remember that it’s the new house that certifies. and i think we will get the majority back.
BUT remember the protracted recount fight in minn that kept al franken from being seated, denying obama the majority for quite a while.
trust me, there will b reps they will try not to seat. they will throw up road block in every close election just to deny an opening day majority. they will demand a recount anywhere that it’s close, then try to f up that recount.

we MUST CRUSH them, all across the country.
it’s a whole different ballgame on jan 6 w speaker jeffries v speaker moses.

eta- neil katyal is warning of this, tho i am focusing on just 1/6.

1. When KFC said he didn't need any votes

he already had all the votes he needed, tells me reQublicans have new shenanigans waiting in the wings
they will be attempting to steal the election with. Good thing President Biden has immunity for
official acts, believe we will see some.

2. Phrasing

I have to suggest that we be very careful with phrasing, and that "STORM the house" may not be a good choice. On January 6, 2021 they stormed the House. I absolutely agree with your sentiment and conclusion, but we really don't want to give anyone, literally ANYONE, the idea that we would resort to inappropriate tactics to get there.

3. You make a good point.

[relayerbob]

4. Also, "Storming" is very much a right wing phrase eg: "Stormfront"

Def best to avoid it

[mopinko]

9. no.

they dont get to own the language. that’s how we got here.

[relayerbob]

17. That phrase has been used by Nazis for many decades

Zero interest in duplicating Nazi language.

And no, that's not how we got here.

[mopinko]

8. meh.

j6 wasnt a storm. it was an armed insurrection.
some language we have to take back.

[bdamomma]

5. Or

Flip the House in our favour. Do you realize that the House will not send any funds to those Hurricane areas until after November 5th, do we need anymore evidence that this House needs to be flipped?

[mopinko]

10. 'flip' is not a strong enough word.

6. "...it's the new house that certifies. and i think we will get the majority back."

If you're talking about if the presidential election goes to the House, it's a bit more murky. Each state gets one vote on that case, and even if Democrats win majority of House representatives, it's not a done deal that we'll win a majority of the states.

[mopinko]

7. it MUST b done.

no room for error.

[PortTack]

11. With the updates to the electoral count act recently the gqp throwing it to that last resort... not probable

[Wednesdays]

13. I agree,

...in order for it to go to the House, it has to happen that neither Harris nor Trump get at least 270 electoral votes. That would be like drawing to an inside straight...very unlikely.

[lindysalsagal]

12. Sorry, but I realize this sounds like a Jan6 maga slogan to outsiders. I gettit. You meant with votes.

I honestly opened this op thinking you were quoting another maga idiot.

[mopinko]

14. we cant let them own the language.

we cant let them have all the powerful words. we need to take them all back.
they arent the patriots. they arent the keepers.
just like we cant let them have our flag.

[lindysalsagal]

15. Some words just aren't worth keeping.

[mopinko]

16. that's how we got here. by letting them decide what words mean.

and which words can only b used by them.

[TheProle]

18. What does Franken have to do with the House?

[mopinko]

19. he was elected, and a dem.

cuz it was so close, there was a delay in seating him.
we cant afford too many close races where someone wont b seated on 1/6.

[WarGamer]

20. If I had a choice between the House or Senate along with a Harris win... I'll take the Senate

A GOP Senate can really wreck her agenda.

[mopinko]

21. that's not what i'm talking about.

i’m talking about 1/6. period.

[sarisataka]

22. Al Franken was elected to the Senate, not the House

[mopinko]

23. and?

it works the same in both houses. if there r close house seats, they’ll do what they can to make sure they arent seated until after 1/6.
franken was a fluke. they’ll to their best to see there r more flukes.

[Jmb 4 Harris-Walz]

24. True, but I don't think that was the OP's point; because the VOTE was so close the state had to do a recount. SO if any

of the House winner’s races are very close the repubs will contest the vote where dems win to ensure fewer Dems can be seated on Jan6.

I don’t think the point was Franken but the issue of the new congress in general being seated by Jan6
