The reason that it appears the mid-terms are tied

[Blaster]

The Democrats are not fighting back like I think they should.

All the Democrats have is abortion rights and climate change as their issues. Not a winning formula.

Again, we'll see. The GOP has gone from being a heavy favorite to take the Senate to what you described as a "toss up". Why? Cue the blame game....

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Democrats are pinning all their hopes on abortion rights as their big issue. That's all they got.

It is a bigger issue than most realize as it is not just about abortions but what other rights might be taken away....same sex marriage or even the free use of birth control...both of which are being targeted by the GOP and were brought up by Thomas in the RvW ruling.

The GOP was never a heavy favorite to take the Senate.

A very small issue to voters.

No, that's NOT the reason they are behind in the polls and in danger of becoming the first party in a long time NOT to make any gains during the opposing President's first midterm.
It's because Republicans, after almost 5 decades, they have NOTHING. No fresh policy initiatives, no new ideas, no plans to do ANYTHING to help the working voter.
They have sunk into the black hole of culture wars, division, and conspiracy theories. The majority of voters see Republicans for the whack jobs they've become.

THAT's why they're behind in the polls.

Trump helped the workers quite a bit. He also had lots of new ideas.

Under Trump, Americans Have Seen Their Best Wage Growth In 40 Years

Then how do you explain Trump's attempt to overturn the outcome of the election?

Seems like they did attack democracy by trying to eliminate our votes for Biden.

They didn’t attempt to overturn the election. They wanted to delay the certification until the Democrats‘ shady methods were reviewed in court.

How do you explain how leftists tried to eliminate Republican votes by halting the count in FIVE swing states, simultaneously and trucking in tens of thousands of the votes they harvested once they knew exactly how many they needed?

 

[Lisa558]

And if it doesn't go your way...you'll screen voter fraud, right?

And if it doesn’t go your way, you’ll make up some Russian conspiracy hoax to oust the duly elected president, and have the loser fund the operation?

You people are a bunch of damn hypocrites.

 

[Lisa558]

Just the place where laws are passed, right?

Because a couple hundred our of the thousands of protestors let their frustration boil over doesn’t mean Republicans attack democracy any more than it means that Democrats are arsonists and murderers because thousands of them went on a summer-long rampage burning down government buildings and killing people.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Only small issues to the far right that wants to control everyone's lives.

None of these things happened anywhere but in your

Do you deny that the Trump DOJ indicted numerous Russians for interfering in the 2016 US Presidential Election?

Do you deny that the GOP controlled US Senate confirmed the findings of the Trump DOJ?

You people are a bunch of damn hypocrites.

Are you going to keep pretending that you have a graduate degree?

So what do you think it meant that a bunch of the supporters of the loser in an election tried to stop the certification of the election results--injuring 140 cops in the process?

Ummmmmmmmmm, what you said isn't even true.

 

[Lisa558]

In terms of election fraud, what has changed since the last election?

1) We no longer are in a pandemic and there is no excuse for mail-in ballots, although I’m aware the Dems are continuing to use them in an attempt to harvest ballots again.

2) Republicans will be on high alert to make sure the Dem counters don’t cheat.

3) The scumbags will not be able to get away with halting the count in all the swing states.

The only thing controlling everyone's lives is the Socialist agenda of the Biden administration.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

The only thing controlling everyone's lives is the Socialist agenda of the Biden administration.

That is a thing I agree, but it is no worse than the control you on the "right" want to have/does have.

Both sides want to control our lives, they only differ on which aspects of if you all want to control

1. Mail in ballots exited long before the pandemic

2. as they always are.

3. Which never happened

The difference between the two parties is small government versus big government although there are a few republicans that trumpet big government too.

The GOP has not been small government since the days of Coolidge. They talk about it during the campaigns, but they do not govern that way. Even the Republican saint Reagan was not small government
