I about shot my drink out my nose when I heard some of those clips as ringtones from a strangers phone.

And many not even at a 5th grade level. How much are those teachers worth?
I am all for good teachers but for sure even the good teachers can't like all the ones that just pass kids along.
And don't try to claim it's that they are under paid. Charter schools produce better educated students with less resources
then the mainstream public school.

I am not wanting an argument, I am just genuinely curious as to why some people are so excited to see more democrats in congress? Did democrats do something really good in the past few years that I am unaware of?
Like I mentioned I am not looking for an argument of left vs right debate, just looking for some actual facts of how the democrats have helped average people in the United States this past couple years.
In the Senate race, Murkowski (a centrist/moderate Republican) beat Tshibaka, another Trump Republican.
These races were about a repudiation of Trump and his candidates, which is why I posted it in the Trump thread

With that said if Todd ran I would sign up to vote for him. Yes he's a dog and likes cheese. But at the same time he's a straight shooter and stands behind what he believes
in....which is cheese. Class act "Vote Todd" in 2024.
The factoid is that, Mitch McConnell gave Murkowski the money, held back funding for the Trump candidate. Not hard to figure out why the Trump candidate lost. Murkowski even endorsed the Democrat candidate.
You probably know about this, but conveniently eliminated it from your story. Works well with the narrative. Nice story bro.
My guess is without McConnell's interference the race might have been a lot closer. Rank choice voting is a likely factor as well.

BTW Peltota was expected to win as they all primary together and she won For some reason possibly death, I think she was considered an incumbent? Could be wrong it's been a while since I read about it.
Let’s say there’s 4 candidates.
You rank them 1-4 on which you like the most and which you like the least. 1 being best 4 being worst.
If a candidate gets more than 50% of 1st place rankings in the first round, they win the election. If nobody is above 50%, the person finishing last is removed. Anyone who ranked them first now has the candidate they ranked 2nd redistributed as if they voted that candidate 1st.
Among the 3 remaining candidates, the same rules apply. Any single one over 50%, they win. If not, the candidate finishing last (3rd now in this round) is once again removed. Anyone who had them as their top ranked remaining candidate now has their next best option redistributed to rank 1. Which is obviously now down to only 2 candidates.
If it gets down this far, all ballots are counted and whoever is ranked higher on the majority of the ballots is the winner.
Maybe think about the fact that Tshibaka was a bad candidate endorsed by a hugely polarizing figure whose popularity and widespread appeal is ever declining.
And yes, Peltola was an “incumbent” with all of 3 months under belt after she won a surprise upset in a special election. Again, beating shitty candidates. Moderate Alaskans hate Palin and Begich is a very unintriguing candidate
Very nice.
In this day and age, anyone in the senate that DOES NOT tow the party line...? Well, just like Nancy's House...
"They have to go!"
McConnell, that swamp rat that he is, plays the same game in the senate.
While I am disheartened by how Manchin and Cinema ultimately were typical-tools of Biden's policies, I -DID- admire them taking a stand...initially.
One thing you have to give The Donald credit for acknowledging...is...The Swamp.
DC was built on a swamp.

Murkowski barely won, by 0.77% of the vote. She started with a something like a 45% to 38% lead during the primary. Murkowski had a 45% to 29% margin of victory in 2016. from 15% to 0.77% in 2022.
Primary to general, Tshibaki went from 38.5% to 42.6% with the trump endorsement vs Murkowski who dropped from 45% to 43.37% even with a massive campaign financing blitz, outspending Tshibaki 10 to 1 courtesy of Mitch McConnell
Sorry but the data doesn't suggest a net negative Trump endorsement Sentiment. Regardless of how passionately you protest it.
Now I'm not saying people with anti trump sentiment do not exist, they clearly do as you seem to perfectly demonstrate. I'm sure there are people who will not vote for a trump endorsed candidate. But they appear to be a minority.
At present, the data suggests his endorsement seems to be a net positive. In Tshibaki's case it appears it was worth around 5 percentage points. I realize you may not find this data comforting or what it suggests comforting.
What would the endorsement have been worth minus Mitch McConnell's financing blitz?
I'd have to believe the 0.77% margin would not have held. I'm sure Murkowski and Mitch know they barely squeaked by with an expensive win. somewhat courtesy of FTX. Seems Mitch's super pac got a cool million from FTX. Murkowski also received directly from FTX and other non profits used as a billion dollar campaign coffer/ scam of theft and fraud. Burn them all.
