told y'all them no message having democrats will blow this opportunity to take congress..
and if they fail to do so, you can count on a trump re-election.
and if they fail to do so, you can count on a trump re-election.
Republicans vote. Democrats and independents don’t.
On BGOL there is more outrage over the NFL protest bullshit then anything Trump does. Ironic because it was Trump that hijacked the reason behind the kneeling and protesting. And now got the owners to outlaw it and make anyone doing it look the villain.
Stay silent on Trump but don’t watch the NFL!
This is why there will be blue wave.

You really starting to sound sniffly..
I keep telling you that the Democrats need to give people something to vote for but you hard headed mofokrs think voting against something is enough to bring people to the poles.
Now you can say whatever you want to say about the right but the right gives their base something to vote for.....they feed their racist, misogynistic asses all the dog whistles they need to run to the poles. The promise them white AmeriKKA, they promise jobs, they promise them their place at the top and they vote for it.
And while you simple asses keep talking about Trump
Trump spelled his wifes name wrong
Trump said this
Trump said that
Congress is eliminating Dodd-Frank
Congress passed over 90 laws last year
The NFL owners are some old plantation owning mofokrs and they do what they do because they know that the 70+% of the league will do whatever they say.
Run Boy Jump Boy , Do a Dance...... and stand up and cover your heart.....
btw
gas will be 4$ a gallon soon and nobody is saying shit but if gas went up a nickel under Obama's watch it was beaten like a dead horse on the news.
but never mind that Trump called the refugees at the southern border Animals.
Most of them probably like Trump's make America white again campaign.
The Democrats did give reasons for people to vote. Stop saying that tired cliche.
1000’s of reasons were given here alone for the last 3 years. Talking about republicans policies or democrats is the same thing because it’s complete opposition of each other.
Bullshit the right gave their base something to vote for. All they did is say we will wipe out the legacy of the first Black President and illegal
immigrants. That was all republican voters needed.
The problem is still democrats/independents like you. Stop shitting on democrats because they aren’t perfect and start telling facts about what is currently happening. Meaning...talk about republicans.
In this thread Truth and Ballscout but a lot others on this board...
Constantly saying negative things about Democrats prevents people from showing up to vote when it’s really needed. Like the Atlanta governors race now.
Trump and the news. Proven to work
Ballscout, constantly say shit to me about voting Democrats no matter what but that’s exactly what republicans do and the reason they control everything. We need the numbers first.

Peace,
It’s Bernie’s fault, though.
It’s Bernie’s fault, though.
Dr. Truth...."Nothing will happen to him."
Has the Truth curse finally been broken?
.
Has the Truth curse finally been broken?
.
You act like a republican....you just march in line and say stupid shit like they aren't perfect, they move right because,..
Obama got record numbers ... why? He gave people something to vote for ......The Hope for Change
You deny that the right gave their base something to vote for because you are deaf dumb and blind.
Now you claim the Democrats gave 1000's of things to vote for.......
You want to blame somebody other than your beloved party for voter apathy and yet you ignored how the DNC slandered Keith Ellison to keep him from taking over the DNC. You fail to mention how the DCCC backed Lipinski who is a Republican by vote by a Democrat by registration even though his district is a safe liberal area.
We watch the Democrats fold on everything and the best you can say is they are not perfect.
Now every day I hear that Trump is a racist piece of shit.....I already know that so tell me something I don't know already..
Talk about what they are doing and passing and what you are going to do
And honestly, I don't give a fuck about a fag or an illegal immigrant.

Republicans Are Using An Obscure Law To Repeal Some Obama-Era Regulations
These resolutions were passed through a previously obscure process known as the Congressional Review Act, which requires only a simple majority for passage in the Senate. Because these measures can't be filibustered in the Senate, they've been an easy way for Republicans, even with only a narrow Senate majority, to reverse Obama-era regulations that hadn't yet taken effect.

