Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

You are absolutely insane:
Where the hell are you seeing the GOP winning anything? Even their own party is saying it's going to be an absolute wipeout.
I saw a lot of people say this exact fucking line the LAST TWO GODDAMN TIMES TRUMP WON.
We need to stop making assumptions and start looking at factual reality.
Polling is all over the place but polling can't be trusted worth a shit. Best advice is don't be comfortable, be nervous, vote. Some folks clearly need fear as a motivator
Just the gerrymandering issue alone is a huge setback. Then you factor in the dominion voting systems sale to a trump donor. It's gunna be a wild ride at least.
The Gerrymandering has effectively been shut down by Prop 50 being so popular in CA. Indiana isn't moving on theirs, Missouri looks like it's going to be shutdown, Ohio can't move...etc...etc. These corrupt morons have only JUST learned what gerrymandering will actually do in their states, and they have no path to making any of this work anywhere but TX it seems, and CA has neutered that bullshit.
I hope you're right. But I am remaining pessimistic, as this country is rightly fucked.
Not one damn single thing you mentioned matters when it's quite literally TRUMP'S people in charge of every aspect of voting; from the voting machines themselves, to the oversight of the polling locations. He's spent every second of the last year making sure of that.
I'm happy you're optimistic. God knows we can use some of that in the world today. But damn, man...don't be naive.
