there is a fundamental misunderstanding of what a wave is out there
given the above, there is no way a wave can be guaranteed or that chances for one are diminishing. we just don't know yet.
If all the close races break one way, the pundits will profess surprise.

Then write a piece about how they saw it coming.

That, at least, I am sure of.
in any case:
Q +7 thehill.com/homenews/campa…
NBC +10 nbcnews.com/politics/first…
Civiqs +7 civiqs.com/results/vote_h…
meanwhile the averages have jumped from ~ 3 to ~6 (RCP, 538, you pick) with the addition of some recent polls.

Fact is , D's loath trump, are enthused to vote, oppose his agenda and care about the rule of law.

Cue the 'what do they stand for' pieces.
bottom line: it's a check on Trump, stupid. Ask the women.

Donald Trump has already disgraced himself. More the half the public already gets that. Of the partisans that don't, some will come around with time and evidence. Some will never come around. But the noise and distraction from the WH won't change any of that.
This isn't about respect for the Trump base or lack of same. It's about respect for institutions, norms and the rule of law. Those are shared values. In the ned, they will win out.
There's a long road between now and then , though, so buckle up because this will get very ugly. Those in power will fight tooth and nail to preserve that power. Their tools already include lying. Hence Mueller.

Hope it ends soon/fin

One of the Oracle's broad crystalline surfaces shimmered, and the useless translator cheerily displayed "LAUGH" on the small screen.
"Have you ever considered the cosmology of a goldfish?" came the voice from nowhere, in that perfectly human neutral voice. Showoff.
The Foundation spent millions and years building software to translate those iridescent flashes, trying to unlock the Oracle's knowledge. And then the first time it replied, it did so in fluent spoken English.
"Go ask the greatest scientist of a Goldfish: What is the universe?"
"The goldfish will happily tell you what any schoolchild knows: The universe is a sphere, 30 fins centimeters across. It's bounded by The Barrier, which is full of lights that change over time. Every 12 cycles, food rains down from above."

One of my favorite things about cats is how they set goals for themselves and then engage in sheer bloody-minded stubbornness but because they're cats it's also sneaky and circuitous, but like, not COMPETENT.
When I was in Vacationland with my parents at the house they rent there every year, my sister brought her cat with her to his Country Estate.
And in the central room of the house is this old stone fireplace with, y'know, the stones sort of sticking out of the cement they're embedded in. And on either side of the fireplace, about 8 inches below the ceiling, was a small, shallow shelf.

Focus of the Day, and all the other days to come until 11/6, shall be on #GOTV, #VoteBlue, #PaperBallots, #AbsenteeBallots, election integrity and voting rights.

If youre reading this, you are the #Resistance.

A thread.

Voting Integrity
Dont trust #GOP voting machines. 1]
The majority of voting machines are Trojan Horses owned by the #GOPTreasonCult. They have a backdoor built in, so theyre easily accessible by hackers to manipulate the votes cast.

One way around them is a paper ballot. How to get one by 11/6? 2]
👇
#AbsenteeBallot #VoteEarly
Know your voting rights. Heres what I found on this website 👉 ballotpedia.org. Info is available for any state there. Go there and check for your state.
To start you off, look at the breakdown of candidates from both parties running for Congress. 3] #VoteBlue

One of the fundamental features of Liberalism of any kind is a belief in the idea of "Progress" - the idea that today is always better than yesterday. And tomorrow will be better than today.

But what is the problem with this idea? (Contd..)
A belief in progress also means that certain ideas are rendered obsolete.

i.e...

If you believe in progress, then you also have to believe that certain ideas or modes of behavior are superior to others.
And this implies you have to necessarily develop a contempt for people who hold on to those obsolete ideas / ways of thinking.

I'm at Water's Edge Brewery in Lake Ridge, Virginia tonight. Six of the seven VA House of Delegates seats here are held by Republicans. Tonight, that may change wildly.
Those seats in Prince William County, Virginia's second most populous, are a test of the anti-Trump grassroots movements spurred on by the Democratic party and progressive groups.
Of 8 groups, like @MoveOn, @BoldProgressive and @TheDLCC, that made endorsements in VA House races, 41% of their endorsements came to six Democrats challenging Republican incumbents in this county.
