I don't feel bad. I feel good. We were threatened with losing our country -

[TomDaisy]

we didn't. Not this time. We beat them back. We humiliated them. We mussed their hair. We roughed them up.

Let Kevin try to get stuff done with a 2 seat margin. That means he needs 100% attendance, and can't tolerate even 3 defections.

Defections from Rs in blue CA and NY districts whose constituents will not reward them for crazy.

And the more crazy shit they try to do - like persecuting Dr. Fauci - well that's just going to screw them again come 2024.


And now thanks to Bitecofer and others, we have a blueprint for how to fight and how to message. We have Jaime Harrison to help us raise money and allocate it well. We have Marc Elias and his team to help us fight in court. Success begets success. Success begets more donors. Success begets more candidates willing to run and fight.

There will be more and more horror stories coming out of the Dobbs decision that we will throw in their faces and force them to run on and defend.

And we know we are not alone. We are the majority, even though gerrymandering screwed us. We are the majority.

Would it have been great to get the House? Yes.

But I don't feel bad today. I feel good.

[Walleye]

1. And we know Joe Biden isn't afraid to go to all Harry Truman on their asses

[TomDaisy]

2. Dark Brandon! Yes!

[TomDaisy]

6. and he's going to be appointing a shitload of judges

[Sky Jewels]

3. And every day, Gen Z adds thousands of eligible voters to the mix...

Tick tock, tick tock, GQP-Taliban...

[TomDaisy]

4. the kids are alright

[texasfiddler]

22. May I say the kids are all-left.

That is actually the title of an audible book that I enjoyed listening to.

[sop]

7. The youth vote will grow, and the GOP has pretty much lost that demographic well into the future.

[Sky Jewels]

9. Right! ... And, not to be too morbid, but the generally conservative Silent Gen

is dwindling rapidly. The youngest members will be 77 by the end of this year, and the oldest members are in their mid-90s.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

10. Unfortunately Gen X seems to be moving right

And I say that as an older X-er. McCarthy, DeSantis, Alex Jones… all those people who don’t understand what the Machine we were raging against was…

[leighbythesea2]

15. I heard this.

As gen X, we are smaller. And are pretty much never mentioned, it’s always boomers and millenials and Z. I don’t mind that. Thinking millenials & Zs out number if they stay active & turn out!

[TomDaisy]

17. wrong.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

25. Look at the voting demographics

It’s probably a product of aging, but Gen X is absolutely becoming more conservative in general.

[Texaswitchy]

20. True.

Look at the nuts in Congress.

So many Gen X.

My daughters are super liberal.

The Nazi, and proud boy types.

[Texaswitchy]

21. And Florida and Texas.

The Governors are super right wing.

[Beartracks]

5. And we will be threatened again. I hope more and more Americans...

... come to realize that democracy is never a one-and-done thing. And a blue wave needs to be a blue TSUNAMI, wave after wave after wave, every mid-term, every presidential, every local and state election.

Vote. Blue. Every. Time. Again. And Again. And Again.


=================

[Demsrule86]

8. And we will win the House back when we reelect Biden.

[republianmushroom]

11. Kevin doesn't plan to get any thing done.

He just plans to obstruct.

[TomDaisy]

18. and their voters are going to punish them for not doing what he promised

[Evolve Dammit]

12. I feel "pretty good" but aware of how close and tenuous it all is. Shit show starts in January. Stay

strong!

[Joinfortmill]

13. Me too, thank you.

[Texaswitchy]

14. The younger crowd needs to show up every time.

I had hoped we would have both houses.

[CrispyQ]

31. When I was young most of my peers didn't vote.

A few voted in the presidential election but hardly any voted in the midterms.

[Texaswitchy]

34. That happened to President Obama in his midterm in 2010.

Us old folks know to vote in all elections.

Maybe reproduce rights might get some attention.

[WinstonSmith4740]

16. I feel exactly the same!

Of course, keeping the House would have been preferable, but the next best thing is watching those idiots try to put anything together. I'm sure MTG extracted a major committee chair for her support...they're all whores. With Trump down, and all the infighting going on, I'm sure there'll be a few Republicans who will be able to cobble a spine together and help Democrats actually get things done.

[TomDaisy]

19. the GOP shit show is about to display itself in all its glory - and we will

run on the fact that GOP Can't Govern

[CrispyQ]

32. It will help us come 2024, IMO.

Two years of watching the repub house fling poo will remind Americans what will happen if the GOP gets control of the senate or White House.

[TomDaisy]

35. yes

[COL Mustard]

24. Keeping the House would have been good

Keeping the Senate was vital because of judicial confirmations and the possibility of a Supreme Court nomination. There are also lots of other non-judicial confirmations that can get done now as well.

[COL Mustard]

23. And he has to work with Bang Bang and Empty Greene

And the rest of the Crazy Caucus. Good luck to him. And by that I mean suck it...you caught the car, now what are you going to do with it?

[Oneironaut]

26. I'm trans. I'm basically an election away from death.

I never feel good about politics. It’s an endless exercise in waiting for the blade to drop.

You can only buy so much time when the other side is crazy and wants to kill you. Eventually they’re going to win.

[OMGWTF]

28. These mole people just need to evolve. Hang in there. We support you.

[Ford_Prefect]

29. They won't win if the only thing they can do is damage everyone else.

That's what they ran on this time and look what they got for it.

They lost a lot of state level elections. the kind that feed better candidates into the federal cycle. The lost several important governorships and key legislatures as well.

I'm disabled and retired so they'll come for me right after you. I know how that feels. I saw it live and in person in North Carolina.

The next time someone takes an axe to federal funding I'm out of insurance, or food.

[vercetti2021]

30. I'm trans too

I'll be damned if I let them win and kill me. This trans woman owns guns and will use them to defend herself and her country from these freaks

[OMGWTF]

27. Chef's kiss!

[CrispyQ]

33. This could be the worst two years of McCarthy's life. -nt
