Y'all do realize what it means if we take the Senate and cut the Republicans win in the House, right

[Baitball Blogger]

In the eyes of Republicans, it means that America has gone socialist!



Seriously, we need to use the next two years to push wise programs that will prove our case that America needs social programs to make sure that Americans can survive these tumultuous times and provide a healthy workforce for the private sector, which in turn, ensures a healthy consumer base for capitalism.

1. Do something about the Supreme Court?

Wow, that would be something.

2. I know there are 3 dozen vacant federal judge seats that need filled.

3. I'm confused

We already had the house and senate. Why would anything change?

5. Because we've never been here before.

It is, essentially, a sign that the country, for now, is open to left-leaning solutions to the current problems we face.

And, yes, we could have used two more Dem Senators. But if we have one more to work with, it gives us some leverage against Joe Manchin and Sinema.

BTW, how the Republicans will court Sinema will be something interesting to watch. She is their only ace up their sleeve in stopping popular Dem measures.

7. On MAGA planet they really won and the non-white cheated again. They are NOT going to change their m

... on how unpopular thier policies are because their god said they really won

8. It is a sign we are a 50/50 country as before.

It is not a sign the country is open to more left leaning solutions. The House will be close to 50/50 no matter who controls it. So will the Senate. Republicans received the most votes for the House 51.8% - 46.6%.

6. I think what the poster is saying is that we have a chance to capitalize on our wins. We

could lose it all or part of it. Now is the time to get things done that we want done. We have a wish list. Now we can make (or partially make) those things we hold dear become reality.

9. I think your take on the OP is correct

And I wish it were true. But I'm not sure how losing by a little less than many predicted is a mandate for drastic change.

To be honest, I think the only thing really keeping us where we are is that the MAGAT wing of the party has drug the Republicans into a crazy place the average American doesn't want to go. We need to continue to show them that we are the adults in the room and continue a slow and steady progress towards change.

10. Yes and it will take time. We have to get rid of the red stain on our politics. There's work to be

done.
