Again: don’t get complacent. Polls look great, but polls don’t vote. Ignore this shit and vote like we’re down by 3%

I understand the push to get people to vote in elections, regardless of where they are. But, how many non voting, they're all the same, I don't care types, are on Bluesky following politics ? Not knocking efforts, but it's convincing, them, to vote that counts, and they aren't reading any of this.

Already voted. Democrat down the whole ticket. Where I could voted to raise taxes on wealthy. Where I could fund more education, I did that. Happy to pay more taxes for more educated populace. Education is the greatest weapon we can wield against this army of ignorance on the right.

I don't even look at the polls. I vote Dem, I encourage voting Dem. I ignore the polls ~~ it helps me not to worry about others being complacent because of the polls. 😁👉🔵

American voters did this in 24. Either believed it was win and stayed home or wanted the perfect so stayed home & didn’t vote for the good. Look WTF you got yourselves and the rest of us. Just fkn VOTE!!!!! The rest of the world is watching and you are hurting my grandkids.

They push polls to make money and make people complacent. Don’t do a Brexit. It happened because voters got complacent. The lies too.

When even Fox News shifts a significant number of House ratings in Democrats’ favor, it is a reminder that every district deserves a serious look. These are ratings, not final results, but the changes make the upcoming election worth watching closely.

They shifted, but the interpretation that they were in Democrats' favor is mistaken. Lots of them are still going Republican, just not as strongly. Elections are zero sum, sure, but they also have winners and losers. If you didn't win, you lost.

I do, however, use polls to target my political contributions where they have the most chance to flip a seat. Like … I wouldn’t donate to Roy Cooper; I’d donate to Turek, Peltola, Hamilton or Jackson.

Indeed, history is littered with candidates who were winning comfortably right up until the voters had the audacity to disagree. Polls measure opinions. Elections count decisions. Confuse the two at your peril.

2024 is a perfect example, no matter how you feel about what happened. No one can sit this out. It's the single most important job we have right now. Our votes have to be too big to rig.

If Dems win big next month, Trump WILL throw a tantrum. The results may be shocking and disastrous. What we are about to witness may relegate the violent attack of Jan. 6, 2021 on the U.S. Capitol, its police force, and members of the U.S. Congress to a mere side note in the history of our downfall.

I am so ready to vote on November 3rd I just might be first in line I don’t care if it’s 30 below zero or if I break both my legs…I will be there! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Lets not be too comfortable & know that its imperative to vote in huge numbers. VOTE BLUE DOWN BALLOT‼️ HELP OTHERS TO REGISTER AND GET TO THE POLLS‼️ DELIVER YOUR BALLOT TO A SECURE LOCATION IF YOU CAN OR VOTE AT THE POLL‼️ VOTE SMART AND BE READY TO WORK THRU OBSTACLES‼️ MAKE NOV 3RD YOUR PRIORITY‼️

Already voted & confirmed it’s been counted though I vote in a district that is deep deep blue. Which is stupid because I haven’t lived there for 3 decades give Expats 2 senators and 6 congressional reps!

Or vote like you’re TEN points down! Or better yet, vote like your life, your relatives’ & neighbors’ lives, & potentially even your ability to ever get a vote/say in such matters depends on it, because it very likely does!

The only way the polls are right, is if we MAKE them right. Everyone needs to #VOTE 💙....and no one can sit on the sidelines this time. The votes need to be overwhelming. #VoteRepublicansOut

When I learn someone doesn’t vote, I reply that they made a choice not to discuss politics or any complaints about what’s happening. I shut them down with “ you made your choice “ I on the other hand am not phone banking.

Seen this forever in the UK..."No point in me voting because the borough is always Conservative" etc. Last General Election, we got rid of the useless piece of lettuce Liz Truss in an area that had been Conservative for 60 years. The Labour majority was 630 votes - so every vote matters!!!

Our Std reply is supposed to be “Tell me more about that”… which has NEVER led to them saying “why YES now I will vote” at least not for me… It usually is “I don’t believe in Government” or “Nothing ever changes” mostly they just hang up. They are the least likely to engage.

I don't trust it. It is NOT a blue wave folks.DO SOMETHING MORE THAN JUST VOTE.DO SOMETHING NOW> DONATE,volunteer,convert.DO anything you can to short circuit the repugnantcans at their own cheating.

Complacency is what got us where we are. I’m still convinced that the number one reason Kamala lost was a matter of people really believing that he could never win in 2024 because of Jan 6. There was other stuff too but that was the number one cause.

This country is fucking stupid and elon cheating the machines in November 2024 notwithstanding, 75 million people still voted for tangerine palpatine and 83 million stupid fucking people sat on their asses and didnt vote. Polls dont mean shit and i have no hope in this country to fix a damn thing.

2/. Recurring themes of this political ideology include neo-nationalism, social conservatism, economic nationalism, and fiscal conservatism. Frequently, they aim to defend a national culture, identity, and economy against perceived attacks by outsiders.

3/. Some right-wing populist parties/movements have associations w/elements of authoritarianism while some far-right populists draw comparisons to fascism. Right-wing populism is sometimes associated w/ideologies such as anti-environmentalism, anti-globalisation,nativism & protectionism

4/ In Europe, the term is often describes groups, politicians/political parties generally known for their opposition to immigration...Some right-wing populists may support expanding the welfare state, but only for those they deem fit to receive it.

2/ The entire interview is about statistics and the plan to dismantle our democracy. What Koppel SHOULD ask, and every journalist should ask...is what will the country look like if your White Nationalists/Populists win? UNDERSTAND....we will have no say nor power over the government. THIS IS SERIOUS

Tom Suozzi has been on a helluva journey. Resign seat for unsuccessful bid to primary Hochul. Get replaced by Santos. Replace Santos/Return to seat in special election after George resigned.

Just want to point out that NY-21, Stefanik's former seat that she won by 24 points last election, is now neck and neck, with just a couple points between

I have a feeling he's going to try something goofy with Texas if it's close. He can't handle being that wrong! I see him seizing ballots and coming up with a different outcome. Talk me down...

Dems got complacent in 2016. Being disrespectful of "flyover" country, like we don't vote in the Midwest, WI in particular, was just plain stupid. Complacency kills. So does, "vote for us or else"--take note Dems. It ain't work'n of tiny hands this cycle. It won't work for you the next.

Since they only listen to FOX, maybe they’ll start to understand they are LOSING. They get told they’re winning by their President and RW media, and then scream voter fraud when they don’t!!🤦‍♀️

I think it might be too late to save America. I never thought I'd live to see over $40 trillion in national debt. We paid over $1.2 trillion in interest last year, and every dime we paid was borrowed. How long can that go on? American Treasuries are junk bonds if people faced the truth.
