I pretty much agree with everything that Ben laid out.

It's a district on the US/Mexico border and Flores was very vocal about the massive illegal immigration pouring into the nation since Biden took office. Furthermore, she was the anti-AOC. This election was supposed to be a moratorium on Biden and the Democrat's inaction and insanity on the border issue. Similarly, Kelly is currently leading in the Arizona Senate race. He should be getting his ass beat hard over the border issue. Granted that election isn't over yet, but still, AZ should be deep red right now. Damn Californian transplants fucking everything up again.

Regardless of the outcome in the next few days, I'm really disappointed in our country. How bad do things have to get?
Teh One Who Knocks (11-10-2022)
When I was up in NY, my cousin was there. This is a guy I grew up with. We lived right down the street from each other when we were growing up in NJ. In many ways, he was, and still is, my best friend. I love the guy like he's my own brother. If he needed something from me, I'd give it to him without question. If he asked me to do something for him, I'd do it without hesitation, and he'd do the same for me. That's just how close we are. He's been living in Massachusetts for a while, working in marketing for a big national company. Our parents were Democrats when we were growing up, and subsequently, so were we. It took me moving to the South, taking civics classes down here, and talking to people about their political points of view to get me to open my eyes. My cousin and I talked politics for a few minutes when we were in NY. He claimed to "bleed blue" and while he admitted that he wasn't aware of the Democrats' positions on various issues, he didn't care. He "bled blue" and was voting Democrat all the way down the ballot come hell or high water, and that's just the way it was going to be. Every time I brought up individual issues, he would shut me down, cause he didn't want to talk about politics. I love my cousin, but he is a politically ignorant man. He makes good money, so I'm guessing the inflation isn't effecting him much, but his mother and his aunt (not my mother, his mother's sister) were there as well. They're both retired, and they were both bitching about inflation throughout the entire get together. I guess he's really dug in, 'cause he wasn't listening to his mother or his aunt either.
Anyway, my point is some people are just dug into their political affiliations just like people get dug into their favorite sports teams. For better or for worse, they're going to support who they're going to support, and there's nothing you can do or say about it. I'm guessing there's a lot of people like my cousin in this country, and they're all voters.

Today is the day that Georgia decides if the US Senate stay 50/50 or if the democrats get a true majority at 51/49. More importantly, it will also decide if the democrats get full control of all Senate committees or if those stay a 50/50 split.
