(25,245 posts)They all seem to be running neck and neck or with just slight leads within the margin of error. I just can't believe that the American People are that divided when it comes to this election. The Repubs are on the wrong side of just about every issue. They obstructed the President for 6 years. They don't have any constructive ideas to take us forward. Some Repub friends that I have are either not voting in Nov or they are voting for the Dems. This is what they told me. They are disenchanted with their Party and embarrassed.
I got to think that the MSM and the 1% are trying to get people to think that this race is all over and that the Repubs are going to take the Senate and maintain the House. They are trying to dissuade people from even going out to vote on Nov 4th. The more people and votes they can suppress - the better their chances.
I just can't believe the polls. We need to keep the heat on them. We need to keep on encouraging everyone we know to GOTV on Nov. 4th.
The thought occurred to me today that all the voter suppression that the Repubs are accomplishing all over the country might even bite them in the butt. I have to believe that some people that would vote Repub - might get caught up in the suppression and they would lose some votes as well.
Bottom line - the President and the Dems all around the country - from now until the election need to keep the rhetoric up of the importance of this election for the country and the need to vote Dem.

We democrats are always too cautious, and are willing to wait until everything is just right, and by then we have lost the majority., or it;s too close to the next election..and then we lose
