and as the old immunity the democrats did have is gone we can hope they go for the jugular
They just have to be smart about it.
Democratic Senate seats up in 2018: 26
GOP Senate seats up in 2018: 6
I feel like this fact should be brought up during any analysis of how the Senate played out because it's kind of important
I mean, this is relevant to so many hot takes. "BUT THE DEMOCRATS WON THE POPULAR VOTE HOW DID THEY LOSE SENATE SEATS"
Winning more votes in the Senate but losing seats is exactly what you'd expect when defending 4 times more seats than your opponent
I guess technically the GOP was 9 seats because of retirements, but that still means the Democrats were defending 3 times as many seats as the Republicans. It was an extremely rough Senate map and I don't think messaging caused the losses
the "won the popular vote" line they are touting is utter tard
the number they are harping on is the total numer of voted the dems got NATIONALY
while the senate elections were all state elections
no shit the dems had higher combined number nationaly when california voted dem
yeah, national popular vote means jack shit, because the vast majority of that vote wouldn't have voted for any specific senator.
and that whole one place, probs Cali(??) had 2 Dems fighting it out no one else
they, of course, only voted for their senatorial race.
So whoever the fuck is trying to use that as a reason is actually fucking retarded.
why the fuck do people think trump is fascist
real answers pls
because they are functionally retarded.

They’re politically illiterate
you should really ask them
They couldn’t define fascism if they wanted to
in "public" internet places
how is he NOT a fascist?
he was democratically elected
that's one example
So were real fascists
he doesn't want a white ethnostate
The reason he’s not fascist is because he wants to loosen state control
hitler inherited the seat of power
yeah but he's racist, and he wants to kill minorities and lgbt people
It’s literally the republican manifesto iirc to delegate power to the people
after mysterious circumstances killed the previous ruler
Or states in this case
A fascist would centralize all power around himself and establish totalitarian rule
also, do you guys think there's some big conspiracy going on from the people who are really in charge to push everyone to the right
Aka no things such as states rights
because everything the left is doing weakens them
@Angus no, they’re just out of touch
It’s what elitism does
they are using the tactic of lying over and over until it sticks
