I’m Scarred from 2010 and 2014.
Why won’t it be like those years?
We can't view elections that way though. 2022 is not a bad map for the Senate. Dems can gain (or retain) control there and we also don't know what's actually going to happen over these two years. Biden could be successful, GOP could implode.. we don't know what outside factors there will be, etc..
For years on here I said Biden can beat Trump. I wasn't the only one who said that but there were hundreds of people on here who said Trump has 2020 locked.
My whole point from the beginning was "tell me why Biden CAN'T win in the Rust belt" and nobody ever had a reason why he couldn't win there... they should have known he was popular in those areas, they should have seen the appeal, they should have seen that even Hilary almost won there... but they were blinded by all the bullshyt surrounding Trump.
Dems can win in 2022. It won't be easy. I'm tired of the pessimistic discussion. He hasn't even taken office yet. He won over Trump in a landslide. It's not close.. This wasn't a close election...
Yes, down ballot sucked. That doesn't change that Trump was repudiated. He lost back the Rust Belt. He also lost AZ and GA. Biden is up huge in the popular. This was not close.
GOP should be more concerned with what happened at the top of their ticket than I should be concerned with down ballot.
