In It to Win It

Fuck the bullshit! GOP spin about it being a 'great' election for them is horseshit! [View all]

FOR WHATEVER REASON, every time their narrative is always the main story.

In 2018, we had a WAVE year. We did PHENOMENAL! Their narrative was that it wasn't much of a wave year for Democrats. They had Democrats questioning whether it was really a wave for us.

This year, losing the presidency is a 'great election' for republicans because they possibly didn't lose the senate?????

EXCUSE ME? WHAT KIND OF FUCKERY IS THIS?

We knew the Senate was an uphill battle. Because we didn't oust Mitch McConnell or Lindsey Graham, they took back a Senate seat we should have never had any chance of winning in the first place and we didn't win in ruby-red Montana, it was a bad year for us. FUCK THAT!

1) After 2016, we got to work.
2) In 2017, We won a senate race in fucking ALABAMA! ALABAMAAA! We had no business winning that seat!
3) We had a historic victory in 2018. We were competitive in states we had no business being competitive in like Texas and Georgia.. and won a governorship red ass Kansas.
4) We lessened their Senate majority. We made Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski the most powerful senators in their possible majority (and we'll be waiting on our gift basket for that).
5) They lost 2 Senate seats in Arizona, a long republican stronghold, IN TWO BACK-TO-BACK ELECTIONS.
6) In 2020, for the ultimate prize, we're about to win the Presidency.

IF I COULD DO A FUCKING MIC DROP ON THIS FORUM, I WOULD!

We're doing our job! This is progress! They're not taking this away!
