2020 (non-presidential) elections stuff

He's going to run again. Hopefully republicans narrowly reject him and he goes 3rd party

If the ‘rona couldn’t kill him he may live to 100

the moderate-progressive split didn't mean much in the house over the last two years, because trump.  with a smaller caucus and a less salient common enemy, things could heat up.

LOL, why is Abigail acting like this is her first election? Defunding the police was never part of any platform anywhere, it was an activist talking point that the pubs used against the dems, that crap happens every single election. I'm guessing the reason she was in a close election has less to do about what activists say and think and more about she's the type to blame others for her nearly losing.

These idiots making policy decisions based on what mean ads the super pacs will run is exactly why they, unlike republicans, have spent the last 30 years not getting dick done.

No chance. There will be trump republicans that will run though, certainly a woman, someone like Sarah Sanders.

[steve dave]

I'm 100% certain Ivanka will run

[wetwillie]

I figured it would be Nikki Haley

it was a close election because she represents a (slightly) red district.

also, she's been in congress for two years.  she's no more responsible for not getting dick done than omar is.

I think Trump's base is fool's gold, anyway. Pursuing them probably helps the republicans keep the senate, but the presidency is always going to be a long shot if they plan on continuing to run somebody who doesn't have the slightest prayer of winning the popular vote. It feels like Trump came close in this one, but really by late Tuesday it was apparent that the odds were not in his favor at all. Planning on winning the number of close states that their current strategy requires is like betting a parlay.

Increased access to voting helped Democrats, imo. I mean, you had a month to vote. I don't think this many people will be able to vote in 2 or 4 years.

It's really hard to say it helped the democrats more than the repulicans.

You think all of those democrats would have showed up on election day? This was the most free, most fair election in the countries history.

Joe manchin would be an automatic no on any progressive legislation

You are truly a dipshit, dumb troll clown.

You disagree??  WV is red by a huge margin.

No, but the repulicans wouldn't have, either.

[steve dave]

no idea if these people are up for election or anything but what a world

I think it favors democrats.

I think you need to tell Abby Spanbarger this, she's the one blaming activists, not me.

Of course I agree, you idiot. I called you a dipshit because your point was basic and overly simplistic. Yet, you somehow made it worse by saying that he will vote that way because "WV is red by a huge margin." They've had two Republican senators and two Republican governors the last 40 years, that's the same as Massachusetts.

Everyone reading this board knows that Manchin is a centrist. I'm interested in what you consider "progressive legislation" though. Do you really think a man who represents one of the poorest states in the country, with notoriously limited and expensive access to healthcare would vote no on a public option?

1000% correct
