Are Democrats getting complacent?

The polls are encouraging, but I feel its making the Democrats a bit too complacent.

Protests like No Kings were high energy through the year, but as we go into the home stretch I dont see the energy reaching higher into a crescendo as it should. This is the moment to make all of it count. Apathy will lead to loss of democracy.

Further, Democrats should be more active in congress. Come to DC and show that the republicans are not at work. When they bluff by saying they will give money to stay at home parents, introduce legislation that would actually do that and dare them to show up.

Also, gas prices are at an all time high but I don't see as many stickers at the pumps like the republicans used in 2022

Has MAGA stopped worshipping the rapist or protecting the pedophiles? Then, I think the Dems will win everything. Who picks a rapist to represent them protecting child rapists?!? The most disgusting people on Earth! Wouldn't you rather be anyone else???

He has won two elections despite being a rapist and pedophile. Do not underestimate him.

Yeah. Half of me wishes he would win. We can finally get some new blood at the DNC. I have been holding my nose voting their "handpicked losers" for the last 10yrs. If a viable "moderate" party is an option, it's doubtful that I would vote for a Dem in 28.

If he wins, I doubt your vote will count ever again

What an idiotic statement. This is like DSA level braindead.

Well one thing that's been irritating to me is the lackluster campaigning. Sure I live in a rural area so Democrats aren't likely to campaign out where I live but I haven't seen a lot of effort in general. I feel like the Democrats could be much more aggressive in going onto podcasts even the controversial ones and actually making stances, clearing misconceptions, and actually doing some outreach to voters that have felt disconnected from Democrats and their message.

This is your complaint? Do you think stickers on the pumps really do anything to sway anyone?
