OK. For those who are curious. I'm not a Democrat, I'm a progressive. I believe people should be able to live their lives as they choose, so long as they don't force it on others.
@AntiquarianMuse Reagan gets away with it b/c he's becoming senile. Depending on how you view conspiracies, that leads to Bush the younger, and he isn't punished for the war crimes and that lead to Trump.
@AntiquarianMuse This is about 65 years in coming. Nixon committed treason and wasn't punished b/c they thought we couldn't handle it... And then a repeat with Reagan.
Mississippi might be slowly going blue. Maybe they got tired of being the poorest (tied with Alabama), and least educated state (technically 49th out of 50). 🤔
@randy5393 152 million voted in 2024. It doesn't matter if every Republican votes Republican and Every Democrat votes Democrat, it's the Independents that determine the election, and they're fed up with the Republicans. 🤷♂️
@lakejange@KyleBowling12@JoshuaBarzon Largely due to Trump bungling the COVID response and the right working against the science that would have reopened things faster. OTOH, we still did better than most other countries. in 2021 and 2022, by 2023 we had returned to roughly baseline, rest was corporate greed. 🤷♂️
@LangmanVince@grok As of August 2026
45.3 million registered as Democrats
38.3 million registered as Republicans
37.7 million registered as independents
4.5 million registered voters as other political parties.
Independents determine winners. Bad economy shifts to other party. 🤷♂️
@reddragon430@deepstash FIRST, we are supposed to elect representatives, not leaders. SECOND, said person isn't the only one there, and will both learn from others, as well as give new ideas to those who generally get set in their old ways and don't understand the new.

@Deborah63069776@LightOnLiberty People care more about their living conditions than social morays, and cost of living has dramatically increased while their paychecks have not, that's the largest driving factor in these elections. Well, that and the billionaire corruption going on. 🙃
@Leroy84334316@Kahuna_G59Lyfe@LightOnLiberty The Heritage Foundation (a conservative one) has been tracking voter fraud for decades and there hasn't been any massive fraud. Both Republicans and Democrats have been found guilty. For non-citizens, I only remember a couple, one a Republican registered in the 80s. 🙃
@Kahuna_G59Lyfe@LightOnLiberty Land doesn't vote, people do. Senators are 2 per state, House members are assigned according to state population (minimum of 1). Several red states almost went blue, which means in a few elections, they are likely to do so.
