Im really wonder why?
They have pissed away every chance to gain womens support?
They wont let anything to be done about gun violence and gun control?
They support Trump in one way or another?
They wont help migrants?
Oh so many more issues I can think of, but these alone are the biggest problems for the GOBers.
If we dont get out and vote, then their momentum is evident.? So we need to band together and vote then it will be a mute conversation.

(4,845 posts)Then magically, the whole story disappeared days after the midterm. But that's what they accused us of our concerns for COVID back in 2020.
The whole DeSantis stunt is basically this. He couldn't send those migrants months ago. As if that problem just exploded yesterday.

(30,702 posts)I remember Ronald Reagan campaigning for the presidential nomination on the platform of not giving back the Panama Canal. What did that ever amount to?

(50,773 posts)the news with reports that they are going to institute a federal abortion ban, jail women who have abortions, and dismantle SS and Medicare?
THOSE things are TRUE!

(58,785 posts)If they did nothing else (they do), just claiming that one party was likely to win or had more enthusiastic voters would swing a bunch of votes that way. But they'll be giving big air time to the scare themes, especially immigration, from now through election day.

(58,785 posts)Giving the canal to Panama also cost us our chance to hear how tRump would have used it to block the invading hoards from South America. He would have wanted the crocodiles kept hungry no doubt.

(4,845 posts)Someone "feels" GOP are gaining momentum and somehow we should be worried.

(1,552 posts)But I thought at first you were making a post. Just wasn't sure of the right verb.

(13,584 posts)If so, you seem to be treating that poster's feeling as fact.
I'm curious as to why you started a new thread to respond, rather addressing it in the original. Your prerogative, but responding in the original thread would have the advantage of letting your readers know what the heck you're referring to.

(13,668 posts)I am saying we have to get out and vote to take any momentum away from the GOBers. Period.

(91,943 posts)midterms. They didn't consider Roe or all the other issues, and I believe what may not be factored in is that there may be republican women cross over votes who have had it with the anti-women stance of the republican party.
I also think that they are assuming the young will not vote, based on past elections, and that will be a factor because with climate change on the table, the young will come out.
We will see, but at this point in time I don't think anything can be taken for granted, and the polls in general cannot be trusted

(5,540 posts)Inflation isn't going down because our monetary policy is still so out of whack. Too much money created, most of it by the Fed's asset purchasing program.
The bussing and flying immigrants to blue areas is hurting us. It's making us look like hypocrites - with the scramble and difficulty handling even small groups. IMO, our approach to undocumented immigrants needs some adjustments.

(110,950 posts)Yes, the Democratic Party is very inclusive. That turns off a lot of voters. But Democrats need to convince them that there are some things that are a lot worse. It's about what kind of country do you want? Do you want equality for everyone or just some people? How much tyranny are you willing to accept? There is a price for liberty and voters should be acutely aware the direction they are going.
