'18 Midterms: Dems win House by largest midterm raw vote margin ever

[ExodusNirvana]

I'm so tired of the good with the economy, the previous Republican adminstration oversaw the worst economic crash since the great depression. The current adminstration just added nearly 2 trillion to the deficit with the new tax plan. But hey people are bringing home an extra $30 a paycheck so they must be good with the economy

I'm just stacking...cause I know that next recession is coming breh I can FEEL IT

I keep telling cats...I graduated RIGHT when the shyt started. The next one is going to be unpleasant to watch...

Ya'll were WARNED

I looked at the actual poll data. The shift is all from white men cacs shifting toward supporting Republicans.

Surprise, surprise.

That strategic placement I guess. No shame.

Pelosi says she'll run for speaker as more swing-district Democrats look for alternative

And just like that, the Dems might've just lost the midterms.

I wish Pelosi would allow another person to step up but I'd still rather her be Speaker of the House over Kevin McCarthy or Steve Scalise .

Personally I don't really have much against Pelosi, but at this point she's a Republican boogeyman that'll just mobilise their voters. She polls horribly and now Republicans have somebody to attack in their ads.

Even though it's mostly unwarranted, I still wish she'd just do what's best for the rest of the party and hang it up.

I agree but we literally can't do anything about it.

Also, even if Pelosi did step aside, Republicans would just make that new Democratic leader a boogeyman as well. That's the GOP tactic.

Pelosi is incredible at whipping up votes. I'm really worried if/when she does step down we'll end up with a speaker who can't corral all factions of the Democratic Party together in the house.

Prior to Nov 2016, I would've agreed with you

Pelosi is one of the most successful Dem speakers in congressional history

Andrew Cuomo is a terrible Democrat—but we can replace him with a true progressive, Cynthia Nixon

Cuomo, though nominally a Democrat, has spent his entire tenure in office thwarting progressives, propping up Republicans, and coddling the one percent at the expense of the millions of New Yorkers just struggling to make it. And his failings have had national implications, too: Rather than lead the resistance to Trump’s agenda, he’s cowered before the president.

A complete list of Cuomo’s sins would be impossibly long to recount in full, so instead we’ll offer some of his darkest lowlights:

• He repeatedly promised to veto any gerrymanders when he first ran for office but then signed off on the GOP’s dream maps.
• He's neglected New York City’s subway system, which he’s in charge of, and let it crumble into disrepair—all while trying to place the blame on anyone but himself.
• He brokered a backroom deal in which a group of turncoat Democrats abandoned their party to give control of the state Senate to Republicans, allowing them to block all manner progressive legislation for years.

That last bullet point alone could keep us occupied for days: Cuomo’s unholy alliance with the GOP has prevented passage of bills to expand voting rights, protect access to abortion, establish a state-level DREAM Act, implement genuine ethics reform, and so much more. And it’s been a deliberate choice, too, because Cuomo is simply hostile to progressive aims, and with Republicans in charge of a key choke-point in the legislature, he’s never had to sign liberal laws that would make him uncomfortable.
