6 reasons for Dems to be hopeful about the 2022 midterms

[Rightguide]

I dunno about leaders, but Dem voters

If they're so smart how do they continue to produce the dumbest failures on earth for representatives? How did "smart voters" not see AOC coming, Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi, the communist Squad and its lack of intellect, Com-simps like Bernie, failures like Kamals and Joe?

Every single one of those is a lot smarter than you, and not even Bernie is a Comsymp, and Kamala and Joe are VP and POTUS respectively, so they ain't exactly failures.

But, of course, Dem voters, like Pub voters, only get to choose among the choices presented on the ballot -- which is determined by a process that happens well above the level, and beyond the control or influence, of the average voter.

That's why a large part of Biden's campaign sought to portray him as "an ordinary Joe", even though his actual working class credentials were scant.

Scant credentials? He's originally from Scranton. You can't get any more working class than that.

Just because you hate them doesn't mean they're failures, Whiteguide.

I expect that has mostly burned itself out.

The long hot summers of the 1960's continued until the inauguration of Richard Nixon. They started in Harlem in 1964, and got worse every year, culminating with 1968. Black criminals loot and burn stores when they think they can get away with it.

Abortion rights, the Republicans, and the Democrats

The Roe vs Wade decision of 1973 was good for the Republicans. Overturning Roe will be good for the Democrats.

A libertarian can be described as a Republican who likes pornography and non marital sex, and who dislikes going to church. Roe convinced these people that they could safely dispose of their nuisance pregnancies, and vote for tax cuts, which is the reason they like the GOP.

Evangelicals are usually lower middle class people. Before Roe many of them voted Democrat because they know that they benefit from middle class entitlements, like Social Security, Medicare, minimum wage legislation, unemployment compensation, and so on. Nevertheless, they are conservative on sexual issues. The Roe decision caused them to become a Republican constituency.

In 1980 Jerry Falwell convinced these people that they should abandon the most sincerely Christian president the United States has probably ever had, and vote for a product of Hollywood, who seldom attended church.

In short, the Roe decision caused millions of Evangelicals and libertarians to vote Republican, who would otherwise have voted Democrat, or not voted at all.

Overturning Roe will have the opposite effect. Abortion rights will again become a legislative issue. Most states will legalize abortion. Some states will legalize abortion by name in their constitutions. Christian conservatives will realize that they do not belong to a "moral majority," but to a shrinking minority. They will become demoralized. Many will retreat from politics and resume their passive wait for the Second Coming of Christ.

I doubt it. Every one of those is defrauding the American taxpayer, gaslighting them daily, and serving their own personal interest. Nobody voted for a Bernie Sanders shadow government with a brainless puppet as its figurehead.

8. More Republicans than Democrats are dying or in hospital from Covid, and it is the Republican activists who are suffering most.

as for 7 above - The Democrats didn't cheat. Biden won fairly.

It ain't the '60s no more.

. . . a Bernie Sanders shadow government . . .

Yep, they're all smarter than you, all right.

Elections are decided by the uncommitted, the swing voters.

At present Republicans still supporting Trump look the less sensible alternative.

Shouting about stolen elections and that Jan 6th was nothing aren't convincing.

 

[butters]

strong job market, the rising wages particularly for the typically poorest paid jobs, improvements in roads/rail/internet, this administration's efforts to lessen effects of covid (despite anti-vax propaganda aimed at sabotaging success in this endeavor), strengthened relationships with allies, growth in manufacturing and production industries, acknowledgement of the importance of union jobs and promotion of these.... lots of stuff

Not all of whom are in the middle.

Not all of whom are in the middle.

And many former Republican voters are irritated with the party's support of the lying loser 45.

The detachment from reality necessary to believe really any of this is truly impressive.

It ain't the '60s no more.

Liberals seem intent on making the same mistakes they made during the 1960's. As a result crime rates are increasing.

Her, and the parts in bold.

Recovering from the damage the left deliberately incurred on the excuse of covid isn't is hardly "growth". You guys are the abusers who beat the poor economy nearly to death and you want a cookie because it's still got a pulse

Ain't shit getting fixed, that money is gone and in 3 years all the roads and bridges are still going to be crumbling away.

Anti-mandate/lockdowns/concentration camps aren't anti-vax.

Strengthened relationships with allies?? That's fucking hysterical....more like back to being bullied by people who sneer, wave their fingers and look down their nose at us but (D)'eez just love.

Unions are fucking trash that's why they're dying and need to be taken out back and put down mercifully.

All of the above is nothing but your opinion. Show us what was factually wrong with the statement you objected to. Or at least, recognize that is not what you have done here.

 

[pecksniff]

There are no concentration camps but those for immigrants.

 

[Champakian]

Are we up to 10 reasons to be hopeful yet?


You'd think they wouldn't have got stuck of six...

That would be Republican-level stupidity.

 

[bellisarius]

The article is actually funny in a bizarre way. It borders on throwing a wine bottle cork to a drowning man.

 

[GothTalk]

Prove it...... otherwise this is nothing but your opinion.

Except for the prediction that the government infrastructure spending will go like every other government spend-A-thon and do fuck all but set money on fire, everything I stated was a fact.

 

[Chernosoth]

I don't know who's on the ballot yet. 2020 in my district was a choice of asswipe or asshole.

 

[Champakian]

Wouldn't you think that the President's overwhelming popularity would have made the list?

The Kamala effect too.
