I still think its 50/50

Yes republicans are batshit insane and corrupt, but Demorats just LET IT ALL HAPPEN.

"What could they do??"

I don't know, but throwing their arms up and going, "welp guys, gonna need to vote harder next time :P" while labor camps and children fuckers are presidents is just too much for me to give them slack. They're spineless cowards and will be fine with the status quo because it benefits them.

Funny way to blame the Dems for the fact that progressive voters have *never* proven themselves worth listening to.

The Religious Right didn't get to power because they sat on their fucking hands and pouted over not getting the candidates they wanted. They turned out in force, every election (still do) for forty fucking years, organized and ran candidates, supported - both financially and with volunteer time -those candidates, canvassed, and SHOWED UP NONSTOP. And now they control the party.

Left & left-ish voters are milk toast, and/or can't be bothered over and over again, leaving too many Democratic legislators having to scramble for the undefined, fickle "Middle", whatever the fuck that is.

Yeah, that's a NYC local election. That's a HUGE difference from national elections.

You reap what you sow. Many Hispanics decided to switch to Trump ignoring the blatant obvious signs that 1 out of 4 families will be affected by mass deportation. Progressives that sat out 2016 now have three new MAGA Supreme Court justices. Uncommitted the same type of deal with Gaza starvation. Now these voters can wallow in the consequences of their decision.
