It's insane that it's 2017 and someone who openly questions the necessity of retirement benefits because the Bible says so should have been laughed out before a single ballot was cast.

Idk the GOP's relentless lust for old-people-death is like their only redeeming quality.

Republican voters vote for what they imagine their candidates to be, not what they are. One of the ways we can start to fix this is turning their own messaging against them.

For example, if 10 million people may die from loss of health insurance coverage over the next decade, why is the GOP in favor of killing more Americans than 3300 9/11s?

Yes. Democrats need to not be afraid to go low. Republicans sure as poo poo don't give a gently caress.

It sucks that Montana was lost to a Republican but it was by 7 points which is pretty good for a weird, hippie musician with no political experience in a PVI+11 state. Let's not forget that Kushner is being officially investigated by the FBI and there is ongoing resistance to GOP/Trump policies that it's creating an actual sustaining grassroots movement. Plus Ossoff has a good shot to win next month and 2018 is not far away. Trump is coming back and now has to deal with a lovely healthcare bill and a tax reform bill that is probably also going to be under intense scrutiny. If you want to bitch about anything, bitch about people not turning out to vote or gerrymandering in state legislatures without at-large seats.

A last word of advice. If you're of the philosophical type you may have been thinking of foraging in the brush for hemlock and going out like a certain Athenian. Bear in mind that the man in question was a foreign barbarian, a supporter of tyrants, and a traitor to his own Republic. If such a man should be your role model, why bother? Your true compatriots are on the other side of the battlefield.

I appreciated the Cato the Younger reference you made several pages ago. Just felt like I should point that out.

It seems that Dems are underperforming by about 4 points on average from the last polls. Lets hope Ossof keeps that 5+ point lead.

Most already voted before he'd done that in the first place. Otherwise it would've had a more pronounced effect.
