Democrats' chances in the 2022 midterm elections are better than doomsayers predict
Saw this article on MSNBC a few weeks ago- if it helps at all to hear a less negative or not-quite-hopless take on the upcoming midterms:
Anyone else sick and tired of hearing so-called political experts predict that Democrats are going to lose badly in this year's midterms? Apparently it doesn’t matter that in President Joe Biden’s first year, 6.6 million new jobs were reported, the strongest first year of job gains of any president since our government began collecting such data in 1939. Nor does it appear to matter that unemployment is down from 6.7 percent in former President Donald Trump’s last full month in office to 3.8 percent and that wages are up 5 percent over the past year.
There are multiple signs that tell us Democrats could not only hold on to the House but even pick up a few Senate seats.
Pundits tell us it’s an “ironclad” rule — as Fivethirtyeight.com put it — that the president’s party loses congressional seats in midterm elections. Hence, headlines that predict Democrats will lose this November in a “wipeout” and a “bloodbath.” If you listen to these people, you might be tempted to cancel the 2022 election and simply crown the GOP the winners of the House and the Senate............

Spread this far & wide. Especially to new voters, who are often fickle when change doesn't happen quickly or dramatically enough for them.
As much as I want to remain hopeful $6.00+ a gallon diesel is gonna be the reason for the loss . This country runs in diesel, everything we touch from food to goods has diesel used to make or move it.
This price needs to come down to help combat inflation. Hopefully Biden has a team trying to get the price to come down, if they don’t it’s over for my hope that we keep the majorities past the midterms.
