Dead Gaza Babies MatterMy guess is there will not be a Congressional election this year
ZomgIt’s important to not feel over confident. That leads to less turn out because people think their victory is already secured without them participating.
ScrubblesBoth 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…
Harris was selling out multiple stadiums for her campaign. Just because she personally didn’t check every single box that leftists on here have, they stayed home.
And now we have a Nazi president, because these people weren’t happy with 30-40-50% of what they probably wanted, so they get nothing instead.

Why didn’t she win then?

They shouldn’t have stayed home. They should’ve voted for Jill Stein or Cornel West.
Should have voted for the Russian agent Jill Stein? Yeah sure thanks for telling everyone you’re not a serious person.
While that’s a narrative that sounds nice and reassuring, the data is more depressing than that.
The percentage of voting eligible people that actually came out for the election in 2024 was second only to 2020 since they’ve tracked VEP, and I think we can all agree 2020 had a whole lot of special circumstances. The easiest election ever to cast a ballot in, under the most duress the citizens have known, with folks having plenty of spare time to vote. It enjoyed an anomolous high turnout but those circumstances evaporated by 2024.
The last time we saw arguably higher turnout other than 2020 was the 1960s.
We did not have some anomolous low turnout in 2024 to blame, the fairly typical voting turnout actively preferred this…
No we had a stolen election. There’s ample proof of that.
