My kingdom for a 1974 House + 1958 Senate midterm.
(Or 1932 when we gained 97 House seats. That sounds nice.)

They did in 2018 too.
They still lost 41 house seats. And lost the 2020 election despite record spending. And in 2022 saw the worst gop performance for Dem Prez midterms since 1934.

We played this game last time. Yes, overperformances in specials matter.

We literally played this game before.
Yes, the gop is in trouble, and yes, Dem overperformances matter. Currently we’re running ahead of the 2017-2018 wave seen below on the average.

FINALLY! The little hypocrite should have done this last year.
She ruined democracy for the rest of us, the piece of trash. Worst legacy of any Dem in my lifetime.

In the 2017 off-years, I remember them downplaying the Dems winning big in Virginia and New Jersey. Even Alabama was just a temporary shock for them.
By November 2018, they were chomping at the bit to say we had a terrible midterm result on the first night (“only ~20 seats!”)
It rose to +40 seats.

Is the “gop wins elections” in the room with us?
Here’s a look at the last time we had huge protests, where we had the biggest gains in the US house since 1974. Heck, we won Alabama Senate back then.
And this year Dems have been overperforming Harris’s narrow 1.5% loss by 15-16 points.

Biden did, and you didn’t give a fuck.
Also there’s this thing called Google. Stop being lazy and do your own research.

And a lot more too! Shame on people for not reelecting him or Harris, they get what they voted for.

“Two parties” my ass. I don’t have to play nice like Harris does, so let me say a big fuck you to anyone who ignored *EVERYTHING* Biden, Harris, and Dems were doing.
They’re quiet now because idiots like you didn’t have their backs when they stood up. The *people* failed.

I remember it being D+11 at one point and we were excited about that.
In the end it was a D+10.6 overperformance for special elections in 2017-2018, and the actual 2018 midterms were a D+8.6 result in the House. You can check this doc from Daily Kos/ the Downballot.

“Nothing really matters” folks are the reason we’re here.
Biden could pass the biggest climate law in world history, cancel hundreds of billions in student loan debt, get the first gun reform legislation in 30 years, and people would still call Dems “rep-lite.”
Oh wait, he did all of that.

Baby your comment isn’t past 3 iq. Maybe try looking at Obama winning 2012 despite a TERRIBLE first debate, same with other 2-term presidents. Spend more time looking up facts. And less projecting your opinion. It is what it is.

LOL, if this were true, then Obama would have lost in 2012 after his even worse debate against romney, and we’d have President Kamala now. By 2025, self-defeating idiots like kevin here had lost all sense of responsibility, considering they cost us the election. It’s just a fact.

Moron-krator, throughout your life, you’ve never contributed anything of value. You’re clearly not capable of deciding a President’s ability to do the job. No one is fooled. You do a grave disservice looking at “dementia tictoks” instead of Biden’s actual speeches and the polls post-debate.

Oh look, an idiot who didn’t look up any facts.
Anyway here’s some facts: replacing an incumbent President with another candidate has NEVER worked. Want to know what makes people lose faith in your party? Throwing out the leader. Just ask Hubert Humphrey and Gerald Ford.

People who didn’t watch Biden’s speeches in 2023-24 are fooling themselves.
The man literally went into 2 warzones and had an amazing speech THE DAY AFTER THE DEBATE.
But keep pretending your altered 10-second ticktoks have a better representation of Biden’s speech ability.

Reality check:
Obama went through the SAME EXACT THING in his 2012 reelection campaign, completely failed his 1st debate to the point they were trying to blame it on “altitude sickness” since it was in Denver.
The problem? Obama’s 2008 convention was in the same city. Oh also, Obama won in 2012.
