I thought it would be interesting to get some predictions on the Midterms. Does abortion and the threat to Democracy as a talking point motivate the left as much as inflation?
My prediction is a strong House win for Republicans and a narrow Senate majority.
I also wouldn’t be surprised if some of the gubernatorial races go to R’s. Oregon is even in play, believe it or not. New York is in play.
It’s wild. I don’t think any of us would have ever imagined those states as R possibilities. I don’t think they will happen but it could be close.
I say R’s win Ohio, NC, FL and NV senate races. I think Masters loses in a close one in Arizona. I think Lake wins. I don’t think Mastriano has a chance in PA and I’m skeptical of Oz. I think Warnock beats Walker in GA and Kemp beats Abrams.
If I was betting, I’d put just a little money on the Rs just absolutely wiping the floor in this election at a rate we haven’t seen in decades.
I agree that if they F this up it’s a major failure. The inflation aspect should override everything else, but they do have a fired up left on the abortion issue.
Only the mouthbreathers will be concerned with this as they have no critical thought to understand the causes (COVID, supply chain, war) and that republicans offer no solutions for said issue except to pad the wallets of the 1%. Lastly, trump would have had the economy in the exact same spot (or any other democrat or Republican). The issue, is there are a lot of mouthbreathers who vote and Dems love being bent over backwards.
I need to see this cycle over cycle for past 20 years or so. Michigan and Penn seem to have high mail in, which is great, but I need to see it longitudinally before I Make Any kind of suggestion. We need to hope Demscan “steal” another one
I think we all know the answer to that. It’s not really relevant what caused it.
The elections always come down to the economy first and foremost and when inflation is this high, people vote for change.
You can argue the Dems had nothing to do with it or whatever, but the reality is that people vote against the incumbents in a midterm on a normal basis and the current environment just exacerbates things.
It is a perfect storm for R’s and they would have to be really bad to screw this up.
As usual, you are partially true here but exaggerate.
Yes, supply chain and COVID factored into things. But what about us continuing to cut billion dollar checks for Ukraine? How many billions have we sent? We are talking about another $50 billion! Polls show support for just continually sending money to Ukraine is waning. People are like wtf.
And Trump started with the stimulus early on, but did we really need the COVID stimulus last year? It was ridiculous. I didn’t need those checks. The unemployment rate was low. What was the government doing continuing to heat up an economy that didn’t need the money injection.
I am not confident you know anything about anything. Again, you still think schools have littler boxes for furry kids. It is VERY relevant as to what caused it.
Again, you’re just a puppy…
You’re showing you don’t understand inflation at all or what causes it.
Funny how you ignore 3 checks beforehand, but focus on the 4th.
World saving, utopia seeking cunt. Who said anything about cutting checks? We simply want the cost of shit to come down, which in turn will mean less people needing checks.
I’m not against sending money, but is there no limit? We just keep cutting checks for $40 billion here, $40 billion there? What’s the limit? We’ve sent more money than Russia has spent on their entire military.
Why can’t we have a conversation about enough being enough?
It’s adorable how frustrated you get when someone shows you that you don’t even have the basic understanding of the topics at hand…“but, but, but…I don’t want to talk about that; I just want to talk about this narrow little thing that makes me feel warm and fuzzy.”
