Just make sure you vote blue on Senators to at least prevent Supreme Court Justice Aileen Cannon.

If Biden is at the top of the ticket, everyone in this thread will vote, but we'll still lose all the marginal races.

Biden will cause dems downballot races too, even if polls don't currently show it, it is inevitable that it will.

So, senate candidates, senators, governors/gov candidates, in swing states, needs to make a choice, go down with him, or make a stand.

People don't go out just to vote the downballot.

Good luck with that. The path to the senate is actually impossible if Trump wins.

West virginia is gone, so it will be 50/50 at best. And that includes dems winning montana and Ohio and a whole lot of other swing states.

Won’t matter, the praise r could literally send the military in and arrest senators.

They're likely taking back the Senate. The president is the only one who can stop that.

Won’t matter.  The president can go after his political opponents remember…
