it's usually just an hour (sometimes shorter, occasionally longer where they want to screw you over) for one day to save you at least some agony in the news and your daily life for the next 2 years. Take the hour and early vote, or vote on the day, or vote by mail. Tell your boss what you're doing if you have to, don't let them give you any shit, it's your right. Go.

Tomorrow is my day off and you better believe I am going to the voting booth. I first voted in the 1992 elections and I have never ever EVER been more motivated to vote in my life.

They consider culture war stuff to be their "deeply held values" and think that's what they are voting on. And while they'll definitely be tossed some red meat like ICE, they're mostly voting for someone to empty their pockets to give more to the already rich.

Conservatives have and will continue to vote against their children's future and erase all hopes of upward mobility for them. Just remember, Liberals are hated more than any love they have, so they will always choose hate when given the choice. It's what they are as a culture and people. Their kids lost health insurance, and my bills went up, yet they think it was a winning plan.

Just “my team forever” types that are ignorantly set in their ways and can’t think for themselves. It’s easier to just go with the crowd than to think for yourself.

Calm geo politics lead to stable prices. A properly functioning government leads to breakups of monopolies and regulation that helps keep water clean, air breathable, and again, stable prices.

Less culture war and bullshit out there leads to happier populations which in turn can increase living standards and GDP.

u/Due_Satisfaction2167 12h ago

The senate only elects a third of its membership every 2 years, and the current map this year strongly favors Republicans.

The fact that Democrats are likely to make gains against that map is an incredible shift, and sets them up for a deep Senate majority in 2028. 

5

u/Frogspoison 12h ago

There are far less truely blue/leftist states then there are deeply red, next-to-no population red states. When the empty west has just as much say in the senate as the hyper-populated northeast, you can really see why the US is such a right-wing country on a global scale. In the Senate, land votes, and the rural land is deep red.

While republican senators have the most seats up for re-election this round, most of those seats are in deep red states.

Right. Only when people vote for the GOP, those GOP dont represent the average American voter. You have TACO looking out only for himself and stealing billions, and being controlled by Russia and China, yet the GOP in congress won’t use their power to hold TACO responsible. Yet so many GOP running for re-election will win their seats.

Voters need to think critically. I know it’s difficult as I have some MAGAt family members as well. I have given up on them, and dont interact with them because they don’t make any sense

They can blame themselves. They're the ones up for re-election.

If they had been, I dunno, pushing back on Trump's insanity and doing veto proof majority legislation by working with Democrats, then Trump wouldn't be a factor.

If they'd support impeachment and showing evidence, their jobs wouldn't be up for grabs.

When Nixon was forced to resign, the Republican party didn't go with him. Remember how popular Reagan was when he ran for office?

If they hadn't decided to all be beta bottoms for Trump, they wouldn't be on the verge of being fired by the voters.

Voters want them to solve problems, not create new ones by rubber stamping the toddler war criminal in diapers in-chief.

u/unaskthequestion 12h ago

Exactly. They have proven themselves to be cowards. There's pretty consistent reporting, going back to his first term, that republicans in office will privately say they hate him, that he's incompetent, etc. But they're afraid to cross him, even for the worst things he does

These Republicans shouldn't blame Trump for anything. They had every opportunity to vote against people like Hegseth, vote against DOGE, which made zero improvement and likely cost the government money, and did nothing to properly reform the ACA. The opportunities for them to show character, competence, and commitment go on and on. Yet at every opportunity, they bent the knee to stupidity.

To be frank I never understand this perspective. Not that I don't believe you that this is the intent, just that I in general can't believe it works - hearing "yay it looks like we're gonna beat em!" isn't demotivating... If it looked like dems were slated to lose, that would ve demotivating. Why bother, the world is going to hell and everyone agrees with the bad guys, etc. Hearing "hey it looks like your side is motivated and prevailing!" is the most motivating thing I could possibly hear.

Edit: spelling

This is very obviously a “duh” statement. Trump was much more popular in 2018 than he is now. His approval rating that fall was around 40–42%, yet Republicans decisively lost the midterms, giving up 41 House seats. The Senate map was also heavily favorable to Republicans, much like this election, and they actually gained two seats. The inverse happened in 2022, when a favorable Democratic Senate map helped them maintain a 50–50 split.

Now, Trump’s approval is in the low 30s and trending downward. The economy is in much worse shape than it was in 2018, in many ways directly because of Trump’s own actions. He’s also making one unforced error after another.

I think Democrats will flip the House by a 50-seat margin, which could be even larger without Republican gerrymandering. I also think Democrats will flip the Senate, gaining 4–7 seats to reach a 51–54 seat majority. A net gain of 4–7 seats on this map would be insane.

If they actually cared about abortion or babies they would support free and accessible birth control, subsidized childcare, subsidized housing for parents, free school lunches, free healthcare for children, etc etc.

It's about punishing women. Women dying from sepsis isn't a bug, it's a feature. Forcing women to drive out of state and pay way more for abortions is intentional. Forcing women to have more children than they can afford and punish them for it is the whole point.

