  • There are strategic moments that make sense. Liz Cheney (with no actual policy compromises) saying basically that, “I’m a Republican but Trump is a national security threat so I’m voting Harris” is strategically sound. Those who know Trump is a threat were already voting Democrat. Those on the fence or sitting out may have been persuaded by this bipartisan act (even though we all know we wouldn’t want Cheney running domestic policy).

    With respect to Massie, I’m glad he has carved out a sliver of morality on this one issue because Good vs. Bad isn’t boolean; it’s a gradient.

    That said, there isn’t a race in the country for these midterms where the Republican is better than the Democrat on the ballot.

    (Also, Massie like Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger before him, already lost his Primaries so won’t be in Congress anyway next year)



  • Now adjust with respect to:

    1. Relative to total days in office.
    2. Oil and gas prices upon completion of term and overall trend of term.
    3. Depressions and Global Pandemics.
    4. Specific campaign promises (“$2 gas”)

    I’m sure Faux Spews graphics like this sit well with demented boomers and alcoholics who never graduated high school, but don’t pass a smell test for anyone with a lick of critical-thinking skills.

    I’m sure OP will just stare at this while while they pump $5 gas for a total of $120+ into their lifted mall crawler truck that gets 9mpg to reassure themselves. Will definitely help.
