    I don't get "condescending" from most of them. "Frustrated, wordy, dodging" is what comes to mind. As Brummie said, they're not all the same.
    But some seem to think the rest of us think they're dicks.

    They're not dicks.

    Son of a b***h... I missed a VERY important "Not" in my post. I've updated the post to add that "not" in.

    Is there something that Dems need to deprioritize to get your vote on the regular?

    In my experience, the answer is Yes, but often they don't think that is what they are doing. They tend to be happier with numbers than social cues.

    Sure.. Let's say I was being sarcastic and not a moron by forgetting a "not".

    It's not that they were going to vote for a Democrat.. It's that it kept them motivated to vote for Trump.

    It seems strange to be having this discussion when this very week, trollbots combined with right wing stooges and media to discredit the FBI

    i.e. the usual attempts to destroy US institutions and discredit the Mueller revelations

    I don't know what the impact on voting is - but it surely is not zero

    Dems HAVE my vote on the regular. I didn't like Hillary because she was uniquely bad as a candidate. On issues from marijuana legalization, criminal sentencing reform, police abuse, voting rights, etc., Democrats have always appealed more to me than Republicans.

    Which is why a lot of this Russian influence won't be a problem going forward. No Hillary. All Dems have to do is keep a coalition together long enough to get Donnie out of office.

    But they're NOT motivated to vote for the GOP in 2017 and 2018 thus far. Whatever motivated those Republicans to vote in 2016 isn't working much now. That despite the alleged Republican "advantage" in midterms and specials.
