I have always been curious as to what kind of weak minded dipshits would be swayed from their beliefs by an ad. 50,000 Disney ad later I'm still not going to disneyland.
Many people just get stuck consuming crap because ads on TV, radio, and streaming services repeats itself so much.
Want to find them? Go to a mall.
The marketing team wants the ad to be annoying because it gets stuck in your head faster that way. Did you know that? Next time you see a commercial and the person says "that annoying line again" remember this comment.
I read on Breitbart that they don't expect results until later in the week because they are using that horrible ranked choice voting system, plus they still use Dominion machines. It's a bunch of BS, in my opinion.
It's designed to make cheating easier to do and harder to prove. And it does nothing to break away from the Uniparty system because only DS approved Uniparty members will be allowed into the candidate pool with a chance of actually being selected.
In my eyes, it's the perfect solution to breaking away from a 2 party system. But like every system, if it's mishandled could lead to more confusion for sure.
I trust it just about as much as I trust any of our voting systems right now. But the idea behind it is pretty great imo. Imagine (totally making this up)..... Dems put up Hillary for the 2024 election, and Repubs put up Bush Jr the 5th for 24. MAGA party nominates Baron Trump as their candidate and so on. But.... In our current system. A lot of people might be worried about throwing their weight behind Baron.... b/c what if he doesn't get enough votes? Then I'm stuck with Hillary. Essentially you rank them in the order you want them to be POTUS. Trump, Bush Jr , Clinton. If Baron only secures 10% of the vote. Then all votes for Baron are tossed aside as if they'd never existed and your vote now becomes a vote for Bush Jr. So, if your main man didn't win, at least your back up guy has a chance.
Begich also broke with many in his party who echo Trump's false claims that the 2020 election was stolen.
Pressed on whether President Joe Biden was legitimately elected, Begich said, "Absolutely."
"It’s time for us to move forward. We have to move forward," Begich added. "We’ve got to bring people back together as a part of our effort to win that presidency in 2024. That’s what I’m focused on."
Agree there have been several arrests and many documented videos by project veritas. Not to mention all the forensic audits that prove the obvious. So if you say that you are I’ll informed or you are lying for political expediency and either way are not fit mentally or trustworthy in my opinion
Things are not so simple for me. I spoke to him at a small birthday party for a mutual friend shortly before Trump was elected the first time. My choice is made on evaluation made in person in a relaxed informal setting rather than thru the filter of a third party.
Wow, you've been deceived big time. Politicians love those "relaxed informal settings" so they can spew their bullshit nicely. Bet he picked up a kid and didn't miss a photo op with it.
Yes, but she has deep pockets in the Good Old Boy republican party, so we'll see. I was at the Anchorage Trump rally, and if that was any indication, Lisa will be gone. With the nefarious ranked choice voting though, she'll be on the general election ballot along with three others. That's where she'll try to make her stand. So it's not over yet. We're fighting three demons - ranked choice voting, Dominion voting machines, and the Murkowski dynasty. We'd appreciate your prayers.
Yeah. Thanks. The Alaskans I know / knew were fiercely independent and would have shown her the door, but a lot has changed so, we'll see. Thanks for the input.
Many Alaskans still are fiercely independent, but there has been a purposeful flood of outside liberal money that seeks to sway unthinking or distracted people away from the truth. Unfortunately, in this election even our own Elections Board outright lied and misled voters in their advertisements for and "explanations" about ranked choice voting. That will be Patriots' first target - getting rid of ranked choice voting, which doesn't help anyone but those who would otherwise lose a straightforward and honest election.
We need to take outside money out of politics. Nobody but Alaskans should be determining Alaska's election winners. Same for every state. This soros and hollywood and foreign money, etc. needs to end. Now.
All money for any candidate should only come from constituents in every election nationwide. Nothing other than personal donations. Donations should be published online and at local gov buildings within 48 hour. Donors must also live in that territory more than 6 months out of the year as a permanent/home address. Only money from the people you will represent and nowhere else.
I think this has been a huge issue over the last several years that is under the radar. I remember talking about it several years ago when it came out there was some guy in Marin County giving money to a race in the SE somewhere. I remember telling a friend of mine it wasn't any of our business as to what people 3000 miles away wanted in their representatives because we didn't live in that community. Granted, I know more now, but my feelings remain the same.
The only reason I donate to some outside of my own state is because everyone else is already doing it and I'm not going to act like a boxer going into an MMA ring and complaining that I'm getting leg swept and grappled. Would I like this stopped, hell yeah but in the meantime have to play the game under the current rules.
Fiercely independent doesn't necessarily mean voting for patriotic populists, who want to drain the swamp. Alaska is little like the wild west. With that comes people living there having a checkered past and others are outright sociopaths. The vast majority of Alaskans are good decent people though.
So in the special, why are two GOP splitting the vote and allowing a Dem to win? Isn't that a bit stupid. If Begich wasn't running then surely Palin would counter in and she is the Trump endorsed candidate?
This is a primary. AK adopted that ridiculous "ranked choice" voting format, so the results won't be known for a long time; apparently they have until the end of the month to count absentee ballots (yeah, we know how reliable those are :) ).
The vote on Palin in the special election will depend on how many Begich voters chose Palin as their second choice. The Senate race is just the primary where we will have the same setup with ranked voting in November. It's technically looking fine right now, in other words, although the system is so convoluted that no one yet understands what is really happening.
True. I just don't like the trend I'm seeing is all. But, we also still have all the absentee and early voting. It's going to be awhile before we have their official result.

