Rough night for Dems 1 year after the attempted coup was launched" I won stop counting the votes". Hard to believe its been that long.
Yet Virginia which Biden won by 10 points easily elected a Republican's Governor for their first statewide office win in 12 years. They took the state legislature for the first time in forever. Even more shocking than the trend of utter collapse in a purple/blue state the new Jersey Governors race is too close to call. Another observation was that after Younkin embraced Trump in the primaries he froze him out, didn't allow him to rally and on election eve when Trump held telephone rally Younkin said on air "i'm not associated with that". I still find the flip flopping despicable but I am also encouraged the party may have a path beyond trump. Either way in Seattle , Minnesota, all around the country shocking upsets occurred.
But this is about the party that won the presidency with "not Trump". We in the center wanted a coherent coronavirus response, we wanted competence, dignity. We have gotten a better coronavirus response and a more dignified representation of the office as the recent summit showed. That's about all I've seen I like. Polls show independents as i consider myself overwhelmingly supported Biden but have soured badly. We dont regret trump being gone however.
We did not want a pell mell willy nilly race to the left which seemed to happen from day one. Losing seats in the house and a 50 50 senate is not a mandate. The came Afghanistan which fair or not was the moment the veneer of competence and empathy was stripped away from Joe Biden never to return IMO. Then the supply chain issues, shortages, inflation, whacked job market. Not all that is Bidens fault but its how it goes. a commander in chief almost as dishonest as his predecessor, cant stay awake even on TV, cannot talk with a teleprompter half the time(and dont get into Reagan with me RD this is far worse than dozing off in private policy meetings after 8 years as great president). Frankly I'm ready for Kamala as commander in chief.
I'm not remotely happy with the policy direction of the president, the ineptitude keystone cops in the congress(forget about it now nobody's voting for his agenda)
I don't mind the shot across this administrations bow.
