Republicans realising 2016 was a (Russian funded) fluke and that their days are numbered is so very tea. Refreshing mint tea.

After all of this, the fact that Dems could potentially keep control of the senate, house and presidency again... 

[Bosque]

Funny video but honestly Republican voters will never ever care about their politicians and pundits being hypocrites. I mean they backed Herschel walker after the whole abortion mess  as long as there’s an R behind your name that’s all that matters.

Let's not forget Joe Rogan deleting his Red Wave prophecy.

 

The propensity for these tools to parrot these right-wing mantras exudes the same energy I see on apps like Nextdoor that say "Caruso is a Democrat" or "Democrats aren't doing enough of what I want so they're gonna lose and it don't care". 

 

You see it on the right and the far left. I hope that those on the left who doubted the strategy of using MAGA Republicans as a wedge issue and Democrats being able to get historic legislation in with very little power but not getting everything they wanted still realize that the two parties aren't the same. 

 

If we want to move the Democrats left, let's try to also wipe Republicans off the map from getting any power because they're your only alternative with this system.

People don't seem to realize that the red wave had already happened. Republicans had won by "ending"/ "banning" abortion. 

 

The fact that Dems are celebrating that they weren't humiliated on the polls right after the GOP attacks on human rights

Is this praising Democrats on spending hundreds of millions of dollars to promote candidates like Kari Lake whose Dem opponent lost mainly due to youth turnout, all while Dems leadership in the DCCC lost the House and winnable Senate races due to not sharing funding to said races?

So you're saying that despite the Democrat's thin majorities, their ability to pass needed legislation like student forgiveness and the Inflation Reduction Act envirogorated the youth vote and their strategy to paint MAGA GOP as crazy turned out the independent voter? And that the Democrats overall are better (not perfect) at governing? 

 

Let's not pretend like the youth vote is the only thing that helped. In fact, it's about damn time they did! But it was a collective effort that not only prevented the Dems from losing Congress completely, they bucked a decades old trend of losing massively, flipped red districts, and may even gain a Senate seat with Georgia. 

 

Both can be true.

Congress didn't pass legislation - Biden issued an executive order utilizing legislation passed In 2001.

 

Now which group of people originally had the idea for the president to do this?

Always embarrassing when real life comes into the conversation. Sucks to suck.

I wasn't referring to Student Debt relief as legislation. Though poorly worded, it was in reference to the IRA. 

 

Biden already had student loan debt forgiveness included in his 2020 run after commenting he was impressed by Warren's proposal and had integrated it into his campaign promise.

 

Elizabeth Warren, a Democrat and an economic exp, has been towing the student debt relief and campaigned on it.