I will tell you all right now to expect disappointment when it comes to Sarah Palin winning this race. My wife and I lived in Alaska for 7 years and we have not heard of this woman. While she would easily win the Native vote in AK, Republicans should still outnumber them but seeing as ballots will be Accepted until Aug 31st expect Mass cheating so democrats can Steal Alaska's Only Congressional seat.
Seriously? Do I understand you to say you don't know who Sarah Palin is? She was governor of Alaska and John McCain's running mate in 2008. Perhaps you're not American?
Do these people have access to the internet? If you don't "recognize" a name, look it up on the internet. At least try to be an informed voter before to go vote..... geez.

That's why I refuse to listen to or watch the teLIEvision.
Lol. That's a good one. I call it "Tell-a-vision"
I wish I'd made it up...LOL! I like yours as well!
I read on Breitbart that they don't expect results until later in the week because they are using that horrible ranked choice voting system, plus they still use Dominion machines. It's a bunch of BS, in my opinion.
In addition, this is a huge state. Gotta fly the ballots by Bush pilot right?
Right, because the machines are not connected to the internet.
Kek!!!
Honest question here, what's wrong with Ranked Choice voting? Sounds like a great solution to breaking away from a 2 party system.
It's designed to make cheating easier to do and harder to prove. And it does nothing to break away from the Uniparty system because only DS approved Uniparty members will be allowed into the candidate pool with a chance of actually being selected.
In my eyes, it's the perfect solution to breaking away from a 2 party system. But like every system, if it's mishandled could lead to more confusion for sure.
Except that we don't have a two party system, we have a one party system, the Uniparty.
Except that we don't have a two party system, we have a one party system, the Uniparty.
Do you really TRUST it? Only a computer can crunch the numbers. First choice, second choice. Can you imagine doing anything else in life that way?
I trust it just about as much as I trust any of our voting systems right now. But the idea behind it is pretty great imo. Imagine (totally making this up)..... Dems put up Hillary for the 2024 election, and Repubs put up Bush Jr the 5th for 24. MAGA party nominates Baron Trump as their candidate and so on. But.... In our current system.

