  1. How is discussing all 4 possible outcomes an echo chamber? The problem of an echo chamber is you rarly or never get a disagreement. But providing ALL possible outcomes can by definition not leave anything out. Besides there are tons of people from the right here disagreeing. They have rarly any arguments, sources or evidence for what they say just an opinion but they breaking the echo if there even is one.

  2. I'd call that a misinformation. Show us your sources or be marked as misinformation.

  3. I think the unlikely case of Democrats keeping the house and getting the senate will be happening. And here are my arguments for this opinion. The current round of Republican candidates is terrible, they are even rejected by moderate Republicans like Trump has been in the 2020 elections. And they are much worse than the ones of 2020. Taking away Freedoms and the in particular the right to decide over your own body is terrible. It turned most Republican women away because it affects their freedom as well. The risks of losing the right to decide for yourself will encourage voters to vote especially in Red States because those families already suffer under the consequences of overturning Roe vs. Wade and the extreme laws the Republicans made. This is the first true Post-Covid election and Republicans indirectly killed a lot of their own voters by seeding doubts about the vaccine and the lies about it and Covid handling. Student loan relief is very popular ... even among Republican students. Lower Drug-costs is very popular ... especially in poorer Red States. Therefore ... I expect a surprise win for Democrats. And I expect that all unexpected wins will be declared fraudulent and challenged by Republican candidates in the extremists way to the point of civil unrest and calls for violence. I even expect that some elections in Red States will be activly ignored/overturned leading to a constitutional crisis and civil unrest.

  4. Explain to us how anything from this bill is raising inflation. And I have to warn you public spending is not creating inflation. You may have been groomed into thinking that but it's a well place lie. You are free to disagree with me of course but in that case please lay out your thought process on this ... or this is just an unfounded opinion of you. Another question: How would more Republicans voting for this bill would lead to lower inflation?

  5. It's all terrible. Introduce PR and Proportional Voting. This allows the creation of more than 2 parties. The voters decide exactly which party can say how much by percentage of votes. Parties can consider making a coalition if having less than 50% of the votes and being political compatible. Introduce a minimum hurdle of small parties of 5% to get any seats (this prevents that too many micro-parties come up). Get rid of the Senate. You don't need it, one legislative chamber who decides all is more than enough. The Senate is designed to protect the status-quo and to allow the minority to control everything which is inheritly undemocratic and make control easier (and cheaper in regard of legal bribery). This will end the binary two choices and allow all kind of flavors to enter the political arena. Passing laws means you have to cooperate making the laws less extreme and longer lasting because the laws will not be undone in full once the leading party switches. Will this eventually allow extreme parties on left and on the right to come up? Yes surely. I would expect the progressives to make their own party, maybe an even further left party but also a Maga-Party on the right will surely be created ... however voters will decide how much influence each party will have.

  8. Gerrymandering is rigging elections. And Republicans made even illegal maps now. Changing the election laws so the result can be overturned easier is prepation for stealing an election ... no matter the result. Changing the number of voting offices in area which vote blue more likely is rigging an election upfront in your favor. Throwing out registration without telling the citizen about it is also rigging elections because the affected people cannot re-register in time. Replacing the people who doing the vote and counting with Maga-loyal people is risky if not even dangerous. Reducing or even ending the possibility for early voting make voting harder. Make mail-in voting illegal or highly restricting is making voting harder. There is nothing conspiratorial about this because it all happend already you can read the laws made or changed in the states especially purple ones. There are court cases out there suing against the illegal gerrymandering but the courts are Republican-friendly and pushed the decissions over it after the election so an election is happening with an illegal gerrymandering potentially invalidating the whole election in this state later (and I guess when one of the parties is not satified with the outcome). There are grounds for concerns here. Because the
