Good news bad news....


Good news, there seems to be a chance we may win two senate seats. Wisconsin margin for Johnson is already starting to concede. Fetterman is already with a 40k vote margin and that margin is growing.

Bad news, house is to close to call.

It would be a shame if Democrats loose the house but gain two senate seats.

Milwauke only 77% in and waukesha already 96%, Madison 93% in, madison suburbs around the 70%-80% range in. Total votes counted estimate 87%, Jhonsons margin 36,122.

We might still win Wisconsin.

MSNBC and CNN have called it for Johnson. 🙁

That was my thought. I’m sure Kemp had at least some coattails and without them Walker is in trouble. I have not gotten the sense Walker generates a lot of enthusiasm as he’s so obviously insane.

Walker has just about 2 million votes in Georgia, just about the same as Warnock. That's a lot of shitty soulless ghouls. I mean Georgia already has two Dem Senators, it's not a good sign that it's this close. Too many horrific people in these places.
 
If Walker is the difference between 51 or 50 those libertarians will suck it up and vote R, and Republicans and Independents who couldn't originally stomach voting for him. Democrats will have to materialize new voters out of thin air instead of existing ones. That's my argument, be it wrong or not.

not necessarily in GA, i bet a lot of Kemp voters won't show up for a run off.

Especially, if a majority is won before the run off. I can see people going, hell I'd vote for the fool (Walker) just to get majority in the Senate, but if it's already over, I'm not going to bother to vote for that fool.
 
Radio presenter said it was looking more like a "red trickle" than a "red wave". Is that about right?

Warnock won the runoff by two points in 2021 under a 50th vote scenario.

YES and its RENEWABLE ENERGY.

Many of their friends and the up and comers can't even vote yet but will be in the next cycle or the ones after that.

Abortion, climate change, student loan forgiveness and child tax credit directly effects them not extending the Trump Tax Cuts.

Meanwhile the Red Wave Makers are aging out as they're not renewable unless they can be composted but compost can't vote!

As long as we break the trend of becoming more conservative as people age.

Looks like we're going back to 50-50 except this time around with a pissed off Manchin that will already have to rebuke anything Biden does to save his own election campaign in 24.

Fuck Manchin, he is useless to the part for moving the ball forward. Democrats never can rely upon him thus he is useless and doesn’t count. I don’t give a fuck if Manchin is pissed off. Manchin can do something for the party then the party can do something for him. Deals need to be two sided.
 
Dems at least avoided a red wave. Still though, if the Reps take the House (as is likely) we are in for two years of gridlock even worse than we have had with trying to herd in Manchin and Sinema.

Becoming more conservative as we age works fine, as long as they're trending from Bernie to the center-right mainstream Democratic party...

Now if they're becoming more batshit crazy and joining the Q, that is a problem for anyone that wants to live in a sane world

Also 'people become more conservative as they age' is largely a myth. People tend to become more conservative relative to society but that's a function of society becoming more liberal. Generally speaking political views are fixed and stable over time.

This is about how close it was two years ago in a more favorable environment for Democrats.
 
Definitely a few different scenarios. Biden doesn’t have to worry about the progressives in his party. He can cross the aisle and work with Rep.

Adam Kinzinger thinks Dems should work with a few moderate R’s to elect competent speaker.

But most likely MAGAtards will take over and impeach impeach impeach.
