Nov 6, 2018 https://www.forbes.com/sites/tomang...alize-marijuana-for-democratic-house-in-2019/ I know this will be a hard sell in a Republican senate, but I think at least the hearings that have been outlined will be beneficial. Don’t a few republican senators support legalization?
Nov 6, 2018 So basically nothing happened lol, guess people can stop paying attention until 2020 again!
Nov 6, 2018 Dems flipped the house & won numerous governorships. That’s defintley not nothing lol. Also, flashback:
Nov 7, 2018 Dems having the house means nothing. Huge win for Trump and Republicans tonight. Trump 2020 is almost a guarantee now. Lets keep making America great.
Nov 7, 2018 Not the blue wave it was hyped up to be, but I suppose it was a decent night for both sides. Gotta say I’m surprised.
Nov 7, 2018 Yeah too bad this doesn’t matter. Both parties have things to be happy about, but overall Dems underperformed today in terms of what they actually won. This popular vote margin doesn’t matter when they didn’t win the number of seats as they should have.
Nov 7, 2018 Obviously I was referring to the Senate race. I fully expected the “blue wave” to result in a sweep, but I (along with many others) was wrong. Basically, both parties have positives to take out of the night, and I feel like that alone is a slight loss for the dems.
Nov 7, 2018 Dems were never favored to win the senate. The senate map this election was rough for Dems. Most the senators up for re-election were in red/trump states.
Nov 7, 2018 But favored or not with these big numbers/clearly big turnout I thought the “blue wave” could pull of a surprise or 2. I just can’t imagine the dems were all this hyped up going into this election for this result.
Nov 7, 2018 Ehh... their highest chances at winning the senate were like 25% & that was back in like September. Their chances this morning were ~15%. It would have taken a number of red states to shockingly vote blue in order for them to pull that off. Throw in voter suppression in red states that makes life even harder for Dems, it just wasn’t likely to happen. Partisanship is almost always going to be a more important variable in these elections than turnout.
