Poll: ICE job approval = 39% approve, 52% disapprove.

Hi Hamburglar

What a fascinating Republican strategy to lose the 2026 midterm elections.

Midterm elections have historically had much lower turnouts than presidential election years.

"2018 Midterm Election: Turnout was approximately 50%, the highest in over a century for midterms but still significantly lower than a presidential year.

2014 Midterms: Turnout was only about 36.7%, one of the lowest in recent history."

Disgruntled Republicans won't vote for a Democrat out of hatred, so they may stay home on Tuesday 3 Nov 2026.

Disgruntled Democrats won't vote for a Republican out of common sense, so they may stay home on Tuesday 3 Nov 2026 too.

Who loses more disgruntled voters on 3 Nov 2026 will decide the winner and right now ICE is not helping the Republicans.

Hi Hamburglar:

Unfortunately the US system appears binary, Democratic or Republican, with fringe candidates or platforms like Dr Jill Stein and her Green Party. But the third choice is "no vote," which is what happened to Dems on Tuesday 5 Nov 2024.

Unhappy with US support for Israel during the Gaza genocide, millions of progressives opted for "no vote" in Nov 2024. They didn't flock to Jill Stein who won a meager 628,000 votes (0.4% of eligible voters).

The same happened to the Democrats in 1968 when they lost progressives because of their support for the Vietnam War and the draft. These progressives didn't flock to Richard Nixon or segregationist George Wallace, they stayed home.

I almost stayed home on Tuesday 5 November rather than vote for Kamala Harris who was going to continue US support for Israel.

I held my nose, took my family to the voting site, and we all voted for Kamala Harris because that was POTUS Jimmy Carter's last dying wish. But if I almost stayed home out of disgust for US support of Israel's ethnic cleansing, how many millions of progressives did stay home?

6,265,888 is the delta between the winning 2020 Biden/Harris election and the losing 2024 Harris/Walz election.

So, I look at the disgruntled voters in our trinary system which gives us the binary result.

In the game of bridge when we assess the strength of the 13 cards we are dealt, we count the "losers" first.

The National Catholic Reporter writes:

"VPOTUS JD Vance's idiotic and insensitive comments justifying the murder of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel. Our only recourse is to pray for his conversion of heart."

What should befall the detestable blasphemer JD Vance, who wants his dark-hued Hindu Brahmin wife to lighten her skin and one day accept Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior.
