You will all be surprised in 2022 when the GOP takes the House and Senate. 

I won’t. 

I'm sure they'll have another excuse, and then blame it on the left. As always.

Exactly. They're so predictable and it's honestly infuriating because we cannot afford to lose the House and need the Senate to get anything done that is going to actually address the fundamental problems in this country.

You'd think being in the party that's supposedly in support of science and truth that these people would actually practice what they preach and actually listen and learn from data and facts.

But apparently that's too much to ask for as they'd much prefer to remain in their comfortable silo rather than change.

Also, Republicans constantly cried socialism with Obama and labeled him a socialist and that didn't make him lose, so the whole notion that this somehow caused Dems underperformance is patently untrue.

Progressive Democrats all won their races and reelection bids, while moderate Dems LOST up and down the ballot across the country. Yet more evidence demonstrating my point.

Some of y'all really need to start being honest in here.

Because Obama wasn't a socialist, but 8 years of fear mongering of socialism by Fox News and then a run in the primaries of Bernie in 2016 got us Trump. But you are not ready for that conversation. And neoliberialsm is fake.  No one in the Democratic party wants completely free markets or deregulation. It's as ridiculous as Bernie winning a primary. It's a stupid insult because it is completely fake. Those who use it are spreading misinformation. It's just just sad at this point. Misinformation didn't win Bernie the primary and it will continue to shrink a far left progressive base. That's why he didn't get the turn out in the primaries he hoped for. Even young people were turned off.

Does anyone know how AOC's results in her district compared to Biden's results in that same district? Did AOC underperform or overperform Biden?

Has anyone mentioned about Mark Esper getting fired yet? Is this bad?

He “resigned” a few days ago anyway so it’s not a big deal. We knew an angry Trump tirade was coming just like after his impeachment

I don’t think we can see by district exactly, but Bronx county went 80% Biden, and AOC won with 70% in her district

He was penning his resignation, but I don’t know if actually resigned yet? Seems like Trump wanted to be able to brag about “firing” before he had the chance to hand in his resignation

In terms of Latino support, one of the factors which made Arizona (AZ) finally blue is SB1070, a bill in Arizona which allowed cops to check for proof of citizenship in routine traffic stops. This is AZ’s form of California’s (CA) proposition 187: It was a law passed by Republicans with an obvious racist agenda. Once they made their racism apparent, Latin@s in AZ mobilized and started voting in large numbers.

This is described in the article, which looks at the Latin@ vote this year: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/09/us/politics/democrats-latino-voters.html (Warning: Possible paywall)

Why are you always lying about literally everything? Honestly. 

1. Young people were not turned off by Bernie in 2020. What a ridiculous lie. 

2. Bernie is not the reason we had Trump in the first place. Period. You're just saying **** at this point because you're not a progressive.
