lol if you really think the dems are going to make the country ungovernable rather than keep on trying to pass lovely-rear end deals that give the GOP 90% of what they want

Every single bad dem would trip over themselves to hail the ascension of the very sensible and good President Pence, followed by a thousand years of darkness.

Not voting for the Dems in a D vs. R race has never pushed the Dems Leftward.

Neither has voting for the Dems.

The only Manchin vote that matters is the vote for majority leader.

In theory.

In reality the majority leader would be Chuck Shumer so it doesn't matter a ton. He'd probably STILL cut deals to appoint judges.

Chuck Schumer's biggest problem with Trump seems to be that ol' Donnie doesn't let him be a collaborator, so I think you're being a bit too charitable here.

So correct me if I'm wrong, but the much-ballyhooed blue wave that we were assured would definitely sweep the GOP out of power ended up being literally a standard midterm election?

Watching D&D gaslight itself into "actually this election result was not only good for us, it proves that centrism is right" is some loving poo poo, I tell you what

You know that they'd have done that regardless of the result.

They actually are saying there might be a ballot design flaw.

But it's not one that you can correct, it's one that makes the voter overlook the race entirely and not vote in it. It's unfixable in a recount.

Ah yes, a "design flaw" that you conveniently can't correct. What a whoopsie, am I right?

Still trying to figure out why the AFL-CIO endorsed Brian Fitzpatrick in PA, a Republican that has repeatedly voted against collective bargaining, instead of a progressive Dem.

Fitz won by 51%. We could have had 3 or 4 extra Dems from PA if unions had behind Dem candidates in that state.

The AFL-CIO is a collaborationist organization whose real purpose is to defang the Americal labor movement, and hence, when push comes to shove, they'll always go with the wishes of capital.
