Again, not surprised.

 

Folks, there's no other way around it: nationalism has swept our country; and like any common cold or flu (or reboot/revival craze), we're just gonna have to ride it out.  (As it is, there's little our generation could have done to fix the messes of the past two years.  Even if the Dems had made bigger inroads tonight, it still would've been up to our kids and grandkids to figure out how to get us back to where we were before Trump.)

 

But, at least the Dems have regained control of the House, putting (as others have said upthread) an effective check and balance against Trump and the GOP.  It might not be the "blue wave" many had dreamed of, but it's something.

Guys I have worked the past few months canvassing, phonebanking, helping fundraise for Underwood. She's not my rep but is an AMAZING candidate and I will tell you if democrats can put up candidates like her the future is positive.  32 years old and a future star IMO

 

And Illinois did its job as has Iowa, both flipping 2 congressional districts.

Dana Rohrbacher has been voted OUT.

Sanford (remember him), his seat went to a Democrat.

 

Dem Joe Cunningham turns Sanford open seat blue in South Carolina

 

 

American electoral machine needs to tighten up.  Things like this make the U.S. look like a banana republic. Sadly, this is not an 'only in Nevada' scenario.  There are several states where I could see this happening.

 

 

 

I don't know what to say about some of these governors races that are still in limbo, particularly the Georgia governor's race where statistically, it's still 'too close to call'.  I guess one way to look at it is that, with all of the skullduggery and out and out tricks, Stacey Abrams has still managed to keep the race as close as it is.

I'm happy that the Democrats had a successful election although I have to admit I had hoped for even more.  I guess it's hard for a foreigner to completely understand the mindset of the American voters, but then again I'm baffled that so many people here voted for a xenophobic and homophobic party with neo-nazi roots. So maybe it's me who's out of touch with what people want.
