    So polls have tightened a good amount the past month. The bounce Democrats got post-Roe decision has seemingly faded. Democrats still have about a 50-50 shot of keeping the Senate but are big underdogs to win the House. Gas prices are declining again so that might boost Democrats poll numbers a tad bit leading up to Election Day. Not sure if that will make much of a difference at this point though.

    Voted last week. Pretty nervous about the GA elections — I've gotten a """voter guide""" in the mail from the "Faith & Freedom Coalition" that's clearly designed to trick old people into thinking it's some sort of official state communication. And this is the only thing resembling a voter guide I've ever gotten here.

    In Washington they always sent registered voters a voting guide with every candidate's party, campaign statement, credentials, etc and I was shocked that they don't do that everywhere, seems like a no-brainer to me.

    From PA and voting Fetterman and Shapiro over no exceptions on abortion extremist grifters Oz and Mastriano

    Not fawning over Fetterman and Shapiro. I give em a C+ and C as candidates, respectively. Much better than the other two options though.

    Missed early voting so I gotta wait in the dreaded election day line.

    I plan to vote for Beto, but not because I support that flip-flopping assclown. Abbott needs to be voted the f--- out of office.
    • The power grid failure
    • Response to Uvalde
    • Abortion laws
    • Rejecting medical cannabis (when Texas has been hit very hard by the Opioid Epidemic)
    • Border fearmongering
    The list goes on. h---, I'm very pro second amendment, but I'm not a fan of the permitless carry law that passed. Not to mention Dan Patrick is an evangelical whacko. Dude made a crusade out of keeping liquor stores closed on Sunday.

    Only other race I plan to vote in is county judge.

    Wonder how much money the democrats are paying Obama for all those speeches and commercials suddenly. The party must feel shook. I’m not sure if it should be legal, because of the Obama trolls and exaggerations on everything I’ve heard him talk about. Like when they killed a brother of Bin Laden, claimed that was the real bin laden. Even though Laden died in 2001. And provided zero proof it was actually him. Right before an election too. Real shady.

    So you aren’t denying they never really killed the real bin laden? Thanks for agreeing. Also heard like 4-5 different stories from multiple people who claimed to be apart of that mission. Very inconsistent stories.

    Bin Laden was captured/killed on May 2nd 2011. Which wasn't near any US election.

    It was a closure for 9/11... but they help Obama or the Democrats at all... the Republicans still called Obama a "secret Muslim" and had conspiracy theories that he was going to bring Sharia Law to America.

    Now after Saudi Arabia and Qutar gave billions of dollars to Trump... the Republicans aren't even Islamaphobic any more. The Republicans just hate Americans now.

    No he wasn’t. Where’s the proof? I even had a history teacher claim he died in 2001. How’s this not near any election when it was the big 2012 election only over a year later? And the Obama admin had to mention them falsely killing Bin Laden, in every speech. Is your memory going that bad, already?


    Lol no it wasn’t. Bush used 9/11 to invade the Middle East to carry out his fathers agenda. Bin Laden had nothing to do with it. Most of the pilots were from Saudi Arabia, facts.

    That Republican rant makes no sense. I never heard of anyone saying Obama was bringing Sharia Law to America. Maybe some terrible trolls just making up lies, that fooled you.

    I'm sorry you and your teachers are stupid.

    Osama bin Laden released video messages until May of 2011.

    Then he was shot in front of his family and thrown into the ocean. You cam ask his youngest kids.

    Obama was the only Presidential candidate in 2008 to promise to go into Pakistan to acquire high level Al Qaeda targets.

    Bin Laden was originally from Saudi Arabia... he had nothing to do with Iraq except for 9/11 getting all you dumb people to fall behind Bush43 and being racist against Middle-Easteners.

    His source is from Wikipedia that anyone can edit info to lol You would believe anything the government tells you, uneducated sheep. I was in early grade school when Bush wanted war dumbass, I wasn’t paying attention to presidents then. The government can make those bin laden videos in Hollywood for f---s sake.

    Great night for Democrats:
    -Lose < 30 seats in the House
    -Keep a slim 50-50 majority in the Senate

    Decent night for Democrats:
    -Lose <40 seats in the House
    -Lose Senate by slim margin 51-49

    Bloodbath night for Democrats:
    -Lose >40 seats in the House
    -Lose Senate by 53-47 margin

    These are the most realistic scenarios for tonight imo.
