Well he has 8 posts in a topic with 6,700 posts and showed up all of a sudden to tell me to knock it off, so I wanted to make sure I wasn’t tempting a ban by continuing to discuss what I want to discuss in this thread.
Yup, and it’s a vulnerability Dems don’t really have. Like, someone on here mentioned, “What if they do it back?”
Well, in order to do it back, our primary voters have to be susceptible to nominating batshit crazy candidates the general electorate won’t vote for. Seeing as we’re not the party of conspiracy theories, that’s asymmetrical warfare in our favor.
This is the price the GOP has to pay for cozying up to QAnon and batshit crazy Trumpers.
There’s also the Alaska second-round that’s a couple weeks away, we’ll win it, but it won’t get called in advance so that one won’t go on the board for a while officially.
California has fair districts and the D’s will run up the score in several of them, including some that are D on D races. So it should benefit R’s in the ratio.
I was cautiously optimistic results wouldn’t be as bad as expected, but also prepared to be disappointed. There really isn’t much precedent for a midterm like this.
R voters turning on Trump (in enough #s to swing an election) is an inflection point. It’s very hard to see those coming.
