Laxalt just got passed in Nevada. Went from +800ish to -5000ish with the latest tally posted by Clark County. AP hasn’t called it yet but some news outlets have. Assuming Masto wins, Democrats hold senate, and possibly gain a seat if Warnock wins the runoff. Terrible midterm showing from GOP. They had all the conditions needed to make for a crushing Democrat defeat with inflation, crime, gas prices, Biden being senile and useless, etc but instead chose to spend two years on election denialism, worshipping Trump, and going after roe vs wade just months prior to the election. So many own goals in what should have been easy paths to sizeable majorities in both senate and house.
Not to mention being anti-LGBTQ shitbags in many cases. They’re basically doing everything they can to turn off people like me who want fiscally conservative government while protecting civil liberties, individualism, and bodily autonomy.

You cannot be the party of freedom if all you do is try your best to take away the rights of everyone because you bring your stupid god into politics.

I was rather pessimistic before, but now my morale is basically zero and it’s obvious I’ll never have a party that represents me in this country. Too many shitbags, too many fucked up people with axes to grind against shit that doesn’t matter.

Don't need to in FL - we know what we're doing here.
Didn’t De Santis do some nice gerrymandering to boost numbers? Regardless, if he ever runs for President, I will be voting against him. And that’s not good news for you guys.

I vote strictly based on Liberty and liberties. Freedom of choice, free expression, individuality, Bill of Rights.

If any single ideology interferes with someone to own a weapon, protect himself or herself, be who he or she wants, make decisions which are individualistic and not infringing on the rights of others, then it's not only the ideology, it's the ideologs I stand against.

Senile and old as he is, Biden has actually done some good things policy wise as president. But yes, based on macro factors it should’ve been a bloodbath for the Democrats.
Republicans shot themselves in the foot by being sore losers and not accepting results and casting doubts on mail in voting. Not to mention, Roe v Wade being overturned really galvanized a lot of women and young voters.
The President is a figurehead. That's it. Those surrounding him or her are the ones who create policy.

To be fair, Democrats rallying and posturing over the 0.2% opened that door for the GOP. And in these times where the issue isn't as important as the reactions to it, claiming that school teachers are a cabal of drag queen witches trying to lure your children into having their wieners lopped off is just a means of trying to exploit that irreverence.

Hard to say. Dems have been floating student loan forgiveness as a policy point for about a decade now. They’d obviously have to legislate at this point.

Just like codifying abortion and providing single payer healthcare?
