Democrats are poised to win the midterms. But it’s only because voters want to send a message: they’re angry at the Republicans for not using their majority to improve their quality of life. Democrats are just as likely to ignore the anger of the voters—and face their wrath in the not-too-distant future.

A SAD, TED FALSE EQUIVALENCY ALERT!!!!
As a long-time Green Party supporter, I have to admit that, lately, there ARE some trustworthy Democrats emerging–generally, the ones the DNC primaries and otherwise fights tooth and nail, including seducing them into joining the untrustworthy majority of the party, where all the easy money is.
I don’t know why anyone’s even getting hopeful anymore. Even if the dems get 80 seats in the Senate and 280 in the House, they won’t do anything with it. That isn’t even me trying to be glib or cynical. It’s a predicted based on everything I’ve seen the democrats, uh, “do,” when they have been in power.
You’re probably right.
I’ll let Margaret Kimberly speak for me.

Democrats do some things right. But even for those who disagree with that, perhaps you’d agree that they do fewer things wrong than the current Republicans. There are good people whom I wish were on the ballot but, even though they are not, it is still easy to figure out how to vote this November.
