Election Analysis

The nothing that Biden has accomplished is too far to the left and that scared the white Virginia people.  So now he needs to be mean to AOC in public and accomplish even more nothing, so Democrats can run on nothing in the mid-terms and win by not being scary leftists.    Put me on TV!  I can do this.    #winning 

Republicans Do GOTV 24/7/365 – Democrats Do GOTV on Election Day

For the GOP, everything is "Get out the Vote" .  Every lying facebook post, all the dumb anti-mask rallies,  and every policy decision.  It is all about getting the base fired up.  Republicans never say "but we might lose some moderate Republicans" because they know the moderates will come along. What choice do they have? Democrats dither, delay and debate.  Democrats think the base will come along, because what choice do they have?  Democrats can't acknowledge the base because they would push them off their message of obsequious unending compromise.   Also we nominate wishy-washy centrist who couldn't put together an inspiring message if all the pieces were numbered and came with IKEA directions.  It makes us bad at the pace and volume of modern politics.  The Trumper won in Virginia and is close in New Jersey.  Good news for Trump.

Is this really MORE Dem friendly than the old 6th? But my biggest question is why all the anti-Mitch energy? I mean, I gave him tons of shit and called him a "genuine Ralph Abernathy" when he was being the mouthpiece for the LGBTQ pac that had the gall to support Mike Ramone - but that shit was richly deserved. In hind site, Mitch himself would probably admit that. (Also, after all that shit, they didn't do it twice.) Other than that incident, I've found him to be a decent, honest, hard working Democrat.
