I hope so, but with the Supreme Court gutting the VRA last week, all this gerrymandering might work in the Republicans’ favor.

Careful, Trump’s planning something.

Let’s not jinx our momentum. This administration is playing dirtier than ever.

6 months is plenty of time for them to rig it more.
Don’t get me wrong we can beat them but we can’t celebrate before crossing the finish line.

Don’t pop that champagne until it happens.
Until then, expect the worst, hope for the best. You can count on these monsters doing everything possible to harm us as much as they can.

While I appreciate the sentiment, I think people really need to adjust their expectations about this election.
The problem is that even if Dems win the House, they still don’t have any significant power to pass legislation or serve as a check on the other branches. Hell, they could take the Senate too, and they’d still be subject to veto, and still wouldn’t have the votes to remove anyone from office or hold the other branches accountable.
Most Americans don’t understand that and just stomp their feet and demand that Dems fix things, even though voters have not given them the power to do so.
Then, when they can’t fix things, those people get mad and say that Dems are just performative, or that they’re not representing the people, or they go with the “both sides are the same” nonsense. Then they vote (or refuse to vote) to punish the Democrats, and we’re back where we started.
We’ve seen this so many times. The American electorate IS the problem. I wish there was a way to get them all a basic civics education via TikTok or something.

I hope, I hope, but I do fear gerrymandering and behind the scenes shenanigans. Trump is every American billionaires best friend. They’ll do their best keep him in power.

I love to see those with such optimism and hope, it highlights my permanent cynicism.

Don’t count your chickens before they hatch. A lot can happen in 6 months, and there is a lot of work to be done.

Hate to be a pessimist but I’ll believe it when I see it.

Remember, we all have friends and family who don’t vote and aren’t registered.
Get them to register and vote D.
You voting isn’t enough anymore.

Don’t hold your breath, after all this is the United States! We an Idiocracy, knowing everything that he did in his first term we elected Trump again!! Between the morons who voted for him and the morons who didn’t vote at all or voted third party I’m not confident at all! Remember Americans continually vote for Republicans who give massive tax breaks to the wealthy and corporations and erode the civil and human rights of the citizenry and then leave the country bankrupt then when Democrats get elected to clean up the mess they get blamed and it’s right back to the idiocracy!! The citizens of the USA refuse to implement progressive policies like universal healthcare because they’d rather go without because someone black, brown, female and/or lgbtq might use them!

All I can do is hope now. We’ve fallen down the strongman fascist rabbit home. Trump is a pedophile. Do not comply in advance.

Gerrymandering up the wazhoo, open calls to disenfranchise millions of people. Donald Trump was absolutely right , there is a clear and present danger to the United States, because he’s it.
He’s the sort of asshole the GOP has been gunning for since the Civil Rights Amendment 60 years ago , and pining in one way or another for since the emancipation of slaves 170 years ago.

Life will neuter Trump before the midterms.

He’s disgustingly tripled his wealth with the second presidency. I’m sure he’s not neutered no matter what happens in the midterms.
