Thread: Election Fun!

    Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, a centrist Republican, won a fourth full term on Wednesday, according to The Associated Press, overcoming a conservative backlash against her independent streak and her vote to convict former President Donald J. Trump for incitement of insurrection after the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.

    Ms. Murkowski was declared the winner after securing more than 50 percent of the vote, a mandated threshold under the state's new ranked-choice system. She defeated Kelly Tshibaka, a conservative rival backed by Mr. Trump and the state Republican Party, and Pat Chesbro, a Democrat.

    More...
    Ms. Murkowski was the only Senate Republican up for re-election this year who voted to convict Mr. Trump, a move that prompted a fierce backlash from Republicans in her state. She has also frustrated her party by supporting Democratic nominees for the Supreme Court and for positions in President Biden's administration.

    She has played a key role in negotiating several bipartisan compromises, including the $1 trillion infrastructure law, which she highlighted in several appearances across her state. Ms. Murkowski, one of just two Senate Republicans who support abortion rights, has expressed support for codifying abortion rights after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and openly expressed her dismay over the decision.

    Ms. Tshibaka had sought to capitalize on conservative wrath against Ms. Murkowski, who retained the backing of Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the minority leader, and his allies. But the use of ranked-choice voting, as well as an open primary system that sent the top four candidates regardless of party through to the general election, was championed by some of her allies in part to help centrist candidates like Ms. Murkowski.

    Murkowski's survival is disappointing for Republicans. And McConnel's financial support of Murkowski over the Alaska GOP endorsed candidate has made many people, including Trump, very angry. Trump's endorsed candidate speaks a language that no other person on earth knows. It is a spirit language taught to her by Danali, which is apparently a sacred mountain in Alaska. You can hear her speak it and explain it in the below video..

    Murkowski got that 2nd vote bullshit passed in Alaska.. now the citizens of that state are forced to keep her until she is a bloated dead corpse... and if she was running in PA, they would elect her one more time.

    The working person on a tight budget has a 2nd amendment right to firearm ownership, and in most cases are in need of a firearm to defend themselves & their family more than a middle class or wealthy person. It is absolutely not justified for you to force someone to be a defenseless victim to violent crime because gun control makes it unaffordable for them to own a life saving tool. Shame on you.

    I got one from Cabellas (big box store branded) and second this.

    Mine was a piece of junk that I threw away. It didn’t recognize my fingerprint most times, and 3X of a bad read it sounds an ear piercing annoying death alarm to alert the bad guys of your presence. I prefer the numeric code electronic locks.

    You must pay for insurance and registration to drive. It's a financial burden, but one that creates unbelievable efficiencies. Guns can be a tool too, and has been a boon to out society as well. Just like vehicles, there's a cost to ownership that one must bear to exercise the privilege.

    Should we outlaw cars, so that people like Darrel Brooks won't run over people intentionally like he did 67 people in a Christmas parade? If we prevent even on roadrage or murder by car, it's justified.

    Just to play devil’s advocate. No where in the constitution does it state that a firearm must be affordable. The constitution doesn’t care if you can afford a gun or not. The right to bear arms, not the right to have an affordable gun that is within my budget. A homeless/low income person can say guns are too expensive! It’s my right to own one!
