The special election was in a heavy Dem area so a no brainer. NJ is very close. Of course NY City was not going to vote for the former guardian angel who is a heavy Trumper.

That has nothing to do with the mess in VA. Biden's approval among independents is gone. VA is gone. The House is going to be gone in 2022, redistricting alone will take 5 seats.

Why pretend? Our message is failing with white suburban women. We lost the excitement with people of color as nothing happened with voting rights. The watered down bills will not help. The young did not get their community college or full student loan forgiveness.

The Repugs have a great plan, bash Dems on open borders, crime, China, with a little the radical left will be deciding what your kids will learn sprinkled in.

We are in deep, deep doo doo for 2022 and 2024. And the fact is if not for Covid, Trump would still be President.
