So, woke from a nap. GA gonna go Biden, bigger Senate there will not, no updates anywhere else in the country. That means we are at least at 50 Rep. senate and Biden is president.

Obama at least waited two years to tank the Congress.
"tank"? The Dems are on track to lose only 5 net seats in the House and will actually net gain a seat in the Senate. They definitely could have done significantly better, but this is far from "tanking."

The Senator in question just randomly has 100,000 less votes than Biden. They didn’t go elsewhere, they just aren’t for him.
I honestly think the Dems not picking up the Maine senate seat is the worst lost this go-round. Biden won the state by ~11 points, but Gideon lost by ~7 points. That's an 18% differential!

However you want to frame the before and after, this result falls far below expectations.

Definitely. I’d blame the Biden “moderate Republicans are our friends” campaign getting Collins, who has always run as a moderate, getting over the hump. Should’ve pinned more of the judicial hearings on her.

Are we talking about Prop 22 passing here?

Because that seems terrible
Oh that one sucked majorly. I don't get why people don't ever think about why employees needed those sorts of protections in the first place and why trying to skirt around them is bad. It's like, surely these people understand things like minimum wage? Seems like a close enough concept you'd get why you don't want exceptions

Meanwhile in Arizona:

"Stop all that vote counting, except here because it might make me win." Think someone loaded a satire routine into the Matrix...
NAh as the thing I posted before


It's not satire it's just the inevitable result of things ramping up as they have done for years and the grand desire to "defeat" their "Enemies".
