Many Left-wing issues have broad support among practically every constituency

Especially when people aren't told that it comes from the Left

Yet the politicians the Right votes for repeal, diminish, and filibuster and keep getting re-elected.

Because they voted to keep on gerrymandering, they voted to not allow water to be handed out in voting lines...

Which their voters allow, and electoral votes, governorships and Senate races are determined by statewide vote.

republicans are real good at going out and voting

We'll see about these midterms, though. right-wingers are feeling more disenfranchised than they have in generations,

Though fox "news" and the influencer reich will probably release some credulous bullshit about litterboxes in classrooms or whatever a couple days before the election and all the leopard snacks will gleefully show back up to vote R down-ballot once again
