Democrats are looking on nervously as their last-ditch goal of recapturing the House in an otherwise brutal election shows signs of fizzling.

    24 hours ago I hoped Trump would be out of my life forever in less than a day. Right now I’m watching the House races in ever-slimmer hopes that Trump won’t have control of the presidency, the Supreme Court, and Congress in January.

    The US Enabling Act seems certain to follow if that happens.

      Sure looks like the Republican will be in absolute power come January 20th. And, ironically, I feel like Republicans have gotten more done than Democrats over the past two years despite only holding the House.

        They have. Because their sole purpose was to prevent anything the Dems wanted. It’s easy to do when your only goal is to obstruct.

        Well yeah Democrats tell the workers they don’t want what they say they want and instead choose to push what disconnected billionaires ask them to push socially. Repubs tell the workers the truth in that Democrats don’t care what you want and they instead promise the impossible or wildly impractical very confidently and people would rather buy the dream then face reality.

      Best I can do is livable human future out of your life forever in less than a day.

      Ugh. It’s genuinely horrific. The fourth reich.
