How well paid?
Middle class?
Upper middle at least
6 figures in the states if you're a unionized Master plumber
Ah
The trades pay pretty well here
You're getting at least middle class pay
Yep
It's good (usually ) honest work
But academics hate that @Silver0Fox
Is that really his twitter handle?
Average american
Had to read it a couple times
Kept reading av gamer-acan
"We got the Democrats on X Y Z Crime this time!" is equivalent to "We got Drumpf this time!"
Keith Ellison is doing just fine
With a conservitive judiciary they might for once
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.
