If it was about babies we'd have universal maternal care. There would be no charge no matter how complex the delivery. But its not about babies, is it?

The House and Senate never made sense too me.

If one side or the other has control then whats the point in the other side having spots?

It's like pay going out to people when it doesn't matter what they think or vote on since they'll get out voted anyway.

The U.S. government wasn't designed to account for heavy partisanship and bad-faith actors as a result of that partisanship.

Of course, since the system also isn't designed to resist party politics and tribalism, it ended up happening anyway.

Republicans are gonna win the House. Senate will probably remain split, which is the same thing as Republicans winning that as well, since Sinema and Manchin still exist. It's gonna be 2 years of investigating Hilary Clinton and Joe Biden, no legislating, and no judicial confirmations

Not that Democrats really did anything with the trifecta, anyways. So probably just more of the same, except with Joe Biden getting impeached for...something.

Also another takeaway from this election is MAGAts got spanked hard, so the GOP is probably going to start actively trying to distance themselves from Trumpism

the dems overperformed, but not by enough to matter. expect two years of nothing happening.

true, but at least in keeping the senate the dems get to keep Emperor Mitch from any further appointments.

Guess a job is a job.

Maybe just to keep things theatrical.

Guess each party can have heel turn votes on things.
