When everyone was looking, the Democrats flipped 40 seats. They flipped 40 seats. That's as many as four tens. And that's wonderful.

When the Mega-Tsunami comes in 2020 and we end up with a Blue House, Senate and Kamala Harris POTUS and Lizzy Warren VP, the Trumpers can take credit for making it happen.
When that happens, I will be the first person to blame Republicans. If they did not run such an awful candidate for president, I would not have been forced to vote the way I did. It is all their fault, really.

Oh dear, seems Republicans might be at it again: Democrat Dan McCready withdraws concession in North Carolina House race amid fraud allegations
McCready got 905 fewer votes than Republican Mark Harris in the 9th District race. But the state elections board has refused to certify the results as it investigates potential misconduct with absentee ballots, making it the last undecided House contest in the country. The board could ultimately order another election. -snip
"I didn't serve overseas in the Marines to come home to NC and watch a criminal, bankrolled by my opponent, take away people's very right to vote," McCready tweeted. "Today I withdraw my concession and call on Mark Harris to end his silence and tell us exactly what he knew, and when." -snip
His reversal comes as the state elections board, as well as local and state prosecutors, investigate whether Leslie McCrae Dowless, a veteran operative in Bladen County who was hired by a consulting firm the Harris campaign paid $400,000, altered absentee ballots or collected them from voters but never turned them in.
Dowless earned more than $23,000 working on six campaigns dating back to 2010, and in most of those races, Dowless' candidates received a disproportionately higher percentage of absentee votes in Bladen County.
Dowless has not returned CNN's requests for comment. He has denied any wrongdoing to The Charlotte Observer. -snip

Calm your little sensitive heart.
Yet you didn’t address the problem.
Both sides are playing puppet masters, and we’re the puppets. We know they lie, yet we care more about 1 uping each other just because you feel you have to hate the other side just because of their different political views.
Why not put your party to the wringer instead?

Because, ideologically you choose a party and it would be pointless to attack the party you have more in common with.
I could not disagree more.
If you like the basic platform of a political party, you should care even more about making that party successful. Facing the microscope inward and demanding perfection.
There's definitely nothing wrong with criticizing your own "team."
However, what IS wrong is ignoring the problems with your "team" and only focusing on the problems or fabricating problems with other team. It shows how very dysfunctional and hypocritical one is if they do these things.
FYI, I do not like Dems and I do not like Republicans. I do not identify as either party.

I disagree. Modern Democrats are much more disgusting than the GOP despite the fact that I agree with more of the Dem platform than GOP. It's the hypocrisy, extreme lengths of character assassination they are trying, and the fact that they are corportists warmongerings with many outdated ideas just like the GOP.
At least with the GOP, I know that they are xenophobic, sometimes sexist, and sometimes racist. The Dems are exactly the but they pretend they are not. The Democratic Party: shitty just like the GOP with the added layers of hysteria and hypocrisy! Yay!

The two parties are not equally scummy in the USA. It's the same in the UK
I know more than probably most Americans about UK politics but I must say, as an outsider looking in, your parties ebb and flow with who leads in scumminess.
Originally posted by SquallXI said I do not trust the politicians so quit trying to pretend I did not. My life does not revolve around politics. Human nature is for those who have power to try to retain it so this has always been the case.

There's a pattern:
A) Shit continuously on the opposition party/people
B) If/when you own party/party you identify with more does something shitty go to C)
C) Claim both parties are shit for 'X' amount of time
D) When enough time has passed, go back to A) and vigorously continue until B) happens again and repeat
This has had a huge resurgence since Trump and with Trumpers.

They are either being hypocrites by ignoring their "sides" actions or they legit don't see it. I'm not sure which would be worse.
