I think there is enough desire amongst democrats that they will go vote. With the worry that trump will get a 2nd term is scary enough, but if he does get a 2nd term I know he is going to try to be president for life, or in other words, king.
In 2016, the reason to vote FOR was putrid, and the reason to vote AGAINST was unclear. This time at least one of those has changed and in 2020 hopefully both will.
Whichever side you’re on, all we have to judge by is what other people tell us, and we all know you can’t trust a politician or a reporter. They all adjust their stories to suit their own bias.
Both major parties have been disintegrating for some time. The Republicans are losing their base to the right, as evidenced by the rise of the Tea Party in the last decade (the original modern ‘resistance’ to an overreaching central authority); the Democrats losing theirs to the left, (their decline exacerbated by the destructive narcissism of both Obama and Hillary). Trump is basically a right wing populist whose surprise electoral victory was made possible by this decline of the two major parties.
Don’t understand voter registration, in Canada the Federal Election branch prepares a list based on tax information and you go an vote in your riding. We don’t have the spectacle or primaries and we can never have a leader that doesn’t have the confidence of the nation. The party in power chooses the Prime Minister and that can change during the length of the mandate. So by our rules, if the Democrats get control of the house, they would choose a leader. Plus the idea that upper and lower houses create individual legislation and then spend forever making them compatible. No mid term, everything up for grabs every four years or so, and multi-party system
People ae fed up with the leftists. The big turnout that matters is the independents and they have had it with the mobs, the race baiting, the lies, the socialism. They like Trump, what he is doing and want him to have more support. So do I. Go republicans, you are often just democrat-lite these days, but at least you dont hate America and Americans. Leftists and the modern Dems do.

So what is the comparison between 2014 and 2010?

I have speculated before that Prickly City is done by a ghost writer.
Compare today’s Prickly City and today’s Scott Stantis and tell me what you think.

Wait a sec, even with low turn out by the Dems, Hilary still got more than half the popular vote?
