I am willing to bet the Dems will trip over their own dick and fuck it all up. We need leaders to challenge the right wing using their own tactics. Us going ‘high’ hasn’t changed a goddamned thing. Go on offense for once you wine sipping rich fuck wads
Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory is a time honored Democratic tradition.
You have to wonder if it’s deliberate at some point.
I’d love to see this as a trend for 2024 but the international anti-democracy propaganda ecosystem that gets ramped up for major US elections every two years doesn’t get ramped up for one-off special elections. By the time November of 2024 rolls around there will have been a months long tsunami of bullshit overflowing with stories of migrant caravans, crime waves, open borders, and the Democratic Party having satanic furry orgies with underage chimeras. And the credulous, semi-functioning smooth brains will believe it all and go vote for the GOP like they’re told.

… a very good year for [Democrats] in 2024
Only if issues around voter rights are taken seriously. The Republicans are doing everything possible to disenfranchise people in purple states.
Good, keep it rolling. Vote every chance you get.
Exactly this. We’ve been horribly burned by this trap before. You have to assume that every poll is wrong, and every trend is about to end. You have to always act as if your candidate is going to lose unless YOU do everything you can do to help them win.

Good for the Democrats.
What makes an election special?
It’s an election called to fill one specific post.
For example, if finestien or mcconnel were to step down, their respective states would temporarily appoint a person to fill the gap while a special election was called.
This is apposed to the general election that has “everything” on it.
When it happens outside the normal election period (usually determined by state or county law) because a vacancy needed to be filled or a referendum was called.
