IF Democrats are soooooo Unpopular ................

......... how come they keep winning elections?

"In the second major upset in Pennsylvania special elections on Tuesday night, Democratic State Senate candidate James Malone emerged victorious in the 36th Pennsylvania Senate District, in a district Trump won by 15 points in November. His opponent, County Commissioner Josh Parsons, had been endorsed and backed by Elon Musk.

Malone’s victory shrinks the Republican majority in the Pennsylvania State Senate to 27-23. Earlier in the evening, Democratic State House candidate Dan Goughnour won another upset in House District 35, breaking the chamber’s 101-101 deadlock and restoring the Democrats’ majority.

"Congratulations to Senator-elect James Malone on his shocking, historic special election victory in Senate District 36," DNC Chair Ken Martin said in a statement. "Malone’s victory is a loud and clear rebuke to Republicans’ threats to the programs Pennsylvania families rely on – from Social Security and Medicaid to our public schools."


Malone and Goughnour are just the latest in a special election season that has been dominated by Democrats following the disappointing presidential loss in November. Earlier this year, Democrat Mike Zimmer flipped an Iowa Senate seat in a district that Trump won by 21 points.

Two weeks ago, Democratic-Farm-Labor (DFL) candidate David Gottfried won a special election for Minnesota House, restoring a 67-67 split in the chamber between Democrats and Republicans. Gottfried dominated the race with 70% of the vote, ending a short lived GOP majority and forcing the Republicans to come to the table on a state budget in a power sharing agreement.

Democrat Sean Faircloth also recently won a special election for Maine House District 24 with 72% of the vote, trouncing Republican challenger Carolyn Fish who walked away with 28%; a 44 point victory in a district Kamala Harris won by 23 points.

Democrats have also secured one-seat majorities in the Minnesota Senate and the Virginia House and Senate; protecting against a MAGA takeover. Dems also recently held on to two key seats in the Delaware Senate. "

I think the reckoning will manifest itself first at the state level, before the federal level. Wait for House mid-term elections, half-way through 47's 2d stint -- that'll be telling. Biden did surprisingly well at mid-terms, despite dire predictions. If the people who voted for the price of eggs in 2024 still vote for the price of eggs at mid-terms, the GOP will be in deep do-do.

That was because the world couldn't handle "mean tweets" and those people suffered under crime and all the other problems that blue states apparently love.

Now mean tweets don't have that influence anymore.

You really need to have someone literate read the link in the OP to you; I'd say seat changes which affect who controls a legislative body "matter".

But what is your response to rapists and murdererrs invited to roam streets?

Please tell me, SPECIFICALLY, when and where "rapists and murdererrs" were "invited to roam streets".

Thanks in advance though, as usual, you are way off topic.
