(894 posts)26. Claiming it's over.
If Democrats were to prematurely claim it's over and then sit on our asses doing nothing, then that would be insane.
But that's not what's happening.
Whereas, Democrats boldly predicting that we're going to win (or expressing optimism that we're going to win), and for very sound reasons, but nonetheless continuing to work our asses off until the last vote is cast is confidence.
That IS happening.
Even the Harris-Walz campaign no longer consider themselves underdogs.

Complacency led to the first Trump regime, and many who tried to warn others were shouted down.

MANY things contributed to. And at the very least I acknowledge instead of pretending

Right but there always has to be someone to get us all in line like we are not already there.

If that's not the same as claiming that it's over then no one has ever claimed that it's over.

This... is my point too. We just do not do that one DU. OK, we won, lets all stop and go home.
