2010: Republicans gained seven seats in the Senate (including a special election held in January 2010) but failed to gain a majority in the chamber. In the House of Representatives, Republicans won a net gain of 63 seats, the largest shift in seats since the 1948 elections.

It is just that since both sides are completely incompetent/captured, the results aren’t that different. i think they succeeded in ukraine. europe has been cut off from russia, will pay for more expensive american fuel and rejuvenate american business, and will firmly remain under american military and political domination for the foreseeable future

Japan also may not be much of a help in the future with the hit it is taking. Arguably all of this is accelerating the United States’ decline.

The challenge is still pretty far behind, but at a certain point, if even NY is under threat, but not a great sign. (Just imagine how bad MTA could get under a Republican govenor, jfc)

Also, it looks like the Republicans may actually take some governor positions. Basically, the Democrats are putting themselves in the wilderness when they were already in a poor position in the first place then you have all the moves the Republicans are going to do to solidify their positions.

Yeah, if Rs are up 30 in the house, and up 2-3 (somehow) in the Senate then go into a good 2024 election , 60 Senate seats are in reach for them. But they won't be sworn in til 2025 so who cares!

Lol if she manages to lose The right wing guy is closing the gap and she has no base whatsoever, she's never won a state level election before, just a Cuomo appointee and prior to that, a right wing dem who managed one congressional term in 2011. She might lose lol. Because she hasn't killed enough homeless people yet, is the usual argument. Crime is out of control!!!!

The GOP has been flooding bad polls to mitigate the news coverage. If you look at all of these shockingly bad polls for Dems, it's almost guaranteed to be a GOP pollster or Rasmussen... https://twitter.com/tbonier/status/1587029434644807680 Grandpa Palpatine has issued a correction as of 18:11 on Oct 31, 2022 |
