Not much of a blue wave if you ask me. Okay, the Dems took the House back but not by a landslide. I honestly thought people were fed up with Trump and Republicans and that the results would reflect that. Silly me :triggered:

Oh well, it's a step in the right direction I guess :vegas:

The way #metoo went after Kavanaugh put off a lot of the middle grounders.  

It's supposed to be about empowering women too scrared to speak up . 

Looks more like a political weapon for the left are the moment.

The Democrats carried the female vote by nearly twenty points—fifty-nine per cent to forty per cent. In the eighteen-to-twenty-nine age group, Democratic candidates led their Republican opponents by thirty-five points; in the thirty-to-forty-four demographic, Democrats won by nineteen points. More than ever, the Republicans are becoming a party of middle-aged and elderly white males.

The Democrats were set to win the popular vote by seven percentage points. That would nearly match the margin the Republicans achieved in the 2010 midterms, which Barack Obama famously described as “a shellacking.” Only the rampant gerrymandering of the past few years contained the size of the Democratic majority.

Massive voter suppression and gerrymandering have to be factored in. There had to be a blue wave to overcome these obstacles.

We really have to kick ass in 2020

The election map is almost as red as 2016 if not more

I assume that’s because the population distribution if uneven though. Middle America is not like the coasts: they have far less people. Because of that it looks like the whole country is Republican when in actuality it’s just a fewer number of people in those areas that tend to sway Republican.

If you look synonyms not just the Senate’s and House’s votes, you will see that Democrats have the popular vote.

You're thinking of a tsunami, there was a blue wave last night. We beat tea-party 2010 numbers in 2010, and that was the original "red wave". We lost a few seats in the Senate, but that's okay, Trump won't get anything passed without Dems.

And with that it tells me only time will get rid of this cancer.

The fact that young, upcoming citizens are the soul of this political movement gives us hope for the future. 

So sad to see that all these close minded, racist people with outdated views of society (not saying that all republicans  are like this) are deciding for the country when majority of them wont even live long enough the see the full consequences of this politic regime.
