I went to dinner with 2 long time feminist Dems tonight and one’s voting Republican and the other’s not voting, yet I watch 30 minutes of news that still insists it’s going to be a close call. It seems logical there’s going to be a Red Wave but few people are saying so?
This is what I have been saying for about a year. I think almost half of the feminists out there are coming over to our side, generally the kind who are for real, own their shit, and do not constantly play this victim act.
White professional women in particular have no business in that Marxist cesspool.
looks like Dale ran into some hard times... At least he wasn't stealing campaign signs in the dead of night or bragging on facebook about recieving illegal campaign contributions though.
The Oregon Governors race is interesting to me. Hasn't been a GOP governor since 1979. Most polls have the incumbent Dem gal up by 4 point +/-, however it is strongly over sampled Dem. If you look at the county by county map, it's Eugene and Portland against the rest of the state.

This is looking kind of bad for democrats. Maybe I am wrong due to confirmation bias, but holy shit this looks bad for them. They are losing polls in more battleground districts now. Not sure about the Senate situation. Maybe they can still pull that off.
Lets not make same mistake DNC made in 2016 - some Conservatives may not vote bc they think its pointless in view of Blue Wave - so Blue Wave rhetoric may ramp up in the next few weeks.

Yeah, I'm looking at this thing and it appears to me that Doc is right about the Red Tsunami stuff. I'm just not buying willing to say there is any overwhelming movement right now. I'm respecting the Dems ability to scare and heard frightened urbanites, commit voter fraud and break election rules...…………. they've been doing it since at least Tammany Hall, and it works for them.
I'm sticking with my prediction of it being close, GOP picks up a couple seats in the Senate, hangs on with a couple seats in the House. The country remains in all appearances to be split down the middle.
The reason for this is not a big mystery. When a seat in the Senate goes for ten million dollars and a seat in the House for over a million, and there are no real restrictions on campaign financing, and the corporate-owned media decide in advance which candidates will be given airtime, and considered “serious” by the mainstream pundits who work for the handful of corporations that own the vast majority of newspapers, television and radio stations, and internet platforms that control the flow of information to the American public … well, it would kind of be a little odd, wouldn’t it, if authentic anti-ruling-class candidates were allowed to enter and compete in that system?
Most Americans understand this, which is why nearly half of them do not vote. It’s humiliating enough to be forced to live, and attempt to support a family, and so on, in a savage, neoliberal marketplace with virtually no social cohesion whatsoever, and in which the only real operative value is money, without also having to debase themselves by participating in the simulation of democracy that the capitalist ruling classes need to maintain in order to pretend that they are not just social parasites with a lot of goons and guns.

Of why you don't know anything and don't even bother to inform yourself about the most basic things of our democracy, like how a primary works? I bet.

What happens if they lose both?
Did you accidentally write House instead of Senate? Because the House is still in play. Democrats in local districts have been able to look sane and not connected to Pelosi. In the Senate, dems are killing themselves left and right.
