honestly having the House and Senate in a two-year pointless slap fight would be better than actual lawmaking from that collective clownshow.

Woke up and took it all in

Basically it went exactly as we anticipated, but we were expecting (and honestly, needed) more than that. Beto and Gillum losing really stings considering how major of a turnaround it would have been for Texas and Florida. Walker out is fantastic but, like, come on guys it's been 8 years why did it take this long.

Democrats lose a bunch of succ but likely learn loving nothing from it. We get a narrow hold on the House. Flip several governors, not sure about state legislatures, flip a good amount of attorneys general.

Marijuana apparently got approved/passed almost everywhere except North Dakota. Wisconsin marijuana referendra passed by ridiculous margins considering how the rest of the vote went (in Brown County it passed 75-25, yet we voted for Gallagher over Liegeois 65-35)

Got a bunch of women in office - good. Got a bunch of young leftists in office -- also good.

The next major fight is keeping Pelosi the gently caress away from Speaker of the House. If we can throw her out and replace her with someone good then the next two years have potential to be less awful than the past two years. After that the Democrats have to reconfigure their identity and completely loving stop it with the bipartisanship and go full aggro against the Republicans. If they can do that then things set up well into 2020, if not we're just going to see a repeat of 2016 and 2018

On the Republican side of things, everyone should be bracing for voter suppression and electoral fraud to intensify. Kemp's poo poo in Georgia is a loving preview. And looking at how Trump's rhetoric has escalated over the past month, also brace for the Fascism to get worse and worse

Looked into results some more

Dems picked up six trifectas. ME, NV, NM, NY (lol Cuomo), CO, IL, for a total of 14 fully-Democrat-controlled states

We also broke four Republican trifectas in Kansas, Michigian, NH, and WI. A hair away from breaking FL, loving DeSantis

How much is the typical power bill for a ~1500 sqf house in FL, is it still like $300 in the summer unless you're insulated to the gills and keep the thermostat at 82?

Pelosi is probably gonna put a lot of resources into getting to be speaker right, because that means she gets to be President if Pence and Trump are out?

These accusations are weak from a person who exhibits loads of NPD symptoms while accusing Ellison of NPD and claiming she has tapes but refusing to show them to anyone, even her attorney

It will be wasted resources because impeachment is not going to happen, much less consecutively impeaching, convicting, and removing two executives

Seriously. Gillum didn't even wait until the election was over before he flipped to the center lmao.

And almost none of the others on that list were even progressive to begin with.

Yes...Ha ha ha...YES!



ellison's accuser successfully pushed to have his divorce records made public, which revealed that there was domestic violence in his marriage...except it was from his ex and he never retaliated. combine that with her going back on there being a tape, and then going back on there not being a tape but refusing to show anyone, and yeah, it increasingly sounds like a load of bullshit.
