The Armageddon Election 2024 Or Apocalypse 2024

Trone reportedly spent 60 million of his own money only to lose that primary by 10 points  :o  Of course quite frankly it was getting rather annoying to get an almost daily a flyer in the mail from him, plus constant YouTube ads…

Hopefully Alsobrooke and the Dems, don't take anything for granted and run a very strong campaign going forward, especially in the redder parts of the state..  last thing we need is a bunch of Dems getting all wishy washy and voting for Hogan, who will absolute not be a moderate in the Senate… don't think Baltimore will likely forget how he screwed over the city

one interesting tidbit Alsobrooke got more votes than all of the Republican candidates put together in her primary

How did he screw over Baltimore?

off the top of my head he cancelled the expansion of the Red Line in their subway system which would have benefitted the poor areas of Baltimore, and diverted the money by to improve roads in white areas.. 

he also cut money going to the Baltimore School system, but then approved money to build a youth jail there..

Much of it laid out here

unfortunately voters rarely do any homework

this is an interesting article, as there were MANY positions Hogan took and Vetoed, but the Vetos were overridden by the state congress
therefore forgotten by most that he was not with the majority in his stance

https://www.marylandmatters.org/2024/02/26/commentary-a-look-at-larry-hogans-record-on-key-issues/

he tried to veto 44k felons (who were out or on parole) from voting, but congress overruled and reinstated those voters
but shows his colors on how he thinks about giving citizens access to voting (i.e. he only wants those who might vote GOP to have rights)

Yeah pretty atrocious record….funny how he is one of the “good” republicans

Also, Trone the Loser got more votes than Hogan.

Yeah was going to mention Trone’s, but he didn’t quite top all Republican votes, just Hogan

Also Haley got 20% of the vote

Oh no, not john palmer (guy really doesn't look samonian?)

Not to mention his fake eyelashes.

UK conservatives are going for the youth vote by announcing they will enact one year mandatory national service for eighteen years old if elected

The horror.

Do 17 year olds vote in the UK?

Labour were already going to dominate this election. Sunak has massively miscalculated calling for this election any sooner than he had to. Not sure what was going to change by December, but . . .

That said, for 96% of 18YOs, this would be one weekend a month volunteering at a charity or doing some civil service. Not exactly what most have in mind when they hear “one year mandatory national service.” It’s like “200 hours community service,” if we are being fair.

I wish we had one month campaigns here….

Meet this guy…

I agree, I think national service should be a thing in the US
