re: #208 EdDantes

Perhaps Obama should have campaigned more for his candidates. That would have affected the outcome, wouldn’t it?

No, it didn’t in 2010.

We have a pattern emerging. Your party wins midterms because they’re low turnout elections with built-in advantages due to gerrymandering and an abundance of small red states.

The Dems win the big elections, when 30 million more people vote.

Enjoy what you’ve got while it lasts. And remember: old white people are dying off at a disproportionately high rate, and getting replaced by minorities. So what you’ve got won’t last for long.
