Senate Democratic candidates are edging out or polling neck and neck with their GOP counterparts in five competitive Senate races this cycle ā the latest indicator that Republicans are facing a tough midterm environment in even more traditionally redder areas, according to new surveys of the races.
Polling released by The New York Times and Siena University on Saturday found Democrats leading by 6 points in the Texas Senate race, 7 points in Alaska, 3 points in Ohio, down 1 point in Iowa and tied in Kansas.
Because the surveys in Ohio, Iowa and Kansas are within the margin of error ā 4.5 points in Ohio, 4.6 points in Iowa and 4.6 points in Kansas ā those races are essentially tied.
Unbelievable how this can still be a close race
āBut I love pedophilia, genocide and higher gas prices!ā - every Republican voter
āItās all worth it to own the blue haired liberals.ā
Theyāll get closer because trump will panic and start campaigning for themā¦
Currently heās doing a Hillary victory lap where heās doing rallies in places heās projected to win and ignoring everything close because his handlers know heāll hurt Republicans.
Another week or so and those poll numbers will be worse. Trump will believe he can save them, and when it hurts Republicans in those elections, trump will blame the people who tried to keep him out of it Heāll never understand if he had campaigned in those races earlier they have lost by more.
I remember how good optimism felt. I miss it.
Itās not optimism, itās whatās logically going to happen. Theyāre distracting him now by telling heās āneededā in the safe states. But weāre a month out and these articles and polls will get worse. trump isnt capable of understanding people donāt love him, theyāll never be able to keep him away from Senate races that are polling close.
We donāt live in logical times.
Life is always logical, if you donāt think it is then youāre not paying attention to the shit that mattersā¦
Just stop doing that, nothing is stopping you from using critical thinking.
LMAO! Show us how youāre not paying attention without actually saying youāre not paying attention.
I swear dude, itās like you go out of your way to be on the wrong side of everything.
Reality shows that life isnāt even remotely logical. Life doesnāt follow logical ideology any more that in follows illogical ideologies. Itās controlled chaos. Nothing more. And to think thereās reason for all rings and it works out in the end because it just has to-
Is fucking ignorance on display.

No need to respond like a boomer with belligerence following confusion
Youāre never going to make sense of anything doing that, and Iām sure as fuck never going to waste time trying to help you again.
Feel free to keep replying Iāll never see it
You need to factor in propaganda on this one, billions are spent yearly on both small scale operations and large scale projects to push rightwing propaganda to the masses with some having been inundated within it for decades at this point. Frankly thereās no real clean way of dealing with this short of pushing for policies thatād make them effectively illegal, mind you this would be rather easy right now because the steps youād have to take would also catch monopolies so thatās a win win.
Personally Iād start with radio since itās a periphery medium at this point so less care could be drummed up. Revoke the business licenses of iHeartRadio due to them being a fucking monopoly and youād probably nock out half the issues if not more in one go from there itād just be a matter of strategic deregulation and reregulation to encourage independent/pirate stations to clutter the airwaves and push out anyone whoās not them. Hobbiests would kill to just blare whatever they want and if it drowns out the local Rush Limbaugh wannabe thatās just a bonus. Basically make it so as long as they donāt take advertisement they can do whatever, donations are acceptable but they have to be small scale ones and will be checked for sources, if it has to be done create an office whoās job it is to organize payment for these stations basically creating a middleman filter so the stations arenāt financing directly.
Wealth inequality is the root cause. Fix our oligarch problem and the rest becomes plausible.
There is no war but the class war.
Not to disagree in the slightest, but there are WAY more warsā¦ butā¦ class war is primary, for sure. heh.
Oh Iād agree but this would be a first step, far easier to move things along without their mouth pieces yapping. Just consider Kirk as an example, ever since he was converted into a temporary high pressure fountain the right has lost a solid bit of steam. Mind you itās not massively notable with just one example but imagine how much more effective itād be to shut down say Dailywire or Fox.
Also the rich wouldnāt invest nearly as much materials into propaganda if they didnāt think it did something, even if it somehow turned out to not be all that notable pissing them off and switching them over to bitching about radio could pull a good bit of pressure off of some groups. In my experience the right generally has limited bandwidth so you can sometimes make them waste time on stupid shit while you deal with other things. Just an anecdote, but when I was working at Amazon I got a right-winger completely side tracked from harassing the trans girl via me yapping about trains for like 2 hours straight, he was stuck bitching about why we donāt have more train bound logistics for nearly two months and completely ignored the poor girl.
Fascism is very popular with todayās ignorant and communist youth.
āJust IMAGINE how much worse itād be with a liberal.ā
You know like how things werenāt as bad 4 years ago and we way better during the Obama admin.
But yea theyād totally make it worse despite historically, EMPIRICALLY it was better.
I donāt trust these polls and havenāt since they said Hillary was going to win.
and then youāll see endless posts defending those supporting the GOP as lovely people slightly misinformed.
Get ready to be downright disappointed or possibly distressed at the actual outcome of the midterms. Gerrymandering, racial redistricting, disinformation campaigns, propaganda networks, lawsuits for mail voting, racist state legislatures, and on and on. These are what Democrats are up against and no amount of positive polling is going to fix that shit. When you show up to vote and canāt because youāve been purged from voter registration remember the polls lol.
Oh theyāre going to flat-out cheat in broad daylight. Thereās no doubt about it. And donāt forget about the armed intimidation campaign that places fascist goons at every polling station.
Theyāll kill a small handful nationwide- enough to make people afraid to show up. And thatāll be that.
Biggest one: Citizens United and money is speech.
And when it happens, theyāll do literally nothing. Watch.
Vote.
How is it even a race? How fucking stupid are these people?
I hear rumblings of many of my previously hardcore Republican acquaintances and family that they are voting fully blue this year.
Weāll seeā¦ But Iāve never heard some of them ever even insinuate doing such a thing.
Any republicans I know will just mindlessly vote red. Itās what they do
Looks more like neck and no neck
Paxtonās resting face is of a man telling the woman he keeps in his basement to kiss his boot like she really likes it, and not to lie, or else heāll know.
from what iām reading, many MAGA nutters are shitty heās not going harder on deportations
This is always the scariest thing to me, and why I repeatedly hammer on about how dangerous the rhetoric of Musk, Joanne Rowling and others is.
Government bigotry and corruption is a dangerous threat. But their followers are even more violent and insane and are looking for any excuse to lash out.
