That's an interesting take on the election results, and doesn't really reflect the failure of the Republicans to make any significant wins or headway on any of their issues. Abortion rights were protected. Red states flipped completely Blue (Michigan, in particular). Boebert's defeat is too close to call, but Katie Porter and John Fetterman both won, which is huge.

All the news I see is that the "Red Wave" was nothing more than a puddle... they made a couple of gains, but even Tennessee finally outlawed slavery, and Alabama adjusted their constitution to remove the racist shit.

The breakdowns are really interesting... the youngest voters understood the assignment and showed up, voted for women and progress, and ensured the next two years won't be a lame duck presidency.
