US Elections 2018: Democrats take House, Republicans keep Senate,
529 replies, posted
Apparently Democrat senators who may run in 2020 are saying don't cooperate with Trump for their 2020 chances, while representatives want to work with him.
Weeeell for the last 8 years it ended with the GOP actually winning so it was pretty scary
CNN is hoping Trump will pivot to a more moderate agenda's like paid family leave and bumping minimum wage, which I'm okay with.
Now: what crazy shit are the GOP going to try and ram through in the lame duck period 🦆
He's going to ramp up the racism and nationalism even more. Even when his advisors try as hard as they can to change his mind.
Even though I don't think he actually means this and was just saying it as a narcissistic way of coping to preemptively explain away any undesirable mid-term outcomes, he did say this recently:

So what are Ted and Kemp's fates?
Two years into the 'Trump won' timeline and still waiting for that Donald Trump pivot
NBC just said that there are 50k votes missing in MILWAUKEE
Last time I checked, that was the number of ABSENTEE BALLOTS (where my vote is)
Uh...
They're demonstrating the big problem with rigging an election: nobody can punish you if you win.
...which will then be followed by the hot takes of "This is the moment that Trump became Presidential..."
IF there are 50k votes missing in Milwaukee and they get reported, they will go to Evers and Walker is fucked.
They will be destroyed, but I bet it will be caught on camera since Republicans have caught residual retardation from Trump.

🚨THIS ELECTION IS AN ATTACK ON MEN🚨
Men now only get ~75% of seats??? Next time it will be zero!!!!

WHAT?! CHRISTIANS NOW ONLY GET 98% OF SEATS. IS THIS AN ELECTION OR A FUNERAL FOR AMERICA. SMH VIOLENTLY
It's really close and leaning towards Kemp, but it's still too soon to say. We probably won't get a definitive answer for a few days.
So this happened too in Milwaukee, but it is not binding. If Evers wins, there is a good chance it becomes a real thing.

Yeah, good luck with that. I expect nothing less than him digging in his heels like a petulant two-year-old at seeing his power slip. He'd never compromise even if it's the only way for him to accomplish anything. He'd rather cross his arms and pout at the adults.
WISN: Milwaukee: 47,000 Ballots Still Being Counted
At least one house of Congress has flipped in the last four midterms, apparently we haven't seen this political turmoil since the 40s.
Yea, that 50k number is mostly absentee ballots.
And the unfortunate truth is that Democrats will probably become spineless worms again and attempt to compromise, only to get totally fucked over by the Republicans.
Which is fine with me. I will consider it a massive insult from the DNC if they even humor the idea of trying to compromise with Trump. If he's not getting his ass kicked every day for however much longer he has left in power, then this election will have been for naught.
Pretty pleased with the results of what was on my ballot. Everything looks to have gone Democrat except for State Assembly, and a few unopposed local positions (county sheriff, surrogate court justice, and town justice) all of which went Republican.
This has proved in order to win you need to court at least some Trump voters
Amongst other things, they can start investigations. [cough Trump's tax returns cough]
the two most important things are "say no to trump" and "launch investigations in to trump and his associates"
whether or not they actually do that is another story. democrats are notoriously bad at doing the whole "opposing the outright evil shit the right does" thing, but they seem to be energized and ready to get going. they have an easy win here and they appear to be super excited to learn that this game has an easy mode.
Sooooooooooo The democrats win the presidency and the republicans win the vice presidency?
Okay, this is epic
The 50k ballots will put Evers over the top if it follows the 2/3 trend of Milwaukee voting for him. Evers is also leading right now without them
