(34,008 posts)In 2018, they all wanted Beto signs, now there isn't much demand. Turnout hasn't been all that great among Democrats. This isn't a poll, this is based on turnout. Sure there are the diehards, but I'm worried we could lose county seats. Two days left of early voting. I was hoping to see an uptick Tuesday and Wednesday, but turnout hasn't rebounded. We are not at the same percentage as 2018. We're down by 5-10% in turnout in Bexar County. El Paso and Hildago Counties are down by 50% in turnout from 2018. Blue counties hare having lower turnout. It appears that voters want to kinda go back to their 2014 habits. AKA: Democrats stayed home in 2014.
People are complacent. When boogie man Trump was in power they were motivated. They don't follow state and local politics. They watch MSNBC and CNN.
