running at this time. 227 women ended up running in 2020 for house seats and we had a record number of elected women bringing our total to over 30 in the house.

    Record number of veterans are running this year to. However your question asked how many are not white. I can't find the article that I am referring to that said there was a record number of blacks running but several articles stated they expect the 2020 midterms to be the blackest ever for both parties. In AZ alone I know 2 black men running for the GOP. The Republican party only has 3 black people right now so adding to that would be big for us.

    And this is sort of the key. It is easy to have a "record number" when the previous record was just barely above zero.

    IMO there would be a strong bias in favor of cash over almost any government program or service. The problem would be resisting the temptation to cut more than half.

    Ambitious politicians short on donor money might target the education system. That would represent at least $15K to $22K/year for every student. Propose to transfer that money into vested accounts for the parents and guardians of children to negotiate directly with teachers.
    Parents and teachers would become an unbeatable base of voter support.

    I have no clue what you think this would accomplish. Then again, you believe there are Marxists running around. Enough said.

    LOL! All you have to do to be a Marxist is believe:

    "Marxism
    noun

    Definition of Marxism

    : the political, economic, and social principles and policies advocated by Marxespecially : a theory and practice of socialism (see SOCIALISM sense 3) including the labor theory of value, dialectical materialism, the class struggle, and dictatorship of the proletariat until the establishment of a classless society"

    No address required. ;-)

    Know what?
    Is it your position that all Marxists or communists belong to a Communist Party or some other Marxist organization with a "head quarters"? That is not the case.

    Of course not, because if they did have a HQ that would really cut into your time labeling everyone a Marixt or Commie who disagrees with you.

    You do not pay much attention to my posts. I frequently agree with Marxists and often cite them as authority on many issues. Read more carefully. :)
