Kreeblah posted:Can't speak for anybody else here, but I very much don't want the GOP to win. I do, however, want the Dems to be destroyed. It sucks rear end that, because of how our political system was designed here, the latter implies the former, but it is what it is. If you want someone to hold an elected office, vote for them. If there isn't anyone you like, don't vote. Strategic voting sucks. Don't do it. Anyone who blames you for the results can get hosed.

As soon as polls came out showing middle class agreement with the message of the protests, the "lawless rioter" memes emerged to use property destruction and racist/classist depictions of poor people to pound the wedge back in.

It's even worse, their message is "look at how great we've made your lives", they're not talking about the future except for the ones who are talking about codifying roe, that is literally the only forward looking message they're giving

if they honestly lose some of these supposed deep blue states they really are doomed at least for the 2024 election which is probably the last one they have a chance of even winning once the chuds pass their neat voting laws they want.

The excuse is that trafalgar always adjusts the GOP results downward as election day nears. but I think that instead we're gonna see why trafalgar is rated A- by 538.

Real hurthling! posted:i think mail in votes are way more likely to be democratic votes in a lot of places likely, but here's the thing: party registration doesn't necessarily mean party dominance or results. until very recently, eg, I'm p. sure that FL had more registered dem voters than republican, but it's been like 10 years since a dem won a statewide race there. and that's leaving aside how indies are breaking for the gop 75 percent in some races, when they titled dem & helped elect biden just two years ago.
