....they are going to have to vote against the Republicans for the House and the Senate. That is the only way we are going to get change at this time.
No matter how much you might love your Republican Senator, you are going to have to send them home.
If you feel it is necessary that the country change direction, then you must vote against the Republicans on the ballot.
They are the roadblock. They are the reason our country is on the highway to hell.
However difficult it may be for you, if you love this country, then you must vote against the Republicans on the ballot.
No matter if you think they are the better person, they have not shown the ability to make the change that is necessary.

Sadly, that even includes some registered Democrats who blame their Representatives and Senators for doing nothing when we dont hold majorities in either chamber of Congress.

And really, if you want change, quit electing people who do nothing but blame other folks for their constituents' problems. Instead of explaining why it's someone else's fault, tell me how you plan to fix the problem!

(5,377 posts)a lot of people are starting to GET that---
It isn't really necessary for us to get many of the 39 percent who still support Trump nationally according to polls--- although a very few of them may vote for Democrats, we are much more likely to benefit from that group by the number of disillusioned supporters who just STAY HOME! Trump has a very bad record of failing to turn out his base, when he himself is not on the ballot---- but this year, they have even LESS motivation to turn out and vote, when he has broken so many promises and ignored their priority of inflation and the economy...!
What is REALLY going to kill them this year, is that the overwhelming majority of independent voters are turning away from the Republicans in big numbers, and they are nearly as angry as the Democrats! AND, Democratic "enthusiasm" to vote in the upcoming mid-term elections is about 10 percentage points higher than that of Republicans, according to recent polls I have read.... Party base "turnout" numbers will be on OUR side this time, as opposed to 2024....
