I tend to vote for as much disruption as possible. Having grown up learning how to use the card catalog; watching it become obsolete in the information age; and witnessing how the circle jerk between "the expert class," the bureaucracy, and the media, actually fabricate the public opinion required to create and implement policy; I just vote to break the framework by any means necessary.

Interesting, but she's applying data masques to vote totals and extrapolating conclusions. I don't know how valid they are.

This is what happens, when you discount George Washington's warning about a 2 Party Albatross.

Hyperpartisanism of a magnitude that can never see a nation United again politically... Which has been the goal of Communists and their retarded cousins Socialists since before Little Niki Khrushchev.

She may be right about the composition of the swing vote but as she says, “she just selling her own version of shit” and it’s ignoring all the “current issues”.

“Had she avoided trying to push her “covert ideological” agenda she might have had some credibility.”

Trying to use this as justification for a left swing vote is just non-secateur and illogical. This is simply more leftists PhD diatribe designed to influence left wing media who have no credibly left.

“She sees anyone in the top tier, or even the second tier of candidates, as strong enough to win back most of the Trump states in the industrial Midwest, stealing a march in the South in places like North Carolina and Florida, and even competing in traditional red states like Georgia, Texas and Arizona. The Democrats are likely to pick up seats again in the House, she says, pegging the total at nine pickups in Texas alone, and have a decent chance of taking back the Senate.“

She makes some good points, but fails to take into consideration some of the most important issues. First, I believe the republicans lost seats in the congress because they failed to prove their worth. They kept saying, "we have to bide our time" until they had both the houses and still did nothing. We were sick and tired of them spending all their effort and our tax dollars to just hold their job in congress. We saw 8 years of an impotent congress, an activist Judiciary, and a treacherous Executive branch. We gave them the Executive branch, and majorities in both houses of congress they said they needed, yet they still did nothing. Now that we had made it clear we wanted the swamp cleared out, they were proving they were the swamp monsters.

President Trump did the right thing in sacrificing the HoR, while keeping the Senate. This may be their last time to pull their heads out of their proverbial butts. They need to not only start doing their job, but do it with all the energy they can muster. They need to prove they have learned it's not about them, but about those they are supposed to represent. Then they need to pull all stops and make it known what they have done for their constituents. It's true, most people are ignorant about what is going on in DC. We pay them to do the work and report back to us their results.

Thoughts?

Yeah, there are no swing voters anymore. The Democrats scared them away to Republican and Independent side. With all their CRAZY sheet they have done for the last 3 years...
But, I guess you could possible go further and look at the Democrat controlled cities: Detroit for instance: To see them go from a powerhouse to a sheethole is very sad to see.
