An interesting article that looks at all of the potential factors responsible for why the 2022 midterms were not the red wave that was expected. (archive.ph)

I think the article's " Dem breakwater" theory is something the right needs to be prepared for in 2024.

It is clear that the 2022 red wave fizzled out for a variety of reasons.

We must avoid repeating the same mistakes in 2024.

We squandered 2022 with bad candidates in swing states like Doug Mastriano and Dr. Oz that only won the GOP nomination because Trump endorsed them, Roe being overturned bolstering Dem enthusiasm, the juggernaut mail in voting machine that Dems have created in key states and a general Dem fundraising differential in key races.

And urban dem stronghold counties manufacturing votes via mail-in ballots. Which will always provide the necessary margin for victory, so nothing else matters.

Although overturning roe v wade right before the election was monumentally stupid. So much so that it was almost certainly an op.

Your statement, "And urban dem stronghold counties manufacturing votes via mail-in ballots. Which will always provide the necessary margin for victory, so nothing else matters." is complete doomerism with no basis in reality. We absolutely can still win elections in swing states if we just make some smart changes.

Republicans need to implement a ballot harvesting operation in swing states. We cannot just have our base wait until election day to vote. What if there is inclement weather or the person is unable to vote for some reason? We saw what happened in Arizona 2022 where on election day, there were incredible amounts of shenanigans in polling places in Maricopa county. We cannot let that repeat in 2024.

We need to not nominate poor candidates like Doug Mastriano and Dr. Oz. We need to stop running people in swing states who say stupid shit on the issue of abortion. We need to stop running people who constantly scream about 2020 being stolen instead of talking about key present day issues.

Doug Mastriano was absolutely the worst candidate the GOP had running in any race in 2022. He said he wanted to arrest women for getting abortions and he kept constantly screaming about 2020 being stolen. He was crushed by Josh Shapiro and we lost so many races down-ballot. The GOP lost the PA state house for the first time in a while thanks to how shit tier Mastriano was.

The worst part is that bastard Mastriano is announcing a run for Senator in 2024 this week. That retard needs to be crushed in the primaries.

Dem mail in ballot schemes can feasibly only tilt close races. If mail in ballot schemes could win every race, then the Dems would choose to win every single race. They give no fucks about subtlety or making it look realistic. They only value power and achieving it at any cost.

In 2024, We need to win by a margin that is outside the margin of ballot shenanigans being able to tilt it the other way.

In other words become better cheaters than the Dems. Not that I disagree with this, but it kind of makes the point that fraud is a serious problem. The Republicans are too honest, at least the ones that aren't traitors that is.

Ok people here need to understand that ballot harvesting does NOT automatically mean cheating.

In certain swing states like NV ballot harvesting is absolutely legal.

Ballot Harvesting means someone affiliated with the party goes to mail in voter homes and picks up their ballot and deposits those ballots in a drop off box or at the polling places.

Yes there are obviously ways this process can be corrupted and abused by malicious actors but the mere act of going around and collecting ballots is not cheating at all in certain key states.
