And I don't think I said that, by the way.
I didn't even know their Republican resgined in scandal.
Anthony was all over the place, on every news station being talked about.
We suppressed their votes hard.
This is just an effect which happens after resignations, the incumbent party is always depressed.
That didn't happen in AZ-08
He wasn't near as paraded as Anthony was
It doesn't dismiss this effect
It minimizes it as an excuse
In my own district back in '06, the congressman turned out to be a pedophile and a dem came in and swept the seat
The truth is the 17-20 point swing has been the average.
Regardless of the X factors.
I think I read that on Washington Post.
That changed recently
With that average they're going to have themself like 80 seats
Oh it did?
We had districts go 2 points left and 4 points left
Last night
Ok so lets take the hundreds of special elections
And take the two new ones into account
@🎃Boo-ton🎃 by the way, how did those other districts last night swing?
Probably still going to be 15+
The thing is there's new factors that are coming up
Maybe we are just kicking the can down the road. Everytime we lose I see this discord try to blame it on something out of our control.
"Allegations, the enemy was a Conservative Democrat, the opponent looked better, the opposition party has better turnout."
Those hundreds of special elections happened before this whole issue with Korea's come up
All these excuses are still going to be prevalent in the midterms anyway
Maybe it's time we realize our policy's aren't near as popular as we need them to be.
maybe we need to compromise.
Leave
*sigh*
That has no place here
I'm just suggesting a way to victory.
Hi just suggesting a way to victory., I'm Dad!
@zakattack04 Conor Lamb said that he would strictly oppose Single Payer
"Everytime we lose I see this discord try to blame it on something out of our control.
"Allegations, the enemy was a Conservative Democrat, the opponent looked better, the opposition party has better turnout.""
...
@Walter Johnson Well that's good.
those are valid explanations
So i'm a bit skeptical of your argemnet that its "very popular"
@Deleted User Every single one of them is still going to happen in 2018 though.
