Here come the self-doubting Dems

[SmartVoter22]

Now that the fat lady is inhaling for her final aria, we are getting the self-doubters coming out of the woodwork.

...this pundit is an idiot, that pundit is a a**hole, and every finge useless albeit normal complaint about bipartisanship in COngress, what if after what if...
These complaints, by Dems, seem to focus about how information was presented to these overly sensitive Dems.

We won the important race and held the House.

We now write the budget, control the checkbook and have the pulpit.

1. Damn skippy!!

[PubliusEnigma]

2. We also picked up two seats in the Senate and possibly more.

Some people just don't know how to accept success.

3. The media leads the way...

They're already examining "what went wrong for Dems" and that's the supposedly liberal sites. Then some DU'ers glom onto that meme and work it to death.

In my opinion, the Democrats in this country worked their asses off in this election and for the most part stood as one, which we intended on doing, so I'm happy with that.

4. It is always like this -- somehow programmed in pundit brains

It is the game of lowering expectations for republicans and making them impossibly high for Democrats.

We see this in every aspect. For example - if republicans go up 0.1% in polls, they are "surging" if Democrats do it, it is mentioned with a caveat that the race is going to tighten and this increase will not last.

5. Exactly. We are a heck of a lot better off now than we were before.

[Suburban Warrior]

6. Remember in 2018 when pundits initially...

said it wasn't a blue wave and then we picked up forty seats in the House.

[Blasphemer]

7. AND we may damn well get the Senate. The votes haven't even been fully counted and we act defeated..

It's ridiculous. We won Georgia and Arizona people! GEORGIA! We learned a lot about what we need to do going forward. Honestly, the polls messed with people's heads as much as Trump's lies did.

8. The Senate is not decided,

Fuck it, sorry, I'm going golfing and celebrating. My 87 year old golfing buddy (he is good) just had a successful operation replacing a valve in his heart and he wants to golf Monday. Life is good, enjoy it.

Hell yeah we won.

I am concerned about one thing; how long will it take to disinfect the White House?

[SmartVoter22]

9. and...

scrape the Big Mac sauce off the Resolution Desk.

I would suspect that the residency upstairs was kept clean by Melania & Barron.

[vercetti2021]

10. Yep

No time to beat ourselves. But I do think we need to change DNC chairman's. Stacy would be absolutely perfect for the job. We gotta get a winning message in red states somehow. Even if we have to find conservadems.

11. Too bad Buttigieg was too new on

the natuonal scene when he ran. In the first debate for chair was when I first saw him. After the first couple of questions I thought: who is this guy? I was impressed.

He has a bigger role to play now in the administration, but he would have been excellent the last years.
