With no real chance of winning... there will be a number of how many people voted for Democrats vs how many people voted for Republicans, the popular vote.
Imagine Democrats take back at least one chamber (Which looks likely) and there is also a blowout popular vote-wise.
It can be seen as a symbolic rejection of the MAGA agenda.
You can be a part of that rejection of the social experiment with nationalism even if your particular candidate doesn't win or would win without your vote.

(7,142 posts)Your point is only valid if the corporate controlled M$M pushes it, and trust me, it won't. Trump and his cult must be repudiated, bigly, and they will be. I don't want a 3-2 walk off victory in the 9th inning, I want a 13-1 shellacking where the outcome was never in doubt. Only with that kind of a blue tsunami victory will the corporate media push your narrative.
I live in a 4 to 1 Republican area of Pa. and I can't wait to vote. Maybe my Democratic Representative candidate will not win, but we are also voting for Senator and governor and other state wide offices.
PEOPLE, IF YOU LIVE IN A DEEP RED REPUBLICAN DISTRICT, LIKE I DO, ALL THE MORE REASON TO GET OUT THERE AND VOTE. BE POSITIVE, DON'T LISTEN TO THE POLLS AND POLITICAL PUNDITS BECAUSE UNLIKELY VOTERS AND REPUBLICAN VOTERS VOTING DEMOCRATIC ARE GOING TO MAKE THIS A BLUE TSUNAMI ELECTION.
KARMA IS COMING, DON'T PUT ANY DROP OF NEGATIVITY INTO THE UNIVERSE. LET THE INVESTIGATIVE COMMITTEES BEGIN IN JANUARY. DONALD TRUMP COME ON DOWN YOUR TIME HAS COME, YOU SHOULD NEVER HAVE RUN FOR PRESIDENT, YOUR LIFE IS GOING TO BE MISERABLE.

(That's my sociology training speaking, we get symbolic capital on top of what I hope will be a Democratic majority, we use it as a frickin bat against the right wing)

There may be a potential Democratic candidate thinking of running in the future...if the numbers show enough Democrats voting so he has a chance. If you don't vote, s/he won't know that you might vote for him/her in the future. It's the ONLY WAY for Democratic candidates to know how many hearts and minds are with them in a particular district.

(7,142 posts)Donald Trump is scared shitless about this election. It is why he is campaigning every damn day in deep red areas of the country, he needs his binkie.
Nate Silver even admits that we may see many unexpected results this election. This is not a normal election, it is about choosing democracy or fascism.
Let me repeat this again, the blue tsunami is coming. The pundits and polls cannot account for 2 main situations;
1. Unlikely voters are not polled, but unlikely voters are going to break big for Democrats.
2. Registered Republicans are going to vote for Democrats, I call it the Nicole Wallace, Steve Schmidt effect.
People, can you hear it? Can you hear the roar of the wave? Karma is coming too, do not put a drop of negativity into the universe, karma increases the size of the wave.
I can't wait to vote tomorrow. Make America America Again.

(13,305 posts)..The fact that we haven't seen any Democratic politicians, pundits, candidates, etc. pounding home this basic, irrefutable fact (o.k. yes I know that the fantasy land Republicans can refute anything with bullshit) over and over and over again.
MORE PEOPLE VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS THAN REPUBLICANS IN THIS COUNTRY.

That's it. The numbers bear it out. And the numbers need to keep bearing it out until the media HAS to report this because it is so completely absurd and obvious.
