(1,957 posts)Where do these people get credibility.
They break down the poll by district and then say that indicates that democrats are in trouble in that district.
No sh!t. My district was gerrymandered long ago and hasn't elected a democrat since then. To extrapolate this into a national "trend" is where the bullsh!t comes in. This poll result looks a lot like the distribution in the HOR.
Duh.
Overlay this result with the map of critters in safe districts and what do we see?
How about they ignore all the results from any safe districts and treat the others like what they really are...swing.
Secondly, don't you ever say that if we gotv in my district we'll swing the thing... the only way this district will switch is if we do voter id and get rid of any gop voters. No wait...the Indiana legislature already did that the other way.
The "primary" in most local and national districts in this state are very conservatives against batsh!t crazy conservatives.
Now if you want to start changing these trends, getting people out to vote the way they would usually vote doesn't do a f'in thing. NOTHING!
We need some education in this state and I'm NOT talking about door-to-door. All that does is upset the neighbors. There's a reason for no soliciting signs and a lot of people consider religion and politics to be soliciting.
How about the democrats do an information campaign. Just what the f' do we stand for? Make the gop argue against women's rights. Make that fat-assed bigot face an informed wife...not a barefoot pregnant one.
You know, maybe a democratic platform? One we put out before the popularity contest? Maybe one we can use to judge OUR candidates?
Stop it.
