Fuck the bullshit! GOP spin about it being a 'great' election for them is horseshit!

[In It to Win It]

9. I understand that! I don't discount any of that

I'm in Florida. Democrats lost up and down the ballot. GOP-appointed judges remained right where they are here in Florida, all of them. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. Looking at that, that sounds good for republicans. In Florida, republicans didn't lose anything... but didn't really gain anything either. They flipped 2 or 3 house races that we had flipped back in 2018.

They didn't move. They didn't really gain any additional power but they didn't really lose any and they paint that as a bad election for Democrats, which is not really the case in my view.

For Democrats, the only direction we really had to go was up. In most of the states that had elections, the deck is stacked against us. These were long shots.

My main point is that I take issue with the narrative that the fact that the republicans won races that were in their favor -in deeply republican ruby red states and districts- is somehow a bad night for Democrats.

Because we were eyeing the state house in Texas and we didn't win is bad for us. The fact that Democrats can even talk about possibly picking up more seats in the Texas legislature is bad for republicans. That means they're losing ground... but that is no where in the discussion.

The GOP has gained no ground yet Democrats are easing in on their territory (Arizona and Georgia just to name a couple) and that's not part of the story when it should be, even though we may not be doing as well as people projected.
