we did well in the mid terms BUT

[Riverman100]

we lost the house and I don't want to be a Debbie Downer, but until we have control of all of it, I will temper my celebrations. We better fight to give Joe a second term with Dems in the house and senate. Imagine what that great man coulld do.. end rant

[thucythucy]

1. Right you are!

[Scrivener7]

2. You are absolutely right.

And I wish we could outlaw that infantile taunt of "Debbie Downer." On DU, it seems only to be used by Democrats to insult other Democrats. It's ridiculous.

[mvd]

3. My regret is we have to wait 2 more years to pass more progressive legislation

We did well considering, but that is a shame.

[shanti]

21. Isn't the Senate

sitting on tons of already House-passed legislation? Can they work on those?

[mvd]

25. I guess until the new Congress begins

I’d like to see as much as possible done in between.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

4. It's a terrible thing when Democrats insult other Democrats.

[FoxNewsSucks]

6. No rational person would see that as an insult.

It's a call to action, and continued vigilance.





Only a fool would relax now, thinking republicon cheaters will simply go away. Only the stupidest of fools.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

7. I have no intention of relaxing. Malicious actors are in our midst.

The lies are insufferable.

[FoxNewsSucks]

8. How ironic.

Is that an admission?

[Just A Box Of Rain]

9. The stalking and harassment are against DU's terms of service.

Yet you percist.

[FoxNewsSucks]

10. At least I can spell.

And you don't have much to worry about, despite stalking being against the rules, I (and other leftists) don't generally run to Authority to hide censor or punish those with whom we disagree. So if you were reported for harassment or stalking, rest assured it wasn't by me.

Anyway, I'm sorry to have wasted your time. I'm sure it could be much better spent here https://www.democraticunderground.com/100217381252 explaining to Democrats/liberals that CNN is not moving to the right.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

11. Are there any media outlets in the United States that you have not accused of being right wing?

Too funny!

[FoxNewsSucks]

12. Please go defend them. Don't let me take up your valuable time.

You can respond with your boilerplate to me tomorrow, there are far more important things for you to post now. People here

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100217381252

are upset by the tongue-bath CNN gave to Mullah Mike Pence! Hurry! Time's wasting! Go defend that!!!

I certainly can't!

[Just A Box Of Rain]

13. I take that as a no.

[FoxNewsSucks]

14. What a fabulous dodge.

Hurry, your defense is sorely needed! People think CNN is pushing rightwing crap with Mullah Mike Pence!

[Just A Box Of Rain]

15. You seem to be an expert on the topic.

So, I ask once again, are there any media outlets in the United States that you haven't accused of being right wing?

[FoxNewsSucks]

16. Yes. There are.

Now, run along and defend corporate media. Someone has to do it.

Have a nice night.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

18. But not ABC, CBS, CNN, PBS, or NPR?

What about NBC and MSNBC, are they also right wing according to you?

Let's get a full list, shall we?

[FoxNewsSucks]

23. I SAID GOOD NIGHT!!!!

[Just A Box Of Rain]

24. I thought you were talking about "dodging?"

And were going to list all the "right wing" media outlets we need to watch out for?

[FoxNewsSucks]

5. You are absolutely right.

This was a reprieve. Breathing room. A stay.

That's great, but it was not a victory, it was keeping their cheating from giving them a victory --- THIS time.

If our elected Democrats fail to address voting rights, there won't be a next time. We cannot forget that THEY will work tirelessly to ensure their cheating lying and stealing don't fail again.

That's not being a Debbie Downer, it is facing reality and the need to act not relax.

[Demsrule86]

19. In order to stop the GOP...we need to win in 24 period. Without the house our options are

limited for legislation. We can't count on the disgraced Supreme Court.

[Bettie]

20. And there is no way in hell a Republican house

allows voting rights legislation to go through.

It's not being a Debbie Downer, it's being realistic. We've seen who they are and they aren't likely to change. In fact, they are likely to double down on the worst of it because they think they can rig it before the next election.

But, hey, I guess we're just supposed to smile and declare the everything is fine as the world burns around us.

[Demsrule86]

17. We barely lost the house...and honestly if California and New York had handle redistricting better,

we likely would have won...no more Mr. Nice guy...gerrymander the fuck out of those states that we have a majority in.

[Bettie]

22. Except Dems play fair

and most of those states have "independent redistricting boards", which is what fucked us in CA and NY.

[moonscape]

26. We have a grim Senate map for 2024 -

all defense

[DemocraticPatriot]

27. Give this a thought, if you might
