Is that we can not listen to the corporate news media pushing doom and gloom for Dems before every election.
WHEN WE VOTE, WE WIN and they are trying to suppress that with a "narrative" that they should at least know by now is FALSE.

(83 posts)Get out the Vote efforts. Volunteer to make calls, give rides to the polls, get friends and family out, become a poll watcher.
When you vote we get a vote, but when you volunteer, you multiply that vote!!!

(46,512 posts)Republicans always try a bandwagon effect but it gives voters something to react against too.
MSM plays along but it's like a challenge to Democrats. If you don't vote, this is the way it will go. We are not taking that medicine.

(21,417 posts)Ever since 2016 its been Dems out performing the polls in every major election and every special election. And since Biden has taken over its been more pronounced and one after another.

(19,325 posts)Mr.Bill
(24,716 posts)but when they come up with polls calling any race close, it's probably our best tool for getting out the vote. And when more of us vote, we all know what happens. We win.
when we VOTE. Let's do this again just like 2020.

SAME FOR THE MEN, although we can't get pregnant....
If we love women and care about their rights, we must VOTE WITH THEM!!!
The New York congressional results in 2022 were an anomily based on local political problems---
and Democrats continue their massive winning streak in 'special elections' tonight!!!

It wasn't 2010, and it wasn't 2014---
"The party in control of the White House loses big in midterm elections"---
Well, NO-- didn't happen. Yeah, we lost the House by a narrow margin,
but we only controlled it by a very narrow margin before that election---
GQP predictions of gaining 30 or 40 seats??? DIDN'T HAPPEN---
and the narrowly held GQP House is a laughting-stock abomination!
Democrats WILL win back the House in 2024--- and possibly save our Democracy in doing so.
What happens in the other elections? I can't say,
except that EVERYTHING is in play,
and the Dobbs decision will not be forgotten!!!!

(113,065 posts)and that is when the Republicans serve up every bleeding heart liberal's dream candidate, they'd better pinch themslces hard and take a much closer look.
That district always tended Democratic. They just couldn't resist a rags to riches gay Brazilian Jew whose Mom died on 9.11 and whose extended family died in the Holocaust.
I don't suggest they turn into hardened cynics, nobody likes those. They just need to look a little more closely at Republicans who try that hard to appeal to Democrats.

(13,497 posts)For too long we've been acting like the border isnt a disaster when it OBVIOUSLY has been. Now we've had a bill to start to deal with it & trump doesnt want it because its GOOD.
Go full force at this; point out that trump doesnt care about the border. Point out all the new powers this bill has & the GOP is who is stoping it. Dont "both sides" it, go at them. "We're trying to fix the problem and they want to prolong it"
Get some good writers and HIT HARD

(20,256 posts)but they're too polite and wordy. "We're trying to fix the problem and they stopped it" or "Rs just want to complain about immigration not fix it" You're right, it shouldn't be hard to turn it around if everyone is on the same page.

The new year also signifies the start of a new 20-year fengshui cycle, in which the fire element will be dominant.
