Ever wonder why mass/school shooting spike on or right before an election year? Dems gain a 5% voting increase.

shh, its just a cohencidence
Im not really following at all. Since elections are held at the end of the year it would make much for sense for it to happen in an election year.
Every 2 years is an election year. School shootings happen every year.
Your list isn't even consistent at all with what you're saying
Dems we’re afraid they’d have to run on fiscal issues instead of culture war.
Dems will have a great environment to run in November:
>abortion illegal
>school shootings
>summer chimp outs when a thug doing something stupid gets gunned down (coming soon)
All these things are great for them.
noo why don't you vote for me I just want to continue murdering children in peace
This doesn’t prove anything.
Going off of memory here the dates with an * were not an election year but if IIRC were right before when campaigns start forming.
As you can see the majority of mass/school shootings that gained national attention took place during midterm/presidential election years.
in this case study they did by county. Given that the 23 congressional district where Uvalde is based out of it +1 Republican and Dems are set in turning Texas purple. granted this was only 5min quick research here its not much of a stretch of the imagination here to upticks and heavy coverage on districts where they need want to flip.
Bump
Same rules don't apply after Summer of 2020.
Are there close senate or house races in NY or TX this year?
>on or right before an election year?
Every year in the US is on or right before election as you have elections every two years.
There's a fucking school shooting every year you schizo.
for TX-23 congressional where Uvalde is located its R +1 so yes. Texas senate elections are in 2024. TX state senate and governor elections are this year.
For NY- 26 it is D+10 with solid Dem for Senate according to Ballotpedia
>the party that is campaigning on an issue gains more votes when the issue is more prominent
Shit, that polisci degree is really paying in dividends.
Next you're going to tell me that gun sales rise sharply when the "threat" of gun control restrictions are proposed.
Not all school/mass shootings get insane national coverage like the ones I highlighted. Like I said previously its interesting how national coverage radically increases during an election cycle when Dems stand to gain 5% voter share.
one doesnt have the ability to control policy. Its one thing to schizo post without hard numbers but here it is. it not hard to see collusion when they can expect numbers that push them over the winning line.
How about you use some statistical data to prove your point, this is just feels posting
Im sorry you have an underdeveloped sense of intuition. Ok sensor
I'm still never voting for democrats if that gives you an idea of where this user sits OP.
>Next you're going to tell me that gun sales rise sharply when the "threat" of gun control restrictions are proposed.
how the hell do you know this user? are you CEO at Big Black Rifle™??
Oh yes....threats to gun rights really helped Democrats carry Virginia last gubernatorial race.
*sarc
Where in this post have I mentioned or even implied gun rights? Wrong script shill
