Sweeping Democratic victories in off-year elections seem to be foreshadowing a very good midterms for the party, and one expert believes it’s even bigger than that.

“This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to fundamentally transform legislative power,” Heather Williams, president of the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC), which focuses on electing Democrats to statehouses, told Mother Jones.

    I’ve got money that says Dems wont reclaim more than one house in 2026 due to their own milquetoast incompetance. Let alone a winning sweep in 2028

    Surely the Dems wont blow this on some terrible tactical decision around optimizing corporate and foreign government bribes, ignoring what their constituents want, and reflexively beating up their left flank.

      Yeah, when the Midterms are over, it will be time to get rid of Jeffries and Schmuck Schumer. If the Dems take one or both Houses, then it’s time to go to war, and these dipshits aren’t in the game. They let the four years of the Biden administration go by without firing a shot, and that can’t happen again.

      No kidding, if the next Dem administration is just a repeat of the Biden administration, instead of a full-blown crushing and purging of MAGA, and MAGA ends up back in power, I’m leaving. Not kidding. I don’t see the point of staying here, caring, fighting, protesting, writing, etc., if the people we appoint to fight for us simply refuse to do it.

      I’ll just retire to an island or beach somewhere, and watch America burn down from a distance. My family is already talking about it, and comparing options.

        Woah, expecting representation in exchange for your vote? Sorry buddy, this purity test is unreasonable. Dont you know that governing is hard? Of course you dont because youre not in the big club.

        Now suck on nanci Pelosi’s toes with the biggest grin you can muster or else you will be labeled a Russian bot by our finest record correctors.
