Democrats face grim political reality in midterms
2021-10-20
[THEHILL] Democrats are grappling with the increasingly dire political reality facing them in next year’s midterm elections as warning signs pile up for the party ahead of 2022.Once hopeful that they could defy the typical midterm shellacking dealt to the party in power, a series of foreboding developments has rocked that sense of optimism. President Joe Biden
...... 46th president of the U.S. An incredibly corrupt version of Jar-Jar Binks, only well into his dotage. The dumbass who abandoned Afghanistan.......
’s approval ratings are in free fall, his top legislative priorities have stalled and, just this week, Rep. John Yarmuth (D-Ky.) announced that he would retire, making him the first senior House Democrat to bow out ahead of the midterms.

In conversations with The Hill in recent days, several Democratic strategists and operatives expressed a growing sense of pessimism about 2022. Each one said that the party’s recent decline is reversible. Still, most offered a sober assessment of Democrats’ position heading into the final stretch of 2021.

"To be blunt, I’m not feeling good about where we are," one senior Democratic congressional aide said. "Look, it was never going to be easy or anything. It was always kind of contingent on what got done. I just think we’re starting to see how fragile this is."

#10  #7: will they set curricula to ONLY include STEM and CIVICS, with a tad of HUManities ie Will Durant type. A diploma or degree in ass-wiping hygiene is useless.

The Liberals, Socialist and Democrats stand to be ripped out of DC in a honest election.

But we are already seeing the usual ground swell movements of "selling" Racism, and a need to do Mail in Ballots.

SO... who believes we'll actually have a semi-fair election in 2022? Given they are in charge of Poll watching and vote counting...

Less we forget Fulton Co. GA.
Where we have hours of video and truck loads of evidence showing they kicked out the Poll/ballot counting watchers, brought in photocopied ballots. All so Biden and our 2 Uber Liberal US Senators could sudden get 80+% of votes counted afterwards.

#3  The election is a year away. That is a long time in politics.
I suspect the dems will make it a clean sweep in California with no R winning a race.

#2  The grim reality depends on how much voting still matters. I'm predicting an exciting come-from-behind last-minute comeback for the Dems who just manage to squeak by.
