None of this matters as there will not be free national elections. Trump (or more likely people in his administration) will issue a series of Executive Orders which will put troops at polling stations, require federal documentation to vote, will seize voting machines in key districts, and will lock up anyone who doesn’t comply. He tried all of this before , now he has sycophants to do it. The SC will do nothing saying it’s too late or something like that. Then we’ll hear, „We recounted this swing district and the Republican won“.

This is why Canadians cannot view the USA as an ally, ever. Basically if 48.5% of the population is fascist how on earth can you trust them?
I truly believe the world will start to slowly divest in USA and start looking elsewhere. Canada has no choice to be aggressive about it but other countries will follow.
Also USA „deals/agreements“ are totally worthless. The repercussions of Trump will be felt generations from now and will be looked at as the first sign of the fall of USA

Why not just say what the two digits are ? It would be more efficient and give more information. It seems the digits are 1 and 0. And a third with a period would be .4

This is a silly way to say that the democrats still lost by 24 points. Like yes its an improvement, but they didnt out perform anyone there

Stop celebrating losses fucking dipshits. This is the same exact thing democrats did last time. They kept pushing this narrative that losing but over performing was amazing then they lost every branch of government. It’s sickening that these motherfuckers are celebrating losing again.

The republican coalition of voters is made up of low propen voters Democrats will continue to over perform in special elections like they have for the last 8 years but it doesn’t matter if they just lose in the midterms.

What other sign do the GOP need before they remove that dude from office?
Republican won, so net loss no matter the gain.
It was still R+25
„Overperform“ still means lose in this case. Sad, but true.
TL;DR local dems lost bigly again, but sucked a bit less.

None of this matters as there will not be free national elections. Trump (or more likely people in his administration) will issue a series of Executive Orders which will put troops at polling stations, require federal documentation to vote, will seize voting machines in key districts, and will lock up anyone who doesn’t comply. He tried all of this before , now he has sycophants to do it. The SC will do nothing saying it’s too late or something like that.
