There are plenty of reasons to believe that Democrats are headed toward a blue wave. Democrats are turning out in record numbers in primary contests even in “safe” races. They continue to over-perform in special elections, even flipping the state legislative seat that includes Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
Added to that, the war in Iran is already causing Trump to crater with groups of voters that had boosted him to reelection such as Latino voters. And most major pollsters show that voters would overwhelmingly vote for a generic Democrat for Congress compared to a generic Republican.
But one of the biggest indicators of an impending Democratic win come November is the number of Republicans in the House of Representatives not running for reelection.
One of the reasons is we’re a year deep into “fight everywhere”.
The DNC has been giving all the money stolen from state parties via the “victory fund” Hillary started a decade ago, back to the state parties.
Allowing them to operate at campaign staffing levels when normally that’s just a couple months every other year.
If you understand what the DNC has been doing since they gave neoliberals the boot, none of this is surprising.
We’re most likely going to see FDR still president right after trump.
I fucking hope everything you are saying is true, but the Dems tend to let me down so much…
I’ve been bitching about “the Dems” since elementary school when they defended Bill Clinton for lying under oath…
A year ago was really the first time we pried the party back from neoliberals in all those 30 years, because Obama just ignored it instead of appointing chairs that agreed with him.
I’ll never be blindly optimistic about anything but as fucked as America is today, this is the most hopeful I’ve ever been for the country on a 10 year timeline.
We just ain’t thru the worst yet.
