I feel sorry for the people in Virginia who will suffer, but the "loss" shows what can happen if "you" don't go vote.
Losing a tie by drawing may boost turnout more than any ad, campaign, or other device.
If you don't vote, your party can win by 10 points, and still not be in control.
Democrats need to overcome massive obstacles to take back our country from the deplorable traitors.
This is just one more reason to get off your couch.
Drive on.
Take back our government.
Don't rest until we succeed.
Start by signing up every single person you know regardless.
The....... it's good to suffer so you learn your lesson argument?

(37,748 posts)What specifically leads you to believe this particular loss will engender greater voting numbers over other close losses/win?
"Losing a tie by drawing may boost turnout more than any ad, campaign, or other device?
Is that merely another bumper sticker, or will you supply objective data to support the premise?