Then all votes for Baron are tossed aside as if they'd never existed and your vote now becomes a vote for Bush Jr. So, if your main man didn't win, at least your back up guy has a chance.
That’s the stupidest idea ever. So my vote would magically go to somebody that I did not vote for. Stupid. Here is why https://patriots.win/p/15JAlkUscK/heres-where-things-stand-for-sar/c/
I'm sorry you don't understand it.
I completely understand - I just don’t agree with YOUR idea, that it’s a benefit!
I am sorry you don’t understand That!
I would also like to hear pros and cons.
Polls close in *15 mins, no results until then.
You can view results here when they start coming in. https://www.alaskasnewssource.com/politics/election-results/
Fingers crossed for Begich personally. He's smart and genuine.
I'm confused. Nick Begich said Joe was elected completely legitimately and that no fraud occurred.
Personally, if a politician says that then they fail the litmus test for me.
Simple question. Simple answer. Proof to me if someone is a RINO or MAGA.
https://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/meetthepressblog/begich-says-will-accept-results-criticizes-alaskas-ranked-choice-confu-rcna43388
No worry. Begich and Palin joined forces to give it to Mary Peltola (D)
Agree there have been several arrests and many documented videos by project veritas. Not to mention all the forensic audits that prove the obvious. So if you say that you are I’ll informed or you are lying for political expediency and either way are not fit mentally or trustworthy in my opinion

He wasn't a politician.
He is now.
They all are.
Rats. Thanks.
No results yet. The polling places don't close for another 15 minutes, and we probably won't start getting numbers for another hour after that.
Argh .. torture. Okay, thanks. What's the mood? Are people generally fed up with her, like those in Wy were with Liz?
Yes, but she has deep pockets in the Good Old Boy republican party, so we'll see. I was at the Anchorage Trump rally, and if that was any indication, Lisa will be gone. With the nefarious ranked choice voting though, she'll be on the general election ballot along with three others. That's where she'll try to make her stand. So it's not over yet.

Only money from the people you will represent and nowhere else.
I think all big money should be gone from politics. It should be a calling, not a career.
Just give them each one web page to state their views and answer questions. 😁
A big problem is there are a lot of new liberal faces in Alaska in the last 10 years. They shouldn't be allowed to vote.
I think this has been a huge issue over the last several years that is under the radar. I remember talking about it several years ago when it came out there was some guy in Marin County giving money to a race in the SE somewhere.

I think Dianne Feinstein thinks California owns Alaska. She may not be the only fruitcake in Cali that thinks this way. Look out Alaska.
Fiercely independent doesn't necessarily mean voting for patriotic populists, who want to drain the swamp. Alaska is little like the wild west. With that comes people living there having a checkered past and others are outright sociopaths. The vast majority of Alaskans are good decent people though.
What is ranked choice voting? Thanks Fren!
End of the month. Gotta wait for the mail in ballots. Crooked ass system.
Alaska is a top 4 advance to November. Nothing to report for now.
So in the special, why are two GOP splitting the vote and allowing a Dem to win? Isn't that a bit stupid. If Begich wasn't running then surely Palin would counter in and she is the Trump endorsed candidate?
This is a primary. AK adopted that ridiculous "ranked choice" voting format, so the results won't be known for a long time; apparently they have until the end of the month to count absentee ballots (yeah, we know how reliable those are :) ).
Well, the democrats are coming out in force for Murkowski. Begich split the vote on Palin.. ugh.
The vote on Palin in the special election will depend on how many Begich voters chose Palin as their second choice. The Senate race is just the primary where we will have the same setup with ranked voting in November. It's technically looking fine right now, in other words, although the system is so convoluted that no one yet understands what is really happening.
True. I just don't like the trend I'm seeing is all. But, we also still have all the absentee and early voting. It's going to be awhile before we have their official result.

Most of us have never lived in Alaska yet we still know who Sarah Palin is from her VP run in 2007.
Seriously? Do I understand you to say you don't know who Sarah Palin is? She was governor of Alaska and John McCain's running mate in 2008. Perhaps you're not American?
I was referring to her Democrat challenger Not Sarah, 99 % of Alaska knows and has Strong feelings about her for good and ill.
Jesus that’s bad.
