2022 - dems in disarray thread

[grateful]

At this point, the shellacking seems to be more of a medium glaze.

Fetterman beats Oz!!!

[sweetcell]

Warnock has a small lead on Walker, but neither will get to the required 50% - so there would be a runoff.

i was jumping around different networks' live coverage on youtube.  NBC was unwatchable: 2-3 minutes of un-insightful observations (not analysis), followed by 4-5 of commenrcials for their own documentary and special reports that all look like leftist scaremongering.  so awful.

At this point, the shellacking seems to be more of a medium glaze.

and at this point, it's looking more and more like a light drizzling.

not impossible that Dems get themselves to 51 in the senate.  how awesome would it be if manchin wasn't running the damn show all the time??

house is probably still going to the GOP, but not looking to be by much.  dems are over-performing vs. expectations. talking heads on PBS have been hyperventilating while pointing out scenarios that could result in the dems holding on by one or two seats... pipe dreams.

Went to be knowing that Fetterman was outperforming Biden’s numbers across the state, so felt good about that..

Lauren B. Is still losing!!!

Looks like the Nevada Senate seat is in play for the Dems

Michigan is the home of some badass female Dems!!

[kosmo vinyl]

Holy shit.. Michigan Dems have appeared to have flipped both their state house and senates.. looks like abortion along with a bunch of rep lunatics running for office helped tip the scales

I’m aware of at least three MAGA clowns  running for congress that went down in MI, OH and NC.  The “rapper vet” in OH even lost in a newly gerrymander district.

[kosmo vinyl]

Minnesota Senate also flipped to Dems!! Nice trifecta there now

[Starsky]

Fearing the worse I willfully ignored results and am waking up to better than expected results? Is this true?

[Starsky]

Arlington County results. Clement loses another one even with my vote.

[Julian, Bespoke SEXPERT]

This is an A+ performance by Dems.

[kosmo vinyl]

This is an A+ performance by Dems.

Yup!!! Witness what happened in Michigan, they flipped control of the Senate after it was held by the Republican's for forty years.

What gains the Repubs made in congress were excepted as they were winning in heavily gerrymandered Florida districts.  But, the two Dem congressional districts wins in Ohio were also significant in the final count.

No clue as to what the makeup of the PA or WI legislative bodies are, but one would hope in the next round of elections, Dems put as much energy in those races as they did for Fetterman, etc  Ohio is a lost cause at this point...

the khaki wearing dude on MSNBC basically said control of the house really depends on what happens in CA at this point and it takes a long time to count votes in CA so it could be awhile.

My prediction is Lauren B. will become a Faux News grievance correspondence, will say something completely outrageous and land on newsmax

welp turned into a red ripple

although still looking like Impeachment-Palooza for the next 2 years...so don't get so excited


Glad to hear about MI across the board
PA was great and we need to keep that blue, which if the GOP had put up a better candidate, don't think JF would have won
Nice to see them electing a Jewish gov too

Also MA with our first lesbian gov!
MD with it's first African American gov!
MD with Pot legal! as well as MO!

GA...welp Stacy got smacked down
Sucks about people like her and beato, sound like great people for the Dems, but if they can't win elections...then are they?

Run off for Warnock, ugh...but dems seemed to do well in GA special elections in the recent past, so we'll see


VA
Nice to see almost 1 mill votes in a mid terms

glad to see Spanberger won
Beyer with 73.5% of the vote! 
could he be running for Gov in 2025? or will he go senate?
Wexton seemed like a gimmie, but before today, it seemed like a nailbiter under the current climate

We did need Elaine Luria, but knew it was a long shot.

Florida was a red wedding for sure, but everyone predicted that...same with TX

[Julian, Bespoke SEXPERT]

Wisconsin legislative bodies or perhaps the most gerrymandered in the entire country. Super majorities for Republicans in both despite more votes going to Democratic candidate statewide.

[Dejecty-hatch lııllı|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|̲̅̅=̲̅̅|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|llıl]

also would like to state Dobbs and Democracy seemed to play a bigger role than the economy...can I get an apology from some people here

[Starsky]

Of course man, once you apologize for saying why is Biden wasting time in Michigan when he could be in Ohio and Florida (we lost those by 15-20 points).

And I will wait til all the results are in thank you very much.
