It's early yet, but there are some stunning signs that are great for Dems. Kansas abortion vote beat the polls by over 20 points. NY19 last night beat the polls by 10 points. Republicans are underperforming what they did in 2020 when the failed to take the House or keep the Senate.

In a whole bunch of directions at the same time. Hard to put a positive spin on their daily crisis. It looks like a big mess.

I feel better about stuff. I feel like the tide has turned and it will begin to snowball.

God , I love it when the quiet people start to take action. There's a whole lot of quiet people out there but they watch and they will come out to vote for something this important.

And I am fine with the media ignoring the momentum Dems have. Let November be just as big of a sock as Kansas was.

Huge mistake on their part; gave us enough time to mobilize and raise the issue as a very viable means to put voters in the booth.

One thing about the Republican party: they're tone deaf and love the smell of their own farts. Their arrogance gets them every time.

I am going to start doing this again until November. We have to run like we are WAY behind and the Democracy is at stake! If we show up and vote, we win, there are more of us than there are of them. Now, with that said, Democrats are lazy voters, it doesn't take much for a lot of us to decide it is to much trouble to show up and vote. Just look at 2016!

Run like we are way behind, and if we don't vote we have a fascist government. Giving the GOP the House right now is asking for 2 years of investigations, and nothing done that matters. Women's rights, Civil Rights, forget it, they will kill them if they can.

Get out the vote people! Reading polls and trying to read the tea leafs is fruitless!
