I'm Getting Pretty Fed Up With So Called Pundits Telling Us HOw Bad The Dems Are Doing

Hair on fire, just like on Nicole's show, saying what the Dems aren't and should be doing. WE'RE LOSING according to them. A.B. Stoddard, Mathew Dowd, Claire McKaskill, Von Hillyard and all of them. And yet if you read Jennifer Rubin's recent column, she points a finger at the media as being the real problem. I also saw a piece on CNN that said in three of the four big races we're well ahead. In Penn., only 2 points separate the 2 which is a problem. Aside from those DEms who have a habit of publicly criticizing their own, people are doing what they can to help. Certainly PJB is,how many events can he do and still run the country. THere is always more that can be done but I'm done with the sky is falling types who do nothing but bad mouth the Dems. I always wish one of the hosts of a show would ask them what they are doing to help aside from sitting in front of their computers and complaining.

The Republicans here are being hammered in ads for being extremists on abortion and wanting to get rid of social security.

Dems are treated like women and POC, whereas repukes are treated like white males

we have to be twice as good to be considered half as good.......

I barely watch any cable news at this point.

I did hear someone on MSNBC this morning (listening in car for a minute), say that the polls are inaccurate because pollsters are still trying to figure out the cell phone/no landline issue.

But MSM still gloms on to one poll that shows Democrats in a pinch and run with it. They ignore every other poll - and the fact that the polls are inaccurate.

If we do lose next month, a good part of the blame will be on their shoulders.

us Dems and Libs. They really do want to be able to openly kill us. Nicolle needs to do a whole show on their hate for us.

But the BEST way to know who won is to count all the votes. Setting up a narrative that allows GOpers to question the results is in a way a form of anti-democracy and domestic terrorism.

the media is always wrong. You'd think they'd learn to quit their fortune teller BS, but they haven't.
