Listen folks, we all knew Kav would probably be confirmed even though he proved himself in that hearing temperamentally unfit let alone the dark clouds over his past.
Also remember that if Kav didn't get confirmed, they'd just put in another radical right wing asshole just not with so much baggage nor such a disgusting temperament.
So fine. confirm the asshole. And guess what, the GOP was already going to get punished in November. Now it is just going to get worse.
Significantly more people DO NOT want Kav than do want him.
The GOP was already down 20 points with women. Now that just gets worse for them. Also, they were down with Indies. Now that also just gets worse.
GOP enthusiasm is up? Well guess what. Our enthusiasm was ALREADY WAY UP and now the desire to vote and PUNISH the GOP only increases in a BIG way.
VOTE VOTE VOTE IN NOVEMBER! AND TAKE TEN FRIENDS WITH YOU! PUNISH THE GOP!!!!

Hope she's just saying that for optics, like not wanting to play her hand too soon.

(58,724 posts)It's frustrating to be so dependent on voters in these very particular states. Hopefully Democrats will vote in large numbers and the midterms will be a success.

Edit to add: I went to college in Ohio and I felt a lot more politically relevant there. Going door to door, getting out the vote in a swing state, really felt so much more impactful.

(3,432 posts)Most of the voters are going tot see this for the farce that it is. Approximately 40% of the voters are independents, and they have been favoring the Democrats. If they turn out in any numbers, that's good.
