this is the thread to discuss the 2018 congressional and senate elections



on one side we have the republican party, "the party of lincoln". they made a retard president and will likely be responsible for more deaths than any political party since the National Socialist German Workers Party.

on the other side we have the democrats, mostly a collection of bought and paid for assholes who represent a different set of rich people from the republicans. genereally more sane and better at maintaining our capitalist empire. extremely bad at getting the power to do that though



polls indicate the democrats will probably win the house and could even win the senate.



thanks and enjoy the thread,

Despite their best efforts, the Democrats are going to make good gains this year.

i think more high-ranking democrats than we think have gotten tired of tying their political fortunes to losers like the clintons and want to do things on their own terms (which may or may not be different than the direction that they've gone in for the past quarter-century... oh who am i kidding, there's no "may not" about it). there was a lot of shuddering among them when hillary released her book where she said she effectively learned nothing, and even a lot of people in congress from NY said she needs to shut up and they won't support her if she runs again

but that's for 2020. in 2018 i think both Paul Ryan and Ted Cruz will lose. Ryan's Democratic challenger is actually pretty good imo. he's Randy Bryce, a union iron worker who can stand on the bankruptcy of republican efforts to gently caress over healthcare due to his mom dying of cancer. he's getting a lot of support and exposure from the Working Families Party, who started up their branch in Wisconsin only two years ago. plus, Ryan has been shown to be really unpopular in his district and polls have him with only a very narrow lead

as for Cruz, i think O'Rourke will get the Dem nomination and thump him. some parts of Texas were the only parts of the country in 2016 where Democrats flipped counties from red to blue, and that was with a lovely candidate like Hillary. he's pro-Medicare For All so that's a huge plus
