Tomorrow's elections (#3370)

     The special elections in Arizona and New York state tomorrow is another opportunity for the blue wave to show its strength. Especially the all important congressional race in Arizona. Another red district in a red state that went for trump by over 12% points. That lead has been all but erased and is actually a 1% point deficit for the republican candidate as of 2 days ago. The reversing nature of this particular Arizona race is indicative of the rising democratic hopes and the sinking republican arrogance. The republican party did this to themselves by alienating the largest voting block in America, the working middle poor class.
     So if things go according to the recent past democrats will win this congressional district by at least a few percentage points and the republican party will further fail to hold on to their tenuous grip of majorities in Congress. The races in New York are the backbone races of our country as they are the back bench races that fill our ever growing roster of competent and intelligent democratic candidates into the next level of leadership. We must continue to take back our state houses from an overwhelming republican dominance and it starts with every special election going forward until the next midterm election and beyond. America needs its working middle poor class as the majority representatives of our values and vision for the future.
     It is incumbent upon all of us voters to get out and vote wherever there is a special election so that the current crop of republican office holders learn to understand that they have made a grave error and as such will pay dearly in the voting booth. I always get a bit anxious the day before these crucial special elections but as has been shown in the recent past my anxiety is not well founded. We democrats have come out and voted and independents have crossed over to our side. With such a determined voting electorate on the liberal side recently showing up at the polls tomorrow may well be a day of upsets as democrats sweep into new public offices but also upsets in the sense that republicans will be upset to see that they are being crushed under the mighty power of the blue wave.
