It feels like these days, the only elections to move the needle are presidential elections where maybe one party can get all 3 houses and then maybe pass a couple bills.

Other than that, the whole thing just stalls out and the government just looks outwards at foreign policy.

Why should I care about GOP losing tonight? Trump will veto anything sent to his desk.
It’s not like the GOP Congress sent anything to his desk anyways? What has changed?

The one that matters is presidents because they can open borders.

The only thing I care about is the Senate for SCOTUS

Other than that I hope the federal government does nothing

Why would you not. We’ve allowed the cocksuckers to serve with no term limits and never pass a budget while allowing the national debt to reach a level where it will never be reduced.

This country is dead and won’t be here in another 100 years.

And the only people we have to blame is ourselves.

that’s why we need to eliminate the filibuster. 60 vote threshold just ensures the uni-party stays in power and nothing changes.

The end game is set in motion either way. I called these elections the most important ever, but not because of the outcomes of the races. The elections themselves don't really matter at this point.

Trump can only vet for 2 years. These senators will be in office for 6 years. Way to plan ahead…

Agreed. Outside of local elections, Republicans can not get out of their own way at the National level and truly get nothing done. So many RINOs that talk a promising campaign game and then do nothing.

We have voted in every election for decades. My husband and I have never seen such a line to vote in Lincoln county, Mississippi.

Maybe there’s apathy in other places. I don’t know. But I know what I saw.

One election worker told us that they had never seen such a big turnout of voters here.

We were impressed.
