b_m_b_m_b_m Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 You know who else is turning out in droves? All the fucking people who voted Democrat last year. And a whole hell of a lot of that was sheer hatred of this racist trash of a president. They won combined house of rep state votes in PA,WI,MI and several statewide races. For God's sake Texas and Georgia are redish-leaning purple as well. And this past midterm had some of the highest turnout in a long time, and next year will be similar. There is no centrism with this president. He's made it very clear if you're not his base, he doesn't give a shit about you at all. Moderation with him is ignoring the racism, sexism, and everything else that would get you fired from literally every other job in this country while you hope that nothing happens medically to your family while voting for someone who says they'll make your in network deductible 7% lower for the next year (don't talk out of network though!)

CitizenVectron Posted July 31, 2019 Author Share Posted July 31, 2019 If the turnout in 2020 is anything like 2018, then the Democrats win the Presidency easily, keep the House, and have a decent (but probably not even) shot of taking the Senate.

Pretty much this, the GOP base showed up and then some in 2018, still got crushed by 9 points nationally, and polls show interest in this election is at levels usually seen days before the actual vote day.

Jason Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 The real danger for the Democrats is suppressing the turnout of their own base by refusing to do what a lot of the blue wave feels they elected the Democrats to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were elected to vote on kitchen table issues that will die in the Senate, not to vote on impeachment that will die in the Senate. Literally the only meaningful thing they're actually accomplished was by being there and stopping even more legislative nonsense from the right.

Signifyin(g)Monkey Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 A majority of House Democrats now support impeachment. Sounds like Pelosi wants to keep the investigations going while not moving into full-on impeachment, while folks like Cummings are hoping to goad Trump into doing something like disobeying a court order, which will give them more political cover to go after him.
