Everyone who donates to the democrats in 2022 should get a framed photo of the giant anthropomorphic swastika made of bones and teeth (R-Ohio) that their money ended up going to.
lost the house, maybe the senate, and that’s a win? fucking pathetic.
Yes, I’m also confused about this. I’m hearing a lot of people talk about how the midterms were a total success for the Dems but from all I can tell, they lost the House and they can’t possibly get those mythical 2 senators Joe Biden was asking for to counteract Manchin and Sinema. Of course that’s all academic since the second Dems have a majority in congress a few more Manchins crawl out of some alcove to play spoiler, because the Democratic Party does not know how to wield power.
i think part of it is how Dems were supposed to lose way worse. But it shows how white liberals think when they think losing control was actually a very savvy political move.
Both parties lose the midterms when they have the Presidency. Which is why Dems gained seats in 2018 when Trump was there. Usually they also lose a bunch of governorships and state legislatures but Democrats actually gained some this time
Basically it’s a huge contrast to the 2010 midterms
At the same time if you confront any of them about this they’ll deny it exists and call you a conspiracy theorist
