(#5393) What a difference a day makes

      All I seemed to hear yesterday was how one single flawed ny times poll had shaken the confidence of too many democrats on my Facebook page. Well after last night's blue wave elections in many key states, the nervous nellies need not be so unsure. Except for a couple of non wins in deeply red states democrats pulled off all the important victories. The one loss we took in Mississippi in the Governor's race was not all that surprising since the democrat was against abortion. Which he should have known better than to strategize against a popular women's health care issue.
     Otherwise the outcomes were very encouraging and add to the analysis that a blue wave is still riding high against a republican party that at best supports insurrection and at worst would see democracy abolished. I don't care how much the wealthy influence polling because like we hear all the time, the only polling that counts is the vote on election day. It is still only November 2023 so the there is plenty of time for the wealthy to rig some more polling to scare democrats if they are able. But those of us who know better just laugh at their attempts and keep highlighting instead the insanity of republicans keeping power without doing anything for those who vote for them. Instead we democrats work for the betterment of all of us.
     Ohio was a prime example last night. That red state that could not be construed as a democratic stronghold beat down a republican attempt to ban abortion. Instead, by a substantial vote, abortion is now inscribed into the Ohio state constitution as a right. As well by an equal beat down Ohioans legalized marijuana as a recreational drug. Both of these issues were heavily attacked by republicans in the red state of Ohio and both passed with overwhelming majorities. A reckoning is coming for republican not only in several red states but all over our nation we the people have had about enough of their callous condescension toward us.
