A Historic Midterm for Democrats
November 11, 2022 at 5:57 pm EST By Taegan Goddard

President Biden’s first midterm performance for president is one of the best in modern history: Only in 1934 (FDR), 1962 (JFK), 2002 (Bush) did the president’s party not lose Senate seats and fewer than 10 House seats.

1. Dark Brandon Rises

Look out MAGA. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

2. To be fair,

overturning Roe (to be unfair) was a colossally stupid own goal.

3. But, I was told that nobody cared about Dobbs and rights being stripped away anymore!

I mean, so what if you're forced to carry an unwanted pregnancy and raise a kid for 18+ years ... big deal! That's nothing compared to filling up your tank when gas is over FOUR dollars a gallon!

4. As a dude, I can say it was probably RNC dudes who thought you'd forget

about your own bodily autonomy and get mad about this other thing they want you to be mad about.

It doesn't affect us dudes on a visceral level the way it does you, so we are distractible and assume everyone else is, too.

But the women Dobbs affects will never forget, and I am proud and grateful they rose up to answer it.

5. It really was!!

6. Biden is the definition of an underestimated President.

Apparently what we needed was an Old Hand who knows how shit works.

It isn't flashy, but things are progressing, Progressives.
