I just assume the young Rs are waiting til election day because they know from the MyPillow guy that early voting is rigged and they want to make sure their vote counts.

Just tune out for a while. It will not be healthy to willfully submit yourself to the Red Wedding. Just accept things for how they are and hope for the best and opt out of the outrage machine to keep yourself as sane as possible as we continue the long slow march to deplorable rule.

This is pretty much where Iā€™m at.

Unless of course you want to be a democracy superstar and try to fight to be the change you want to see. All in favor of that, but assuming youā€™re a regular non-participant (for better or worse), save yourself the stress imo.

Ill probably quit following politics all together after the massacre. What is really the point then? Its going to be two years of stonewalling with nothing getting done, and then likely an even worse outcome in 2024.

Democratic funded poll. Kelly up by double digits.

Independent poll:

I wonder which one will be more accurate :harold:

Even if you want to do this, doomscrolling through UP or other ā€œhigh infoā€ places is probably not the way to do it. You want to get out there doing actual grassroots work like @skydiver8, AKA The Very Best Of Us.

Sunday was my first time in the wild seeing a negative ad pretend to be a positive ad. Our American Century PAC ran it against Maggie Hassan in NH, I was half listening to it, first half was cheering Hassan on for voting with Biden, and said something about ā€œOther democratic leaders (shows picture of Manchin and Sinema) wonā€™t stand with Biden, but Maggie doesā€, seemed like an odd flex, but OK.

Closes with something like ā€œShe also supports fighting climate change, acknowledging white supremacy is a national security threat, transgender rights and critical race theory. Call her to say thank you!ā€ and I was like waittaminnitā€¦

I canā€™t find a copy of the ad

It is pretty funny to see lol American politics racing towards an Idiocracy bottom of Republicans running vicious attack ads on Dems accusing them of trying to help people (THATā€™S SOCIALISM!) while Dems desperately try to undermine any claim that they are giving people anything, lest they be labelled as SOCIALISTS!

I kind of like this?

Pretty sure there should be one more with a Vince scanners head explosion that says ā€œDems will keep the houseā€ because that is fucking absurd
