We Have To Win The House And Senate

[gab13by13]

We have to win the House and the Senate, our democratic form of government depends on it.

I already voted in Pa. for Fetterman and Shapiro. We not only need to flip Toomey's Senate seat, we need to keep a Democratic governor or our vote for president in 2024 will mean nothing if Mastriano is our governor.

People of Pennsylvania, it is not too late to register to vote if you are not registered, you have until October 24th.

It has come down to winning the 2022 election, we can and must win, losing is not an option.

1. Holding the Senate saves our Democracy for now

But if we get the House, we can pass laws to strengthen our Democracy and protect it from Republicans.

The polls show us holding the Senate and losing the House, but I think we can outperform based on Roe.

If we do lose the House, we'll have 2 years of gridlock and hopefully a 2024 where we take the House back.

2. Losing the House will be way worse than gridlock.

If the Magats win the House they will control the purse strings. Do not put it past those evil bastards to shut down the government to stop the Trump investigations. If they control the House they will go after the IRS.

There is so much damage the Magats can do, and I don't expect Kevin McCarthy will be the Speaker, it will be someone much more radical.

7. Fed Republican Jay Powell..

... is hurting our chances a lot with the Fed hikes & threats of another 1 before the election.

By arbitrarily raising rates repeatedly, the Federal Reserve discourages potential new businesses from creating new supply chains that can alleviate the real roots of today's inflation.

Unfortunately, the majority of business media talking heads are stuck on Econ. 101, & ignore these very real economic consequences, especially those at Foxaganda, that really want to undermine Democrat presidents.

Jerome Powell is a Republican, very much willing to help force our President Biden to fail.

1 economist who does understand this side of the economic equation is David Cay Johnston, who is an American investigative journalist and author, a specialist in economics and tax issues, and winner of the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for Beat Reporting.

3. If women are energized about Roe as much as claimed we should get both. I don't

expect it though. James Carville "It's the economy stupid". I think inflation is what will decide this election.

5. I hear you,

and the DOW just dropped 500 points today, and gas prices just jumped up, and 401k's are hurting.

We have a lot to overcome.

4. Losing the house is NOT an option

GOTV

6. People need to understand what the Magats will do

with control of the House. This is not government as usual.

8. We will lose the House, but hold the Senate.

I know, not a popular view here, but wishful thinking won't make it magically happen. Let's be honest with ourselves and face reality.

9. The reality of what? Polls?

The right wing narrative is that the Magats will win the House. This isn't a normal off-presidential election year. Roe and keeping our democracy is on the ballot.

[SlimJimmy]

11. No, all legitimate polls say this,. .

538 says this. And the latest CNN poll says Roe is polling at about 5% in importance, compared to 38% that say inflation is the most important to them. I'm a realist, are you? I say GOTV and get as many House seats as possible, but don't think this is some RW meme. It's not.

10. Nevada is troubling, so we must pickup PA or OH or WI

That will be the only seat that the Republicans pick up in the Senate, but we can counter that.

[SlimJimmy]

12. Yes. We should pick up PA.
