Not sure what is so concerning with this in comparison to the last 3-4 mid-term elections.
For many, myself included, we feel this administration is a failure. I for one, thought it would be reflected in the voting booth.

Guess people are fine with the way things are going.

It appears the GOP will take the house by the slimmest of margins ever, this is good in the fact that the free money legislative agenda has died. based on that, the inflation aspect will ease. prices will NEVER go down - understand that most of all. so it wont get worse except for the fact that everyone in tech is laying off. Based on latest BLS and Treasury cipherings using all the 'guzzintas' it will be 4-6 years before wages catch back up. But in 4-6 years China will be the dominant world economy and the US will be a service economy in support of china so we got that to look forward to.


If'n yall dont like it, yall voted for it. I watched it last night.
I hope so. But the media will put pressure on Republicans to cave.

Years of indoctrination are bearing fruit.


That's my pessimistic take.

My hope is that this is all just a rejection of Trump. His policies were great for the country and to me, that is most important. But he was without question toxic to a large portion of the populace. I hope order can be restored with better candidates like DeSantis or Younkin.
Agreed...we are now reaping what we've sown.

I wonder the same. Must be people out there with plenty of money who don't care about rising costs? Voting democrat will allow costs to continue to rise. Then we have thousands of poor migrants coming into the country every day. Makes no sense.

I was recently looking at Montana, Utah, and possibly Idaho for the next move.
California's climate is the best, but the nice weather won't be enough to keep me here for much longer.

I'm not sure people are "fine" with it; however, the GOP never offered up any good plans for a way out of it. They never said how they were going to lower prices on food, gas, etc. What were they going to do in the U.S. to correct a global problem. If it was put out there, they didn't get it out well enough.

You’re throwing up your own pet issues I didn’t mention any issues.

Statements like this are why the Republican Party gets rejected by the people of the USA.

I feel as though we've probably made a turn that we can't come back from, especially as young people get into more positions of power. They've been indoctrinating young people for decades now, right under people's noses.

How someone like Fetterman can beat Oz is still amazing to me. Those people are going to get what they voted for I guess.

Of all the races so far that one has me completely baffled, same goes with NY governor, but as the other thread suggested so many people that would have voted her out left the state already.
