Discussion: Democrats Seize House Control As Blue Wave Washes Across The Suburbs

I can go to sleep happy tonight.

I also see that Walker is losing in WI hopefully the Dem Candidate holds out.

McConnell, the gravedigger of our democracy, will find ways to fuck this all up.

Seems more like a blue ripple than a blue wave.

And because helping Trump and the GOP is the MSM’s real favorite thing to do, the story of tonight will be that it is a giant GOP/Trump victory for preventing the wave, gives Dems no mandate in the House whatsoever, means they should just go along with everything the GOP wants and that they should, by all means, avoid anything even resembling oversight.

I have tears of immense gratitude in my heart. Our nation desperately needed this.
The tightness in my chest that took hold on 2016 election night may begin to ease.
I can go to bed in peace now with a feeling of slight hope and my dream of seeing Nancy Pelosi return as Speaker of the House close to fulfillment.
She has matched the great Tip O’neal and in less time than he did it.

This is good news. Good news. And so, I think it’s time, on this planet of mixed blessings, of joys and hopes and doubts and fears, to fucking shake a tail feather.

Might be a good time to invest in the paper shredding industry.

Dem women are dominating!!!

Get the subpoenas ready!!!

Pelosi should send Trump a dead fish wrapped in a newspaper with a simple message tied to it: “Tick, tock, Motherfucker.”

Not really. If you drill down a bit you can see that the data marks significant changes in key geographic areas, but we are systemically and structurally disadvantaged in MAJOR ways…everything from the natural gerrymandering of population concentration to the overt gerrymandering of GOP racist district drawing to real GOP voter suppression power due to their control over state legislatures and governorships. Demographic shifts they are powerless to control still haven’t grown to where the GOP does not have options to generate temporary relief for themselves, but this election still shows growing strain on those structural and systemic barriers and the movement demographic shifts are inexorably creating.

Lighten up a bit. Control over the House is going to present a shitshow for Trump…complete and utter shitshow and I hope you have popcorn ready. Moreover, at least I had the decency to direct my irritation at what will no doubt be the GOP-controlled false narrative of the results and those who will mindlessly espouse or report it. You don’t have to turn it inside out and inwards where it actually doesn’t quite belong.
