Poll: Democratic voters are more engaged than Republicans

Democratic voters are more engaged in the 2018 midterm elections than Republican voters, according to a new George Washington University Politics poll.

Forty-six percent of Democrats polled said they used social media to share an opinion, while 37 percent of Republicans said they do the same.

Forty-two percent of Democrats said they had spoken to people about how to vote, while 33 percent of Republicans said they too had spoken with people on the subject.

The poll also found that Democratic voters were more active in campaign activities such as attending rallies, displaying campaign merchandise, and making donations.

GOTV is the ONLY thing that matters...the numbers have to be enormous to ensure that no BS and chicanery (like say, 79,000 votes across 3 states) can shift the outcomes...

It should be a mantra right now....GOTV...

For anyone who saw John Oliver's take on Cryptocurrency a while back, it should sound like this:

#GottaVote
#GottaVote

To the tune of:

#HODLGANG

Let's make this a thing...

What they are doing to brown immigrates is truly horrible. Where are the evangelists? Praising t-rump as the second coming. They are sick.

Pre-existing conditions, healthcare, CHIP, SNAP, HUD, education. Where are the evangelist? Praising t-rump as the savior.

Income stagnat, but cost for everything is going up. Tax cuts, tax bill only for the super rich. Evangelist - GAWD choose t-rump to lead. Even the pardon nut case is doing a doc about how t-rump compares to Lincoln. Geezus, these people are sick.

Destroying our relationship with democracy countries for dictator countries. Sick.

Thats to name a few terrible things. So yeah, vote them out!
