i think that republicans are going to win the house too; that will give the republicans control over all three branches of government and i hope that they're as good at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory as democrats are.
- I hope they are too, but they’re definitely not. They’re gonna nationally ban abortion, amongst many other things. If anyone thinks otherwise, they’re kidding themselves.
  
  I like to imagine that there would be uprisings, like the kind with molotovs, if a national abortion ban was passed, but I think the not-right is too disorganized. It's all very handmaids tale.
  And aside from infighting, there's a lot of people clinging to "we should follow the rules." Rules don't mean much if only one faction is following them.
  
  i'm crossing my fingers for another repeat of speaker of the house voting; but for the next 4 years.
  
  They will probably at least slow themselves down at minimum, though and that will matter. Their majority is already narrow and there are good odds of cutting into that majority further or potentially even flipping the house if we're very lucky. They had house speakership fights for a while in 2022 with a narrow majority
  They are already having some signs of potential infighting in the senate where some Republicans are trying to claim McConnell is holding a "coup" against trump by having earlier senate leader elections (McConnel is not running for senate majority leader so it's a bit more competitive)
- I have come to believe that Democrats are paid to lose by their donors.
  
  Its about absorbing progressive momentum then dispersing it so the rich won't get taxed and/or have to pay fair wages.
  Occupy Wall St. would have been bad for rich people if that movement was associated with a competent political party, so Dems took to it to do nothing.
  
  The Party of Complicity
  
  It's definitely better for their fundraising when they aren't in office
- Oh, they are fantastic at it. It's the dog that catches the car and doesn't know what to do. They realize they have no plan and no policy to pass.
  
  they had zero policies or plans and still won.
You know they plan on retiring alito and thomas so that Trump can pick 2 nice young replacements for the supreme court right?
Kamala continuing her streak of being one of the top losers of all time
YAWN this thing is still going on ??
BORING
i know democrats and voters dropped the ball here, but by this much?
i'm not convinced that these are the true actual tallies.
- Harris dropped the ball.
- The DNC chose Harris who got zero delegates the last time the voters had a say.
- Everyone in the DNC should be fired. Horrible strategy & leadership yet again… & no one should be keeping their job & no one should be taking any corporate donations.
