Current metrics says big Democratic 2018 win, Do not believe it

Over the last few months, many were sure that the Blue Wave was inevitable. As the election got closer, my concern was that poor messaging would make the Blue Wave nothing more than a Blue Ripple.  The Democratic Party is notorious for pulling defeat out of sure victories.

They only way to defeat them now is to show up to vote in massive numbers. They've rigged it so a small turnout is easy to steal.

And yes, ever since the 2nd W election Ohio flip in few seconds while votes were flowing through a server in TN I have truly believed they are stealing the elections. They are manipulating the actual vote counts.

I'm voting by mail as soon as final ballots are released, just in case I get hit by a bus or am otherwise detained on November 6th.

Takes a special kind to write “The Democratic Party is notorious for pulling defeat out of sure victories“ on DU without even a shred of self-awareness.

We'll generate the turnout, despite your naysaying. I won't go read your blog, though, so I'm just going by your teaser here. Good luck to you in your endeavors...