More BullshitYou act like a republican....you just march in line and say stupid shit like they aren't perfect, they move right because,..
Obama got record numbers ... why? He gave people something to vote for ......The Hope for Change
You deny that the right gave their base something to vote for because you are deaf dumb and blind.
Now you claim the Democrats gave 1000's of things to vote for.......
You want to blame somebody other than your beloved party for voter apathy and yet you ignored how the DNC slandered Keith Ellison to keep him from taking over the DNC. You fail to mention how the DCCC backed Lipinski who is a Republican by vote by a Democrat by registration even though his district is a safe liberal area.
We watch the Democrats fold on everything and the best you can say is they are not perfect.
Now every day I hear that Trump is a racist piece of shit.....I already know that so tell me something I don't know already..
Talk about what they are doing and passing and what you are going to do
And honestly, I don't give a fuck about a fag or an illegal immigrant.

Republicans Are Using An Obscure Law To Repeal Some Obama-Era Regulations
These resolutions were passed through a previously obscure process known as the Congressional Review Act, which requires only a simple majority for passage in the Senate. Because these measures can't be filibustered in the Senate, they've been an easy way for Republicans, even with only a narrow Senate majority, to reverse Obama-era regulations that hadn't yet taken effect.

The reason you gave for Obama’s numbers is a catch phrase. Obama ran on opposition of the republicans.
The difference now is the fatigue from negative thing after negative said about the Democrats. How is what you do any different from Trump and the republicans....it’s not. Keep repeating it and it becomes the truth.
You are talking about primaries when the topic is general elections. Because you know you are full of shit.
Now you try to justify your fucked up thinking by saying the right gives their voters something to vote for. They don’t and your bullshit over the last three years is why republicans control all of government and soon most of the lifetime judges.
You are lock-step with Trump saying how bad democrats are. He fools the white voters and people like you discourage non white voters showing up.
The 'voting doesn't matter" crew won't comment on Trump because deep down they know their part of the reason Trump won. Their ego won't allow them to admit they were dead wrong and therefore they will make the same mistake in 2020.
Trump was the most imperfect in the history of poltics yet over 60 million still voted for him because he touched on their key issues. People on the left wanted the most extreme candidate that fit their views. CAC liberals wanted Bernie and the hotep negroes wanted Marcus Garvey. There was no middle ground with these folks...and it will be the same in 2020.
Turning up the heat on Trump: Dems say 'culture of corruption' to be focus of midterms
The party has decided to go full drain the swamp on the president's administration, after debating whether to target economic issues or alleged wrongdoing in the coming elections.

WASHINGTON — Democrats are going to make prosecuting what they called a "culture of corruption" in President Donald Trump's administration a central theme of this year's midterm elections, the party's congressional leaders signaled Monday.
"The swamp has never been more foul or more feted than under this president," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York said at a news conference on the Capitol steps.
The strategy is a bit of a departure for Democrats, who have so far focused more on advancing their own economic ideas and middle-class pocketbook agenda rather than taking on Trump.
But midterm elections have often functioned as a referendum on the president. And the strategy is acknowledgment that the opposition party may be better off swimming with the anti-Trump tide and harnessing the energy among progressives.
"The problem is that a lot of people hear that (economic) message, they agree with that message, but they're not convinced that we can actually get it done because they view Washington as captured by special interests," Rep. John Sarbanes, D-Md., who helped craft the new strategy, told NBC News.
"We realized that every other message we're putting out there needs to be accompanied by a democracy reform agenda," Sarbanes continued. "We think that that caffeinates every other message that we're delivering."
He added at the news conference: "The people know what happens when a culture of corruption takes hold. Government works for somebody else and not for them."
It's an effort to provide an overarching framework of the myriad and diverse scandals in Washington, from Scott Pruitt's Environment Protection Agency to the Trump-Russia saga, arguing that they all come back to a culture in which donors are rewarded, not voters.
Voters are already primed for that message, Democrats argue, pointing to polling that shows the public thinks Republicans are more likely to be beholden to special interests than Democrats.
On Monday, the party's leaders committed to a package of a good-government reforms and campaign finance changes to try to tap into the same populist revulsion with Washington that helped put Trump in office.
"Instead of delivering on his promise to drain the swamp, President Trump has become the swamp," said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. "Republicans in the White House and the Congress are cravingly beholden to big money interest and the American people are paying the price."

