To be fair, a "wave" did come, from both sides, is roughly equal size. It is true that Democrats are much more riled up and likely to vote. It is also true that Republicans are riled up and more likely to vote. Both those things can coexist. The only issue is that it's more the sound wave where two inverted waves cancel each other.

- nerdponx 6y agoI wish! Republicans will pay back their loyal fringe. Democrats will pay lip service to their disloyal skeptical fringe and pay back centrist elites instead.
- ehsankia 6y agoWell there's no big wave so in that sense, they did cancel each other out, hence as you say ending up with "a narrow win". The whole point of a wave is that it's a decisive win, which it wasn't.
