Excuses, excuses. Results matter.
The fact is.. All I have heard on cnn and msnbc is how the blue wave was going to crash and the repubs would be wiped out because they are all a bunch of racist women haters.
A net 31 seats is not a blue wave. Gerrymandering is a game played by both sides. My main disagreement with Dems is socialism. It just doesn't work. Maybe when robots do all the work and we figured out Star trek replicators, but not when real work needs to be done and people need to do it. You can't just take the money from the rich and give it to the poor. The poor will stop working hard, no reason to and the rich will leave, because they can. And sooner or later you will become Venezuela. Who would have thought such an oil rich country could be such a disaster, but socialism has a way of doing that.
Current House gains for Democrats is at 32 seats and rising. Majority of 10 remaining undecided House races are leaning D, so the seats gained is likely to end up between 38 and 40. Given that the number of Republican gerrymandered districts far surpasses the number of Democratic gerrymandered districts (based on R victories just prior to the 2010 redistricting) and it's remarkable Dems flipped as many seats as they did. And sure, you can use Venezuela to make your point about socialistic dystopia, I could use affluent Nordic countries with universal healthcare and free university for every student that qualifies to illustrate that these countries with their rampant socialism don't treat healthcare and education as privileges for the wealthy. Hard work yes, but access to opportunity for all too!
