(Well, short of using the immunity they gave Trump to Seal Team Six them, I guess, but no Democrat is likely to do that and they know it.) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Transporter_Room_3@startrek.website 19 points 2 years ago (1 child) no Democrat is likely to do that Honestly this is what pisses me off. When an opponent who literally wants you or yours dead hands you a gun, shoot them with it. Because if you don't shoot, they will.

We're likely to see the country continue to consolidate most of the population into a few states. We could be seeing a situation in the next few cycles where it's outright impossible for Democrats to win the senate while blowing out the House and Presidential vote. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Wrench@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Gerrymandering has made it impossible to "blow out" the House too. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] frezik@midwest.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) That only goes so far, and it's slowly being dismantled. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Wrench@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago That's optimistic.