That tone was notably different from the one the two leaders struck a year ago when they laid out the first planks of their "Better Deal" messaging plan in suburban Virginia.
Trump was rarely mentioned. Instead, the focus was on giving voters a reason to vote for Democrats, and not simply against Republicans.
"Too many Americans don’t know what we stand for," Schumer said. "Not after today."
Just 27 percent of Democratic ads so far this year mention Trump, compared to 60 percent of GOP ads that mentioned President Barack Obama by this point in 2014, according to data from Kantar Media's Campaign Media Analysis Group.
Democrats are not abandoning the economic message they rolled out then, party officials say, but rather adding another layer to their overall message to voters.
Party leaders have been debating which approach to emphasize since shortly after Trump's election.
"Democrats could be poised to win landslide victories in this year's elections," Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg wrote recently in The Hill newspaper. "But they'll lose this opportunity if they don't address the economic challenges confronting their strongest supporters, who are at risk of staying home on Election Day.”
At the same time, corruption has proven to be a potent political message, especially in midterm elections. Democrats, for instance, made disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff the poster child for it ahead of their 2006 wave.
And when the country is in an anti-incumbent mood, the message is an appealing one for challengers who might otherwise struggle to be heard.
"The minority party is never going to have as big a megaphone as the sitting president of the United States," said Jesse Lee, a former Obama White House aide who is now a senior adviser at the Center for American Progress.

your entire point was invalidated when you likened the NFL, where men are paid millions to wear tight pants and run into each other, to slavery.....
i was with you with the voting thing....but the rest is bullshyt
the infighting in this thread is counter productive. people opposed to Trump and his agenda, which all of us are, want the same thing. Recognizing what Trump and the Rethugs have done and plan to do is important and dems do need to be talking about that. At the same time, there is a lot of truth in the point that giving people something to vote for, no matter how fucked up, produces turnout while simply giving them something to vote against produces apathy. If that lesson wasn't learned in the last election, which it doesn't seem like it was, then it looks grim this midterm. It's a simple equation....inspiration = turnout; fear = apathy. Dems need to find the middle ground in their messaging because simply running on fear of Trump is a proven losing strategy.
Disagree completely
Republicans ran a platform of nothing but against Obama. Repeal Obamacare while not having an alternative. They won everything.
Apathy came from Bernie vs Hillary. The platform is there and people didn’t care/don’t care.
Are you for bringing back mandatory drug sentences?
Are you for Americans having access to affordable healthcare?
Are you for legislation to end racial profiling by federal, state, and local law enforcement officials?
Would you vote for these issues? All there in 2016.
I likened the NFL more to indentured servitude. ...and the majority of that league don't make millions...
And you obviously missed the point and comparison since 70+% of the workers ate black and 0% of the owners are black and they owners don't respect the players like they have millions and treat them like servants knowing the majority of players will grin and bear it...
And that mention was in response to Watcher who attempts to imply mistreatment based on CHUMP....
Perhaps it's necessary to differentiate between Trump's 2016 platform and the republicans 2016 platform, because they weren't really the same thing. Trump gave his base a lot to vote for in clear terms. Most of it was lies and racist dogwhistling, but it was clear and it resonated with them. Bringing back coal, the border wall, another conservative Justice on the SC, locking up Hillary, and yes, repealing Obama's policies. These weren't simply "at least I'm not her" tactics, they were clear cut agenda items aimed at his base of support. He stated them loud and often. And the people those promises were meant for ate it up and showed up on election day. As far as the republicans, they weren't running against Obama in 2016, but they knew their base would jump at the chance to repeal his policies. That, again, is something to vote for. But I think it should be noted that Trump took that way further and came out the victor of all of it. Dems now are trying to run the platform the repubs did in 2016, but their base isnt the same as the GOP. They need to find some clear progressive agenda items and put them on repeat in their messaging. I'm smart enough to glean these issues from what's going on in the country and in politics, but the average voter is dumb and distracted as fuck. You're making the case better than them, and youre not running. I dont have to make the case that simply running against Trump won't work.....that case was made plain as day in 2016.
