Many people predict the Dems to gently caress it up before the election but I predict they’ll win and THEN gently caress it up as in they will basically just give their won seats over to GOP voluntarily as a sign of good faith or something.

lol yeah they are basically gonna gently caress it up one way or another and its going to deflate the base while racist turtle gets on tv and bitches about bipartisanship for the next two years and we will see another GOP wave in 2020.

EV wasn't great for Dems in 2016, but a big part of that was that the GOP ran a comparable GOTV effort themselves. In the end, both sides ran an equally effective GOTV effort, but that for reasons that aren't completely clear, Dems are more likely to vote early. Trump won because undecided voters broke decisively for him at the end, not because of any early voting trend.

The stats were wrong because people who voted for trump were always going to vote for trump and were never ‘undecided’ but kept it a secret because voting for trump is shameful poo poo even for the GOP and when someone called them or came to their door to canvas they hid and clutched a shotgun because the jew liberal media is out to get them

“Undecided” since like 2000 just means Republican voter who is too embarrassed or paranoid at that time to admit they’re a giant piece of poo poo

i'm pretty sure the dems will win the house (not the senate) but proceed to do nothing of note in the majority, or even actively abet far-right legislation in exchange for "demands." in NY alone they'll pick up at least four or five seats and likely more

people need to lie that they're undecided to match the amount of Republicans lying and so that candidates can get asked hard questions about uncomfortable subjects they may have excluded from their public platform

so i got a letter in the mail from the "Center for Voter Information" and this is the most milquetoast poo poo. any organization that's committed to just getting people to vote, and takes no active stance on anything is extremely succ.

Our Revolution contacted me to let me know their endorsements on ballot issues and asked if I needed help voting. A few months ago they texted me their primary endorsements. Daily begging emails that go straight to trash aside, that is exactly how much interaction I want with an advocacy group

if it makes you feel any better any organization advocating increased voter turnout is by definition left leaning

the right has hitched their wagon to horses called white male and straight and theyre only going to be able to continue to rule as a shrinking minority through wholesale disenfranchisement of nonwhite female and queer with queer being used as the catch all category not as the grade school insult

the right does not want more people to vote

the difference between a billboard that just says vote and a billboard that says vote for fully automated luxury space communism now is that just saying vote will increase turnout from people who might otherwise think theyre being told how to vote and on the balance just getting more asses into booths works out better for the left

so yeah im with you but a light touch isnt that bad of an idea here

My city has a referendum on a civilian police oversight board and while I was going through random 80s music stations on iTunes I heard a radio ad that starts with

$1 million [cash register sound]
$2 million [cash register sound]
...
$9 million (in a sterner spookier voice) [cash register sound]
over 30 seconds before they even let on what they're talking about. They know it's a small number even in the context of city politics so they've got to try to make it sound more like it is by counting to nine with "Mississippi"-sized pauses between. Also, it's a lie because the text of the amendment itself says the board has a $1.5 million funding cap.

I hope the referendum gets approved

Dumbass question, but is there a place where I can search for candidates/ballot measures in a given area and learn more about them? The local Dem org sent me a flyer about the Dem candidates running for office here as well as the main ballot measure for my city, but I feel like I should do more reading than just that.

Ballotpedia is pretty in depth with info including who supports/opposes a measure and money put in/who wrote/sponsored it.
