They have no path to win midterms, and they will run first. Funny thing is that they literally have nowhere to run. 🤣

    The republicans have a clear path to win, the election is a toss up between the two parties at this point.

    If the Democrats just assume public anger will mean they are going to win the midterm then they’re doomed. Despite everything Republican support is holding in the polls. Things are so polarised that Republican voters will seemingly accept anything of their party rather than accept a Democrat.

    1/3 support dems, 1/3 support republicans. The key is the 1/3 of voters who are not engaged in politics or hate both parties. The only way the dems can win the midterms is getting off their arses and speaking to those voters. But rightly, those voters are fed up with the shit fest that is US politics.

    The midterms are going to be down to the wire, and sadly I wouldn’t be surprised if the republicans win.

      Don’t forget the huge gerrymandering push to steal dozens of seats and try to force a Republican majority

      The dems have to engage the left they have completely alienated. The people on the edge of their overton window that think the dems are a complete and total failure and also invoke Godwins law every time a GOP policy is duscussed. Instead the dems think the people they need to seek are the centerists… And well… Look what that got them last time.

      You are absolutely insane:

      • Trump is underwater on every single issue
      • Support in his minority voting blocks that were the reason for 1% win have abandoned him
      • This Gerrymandering blshit is being put to a stop
      • Iowa, Virginia, and Nebraska are on track to flip
      • Dems have more popular polling candidates writ large in the midterms
      • The farming bloc just had a SEISMIC shift away from the GOP and will be endorsing any challengers

      Where the hell are you seeing the GOP winning anything? Even their own party is saying it’s going to be an absolute wipeout.

        Polling is all over the place but polling can’t be trusted worth a shit. Best advice is don’t be comfortable, be nervous, vote. Some folks clearly need fear as a motivator

        You are absolutely insane:

        I saw a lot of people say this exact fucking line the LAST TWO GODDAMN TIMES TRUMP WON.

        We need to stop making assumptions and start looking at factual reality.

        Just the gerrymandering issue alone is a huge setback. Then you factor in the dominion voting systems sale to a trump donor. It’s gunna be a wild ride at least.

          The Gerrymandering has effectively been shut down by Prop 50 being so popular in CA. Indiana isn’t moving on theirs, Missouri looks like it’s going to be shutdown, Ohio can’t move…etc…etc. These corrupt morons have only JUST learned what gerrymandering will actually do in their states, and they have no path to making any of this work anywhere but TX it seems, and CA has neutered that bullshit.
