Took less than 5 months for DU to go 95% Negative

23. I honestly think there are trolls here posting thread after thread of negativity

Are there challenges? Yes, there clearly are. Will the 2022 election be free and fair? Yes it will, these suppression efforts are nothing new, and the efforts in the states for Reps to seize control over the process are overblown and amount to little more than delaying tactics.

MSNBC isn't helping with their constant fear mongering.

And the redistricting that is happening this year is not going to make the map worse. Pennsylvania has a Dem governor who can veto maps, and a Dem Supreme Court who can rule for fair districts. Many other states went to bipartisan fair commissions, Michigan for instance. The worst gerrymandered states are going to be challenged to maintain such slanted districts given that the census data is coming coded with some uncertainty to make gerrymandering more difficult. We're losing 2 House seats just from the census, but the redistricting is not likely to flip any more and there's a chance when it's all said and done it's a wash.

And we have the Senate advantage with twice the Rep's seats up as Dem's. We're going to expand our advantage in the Senate.

And people don't even fully understand the laws Reps are trying to pass to take control of electors and the counting process. Do people even understand that there are no electors to certify in midterms? That all of this amounts to delays in results at most. But I'd bet half the posters here think that the Republicans have passed laws that let them just ignore the will of the people all together and have the state legislature declare the winner regardless of vote count. I spent a thread on here a while back arguing with someone who swore a law was in place that has not even been proposed yet.

Are Republicans evil and trying to undermine our elections? YES, they are, but that is nothing new. Are they taking it further than before? Yes. IS it a reason to give up? No, it's not. In fact I think the primary goal of all of this noise is to dishearten and depress Dem voters, to erode Dem's confidence in the vote too, and it's very effective at that.
