Lawman 0 posted:1 less than post watergate lol several more than the republican revolution delegation of 1995 it's a healthy majority but not crushing. certainly not like the pre-reagan house democrats edit lol there's a chance the dems end up with exactly the same number of seats as in the 2007 congress, maybe one or two more

why is it just accepted wisdom around this forum specifically that bernie is the only person who could have a shot in 2020? why wouldnt he get ratfucked and voter suppressed ten times harder than an abrams or gillum, particularly if we're in the midst of a recession or the banks feel one coming? not to mention how one sided the corporate media coverage would be, along with a million other institutional advantages the right would bring to bear if someone as unapologetic about his version of socialism as he is came within striking distance of winning the presidency

none of the democrats you know have a chance of beating a generic republican for president in 2020. none of the democrats you know have a chance of beating donald trump for president in 2020. both trump and the gop will have to get massively more unpopular between now and then. the illusion that the economy is doing well (and for at least 75% of the country it isn't) is too strong a platform.
