No. They will actually be going farther out into leftist la-la land.

Midterms usually end up with a shift in power. Sometimes it is a greater shift. This was a nomiinal shift given the historical track record of midterms.

Radicals lost them control...I thought it was inflation.
The radicals contributed to the inflation by restricting energy production, and everything has energy costs built into them.

Not a chance. Liberals never learn. Their takeaway from failure will be that they didn't give us enough liberalism and if they could only stomp the gas pedal on the socialism bus even harder we'd see the light. That's how ideologues work. The religion can never be wrong. They only messaged it wrong or didn't sell it hard enough and if the zealots get really piqued that they couldn't get through to us they'll turn to forcing it on us because ultimately they know what's best for us.

Believe me when I say that they do NOT understand the concept of acceding to the will of the people.

Nope. We’ll see the far left continue to rule the roost. Election-denying Hakeem Jeffries will absolutely allow this to happen, despite what he’s saying right now.

I dunno it looks like pretty much every most radically communist CD poster is now pretending to be moderate.

There is probably a pivot by the system in general to let Desantis have a win to let the insider baseball game continue and get it all back on the uniparty track.

The center slowly moves to the left so the Dems have a shorter distance to go than the Republicans who are fully out of step with the center and moving away from it. The question, posed from a rightist's point of view, assumes that the extremists on the left somehow control the Democrat agenda when that is clearly not the case. It just looks that way in their right-wing rear-view mirror. Remember the warning: "objects in the mirror are closer than they appear".

Okay, I will give you that!

The thing that irked me the greatest, during the Trump Administration, were the porky budgets and Covid-19 Relief bills. The passage of all that was enough to drive me up a wall!

it will be fun, we will have a NY liberal on the dem side and a “bipartisan” swamp creature on the other side. i suspect Hakeem and Mitch will become best friends and work together to push the country further left. it’s always a win for democrats because progress always wins out. republicans might slow it down slightly, but in the end we always move forward. granted, dems get very angry and emotional when they cant have their latest far out idea implemented immediately…but no worries, we will be lobbing off genitals and having mandatory pornos soon enough. just be patient libs!
