    The young bucks aren't as diligent about attribution as us old fucks. Forgive him for he knows not what he does. And, so, don't scalp him or anything.

    Back, the way forwad is to say "@Swaye 'a idiot hyena."
    He sends nudes. I'll never scalp him.

    I think last night was overall a positive for the left. Take the House, plus 6 in governors iirc and lots of progressive initiatives passed. You can claim victory in the senate if you want but the democrats ran a bunch of corporate schill wannabe republicans and got waxed, I’m not taking an L on that.

    All that said if the Dems stick with Pelosi any gains are negated.

    Moral victory in the Senate
    I disagree with your assessment that I’m viewing it as a moral victory. I’ve made it very clear that I would prefer republicans to win vs shitty democrats. The senate races were a bunch of blue dog democrats vs republicans. Look at this guy.

    You think I need a moral victory to be glad that lost?

    Sure in the house there are candidates I didn’t like that won and candidates that I just shrug my shoulders at and think “I guess they’re better than a republican”. I view the overall gains as a positive , having some say in the process for the left, but look at the last thing I said, if Pelosi remains in power ALL gains are negated (I like to put words in all caps to emphasize them, I like to do that). If this isn’t an actual victory, and who the leader of the House is will dictate that, then I’m saying it isn’t right now.

    First I was just fucking around with @CirrhosisDawg but I'll take the hit for a moral victory even though in the context of mid terms it was in fact tied with Reagan for holding seats just like I said

    Using that standard I do think you are consoling yourself on the lack of a Blue Wave. Just my opinion man

    And trumpanzees wonder why they lost yesterday...
    Someone can't read a list

    Tied with Reagan for least seats lost
    This is such a frustration I have with you. The Race Bannon I followed into war would never claim moral victories. I feel like I was fooled and you’re just like everyone else, happy to take moral victories when it suits your agenda.
    I'm not a role model
    We'll be the judge of that.
