Ok so a nine seat majority, not a four seat majority
tmbhmltn.bsky.social
I think it’s pretty tenuous to argue polls 6 months out from an election mean anything especially generic ballot polls
tmbhmltn.bsky.social
Dems had an 11 seat majority after the 2020 election
tmbhmltn.bsky.social
What are you even trying to say
tmbhmltn.bsky.social
Yeah they lost house seats because they had a huge house majority thanks to 2018. They gained 3 senate seats and won the presidency
tmbhmltn.bsky.social
Republicans netted two senate seats by winning Indiana, North Dakota, Missouri and Florida. There weren’t massive losses

The actual house popular vote margin in 2018 was higher than any point in that RCP average you posted
tmbhmltn.bsky.social
Democrats didn’t have impressive showings in 2018 and 2020???

8 months after you wrote this article the GOP got wiped out in the midterms

If I wrote an article that said “Dems aren’t resisting Trump enough and that’s gonna hurt them electorally” and then 2018 (and 2020) happened I probably wouldn’t bring that up

I’ve been shouting at Dems for not going hard against Trump since early 2018. I was arguably the first person to make that argument in print. Leave me out of this

You’re a self described liberal scold lol

I have no idea if Van Hollen would be a good minority leader but the job of the minority leader is very much not to inspire you, guy on the internet

Yeah if we want to call it Cabot day instead of Columbus Day sure I’m fine with that
tmbhmltn.bsky.social
It’s just a day off work (mostly)

Rick you live on that continent
tmbhmltn.bsky.social
I think there’s a very big difference between the Vikings finding Newfoundland and then giving up after a few years never to return and Columbus finding Hispaniola and what happened after
tmbhmltn.bsky.social
Right but people kept coming to North America afterwards which isn’t the case for the Vikings
tmbhmltn.bsky.social
Kelly that wasn’t a response
tmbhmltn.bsky.social
What propaganda am I spreading
tmbhmltn.bsky.social
It’s not a big deal that someone found the place we all live now?
