But we could have run a more enticing candidate and there is hope in demographics shifting Dem if we can fix gerrymandering

so that we will never have anything resembling a free and fair election in this country ever again.

It will be permanent minority rule until the country finally breaks apart. The most perfect candidate and the most perfect campaign won't change that.

Trump is Surtur. He's the flaming monster who will destroy America. And giving him a second term would be like putting his skull on the eternal flame and watching turn from a flaming monster into a giant flaming monster capable of destroying everything in his path.

...I fear you are right. Had we taken the Senate we could have at least stymied some bad behavior and trends, but without that, even with the Presidency in Biden's hands, anything that resembles progress is hard to envision.

This election should be a tidel wave that drowns them and it feels like a puddle they can step over.

Even if Joe wins and I still think he does. The madate according to M$M will not be much. plus how many weak ass senators got reelected...dead wood like Lindsey and Turtle.

I’m just done with really giving a shit about politics.....done. Hey, social security gets cut?? Who cares, I don’t, ACA goes down, who cares, I don’t. and let’s just give up on women’s, LGBTQ, and minority rights. I’m done........I really thought this election, with all the new and younger voters was really going to be different and make a difference. Guess not. I’M DONE.

have more power in the senate as New York and California

That is why the Senate is unfair bigtime

The EC negates the votes of California increases the power of Iowa.

if the orange f*cker gets a second term because they cheated or if he gets a second term because he actually got that many votes. I am just sick inside. Our country has no soul.
