give them the kind of run that the GOP always gets, primary the ****ty ones out, see what happens
"we can build on this"


the real problem is that too many people have like zero problem with Trump's agenda, they just wish he'd be less of a jerk

maybe it'll get better if old ppl start dying out before the world does, because most of these policies that are too progressive for most dems even are supported by like 60-80% of the population in a lot of cases

of course it'll also help if ppl realized that their local GOP candidate has literally a 0% chance of ever going for anything of these things that they want ... will you accept guns & racism instead?

Concern grows when I hit the "key races" tab and just see a ton of red and a sprinkle of blue. I think a poor night tonight would be worse for me than 16. At least for the last two years I've been able to convince myself it was due to a combination of an historically unlikable opponent and not knowing what they were voting for; they just wanted something different. A poor night tonight means that the majority know exactly whats going on and they approve of it. Which is a sobering realization given that we already know the general area this path leads if you've read a history book.

It's early though so we'll see how it shakes out.

Dems battling back a bit but it's hard to blame them for this. Seemed to run a decent campaign on average. This isn't running a bunch of Hillaries, this is America being terrible regardless of the outcome.
