The 2022 mid-term elections were a complete joke IMO on those of us who were thinking logically. We thought that Biden's low approval rating would sink his democrats at the polls. What happened, however, is just the opposite (at least for now). Democrats have already won the Senate and gained (from earlier polls) in the House. It is even possible that the democrats could win the House (but this is doubtful).
Biden's approval rating on the economy is only 34%. His overall approval rating is around 37%. Thinking voters assumed that this situation would produce a RED WAVE at the mid-term elections. As of today, it looks more like a BLUE WAVE (even as more republicans voted than democrats). What happened to produce this diabolical result?
1. Independents voted (mostly) for Blue candidates (the democrats).
2. Women and the young voted mostly for Biden and his democrats.
3. The abortion issue was important to the women and the young (polls did not pick this up).
4. The economy (with inflation at a record) was suppose to be the core issue (but it wasn't).
5. Biden polices were mostly viewed as flawed and negative (for American's), yet most women and young voters did not view this as important. All this seems illogical...but that does not seem to matter in 2022.
6. Biden and his many gaffes did not change voters to vote RED (republican). Amazing!
7. Mr. Trump and his narcissism (self promotion) did not rest well with the 'independent' voters. It now appears that Trump MAGA emotion has ended for most 'independent' voters. Is he a failed candidate going into 2024? My sense is YES, Voters do not want another term for this narcissist.
8. The Big Red Wave was the State of Florida. Ron DeSantis won big and he is now viewed by most 'independents' (and many republicans) as the HOPE for 2024. Trump could be finished (even as he continues to PROMOTE himself on the internet). He does have a base (40%) which is declining over time.
Conclusion: The 2022 mid-term elections are now mostly over. The battle for the HOUSE is still happening as some 18 races are yet unsettled. It could be another WEEK before we know who won the HOUSE. A final count for the Senate will not happen until early in December. A run-off is necessary in Georgia between Herschel Walker and Raphael Warnock. Walker lost in a close election which could reverse in the run-off!
My Arizona election results were a SHOCK to me. I voted RED (so as to get some change) but it now looks like the key positions will go BLUE. After six days (since the election) Arizona is still in limbo on the Governor's race. But it looks like Blue will win (in a close contest). Again it was women and the young who voted on the 'abortion' issue and a desire for more hand-outs from Biden (student loan issues, etc.).
Where does all this lead going forward? It leads to more chaos, confusion, distrust, fraud, and corruption. The election count did not give me confidence that all is well with our voting procedures. Did my vote even get counted? I have no idea. This is the situation for most voters. Personally, I have low confidence in the election SYSTEM. Nothing has improved these past 10 years.
In Arizona the tabulators broke down in some venues. Ballots needed to be printed at the polling venues as long lines waited to vote. Counting is done behind closed doors and who knows if all is kosher? Our elected authorities want everyone (me and you) to give the election process positive accolades even as confidence by voters has declined. Is the SYSTEM flawed and broken? I say YES!
Voting could be done in real-time (via our Smart Phones) and results could be documented precisely so that each voter's ballot is counted in real-time. There is no need for a SYSTEM which delays the count with unelected officials working behind closed doors (doing the counting). Voters need to start THINKING about a NEW MODEL. We have computers and technology that could make our voting system transparent for everyone. Why is this not happening?
My sense is that most voters do not THINK progressively on the issues. We need voters who will elect THINKERS (not subservient group-think followers). As of today, we have a broken SYSTEM and this means NOTHING positive will happen for the near future. More chaos, confusion, fraud, dishonesty, and corruption will CONTINUE. Shame on America! Think for yourself. The above is my point-of-view!
