Democrats need to respond by making the story about why Trump killed the bipartisan immigration bill.

All true. My point is that if they’re polling current small business owners asking if she is business friendly, they might likely say no, because her plans aren’t directly friendly to their specific company.

🤣. Is there a clip of that from the TV view?

Well, one potential psychological flaw in her $50k small business tax credit is that it’s only for new small businesses to go towards startup costs.

Existing small businesses that may be struggling can look at that and only see her making it easier for their future competition to get rolling. It’s a net negative for them.

Just about the only people that are going to look at that tax credit and see how it benefits them are people that are already looking into starting a small business and the main thing holding them back is the startup costs. That’s probably not a lot of voters.

*Gerrymandering raises it’s hand.

There was (still is?) the Fair Vote Act that got introduced and immediately buried in committee for several sessions that addressed both RCV and gerrymandering. I’ve lost hope for it and stopped paying attention to it getting reintroduced.

Just another way for foreign countries to legally fund his campaign without limits. There are only so many sneakers they can “buy” before it starts to look too obvious what’s going on.

“Congressional Elections” includes The House of Representatives and The Senate.

I’m playing into their hands?!?! What the fuck am I doing that plays into their hands? What should I do that’s different? You’re not offering any solutions. You’re the one here just giving the hopeless vibes. If anyone is playing into anybody’s hands to undermine democracy, you’ll find them in the mirror. До свидания.

Doesn’t fucking matter. It’s not a perfect system, but it’s the system we have, so I WILL participate in it, and I will fight to improve it. People like you working to demoralize people out of participating in and improving the system are the enemy… foreign or domestic.

They both have the same goals

Absolutely unadulterated bullshit. You either have no clue what you’re talking about or you are a foreign operative here intentionally trying to undermine democracy. GTFO!

While I agree with you for the most part, I don’t think it could make it any worse, and it could rescue some people that aren’t brainwashed yet.

AKA, Welfare States.

This was my initial thought as well. It would be relatively easy to put up some text explaining what happened to try and undo some of the damage.

That’s a rough 30 year old.

I’d like to remind everyone that 8 years ago, the polls showed Hillary was going to trounce Trump pretty handedly. There was tons of discussion after the election about how the polls could be so wrong.

I think Fivethityeight’s explanation went something like…

If a candidate is only polling 40% to their opponents’s 60%, and you were to run the election 10 times with a different sampling of voters each time, it doesn’t mean that the candidate will lose by 60% every time. It means they’re going to win four times out of ten.

Don’t let polls lull you into either complacency or despair. The only thing polls are really good for is giving pundits something to talk about in the 24 hour news cycle. Polls don’t decide the election. Only actual votes on actual ballots that are actually submitted in time decide the election.
