Zelenskyy made a mistake when he told Krasnov that he had to cancel elections in Ukraine because of the war. Krasnov opined, "why can't I do that?"
It is coming.
Also, Bibi has a copy of the Epstein files, Bibi owns Krasnov as much as Putin owns him.
I want to see if Krasnov's fossil fuel friends can still rig the price of gasoline to keep it low? If gasoline prices skyrocket in the US, inflation is going to skyrocket. This war may end Krasnov's reign.

We should put NOTHING past this sadistic
maniac as he cares for NO ONE but himself.

(31,862 posts)Postponing the election will be child's play for this fascist Supreme Court. Another SC already allowed the brother of the presidential candidate who was about to lose, stop ongoing vote counts. What law gave the SC to stop the vote count in Florida?

This is doom porn, and it's not going to happen.

(1,630 posts)If red states wanted to go along with it, then they will have functionally zero members in the House and lose 20 or more Senators. That doesn't sound like a great plan for them so they won't cancel their elections either.

(151,034 posts)There have, however, been elections during times of war multiple times. War does not stop elections.

(22,711 posts)But nobody gets to disobey the laws of physics.
Cancelling the elections is physically impossible, at least not without a military coup, and they seem to be preoccupied right now.

With all due respect, pick a fucking lane already 😂

(31,862 posts)Politicians were never going to save our country, it is going to take an uprising of the people, and with this war we will get a significant number of unwashed Magats to join us.
Krasnov is president until 2029 but with this war he may not make it that far, canceling the 2026 elections will only keep Magats in control of Congress and will they continue to fluff Krasnov when unwashed Magats hit the streets?

(1,630 posts)All of the House seats are up, and 33 Senate (and 2 special elections) are up. So since elections are run by the states, no blue state is going to go along with your hypothetical. So if red states did, they would have very few House seats, and lose 19 Senators automatically. Which even without doing the math, puts us in control of both houses of Congress. So no, red states won't be going along with that.

I'm thinking the correct answer is none of the above.

(31,862 posts)I said he would cancel the elections, he isn't up for reelection until 2028. Canceling the 2026 elections would keep Magats in control of Congress but the war will be so unpopular that unwashed Magats are going to turn on him.
The people who are criticizing me are the same ones who told me that Democrats need to GOTV and beat them at the ballot box and then Krasnov steals the election.
Politicians are not going to save this country, the people will have to rise up and throw out the billionaires.
This war will bring unwashed Magats to our side.

(130,065 posts)We had elections following the economic crashes of 1929 and 2008, after 9/11, during the pandemic, and every other national crisis I can think of. Trump is about as popular as an infected hemorrhoid right now, and states manage their own elections. There's enough catastrophizing going on as it is.
