    Literally the color card joke from family guy 10 years ago and yet the dems still have a pretty good chance of fucking this up.

      Either Democrats win in a landslide, proving their steady march to the right is what American voters want.

      Or they lose by a thin margin in a few midwestern states, proving that they’ve been stabbed in the back by Muslim voters and shouldn’t bother catering to these unreachable die-hard Islamist constituents anyway.

      Then Harris and Walz can go back to their respective states, where the national guard under their command will be ordered to plow any protest movement under its treads while swarms of liberal nerds go online to denounce the authoritarian leftist tankies for getting ground up in our gears of war.

        The current polling has Harris ahead by 1.5% in Michigan, which is about 2.5% Muslim residents by some counts. I could imagine that they will still heavily vote for her, but they’ll get blamed for any loss regardless. Just imagine what liberals will think of them if a narrow Michigan victory gives Trump the election. We’ll be hearing about it for the next fourty years.

          I remember Bernie voters being blamed for 2016, despite outpolling their generic Obama voters in Hillary’s favor.

          Just imagine what liberals will think of them if a narrow Michigan victory gives Trump the election.

          The real joke is that Michigan is a safer Senate seat for Dems, despite being a coinflip for President. We can only guess at why.

          On the flip side, if Dems beat expectations and go +3 or +5, it would be hilarious to see Ted Cruz and Rick Scott lose their Senate seats.

There will be some indignant finger wagging about “this is not who we are”.Then when another person most likely a republican will try to gun him down and mfs will be pikachu shocked that the guy who talks about" poisoning the blood" nazi shit has unhinged following. There will be more “this is not who we are” shit
