Gee, the public is even more sour than before on the R House, sees it as interested only in power and stunts, hates its policy priorities, and would blame it for dysfunction.
Pity that didn't stop it winning in the first place (Rs did narrowly win the House popular vote... it wasn't just gerrymandering; though they won by much less than normal in a midterm). But Rs better watch their political backsides.
@RationalLeft Rs do lose, but not by nearly enough. If this country is to have any progress in the future, they must lose big in 2024, but I have my doubts. The Rs make it a point to keep their voters dumb and depend on them being stuck on stupid, and it generally pays off. Ds have always had a messaging problem. I hope someday Ds learn how to play the game so these elections can stop being so damn close.
