The country like my depression, blue blue blue

Dope account, thanks for sharing fam

He’s predicting Dems get 219 seats tho fr?

And the GA runoff prediction seems a bit like clickbait to make a prediction on this early tho

Didnt even peep his GA prediction but maybe hes banking on less GOP turnout now that theyve lost the senate

GOP already turning on trump. If they lose the house hes going to need a a series of f***ups from desantis to get that 2024 nomination imo

yikes

I could see that, but I could also see turnout for Dems being even less if they feel like it’s not necessary. Feel like young voters are way less likely to vote in it than old voters if the Senate isn’t up for grabs. Either way, don’t see anything right now that makes it reasonable to make a formal prediction. I appreciate different perspectives though.

My bro going in, thought this was a fake account posing as him

Dems have no excuses these next 2 years

genuinely surprised dems won against laxalt in NV given republicans won the governorship there

is NV the only state where a dem governor lost to a republican when the prior gov was democrat?

boy do i likely have bad news for you

Oh I know they'll find some excuse lol

obama first term congress is a great example of this

You mean when they had one of the most productive Congresses ever?

by what factors are you qualifying this

They had numerous major pieces of legislation

which ones specifically do you believe make this the most productive congress ever

are you just saying "most productive" in terms of like, pleasantries and work, rather than in terms of meaningful legislature

the only "important" legislature i can think of from teh 111th congress is dodd-frank, which was essentially a massive smoke & mirrors failure. The original ACA never passed in 2010 and the substituted HR 3590 / reconciliation bills were both bandaids that failed to incur real longstanding reform besides tiny benefit.

Many substantial proposed bills failed or were stuck in house/congress. I am aware legislature like ARRA, SCHIP, repeal of don't ask don't tell were passed during said time, none of which I would consider major victories or substantial change. Even the CARD act had many unintended consequences.

one of the major origins of modern filibuster debate was in the 111th congress.

The same Congress that didnt codify roe v wade.

Can you please get off your knees for once lmao

I mean, you could make the case that they should've gotten more done these last two years when they had Congress and the the Presidency

But these next two years they won't control the House, so I'm not sure how you can expect them to get much done given they'll need GOP House members to sign on to whatever they want to do (assuming they don't win the House, which I don't think seems likely atm).

You’re talking to someone that hated Obama since 09, I’m well aware mane lol

Why would Obama care about codifying Roe when it seemed like it was settled law in those days?
