In reply to the discussion: Dems were expected to take House, nothing more. Calm the fuck down [View all]SergeStorms
(19,204 posts)There were tremendous inroads made in Florida, Georgia and Texas. All three states are prime picking for Democrats in the future, especially Florida where over 1 million new voters - mostly people of color - will now be able to vote again. Getting them to vote will be the next item to check off of our list.
I never really thought we had a chance at the Senate. It was a very uphill battle all the way, and our real chance to take control of the Senate will come in the next 4 years. And don't forget the presidency. Trump WILL be defeated in 2020!
Democrats made tremendous progress in state Houses and Governor-ships. These are crucial to stop GOP gerrymandering and in the next elections we won't have to defeat Republicans by 5 times the number of votes we really need.
Take a break, enjoy our victories, then tomorrow morning get back to work. There is the peoples' business to do!
