Hell even D's are up on R's in Texas! Even in 2018 and 2020 they outnumbered us. This is why I'm taking all polls as bullshit.

I feel we will do fine on election day too. People are saying Roe isn't important, but it is very important because its a fucking right! I know inflation is bad, but electing those fascist bastards are not gonna fix it. YOU CANNOT FIX IT IF ITS WORLDWIDE! God these people and I mean those like swing voters are so dumb to believe that a magical R will fix it all. It will not. I hope people realize that.

Nobody is sleeping through this election, just look at the viewership of the January 6th hearings. Voting numbers are already breaking records and that's only where early voting is available now. And absentee ballots and election day voting is still to come...

Fuck the MSM. We control the narrative. They said Newsom would be recalled, he blew out his previous win. Kansas, Alaska, NY. We blew it out. I bet we would have kept VA Gov if that election was after Dobbs.

But I'm so sick of hearing it. I see the proof in early voting. Not some boneheads in a diner telling us how evil them libs are for eating children and giving away free hormones to children to turn them super gay.

I'm banking on a HUGE gender cap to carry Dems to victory in the House. I think Senate is a given.

Reporting states with gender data: GA, KS, MI, NC

Gender Count Percent
Female 1,123,442 54.3
Male 926,570 44.8
Unknown 18,500 0.9
TOTAL 2,068,512 100.0

registered to vote than men.

I went to vote early in person yesterday here in NC and the voting place was packed. My county is a Democratic stronghold in NC.