They had two years to do something. But all they seemingly did was chase social media clout and try to get in on that sweet data center bribe money. There were no checks or balances. Cowards.

Lol these guys still think they're gonna keep the Senate.

u/More_Lavishness8127 8h ago

This is just a ploy to get people to not vote. If you care about democracy you will stop posting this shit.

u/addiktion 12h ago

Good news isn't an excuse to not vote. The people need to send a clear message here. The next 4 weeks are critical for our democracy.

u/jeremyfails 12h ago

I still don't think there will be an election

u/AccountHuman7391 12h ago

Well, kinda Trump’s fault. You were free to reign in his dumb shit at any time.

2

u/kss2023 12h ago

This is what is going to happen: someone will file a claim of fraudulent voting.. and DOJ will seize ballots to “investigate “

u/benice6969 12h ago

Since he’s the worst president in our history, makes sense to blame him!

u/SpecialistAssociate7 12h ago

If this is indeed a blue wave. Expect there to be a scramble to pass a shit ton of new policies this year.

u/BlueFeathered1 12h ago

I'm not counting on a House win. This timeline is too messed up to count on anything actually going right.

u/Sad_Clerk6681 12h ago

Maybe Republicans are just tired of winning?

Still gotta vote

u/juggadore 12h ago

What are they going to do about it?

2

u/tilapiah6 12h ago

Nope! Ignore this. VOTE LIKE YOUR SINGLE VOTE WILL DETERMINE THE OUTCOME.

u/javawong 11h ago

Brace yourselves for the ultimate "rigged election" diatribe from this a-hole.

2

u/hystericalsociety 11h ago

The party of person responsibility isn't taking theirs.

Trump doesn't exist in a vacuum.

They enabled him at every turn, they could've shut this down at any time.

Johnson in the way? Another excuse.

They could appoint a new speaker at literally any time.

Predictable but it's still infuriating.

2

u/BabblingTower 11h ago

Boo hoo, now stay fucking focused, we need the Senate too. And we need enough of the Senate that we can flip some of these corrupt Republicans and get to the 2/3 needed for conviction.

2

u/Ok_Grocery_5328 11h ago

Don't take this for granted, get out and vote.

u/i8TheLastOne_ 10h ago

Nooooo

Look in the mirror. You are the reason. In all reality, you are co-conspirators in all of his treasonous crimes.

2

u/Ok_Beautiful3931 10h ago

We need the senate too. He shouldn't get a damn thing done the next two years. I want him neutered.

2

u/caravan_for_me_ma 10h ago

This narrative is too strong in the media right now. Don't let it diminish turnout. Get yourself, a friend, and a family member to the polls. The votes have to be there. Polls are for clicks.

u/JoeNoble1973 10h ago

But…isn’t it really Biden’s fault? If you think about it??

All that power they had, and they chose to use it on enriching themselves and subjugating the people who elected them to office.

u/MrDiablerie 8h ago

They could have put a stop to the Iran quagmire but they didn’t. And here we are with $7 diesel and high inflation. They absolutely had a hand in this mess and should be held accountable

Live by the Trump, die by the Trump. They only have themselves to blame.

No complacency. VOTE BLUE!

u/hikekemorii 8h ago

They’re saying this to make everyone complacent and think we won already. Go vote

2

u/Mrrrrggggl 8h ago

I don’t know, Americans might surprise you. They did elect President Trump twice. There is also a lot of gerrymandering shenanigans.

2

u/CorporateCuster 8h ago

That’s not all.

2

u/jaynor88 8h ago

They can’t blame Trump alone.

If they had performed their Constitutional duty and represented their constituents, Trump would have been reigned in and/or removed from the presidency

Don't listen to them. They're just trying to get people not to vote. Get out there and vote Blue.

Of course …. “Privately”

Fucking cowards. Say it. “We were wrong. He’s bad at his job.”

2

u/GoatTime6188 2h ago

Stupid fuckers blaming Trump instead of the Heritage Foundation is so fucked up. Y'all pull a coup, and abdicate your duties by having the least productive Congress in HISTORY, and have the gall to blame Trump?

Fire and recall and jail all these bitches and unts

u/bonesawtheater 12h ago

Doesn’t matter unless the Senate flips too

3

u/Morethangay 12h ago

Hard disagree. Even with just the house we can get investigations going, bring light to the rampant corruption. Also, DT is old, and now he’ll be a lame duck. Anyone with any ambition or instinct for self preservation is going to start looking for the door in the hopes that they can get clear of the shitstorm of indictments.

*If we take the house this could likely be the longest and most frustrating two years in Trump’s long career of avoiding accountability.

It’s their far right policies including Krasnov that better cause a permanent collapse of the GOP

But they supported, approved or otherwise remained silent on every shitty plan the White House pushed for. It’s their agenda. Sometimes you have to own shit.

The house isn’t totally Donnie’s fault but the GOP congressmen themselves that colluded with Donnie against their constituents!!
