Showing up on Election Day will make a difference, but that’s too obvious to have to point out, but the apathy that has settled in on people eligible to vote in other the general every four years is another hurdle… This assumes there are no more 14 states with voter suppression in place as there was in November 2016.
@imkmu3 This backbencher from New York is in a video “promising” a constituent who told him of her treatment for cancer he’d support her and the inference was he would vote “No.” He voted “yes” instead. His Twitter account is exploding
He has 2,617 Twitter followers. As of publishing this post, more than 3,000 people had tweeted replies to Faso condemning his support and urging him to change his stance.
This all sounds great accept for the fact that the same folks we are counting on to vote the republican out put the yellow haired shit gibbon in the White House. I have zero faith in those idiots.
Elections do not go to the party that feels good about their chances of winning. Democrats must raise money, recruit very good candidates and cultivate the grass roots extensively from now until November 2018
Seppuku (切腹, “cutting [the] abdomen/belly”, formal on reading of original Kanji), sometimes metathesized as harakiri (腹切り, “abdomen/belly cutting”) which is a native Japanese kun reading, is a form of Japanese ritual suicide by disembowelment. It was originally reserved for samurai.

It has now been extended to include Republican congressmen who are willing to sacrifice their own careers so other Republicans in safe districts can give each other high fives with the President.
If a big finale of “The Bachelor” or “Dancing with the Stars” is on election day 2018, then we are screwed. After all, Dem voters have their priorities.

• The broadest measure of unemployment, which includes people who are working part time or have dropped out of the labor market, was down sharply, to 8.6 percent, from 8.9 percent.
You can guarantee that Dumblefuck, the media, and every GOP politician will be taking credit for improving on “the horrible obama economy” (which we know isn’t true, but they have no problem lying through their teeth) and flogging these numbers constantly.
Except seppuku is a deliberate act in order to preserve one’s honor. What the GOP just did was from sheer stupidity to maintain their egos after they got their asses kicked last time.
In 3 months people will forget about this and the odds will move back to the GOP. That’s why the GOP wanted to vote for this now, they know the average attention span is 3 months or less. For their Redneck supporters a matter of seconds.
