I truly believe this year can be a blowout in favor of Dems

Repugnants may see the biggest drubbing an out of power party has seen in at least a generation.

There’s only one catch: we all have to vote, make sure our Dem friends and family vote, knock on doors and make phone calls! We can do this!!

Do everything you can to get fellow Democrats to cast their ballots.

The big turnout thus far should give us hope.

But Biden’s health is fine, he has kept up a schedule that most forty year olds couldn’t handle

Only the democrats try to help regular people, that’s the bottom line!

This election is about Congress, State Lege, Governors and other statewide executive positions.

I am not the least bit worried about Joe's health either. He is in fine shape!!

As a 50 year voting Democrat this year I've learned that too many on the Left are fickle and undependable voters needing to be inspired and motivated to vote rather than doing it as their duty. My own state of Wisconsin still suffers from the 2010 midterm debacle where in one election this state flipped from total Democratic control to total Republican control and Russ Feingold lost his Senate seat to Ron Johnson. We still suffer from it to this day and if the Republican nazi beats our Democratic governor for reelection, WI will be the Mississippi of the North.

but felt bad for you guys having 8 years of Scott Walker (a weasel who I noticed has kept out of the spotlight for some reason).

At least you got Tony Evers as a firewall now.

They know the dems will win, but make it close for ratings, the even cash in later on the coverage of all the republican bullshit election denial.

I did some blockwalking this afternoon and about half of my target voters had already voted. They probably voted on the last day of early voting. I cleaned up three sections of my precinct.

Tomorrow I will attack the rest.

Tuesday I am an election judge so can't do any more after tomorrow evening

voter's reality and commonsense results in a Democratic landslide (and GOP-gone-nasty's rebuke).

Hard not to be concerned and shamefully hard to have any faith in the media.

so I sincerely hope so. I wanted my vote to count toward humiliating that party. If they want to go full bore fascist theocratic dictatorship with that thing as their Messiah, let them suffer the consequences, and may those consequences utterly destroy all the damage they have done to us over the last 53 years.

I want the few who get elected to sit there in silence and irrelevancy. Maybe some of them will realize going crazy was a bad idea.
