Democrats did not take majority and actually lost three seats by total so far but took vast majority of the seats up for election and kept majority of their seats they held that were up for election only losing 4 but flipped one republican seat too. So that doesn't indicate current support of Trump the House results shows current views better. You also have to keep in mind republicans use voter supression in multiple states in multiple forms so they have to cheat to win some states. These include to name a few voter ID, required address on ID, registered voter purging, and stripping right to vote for people with a past criminal record which may include non violent offences like marijuana possession. So it's not as bad as it seems. There wont be another senate election untill 2022 and the remaining third wont finish there term till 2026. It takes 12 years to elect the full senate. If we were to assume a Democrat candidate were to win presidency in 2020 that means the first half of their term will be often blocked by the senate so no drastically new policy will be enacted. The US government may stagnate in status quo till 2022. Voter ID should be required. Everyone has an ID, there should be an exception concerning Natives tho (imo). I read that they use P.O Boxes instead of street addresses. I think since citizenship for Natives is pretty strict, they should be allowed to vote regardless if they use P.O Boxes. ID's stops illegals from voting or any foreigners from messing with our elections. I honestly dont know how I feel about criminals not being allowed. Also Democrats cheat by allowing the dead and illegals to vote. Again they go after Trump for collusion while they themselves collude with other countries to mess with our country. I was told that they allowed DACA members to vote. They arent citizens, they shouldnt have been allowed to vote. It costs money to get a photo ID and hours waiting in the DMV and not everyone has that. I only got my first photo ID only about a year ago because I don't drive. Having a registered voter card is more than enough really unless they want to end charging people for getting a photo ID and somehow make the DMV efficient which it often isn't. Yes, Native Americans that live on reservations use PO boxes but they aren't the only ones effected by a required mailing address on ID. It can effect people living in RVs and the homeless for example. Illegal immigrants and visiting foreigners voting has never been a significant issue. An illegal immigrant wouldn't risk being deported by doing that and foreigners aren't registered to vote they can't. It's never effected any election results because voter fraud is so rare and even so what I said before still holds true that a registered voter card is enough but even that may not be necessary. Saying Democrats cheat in the way you describe you should be able to back that up to claim so. The only way they really cheat is gerrymandering but republicans do it too. If you don't know what that is it's redrawing districts in a partisan way that gives favour to a specific party. This isn't that hard to fix but no one has bothered for some reason beyond using a non partisan but this can't truely be done by a person like some places have done, an AI would have to do it. One of the voter purging methods I mentioned is kicking off people for inconsistencies in accent marks on names between ID and registered voter info. This is done to target minorities because they are more likely to vote for Democrats. I am unsure about no voting for violent offences but it should be easy to see non violent a problem. By stopping people from voting due to crimes they already served time for encourages the passing of laws that help further lock up people that by majority don't vote republican. Which effectively but indirectly outlaws dissent. That's why i mentioned marijuana since that was originally made illegal and the war on drugs was mainly to target minorities. I apparently just deleted everything I had written after I had commented :\ I'm too lazy to write everything again... I took what you said the wrong way, I thought you wanted to get rid of voter ID altogether and just let anyone walk in (kinda just what it sounded like to me)... I honestly dont know how that will work either but if there can be an easier way to register and not have it cost money or waste time, then yeah, I'd be all for it. My dad told me that murderers, rapists, ect cant vote but if anyone spent time for a small crime then they are allowed to vote. I think that might depend on the state tho (I also dont know if thats true or not tho) I didnt mean to make it sound like I was defending Republicans, it just sounded like your comment was one sided so I just thought to counter it. Someone also commented on how both sides cheat and honestly, they are both fucked up. Not just republicans. I dont know if we can stop both parties from cheating. I did read up on what voter purging is, I understand why it was implemented, but I can see how it can be used to cheat. That's what CTRL- z is for. It brings back if you deleted stuff on accident even if it was by the button in the text box. There is. Automatic registry. Tons of countries do it that way where anyone legible to vote can vote. It's any felony not just those. Things like copyright violation and possession of a decent amount of drugs is also considered felony charges. How long their ability to vote is taken away duffers by state. Basically sending a digital copy of an anime show to a friend can land you a felony charge. The US just has a bad voting system overall and a flawed legal system. ahhh thanks for the tip :) ohhh that'd be nice. That would make things so much easier. I think a lot of US policies may be out dated as well. |

