    By my math, Dems need a clean sweep to get to 65 (+2 independents) for a total of 67. If even a single Republican up for reelection next year gets it we’ll fall short as usual. So nope, no convicting the traitor in the White House after the next election either.

        Spent my whole life watching Dems grab defeat from the jaws of victory. With the stakes so much higher I expect nothing less of them.

          You’re living in the past, man! Although, I totally hear you on that.

          Was it over when Obama faced McCain? No! Was it over when Obama blew the first debate against Romney? Hell no! Did trump-backed candidates win after 2018? Not really!

          Get winning in your mind! It has been done, it will be done again!

          Yup. This is the election they’ve been training to lose for decades.

          I’m still gonna go vote though. And try to get others to vote too.

            Best of luck, but the second those MAGAts got back in power the chances of a free and fair election went out the window.

              Well, the only legal thing we can do is vote. The other options shouldn’t be discussed online.
