Complacency Kills

“While a significant part of that lack of intensity is undoubtedly due to these voters’ sentiments toward the President, it may also be partly because they don’t believe there is anything at stake in this election,” the authors write. “Put simply, they don’t believe that Democrats will win the House. (Why should they believe the same prognosticators who told them that Hillary was going to be elected President?)" [More]
It is true that many scoff at the "blue wave" as a DNC and media fiction. I'm sure it's being strategically used to demoralize and discourage turnout, but it's still a threat that must be met as if lives hang in the balance -- because they do. What is (intentionally) being left out is Trump agenda supporters being sick and damned tired of Republican sellouts and turncoats that have overtly fought or quietly subverted what they voted for two years ago.

And besides, we can always anonymously type "Molon Labe" and ignore the reality that just one vote can make a huge difference.