"among monsters and humans, there are only two types. Those who undergo suffering and spread it to others. And those who undergo suffering and avoid giving it to others." -Alice “Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.” David Hume “Evil is created when someone gives up on someone else. It appears when everyone gives up on someone as a lost cause and removes their path to salvation. Once they are cut off from everyone else, they become evil.” -Othinus |

You could be inviting people with extensive criminal records right where you live. The White House is not against legal immigration. |

That's the whole idea of applying for asylum. They can even legally apply if they enter at a non-specified entry point. There's literally no basis for saying the caravan or any of the people in it intend to illegally take residence in the United States. In fact if they are able to do that it would just mean that the border patrol and in this scenario the military are so incompetent that they couldn't track a large group of people on foot despite them traveling hundreds of miles and into domestic territory and giving them at least a 2 month warning. |

Actually, it's been reported and confirmed that gang members and people with extensive criminal history have taken part in the caravan. Not only by Homeland security but the Mexican government too. From what I understand, people that are cleared will be granted asylum, but not the whole lot. |

From what I understand, people that are cleared will be granted asylum, but not the whole lot. After reading the DHS report I can concede they confirmed about 270 people with criminal records in total. Out of 7,000 people though that's only 3.8% of the estimated total people but that's also assuming the full group reaches the border. (About 3000 of which have already stopped and applied for visas at Mexico city). The more likely scenario is they're going to break off and join up with drug cartels in Mexico because the risk factor of coming into the US is too high even with the cover of asylum seekers and the journey on foot is way too much effort. So the point still stands that there isn't really a basis for people who are part of the caravan to plan on taking up illegal residence. For the simple fact that they're too easy to track, the security is too tight and the journey is too difficult that they might not even have significant cover if they do reach the border. |

IpreferEcchi said: I voted straight democratic and to legalize recreational marijuana use. That's a bit tricky because it's not something tied to a specific party of the two major ones. There are people for and against on both sides. More Democrats for than Republicans for the time being it seems though. |

@traed @Kyotosomo I voted for it as a proposal. Those two thoughts weren't connected. I voted straight democratic for governor/house/senate, and then I voted for a recreational marijuana proposal in my state. |

How did a 0.9% advantage for McSally at 100% votes counted turn into a 0.5% advantage for Sinema at... "---%" votes counted?! What is this? Not sure if it's RCP screwing up or if there are some strange things happening backstage... even if they are counting mail-in votes, it shouldn't take so long. This isn't California we are talking about... And The Mississippi special election has been at 98% votes counted without any change for the last 3 days. What are the doing? Lol!

Recounts in Florida now pretty much over. DeSantis (GOP) will be governor of Florida and current governor of Florida, Agent 47 (GOP), will be a senator of Florida. Some people are even saying that Florida has become a "red state", though considering how close the elections were, I don't think such a statement has much weight, though fact is that GOP will now control the governor position and both senate seats for Florida. |

They also just added like 1.4 million more voters with this election so until those people register or vote it's probably too early to call what color the state is going to be in the future given how close the races were. |

--ALEX-- said: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2018-midterm-election-forecast/house/ This is it...Tomorrow, Tuesday November 6, 2018, could be one of the most important Midterm Elections in a very long time in this country. The House, the Senate, and many Governor races throughout the nation will be up for grabs. As we know, the GOP has been in FULL control of EVERY aspect of government with Donald Trump as the head. In Trump’s first two years as President we have seen him coddle with and congratulate dictators, spur America’s allies especially Europe nations. >Disastrous trade tariffs. >Bring in a very Conservative judge to the Supreme Court which will probably have lasting consequences moving forward if you care about Social Progress in this country. >A tax cut that in the long run will ONLY help the richest Americans and corporations while continuing to FUCK OVER the middle class. >We’ve seen him literally separate families who were seeking asylum (which is completely LEGAL to seek asylum in the U.S) because he has a huge irrational HATRED of immigrants. >We’ve seen Extremism RISE in this country as the nation has become deeply divided...Hate groups have become emboldened with Trump as President...and why not...a man who says “both sides have good people” after ONE side preformed a HATE rally and eventually drove a car into the other side and killed one person! All of this and I’m not even going to mention the litany of legal troubles the President is still under...for fuck’s sake he’s still under investigation! So yes...this election has HUGE implications because there can only be one of two results....either the GOP remain in power giving Trump Carte Blanche... Or...we vote in the OPPOSITION to deny him all of his insane ideas. Once more here we go again... Alert! Alert!: hard bias detected |
