    Yes I’m a bit nervous. Dems are favored to win the house (80%+) & underdogs to win the senate (~15%). All in all, I’d be very happy with winning the house + winning a bunch of governorships (Dems are also favored to do well here). Confidence interval for all these races are pretty big though. It shouldn’t surprise anyone if Dems made gains in the house but fell just short of the majority. That’s what I’m most scared of: not winning back the senate & picking up seats in the house but not getting a majority.

    How come all of these liberal mainstream entities encouraging people to “go out and vote” dont just include what they really mean which is “go out and vote democrat.” Also I’m sitting this one out, despise both sides with a passion right now.

    Any fellow Pennsylvanians in here??

    Wolf/Fetterman all the way. Wolf ain’t nothing special but Scott Wagner is an authoritarian, oligarch loving piece of s---. Fetterman is a man of the people and I’m glad he’s on the ticket with Wolf
