It is possible that Democrats will gain, not lose in November. Here's why/how.

Something to keep in mind: some states will lean R early on due to mail in ballots getting counted later.

Same reason there's a big push on the right to hold off dropping all early mail in votes until day of....just slow down the process and give more time to pull bullshit tactics.

How did our leaders allow themselves to get so badly outplayed?

Not much you can do when you "take control" in 2020, just in time to hold the bag for COVID. To get blamed for the consequences of COVID. It's the most turmoil any America alive has experienced. Whoever the perceived incumbent party was.... was doomed. Though that's still technically a prediction at this point.

So who is ready for the Republican sweep of both houses?

Not me, but I would not mind a show down between Biden and The Senate or them trying to Impeach him and Failing at that.

Double post

So just a friendly reminder to everyone who would love to put the Trumpanzees in a zoo where they fucking belong and off our streets..

If you’re not doing what Liz Cheney is doing and attempting to actually purge the scum, you’re just as repugnant by sitting idly by letting your party turn into a swamp.

Didn't she get purged herself? (sadly)

 

[iRONic]

Yep, she lost her primary.

 

[Indus]

Well like I said..

Polls don't mean shit, go Vote
before
Votes don't mean shit, and you have to go protest.

It's well known. Trump used it as an excuse to claim election fraud. Remember?

 

[FelixDeCat]

Always good to remind people that Republicans actually are shit people, not just words!

Sour grapes. 🍇

Republican rule is what this country needs badly.

This guys keeps pumping hopium via early voter data, but I’m not yet convinced these numbers are truly indicative of anything other than voting method preferences.

The only place I'm letting early voting data play even a little bit with my emotions is Nevada. Still the people who watch that and know a lot are also divided about what it could mean in a year where voting methods and e day turnout scale and demos are in flux compared to previous years.

Everything else is pointless and I'll wait for returns.

Like a bullet in the brain!

Considering how badly it turned out last time and then they attempted a coup after losing why would Republican rule be better? Don’t you dislike coups?

Republican rule, yes it will happen again. Repugican rule, watch out shit hole countries!!!

Pretty much every red state would suffer from it, so maybe you’re right.

 

[BurnItDwn]

Wife and I will be voting in person this year. We mailed ours in in 2020, but, polling place is only 5 mins from home and we work from home currently.

 

[K1052]

The only thing Republicans in congress are likely to "rule" is a series of 1995-96 style shutdowns and 6 investigations into Hunter Biden when Americans voting for them just want slightly cheaper stuff.

I'm curious to hear what would make Republican rule so good.

A completely bungled pandemic response with over a million deaths, a devastated economy, and a lost presidency (in what should have been a trivial win for a marginally competent leader) is a pretty poor showing, if recent history is any indicator

 

[eelw]

Well we’ll find out shortly if killing their voters will impact the midterms.

 

[Indus]

Probably not in the house with so many gerrymandered seats.

But statewide.. it just might in some close swing states.
Won't matter in FL or TX though.. too red!

Also there's long covid.. quite a few aren't dead but get winded doing anything. So will they be able to show up and vote in person tomorrow because you know mail fraud!

Must be a regional thing. Here in AZ I voted last week, and checked on status, and it was received and counted 2 days later.

By law PA can't count their mail ballots before Election Day as many other states do. Democrats have tried to get the legislature to permit it but Republicans in the body say no.

Thanks didnt know that. As long as theyre all counted, does it matter?

Well if we didn't have a party that is gaslighting it's moronic base into thinking that any delayed results are causes for voting fraud or giving more time to feed into bullshit obstruction tactics, no. It shouldn't matter. But that's not the reality we are living in.
