    I hope we do because I could swear I kept hearing the consensus was that we would barely have any possible seats to gain in the midterms and the best we could hope for was not having a greater R majority :(

      Because since 2016 the DNC has only cared about the president and not down ballot races…

      The states we gave up on weren’t impossible to win, they were just impossible to win after the DNC Victory Fund took all their donations and left them penniless.

      Like, if I told you 100 of your neighbors will starve to death, that sounds depressing as fuck. If you then found out they were starving because I raised grocery prices even though unsold food was thrown away, these higher prices make me an extra 10kna year

      You shouldn’t just be mad your neighbors are gonna starve…

      You should be absolutely irrate at me for causing the problem and pretending there is nothing anyone can do except be sad.

      I feel like that’s a pretty apt analogy for what the DNC has been doing to any state that didn’t do exactly what they said including removing their primary delegates.

      Shits been a lot worse than most people realize. So it’s going to be very easy to retake a lot of ground. Just by the DNC not acting like fucking idiots for the first time in a decade. And Obama’s 8 years the DNC was basically non-existent. Because I stead of fixing the DNC, Obama just fucking ignored it.
