Sorry. I'm taking the day off from the Sunday Morning shows

After they were talking about a poll that says Democrats will take a horrible beating next year as talked about on ABC earlier.

Not sticking my head in the sand, I'm just tired of this shit today and have very little interest in a poll 11.5 months before mid-terms.

Maybe next week.

The GQP are quite worried about 2022 and thereon, therefore their corporate own media is in constant bashing and trashing of the Democrats and say nothing about that CRT bullshit, republicans dying of COVID, and the economy is on it's way to recovery.

If they predict it loud enough and often enough, they think it will happen. The only way, of course, is if they convince enough Democratic voters the situation is hopeless and they might as not well not even bother--that plus enough Republican voter disenfranchisement occurring that Democratic votes never even get cast.

How much horse race crap can a person take? These people are up and these people are down with no discussion about who’s policies help the most people. And no real discussion about who has done what policy-wise in the past. The host just nods their head to whatever claim is made by their political hack guests. It’s useless.

There is a reason they are paid millions. They manufacture opinion to match the owner class (GOP).

This time four years ago (2017) and sixteen years ago (2005), the beltway class insisted the Democrats were winning nothing in the coming midterm.
