Can anything be gleaned about midterms from content on this board?

So you’re basing midterms on upvotes/downvotes, specifically downvotes showing that republicans will lose elections around the country based upon a LSU message board? What a model!

did i make prognostication about the midterms? I asked a question if anything think this is an indicator of how the midterms will end up?

I see wayyyyy more upvotes on Anti Trump posts than I ever saw before and I wonder if this is an indicator that Republicans will get wiped out in the midterms?

That would be wishful thinking.

Congressional elections are local elections and do not cleanly follow national trends. The trend for or against a candidate has to be a local trend. It is very difficult to remove incumbent congresspeople because local people are already used to voting for them.

Also, the republicans have spent several years redrawing maps to consolidate voting power and splitting areas where republicans are less popular to dilute opposition voting power. Changing the maps will have an impact.

Anyone who expects a democratic landslide this year or in the next cycle is engaging in magical thinking.

Bit of an echo chamber? This place is like Reddit and Democratic Underground

This board has a better track record for predicting things than any other place I’ve seen, honestly. We knew that Trump was gonna win this election big last time, just like we know that the GOP is gonna win this election in the midterms

No. This board largely subscribes to the lie that elections are real so pretty much everyone is not getting it

what?

Trump has his lowest approval rating ever and people are fed up with his lies and nonsense.

Don't read too much into anything on this board. As you correctly surmised , it's something of an echo chamber. But in terms of the election. The whole focus is on the Senate with too much attention focusing on Texas and little focus on other races that makes whatever happens in Texas irrelevant.

North Carolina is just as important and it looks like Cooper is going to wipe out the Republican

ME , Iowa, Alaska, Ohio and Kansas don't look good right now either despite what many on the board think. There's not some sort of invisible empire staying quiet right now. Most of the Democrats will win by 1.5 -2% spread. In Texas I would be surprised if Paxton loses but he keeps trying real hard to do so. In Michigan, I'm at a loss at how Al Sayed is running ahead, but he's also a relentless campaigner and that counts for something. It may come down to who wants it more.

But Kansas is the race to look at. Marshall started out comfortably but has been degrading weekly / daily. He's not terribly liked as a person and he's something of an absentee candidate.....he actually lives in FL most of the time and the Democrats are hammering that along wit the fact that he was very very lax in paying his campaign staff from 2020.
