Do you believe in climate change/global warming?

if they get house and senate majorities and win back states in the midterms, they could, potentially and dems have never been below gerrymandering (though never to such ridiculous extends as the reps during the last 6 years)

but in the current climate of the president spewing lies 5 times a day online, selling order signings as passing legal legislation (pretending that's what getting things done means), slandering the media to ridiculously degrees, republicans creating some of the craziest dirty adds in recent history (check those anti-ossoff ads), gerrymandering in many states absolutely on their side, it might literally become impossible for democrats to win future elections.
unless they sink as low as the gop does. and honestly, if they did, what would be the point?

They have been on a downward spiral since obama got elected

Even the past 4 special elections they went 0-4, its not going to change looking at it currently unless something happens to stop it. But the corruption will continue...

Can we just wait to talk about the 2018 midterm elections please until 2018? I live in Georgia north of Atlanta and I had to listen to all the bullshit about handel and ossoff for months on end in the special election. And when I left the state for vacation it was plastered all over national news, there was no escaping it. I also don't think either one was fit for the job, with ossoff not even living in the district and getting almost all his money from outside of Georgia and handel having a lot of bad claims about her past being thrown at her throughout the election.

Its been getting national coverage particularly on liberal msm because they think it will start their whole trump resistance movement and so far there has been nothing to show for it, the recent special election for example the ossoff campaign the money spent was crazy (alot of it coming from rich people in california and new york) people who have no interest in the people who actually live there and just want a democrat to win.

Pretty much I agree with you. However it wasn't just on all the liberal outlets, it managed to make it onto freaking conservative ones also. I even saw coverage on everyone's favorite news source, fox news. There was no way of escaping it. Also some of the attack ads on ossoff we're hilarious. Particularly the truth strikes back and the California's/San Francisco's congressman ones.

This can be attributed to several factors:

• A president's party almost always loses seats in midterm elections.
• In part because of the above fact, Republicans did very well in 2010. Because that was a census year, they gerrymandered the redistricting process to give Republicans a general advantage for ten years.

That's why in 2012, for example, Republicans won 54% of the House seats while only getting 48% of the vote (Democrats earned 49% of the vote). If we focus on a heavily gerrymandered state like Pennsylvania in 2012, Republicans won 72% of that state's House seats while only getting 49% of the vote (Democrats earned 50% of the vote).

Even the past 4 special elections they went 0-4, its not going to change looking at it currently unless something happens to stop it. But the corruption will continue...

While the losses are disappointing to Democrats, these special elections were in conservative strongholds. The fact that they were competitive should be disconcerting to Republicans. In other words, if deep red districts were competitive, what does that say about the future of light red and purple areas?

ok, first off, considering ossoff ran in a state that was deep red for 40 years, getting as close to the majority as he did, was crazy, even if you considerr the money spent. and if it wasn't for ads such as this:
meant to scare joe everyman into action, he probably would have made it, even if it would've been close regardless.

yes, the dems have lost a lot of seats once they got in the white house. and it probably has everything to do with the republican party aggressively pursuing those seats and governorships in a very coordinated team effort.
the one thing the gop has over the dems is, they all get together and multiply the same (if not always true) message when it comes to their party and their politics. unlike the dems, that do have a tendency to, at times, stand against one another, the gop together with the fox network manage to throw out one talking point coordinated from one day to the next. literally, they know very well how to exploit humanity when it comes to campaigning.

the dems don't. which is why some, like say, bill maher, keep calling for dems to put on the brass knuckles too, to fight as dirty as them, to make it a gang effort.

also, its not exactly uncommon for the party in the whitehouse to lose seats in the midterms. its an almost crazy epidemic in us politics. its unfortunate though, that of all people, donald trump could be the one in power when that stops being the norm.
many a policy was stopped because the party in the white house was not the party in the senate and house (and the party in the senate and the house has always had an interest in stopping the one in the white house from getting things done, so they could campaign on their inability to get things done)
however, as it stands, trump might be the president to not get things done despite his party being in absolute power, so...

really, as an outsider looking in, i just hope enough of you guys notice when you're conned in time. i mean, jesus, there wouldn't have been a holocaust or WW2 if hitler had acted just half as crazy on his way to power.

Even without those types of ads he probably would've lost imo. From what I saw the main thing that ultimately stopped him from getting the seat was the fact that he was an "outsider" who didn't live in the district and didn't have a lot of experience. And also iirc the presidential election there had a 1% difference with Republicans edging it out. So the district could've easily been won I think by the Dems if they had a different candidate that lived in the district and had much more experience, because handel was a weak opponent but ultimately ossoff was even weaker in my eyes.

Yeah, it's called seasons.

Yeah, it's called seasons.

Seasonal changes are not climate changes. Seasons changes are temporary changes based on a hemisphere's general location/position from the sun. Climate is the fixed weather patterns for that location. Basically locations getting all 4 seasons like the Norther part of the Americas are expected to get set patterns in their seasons according to their climate. Climate change on the other hand is when these patterns are broken and the seasons no longer change properly, examples being that these same locations are now getting shorter winters compared to previous years. Although this is a very basic explanation and doesn't do justice for the topic as whole.

People who dont believed the change are the fools.
