My guess is there will not be a Congressional election this year

It’s important to not feel over confident. That leads to less turn out because people think their victory is already secured without them participating.
Both times we lost I met so many who were like “well I didn’t think he would” who didn’t even bother to go to the polls.

Both times the problem wasn’t voters were overconfident though…

Both times voters just didn’t like the Dem candidates, and the Dem candidates operated under the assumption they were safe enough to just scream at anyone who wasn’t 100% positive about two candidates with zero combined charisma and far to the right of their own voter bases

You can’t just order voters to fake enthusiasm.

If you want enthusiastic voters you have to let them have a candidate you like.

Which is why last year the DNC appointed a chair who will let fair primaries happen again…

Agree, but then by not voting they allowed the worse of the two to get in.

Yeah…

But if you’re blaming voters you’re using the same neoliberal logic that even the DNC realized wasn’t working…

I actually use Voyager and swiped too far. But hey, that is. You can keep it, and this new one.

Suuuuure.

Has nothing to do with you making simping for a billionaire your main personality trait.

Taylor swift cares as much about you as trump cares about his voters or Bill Gates cares about a random windows user.

Obviously it was an accident and you not willing to sacrifice the rest of us so Tay Tay can get a 17th plane.

Have fun, I’m sure if you keep doing it she may wave at you from 200 yards away some day.

weirdly personal attack, but k.
