Elections Yes, It Was A Blue Wave

Obama was a media darling the first 2 years. Where was the overwhelming media and Hollywood backlash against him to nudge independent voters away from his party?

Obama was hounded by birthers for years, you are fake news.
 
Birthers? Ok, thanks for pointing out how fuckin fringe you are. Rational my ass.

Here is Obama having to hold a press conference about JUST his birth certificate 3 years into his term. A bullshit conspiracy fueled for years by the current fucking President using FOX News and their "reporters" as a pulpit.

Fringe? Fringe my asshole.

 
Come on man you can't possibly believe that's even close to what Trump is dealing with (whether it's deserved or not).

Come on man, you can't possibly believe that Obama had some walk in the park. Unlike Trump, he had actual problems to deal with and an incredibly hostile wing of the press at his throat. FOX News was and still has more rating than the other networks combined.

Well I guess trump can use the same excuse Obama uses for getting fuck all done

Obama added 15 million+ jobs to the economy, provided health insurance to tens of millions of uninsured Americans, took the stock market into record territory it still hasn't come down from, and cut the deficit in half while starting with an economy that was in shambles.

Trump has made a fool of the country on the world stage, alienated us from our closest allies except Israel and Saudi Arabia and then started a trade war with them, shit on multiple international treaties for the sake of it forever ruining America's reputation, nearly doubled the deficit in just two years and still couldn't get shit done while controlling every branch of government down to the state level.

It was, by any historical standard, a blue wave. Democrats look like they’re going to pick up around 38 House seats, which would be the third-biggest gain by any party in 40 years (after Republicans in 2010 and 1994). The Senate moved in the opposite direction, but not by much, and it was a very difficult map for Democrats anyway.


Seems like the Trump-bots were counting their chickens before they finished counting their votes. This is not even considering the gains at the state and local levels.

The Blue Wave™ happened!

it is funny how the democrats expectations of the "Blue Wave" kept shrinking the closer we got to election night.
 
Eventually the democrats will take over America, by immigrant votes.

Trump will only delay the inevitable.

None of this shit really matters in the long term destiny of the country

They decided to retire because the polls were against them. Incumbents don't just retire for no reason. They saw the writing on the wall and retired to save face.
 
Politics can change a lot in a short time, but generally yes, this movement is more sustainable because it's not regressive and it represents more popular values. The Tea Party stuff was also exclusive and insular, while the progressive move is inclusive.

I disagree. The Democratic party's current coalition is a Frankenstein-stitched patchwork of often opposing interests.

One example is the pro-choice voting Bloc versus the Catholic voting Bloc. The Democratic party relies on both, yet they both have very different interests.

What the Democrats have going for them is that those interests differences won't come to a head until the Democratic party gets more power than it currently has. However, when the Democratic party does get more power there's going to be major cracks in the party when the different factions all try to posture for dominance.
