19. Please, can we get real?

Read my post above, again. It is not "dooming and glooming". It is a reminder that we are not in a fair fight. Don't let pre-election polls change GOTV efforts.

The reality is that the GOP will lie, steal, and cheat to gain or maintain power. If voters fail to recognize this, GOP will consolidate power gains. If voters do not overwhelm the cheats that are in place, GOP will consolidate power gains. Good news in pre-election polling is helpful only if it is used to motivate more voters.

Doom and gloom will be the result if we do not get enough people to go vote D.
