More about GOP pollsters gaming the polling averages. They want Democrats to think the election is a lost cause and stay home. Don’t let it work. #VoteBlueIn2022
I’m making the full article available as a subscriber’s gift so that anyone who wants to read it can. nytimes.com/2022/11/05/ups…
“This simple poll average is like many others you might have seen over the years. It weights the most recent polls more heavily.
Some people are on the fence on their midterm votes because, while the loss of women’s, workers’, and LGBTQ rights kind of stinks, they are more worried about prices. If that is you, have you heard any actual plan the GOP has to remedy this?

It’s easy enough to yell “Prices! Economy! Very bad things!” But the GOP answer to your economic pain is to let companies do what they want (other than support diversity), cut Social Security and Medicare, and cut taxes for the rich. None of this helps you.
Americans face different battles, different struggles, different challenges. That’s part of why our democracy exists, part of why we depend on it. Democrats want your voice to be heard; republicans want dark money and gerrymandering to ensure their richest donors carry the day.
STATEMENT from #WhiteHouse PLEASE read!>>Congressional Republicans have laid out their mega MAGA trickle-down economic plan clearly. Their economic plan will raise costs and make inflation worse. Their five part plan includes:

$3 trillion in tax cuts skewed to the wealthy – which would add to the deficit and make inflation worse 2/24 #RepublicansAreHarmfulToAmericans #VoteBlueIn2022
“GOP wants to push to extend Trump tax cuts… Republican lawmakers gear up to push 2017 tax law after midterm elections, despite potential impact on inflation.” Washington Post 10/17/22 #RepublicansAreTheProblem #VoteBlueIn2022
“I often call this war one of the dumbest and most absurd wars in human history.” kyivindependent.com/opinion/illia-…
“Indeed, in all seriousness, the leadership of the world's largest country thought Ukraine would just fall into their hands.
“They lied so much that they believed their lies.
Let's talk about inflation and why Dems should be messaging it HARD 🧵
Wealthy corporations with monopoly power are jacking up their prices, and their profits are going through the roof. Big oil, food, shipping, health care, and real estate companies have been making record profits over the last two years. R's have no plan.
Drug prices & health insurance premiums are going to go down because of the Inflation Reduction Act. Dems want to do even more to lower costs, but the Republicans want to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act, while having no plan of their own.

Social Security is financed through a dedicated payroll tax. Employers and employees each pay 6.2 percent of wages up to the taxable maximum of $147,000 (in 2022), while the self-employed pay 12.4 percent.

There is no argument that can be made from a legal standpoint to force the elimination of #RoeVsWade. The SCOTUS ignored the science and blindly spoke only of "right to privacy". This right IS of importance and nullifying it for political means goes beyond Abortion. But I digress

3/ It’s also easier to fool people into thinking the Democrats are purposely or incompetently messing things up if your audience doesn’t know how civics works. The GOP & enemy countries have massive & effective propaganda networks to turn public opinion.

🇺🇸 You heard me right: DEMOCRATS
🇺🇸 Hear me out:
🇺🇸 In poll after poll, the president's approvals have been dropping off because more and more Democrats are disappointed in his performance.
🇺🇸 Lately, about 75% of Democrats approve of the job he's doing, down from 95% at the start of his presidency.

First, Republican candidates are traditionally very well-founded. It makes sense for Democrats to accept campaign money from anyone who'll give it.
Second, any money a "Republican" donor gives to a Democrat is money they didn't give to a Republican, and that's a Good Thing.

Third, assume "Republican" donors give money to politicians who'll support their interests. The only reason to give money to Dems is if they think Republicans aren't going to be in charge. If they thought Republicans would run the Senate in 2024, they wouldn't fund Dems.

Rick Scott and the Republicans are raving lunatics. They want to get rid of social security and Medicare. That will make a huge quantity of elderly people who live in society homeless but just about every single person who lives in a nursing home countrywide lives there due to
Medicare/medicaid and social security. So, if you stop paying for these elderly people, in some cases, don't even get out of bed, what are they planning on doing with them? And then you have every person who works for these nursing homes, from the administrator to the
Housekeepers who will lose their jobs. Yes, there are jobs available but you have some people who have worked as CNAs and nurses all of their lives. Are they now supposed to go work at McDonald's getting paid minimum wage? They are literally about to create a huge majority of
