What Tomorrow Holds

[Chojin]

I can't believe this forum got so dead after all this big news ;< What the fuck, people

Well, here's how it works: Nobody really expected this, for whatever reasons, so we've all sort of turtled in to see what somebody else has to say about it. Unfortunately, it'll be about two months before anything happens, so whatever happens between now and then will likely be just regurgitation of some punidts assertion.

It actually speaks highly of those that post here to not have spoken out immediately, in a way.

Speak for yourself, you were the one who said the House wouldn't change.

[kahljorn]

Yes, I'm just waiting to see what happens.

You yourself didn't think they'd take BOTH Houses, didja? ...and I don't see you forecasting what's gonna happen come January.

I think Charles Krauthammer, who I generally detest, put it nicely on this election:

This is not realignment. As has been the case for decades, American politics continues to be fought between the 40-yard lines. The Europeans fight goal line to goal line, from socialist left to the ultranationalist right. On the American political spectrum, these extremes are negligible. American elections are fought on much narrower ideological grounds. In this election, the Democrats carried the ball from their own 45-yard line to the Republican 45-yard line.
