 I know the mid-term election was a long time ago. but I put together a graph showing how it fits into some historical patterns in the senate vote, and why it represents a change. The senatorial vote goes on a 12-year pattern. That is because there is three different senate classes, with one third-of them up for election every two years, and then with the added cycle of whether it was a presidential election. Class 1, who had a mid-term election in 2018, were up during a general election in 2012, and last had mid-term elections in 2006. Of the Senatorial classes, one of them, Class 2, by chance is mostly from states with smaller populations, which also tends to be more conservative. Mid-term elections have lower turnouts. The years with Class 2 senators lining up with mid-terms are the troughs on the chart: 1990, 2002, and 2014. The most active years are years where Senatorial Class 1 and 3 coincides with a presidential election. Mid-terms with 1 and 3, as well as Presidential elections with 2, tend to be in between. Which is why you can see Bat-Man's cowl on this, twice, separated by the 2002 mid-terms. Two things to remember: first, the Republican "Wave" years showed very small advantages in numbers. Look at 1994 and 2010: its just a little bump, but because they occurred in mid-terms, that small advantage in numbers translated to a big gain in seats. And another thing to look at: before about 2004, those numbers were pretty close together. The senate was less partisan, and senators had a good chance of keeping their head above water when political changes came. Since that year, notice that the gaps between the parties have been growing wider.

I gotta admit, several months ago I doubted the value of AOC spending so much time and effort owning right-wingers on Twitter. But if she can use that to trick the rest of the media into clear, appealing policy discussions that's really something and speaks to a bright future for both her and the Congressional left in general. I would also like to hear her answer to the "what newspapers do you read" question (seriously, I'm sure she'd have a good and thoughtful answer).

Really the tragedy of the 2016 election is that the guy who was born with a silver spoon shoved firmly in his rear end who lives in a literal golden tower WAS able to play to the fears and worries of working class people than the lady who actually came from that background. Like, it was wrong, blaming immigrants and poo poo is not the correct solution, but it was literally 'America is already great!!!' vs a dude saying 'poo poo sucks and the immigrants and jews did it to you' so woops.

The collective media needs to get its head out of its rear end and realize they aren't the noble good guys here by constantly propogating Republican hate speech and lies in their privledged notion of "fairness" before it's just the right wing that sees them as the enemy of the people.

I've said it before, but I'd like for any of the assholes knocking AOC to attempt to work even one busy shift at a bar or restaurant. They'd probably end up pulling their hair out, dissolving into tears, getting fired, or some combination of the three before the rush even hit.

It was, at times, a good resource at keeping track of what was going on. I believe that an involved, massive legal investigation into the President of the United States that has led to the convictions and guilty pleadings of his closest advisors, and that is continuing to expand, is more important than covering the latest Sick Twitter Burns, but I appear to be in the minority as far as that goes.

I think Chuck and Nancy doing it is smart. These responses are always disasters, and chuck and nancy have nothing to lose. You don't change any minds, you're not going to improv up some sick world ending burn, and the best case scenario is everyone forgets about it ten minutes later with the exception of how weird your lips looked.
