Wait wait wait.... So your saying I am a Leftie now, so you mean Leftie as in Democrat of just Left of where you are?

Me thinks NB has you mixed up with someone else.  I happen to think you are to the right of me, but that’s just a personal observation.

I think that I am a little right of center honestly. But I do feel you are Left of me but not to far Left

Well if you won't actual.debate on it then this is the place. If you just want to.pump and dump them then stay over in General Immigration news.

I am not sure where "here" is, but it seems to be the RWNJ forum for anti immigrant sentiment (which is hilarious because this is a site dedicated to immigration)

Well i am an immigrant, and I have no idea what you are going on about.

NJ is presumably New Jersey?

I guess our ledgers are clear. I have no idea what TDS and MDL is that some folks go on about.

There is very little in this forum that resembles debate...

It’s not obsession (for some) with anything other than wanting to see justice done.  Which it clearly wasn’t at the time.  

 

And unless you missed it, you too can buy groupon discount tickets to attend the Bill & Hillary tour.  I read last night that the Toronto tickets were going for less than $5 on groupon.  Can’t wait to see how they fare in NY and Detroit.

We should not need to see justice for such a highly respected political couple regardless of what they have done, or will do.  Us masses in the US should just accept it when it comes to the two tiered justice system, one for us, and one for Washington insiders.

So between us, we are pretty much right down the middle.  As I would guess 90% of Americans actually are, minus the crazies on both fringes.

Watch out for the NB as he swerves all over the road.

So you voted for the blue wave too?

A majority of those who voted (for both House and Senate) voted "Blue". 

 

US Senate Results (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/11/06/us/elections/results-senate-elections.html) - ~52 million voted Democrat, ~35 million voted Republican

US House Results (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/11/06/us/elections/results-house-elections.html) - ~57 million voted Democrat, ~50 million voted Republican

 

The problem for Democrats is their constituency isn't as well spread out, and since we are representative democracy and not a pure democracy, they may have the majority of Americans in their corner but they need the majority of countries/districts geographically. So while overall more Americans who turned out to vote side with Democrats, they still lost the Senate because of the distribution of voters across America. 

 

Obviously this only captures those who voted (turnout is becoming more and more of a record as the final numbers are tallied), and combines many individual races into one total "party tally". Obviously people can vote one color for one situation and vote the other color for another choice. Given how polarized our nation has become my guess is that doesn't happen very often, but I don't think we can quantify it except with exit polls (if they even asked a question like that).

This is a false statement, as I clearly told you what MDL is.

 And I am sure you looked up TDS by now.
