2022 - time to start working on that. Dems can not afford to lose EITHER house of congress.

We can't afford to lose ANY seats. ANYWHERE.

We MUST retain control of both houses of congress. I'd like to see it for a minimum of 8 years but will settle for FOUR.

Can we do it?

Need to start NOW. Celebrate first. Then get on it, right?

reasons or because you like them...they must be able to do the job. It was a disaster when Pres. Obama replaced Howard Dean. Hell I would get Howard Dean or Stacy Abrams if they were willing.

all the GOP States (a majority) will redraw districts to give them the House. Plus normal mid-term loss for the ruling Party.

We have 2 years to get things done. We must act with this in mind.

The Republican civil war officially starts today. Hopefully for the next two years they’ll be too busy fighting and primarying each other to mount much cohesive opposition.

The next round of “stop the steal” conspiracy madness should take place during the next set of Republican primaries as they start accusing each other of vote fraud.

It will still be hard going for the Dems of course, but hopefully the next two years will be extremely unpleasant for a Republican Party divided against itself.
