If they can count on say getting an extra few % knocked off of the 54% D vote through voter suppression, knocking D voters off of voter rolls. Another few percent who's votes will never count as they live in a highly gerrymandered district. And another few percent whose votes are flipped via Republican owned voting machines.

We have to have such overwhelming odds. So many D voters out that no amount of cheating will suffice.

I remember Don the Con screaming in 2016 that if they lost it was rigged. And they were behind before they stole it.
Fuck this shit about pretending Dems are behind. GOTV and scream out loud about being energized.

Accepting heartening news is NOT an error. Of course we must keep working, calling, canvassing and voting! But last week as the Republicans tried to sell the country on the idea that our opposition to Kavanaugh was backfiring felt deflating. I, for one, am pleased by this news, but not one iota disinclined to continue working to GOTV.

People want to vote for a winner, so they would be more likely to be a part of a blue wave. People that are convinced their side will lose stay home.

They predicted a massive win for Mrs. Clinton. The final days of her campaign reflected this optimism. imo

If we want to send a message. We need overwhelming margins in every state possible.

I think a lot of them are going to stay home and not vote. Combine that with a record turnout for the Dem candidates, and we've got a BLUE TSUNAMI!
