It is disappointing for so called Democratic pundits forecasting losing Congress.

That absolutely does not help. They need to have more posititivity instead of doom and gloom. I have to wonder if they are really supporting Democrats.

Watching MSNBC they have two on. Especially this guy from Justice Democrats.

20. If only the DNC would get out front,

sorry the present leader is too meek. Be a James Carville and slam them.

28. The pragmative Clinton/Carville team did make calculated slams. Seemed to work.

Biden, however, is working on a razor thin Congressional voting edge.

Biden's 'weakness', imho, comes from the 2 disparate wings of the Democratic party, exploiting their respective/unrespectful, edge.

When the nation's voters were tuning in more to the 2021 November election season, they saw a President whose opportunistic Dem wings were on national news every night, refusing to back his policies - seemed like the President couldn't get his own Party on board, [which no President in that situation could].

The news covers conflicts. So nightly, there was one wing with their aggressive view, the opposing wing seeing aggressive disaster for the party, the republicons, also reflexively opposing. [DNC does not make much national news].

Ugh. That November negaive theme, seems to plague Biden to this day.

3. That talk increases campaign donations to RNC

and GOP pacs.

4. On other hand, doesn't look good if a pundit totally misses election results when polls seem clear.

If we aren't smart enough to GOTV when it looks bad, we have serious issues.

7. Honestly, it's not worth watching. Save your sanity

If Democratic journalists would do the hard work, they could have an impact. They should be more eloquent than the average voter. They should be more informed than the average voter. They could offer viewers food for thought and perhaps affect the decisions of those who want to learn. Instead, they banter like a bunch of people at a bar or a bunch of armchair quarterbacks watching a football game.

8. Justice Democrats does not have an interest in Democrats winning...

...they have an interest in THEIR style of Democrats replacing mainstream Democrats in safe Democratic seats.

Beyond that, you haven't mention WHO the pundits you've heard are, and what specifically they've said.

FWIW: People who are saying the Democrats are at risk of losing (which they are) aren't discouraging people from voting, because the average voter doesn't listen to pundits on cable news show or in social media. The people who DO listen are going to vote anyway, but perhaps need to be encouraged to work harder on getting Democrats elected by giving them a realistic view of the political landscape.

12. They always do this.. it's what they do..

I for one do Not listen to anything they say about anything.

And, whomever has them on their show is only enabling the Doom & Gloom. And, helping the magats.

I'd rather listen to someone like Nancy Pelosi who was invaluable help in Winning us back the House 2018... and the moderates in Swing States who turned red seats BLUE.

     So MSNBC IS in the tank for the Democrats. How odd - we keep being told, derisively, that Fox News is the propaganda arm of the Republican Party, and is not "real" journalism.

     I wonder if they ever notice when the mask slips. Let me say that differently: I wonder if they ever PERCEIVE that their masks are slipping. They are not, of course, wearing masks.

1. Asking MSM folks, "Whose side are you on?" was inadvertently honest.

2. This is the kind of "reasoning" by which the person pulling the fire alarm is blamed for the fire.

3. Keep swimming in that Egyptian River. You may reach the Aswan dam in early November this year.
