60% chance Dems take the House @zakattack04
lmao @🎃Boo-ton🎃 @FLanon Alan Grayson was my House Rep back when I was 13 years old, still living in Orlando
Alan Grayson's daughter later went to my friends' and cousins' high school
@🎃Boo-ton🎃 I'm feeling 80%
I think this is her
Just because of how history
half Filipino, half Ashkenazi Jewish
The average swing for the 1st midterm is 32 seats for the Minority Party
With healthcare being the top priority of independents
Victory is near impossible
I think Trump will pull enthusiasm through the roof when it's time
but he'll do so using a government shutdown
so it'll be risky as hell
@Nuke Trump has mentioned that winning the 2018 midterms is important for him
and he's smart enough to know that invading Syria et al would fuck that up
which is why I'm not as worried as so many of the people in this Discord are
obviousyl, we all have our doubts and questions. The thing is, Trump knows certain facts as President that we don't. That's why while I still have my doubts/concerns, I think we'll pull through
also, Trump watches FOX News, and Tucker Carlson himself is talking about this
I doubt using a government shutdown will boost only Republican enthusiasm lol
It's going to boost Democrats too
And since Healthcare is the #1 priority... That's the biggest problem
The independents decide elections and they want that free healthcare!
what makes you think independents want free healthcare instead of Obamacare being repealed
Alan Grayson was a good guy
Dem, but one of the only good ones
I liked seeing him roast Bernanke
@Deleted User some like only 20% of all voters want it repealed, the massive majority just wants it changed
(Which means Democrats won again)
But still
I don't think it leans to "free healthcare" specifically
They most likely want more public run healthcare
They want lower costs
That's it.
Which they think is single payer
Because the media has lied to them as always
Look at how popular single payer is. It's actually terrifying
Well, the Rs are going to need to advocate for ways to increase efficiency in the system and explain the costs of this system in the US and why it wouldn't work unlike in Europe.
It doesn't even work in Europe lol
