New midterm meme:. Dems running out of steam

They are setting up stealing another election.

Bottom line for me is that if after the past two years, Retrumplicans don't get their asses kicked, we must go higher when they go lower

The MSM does this every election. Message boards like DU get inudated with this false narrative. The media creates the mindset that the race is close, which gives an alibi to those who are willing to tamper with our election, and also serves to dampen the spirit of Democrats.
Hopefully, this will only make our side work harder to GOTV and our overwhelming turnout will thwart their plan. I have never seen Democrats fight harder for a cause then they have done these past few weeks. I am very proud of our elected officials. We are not running out of steam.
I get in the habit if ignoring those concern posts/posters and concentrate on the goal. Nobody will cause me to lose hope.

Morning Joe Show by turning it off and spending that time defending our country.

Turn off Joseph Goebbels/Joemika.

We are in a war. People have already been killed. Don't let the enemy move into your mind and keep knocking you off balance.

I read DU and many US and foreign news sites in addition to PBS Newshour, Frontline and the broadcast network evening news. I’ll tune into NPR to listen to the propaganda spin.

My conservative mom watches broadcast news and morning shows. I like to know what objective, non-objective and MSM propaganda she is hearing and tro figure out how she processes and understands about what is really happening in the US.

Edit: I keep up with my local and state news as well as CSPAN.

9. WaPo has one of their Dems in disarray!!!

articles up that they have every year. We don’t have a unifying leader, we’re sinking in the polls. Of course , we don’t have a leader, we didn’t win the Presidency. The Republicans didn’t have a unifying leader either before 2016 for the same reason but it’s a cause of concern when it’s the Democratic Party. So sick of the Dem in disarray bullshit that’s trotted out every election. Btw, Nate Silver said after looking at the numbers that he’s not seeing a big increase in enthusiasm among Republicans for the mid terms because of Kavanaugh contrary to what pundits are spewing.

11. MSM was spouting a Fox News poll that showed Dems in trouble in red state Senate seats

The Senate for this cycle has always been a longshot based on the number of Dem seats up and where they are. Throw in the facts that 200,000 hayseeds from ND get EXACTLY the same Senate representation as 35,000,000 people in California, and the Senate "is what it is".

Still, the MSM will run story after story about how the Dems are confined to "Coastal and Big City Elites", BUT NOT ONE FUCKING STORY ABOUT RETRUMPLICANS being confined to "Pig Farms where you can legally marry your sister"

I will say this; "if Democrats don't, at a minimum, take back the House on November 6, then on November 7, there SHOULD NOT be one AM Hate Radio Station or Faux News channel still operating in ANY BLUE CITY. There ought to not be ONE advertiser on the Limpballs Program that makes ONE fucking dime in a blue city.

Let them sell their "hair-club for men" and "erectile dysfunction" shit in Dumbfuckistan, Murika.

Retrumplicans have used the power of Dumbfuckistan, 'Murika to turn this country into a shit-hole. Dems ought to use the economic power of vibrant urban areas to TAKE THIS COUNTRY THE FUCK BACK!!!!!
