Chris Hayes: Three Reasons Democrats Avoided A Red Wave In The Midterms

- Chris Hayes: “There was no red wave. In fact, Republicans severely under-performed for Tuesday's midterms. Democrats severely over-performed. And all kinds of people from all kinds of segments of the commentariat have their idea why. Here’s mine.”

I live in Arizona, am registered Republican, and voted a straight Democratic ticket for the second consecutive election. 11 of my grandfathers and great uncles served in WW2, some in major battles, and some came home with Purple Hearts. I'm not going to betray that legacy by voting for incipient fascism.
EDIT: Hobbs wins! Thank you everyone for your well wishes and support. It was heartening to hear from people outside Arizona and especially outside the USA. Here's hoping for a brighter future for us all.
THANK YOU fellow Arizonan. 💙
Like a breath of fresh air. Thank you. My grandfather thanks you.
Thank you
Australia says thankyou
Patriot!!!
The voters did not want The Handmaid's Tale to become reality. When Oz admitted that he wanted a local politician to be involved in a woman's decision about an abortion, a shiver went through America.
BIRDS OF FEATHERS STICK TOGETHER BUT NOT THIS TIME FOR DR. OZ.
Absolutely. Poll after poll (and now voters) show the majority of Americans support abortion rights.
"Abortion authorization committees" reek of Iran's morality police.
Dude I always refer to handmaidens tale… the last 6 years.
That lost him his chance. Had he shut up and talked about anything else but Dobbs, he would have been far better off. Bringing up Dobbs as a glaring issue was dumb.
I know this is "over sharing" but my wife and I called up our Republican alderman to ask about his opinion regarding our reproductive future.
He hung up.
Turns out, most Americans don't like liars and they care about democracy! 🇨🇦 Canada is proud of you!
Thank you, Lorraine! Best wishes from Vermont, where we love our northern neighbors!
I never, in my 60 yrs., would have believed that we'd be where we are in America. Thank God enough rational Repubs, Independents, young people, etc. fought back! I'm feeling better about my country the past few days! Thanks to our friends in Canada and other Allies for 'holding the line' with us while we BEGIN to rid America of this cancer!
TY!!
This Canadian agrees!
We never did. Trump lost the popular vote twice and only held a trifecta for two years before being swept in the midterms. It's just that now, we are much more alert about it.
As a Republican, I'm glad the Democrats did so well. Too much crazy on the right. Hopefully they get the message and shed the MAGA crap.
I think saving our democracy was the main issue for a lot of true American voters.
I hope you guys get your party back soon. The country needs a rational right and a rational left.
Agreed Jason.
If the GOP had candidates that didn't sound like they were the personification of 4Chan and Infowars. This could have been that red wave.
I'm a moderate Independent who used to vote for who ever seemed the best candidate, irregardless of Party. But not since Trump got on the ticket. I've voted for Democrats ever since and I'll have to until all of the extremists have been culled out.
That's interesting. As a Republican myself, I can agree we need to move away from Trump. 90% of Democrats would rather vote for a monkey than vote for Trump. We're unlikely to win the general election with Trump running as a candidate regardless of how terrible Biden is. However, I find it interesting you don't call out all the craziness from the left and single out the right. Even many liberals/democrats can acknowledge some of their party has gone insane.
Thank you generation Z, to women of all ages to make America, a Democracy again.
I mean im gen z and voted republican the girls in my school are annoying bozos with multiple genders and think rainbow = quirky
Not yet a democracy. It was a strong stand against fascism. We still have to make democracy complete and real. The GOP is still in position to end democracy and cancel it. This is barely a little battle with mid short advances. Is a slow motion gradual power grab in the making.
@@georgefurman4371 there is no democracy to cancel in this country. We are not and have never been a democracy. This was a complete loss for the fascist Democrats.

Yep a big mistake by the gop. But they dont learn a lesson, look they still behind trump. So..
Given that Democrats will probably lose control of the House, I wouldn't say they've done all that great in these mid terms.
@@moeball740 Given we had every historical reason to assume a red wave. The fact that you said they'll "probably" lose the house is a positive sign. The fact that even now its still up in the air, despite it being so stacked against us is a great sign for democracy. Doesn't mean everything went perfectly, but its a sign that not all is lost.
Turns out that we Americans aren't all that ready to become an authoritarian state.
🎉🗳🇺🇸 Hurray for the REAL silent majority!
Well, 40% of voters certainly are ready for the authoritarian state. So we must remain vigilant.
@@lberghaus I still can't wrap my mind around 40%+ of voters in America supporting fascism. Even though they are in the minority I can't believe there are so many of them.
I'm in favor of less federal control and more state control. Which is what Republicans want. They want the power to be in the hands of the people not in the federal government.
I'm actually proud of my country after these midterms. Feels like we're growing up, being inclusive of all, rejecting fascism, racism and homophobia... way to go America
Still don't know what fascism is smh
@@trump45and2zig-zags You should read Umberto Eco's Ur-Fascism essay. It's a very famous and well regarded piece written by a non-leftist who lived under Italian Fascism during WWII, and on the actual left it actually forms the common basis of our understanding of what fascism is. So much so that if you look at how we actually use the word, the majority of the time it's precisely in line with the characteristic features of fascism he lists.
Unless of course you don't actually want to learn and just want to cover for fascism by trying to deny the obvious :)
way better than expected, but still just a small step and a lot of work left
if you reject fascism then you should have rejected the democrat mandates lockdowns and vaccine mandates
@@dvderek a lot of work left to permanently destroy the country...you've done a good job in just two short years

@Sonomacats oh man...I miss McCain. Such an amazing leader and representative.
I think this round of voters who contained 18+ voters who went through a horribly mismanaged covid pandemic during Trump, realized that the government has a huge effect on the average citizen. When handling of tragedy goes wrong, people and children remember.
I belive that too 18-21. Are old enough to understand how these issues affected their families. Enough was enough
I hope this energizes the youth of America to get and stay involved. The decisions our government makes will effect them far more than they will effect the Baby Boomers.
Yes! As a Gen Z, it was having to train how to hide under desks during a practice lockdown in case of an active shooter since kindergarten. The MSD shooting in Florida of my Junior year reinforced that they don’t care about our lives.
All the optimism is encouraging, but it's still so close, it's like teetering on an edge. We need more.
THIS! I keep saying that it's much too soon to celebrate. 😒
Americans need to keep voting like this in every election for the rest of their lives. Not sure we have the stamina (or attention span) I hope I'm wrong.
@@mysticalmargaret6105 Me, too.
I want to address two key points here. One it's not "too soon to celebrate" people are celebrating (or lamenting) the lack of a decisive victory, not a win. If you think this isn't worth celebrating you're naive, as Hayes pointed out there are established tideflows to this kind of thing and this went against all expectations of that, especially since Republicans have validated a cheat-to-win strategy that ensures decisive victories are relatively low effort even for the unpopular candidates in a two party system.
Second "vote fatigue" should not be a thing in a democracy. You're a voter, just do your part. Having said that it would be logically uniform, that is to say voters on both sides will tire at the same time. But - another thing Hayes pointed out - platforms. If one voter base is going to break symmetry and give up, it's not going to be the party whose candidates have suggestions
It’s like this....” If Mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy .” A lot of women were not happy about Roe.
True, I’m a independent but I will never forget that ever. Republicans made a lot of enemies
@@BrayBray78 Same.
I'm wondering too if even a HINT that Republicans wanted to 'make some changes' to Social Security and Medicare might have influenced people voting Tuesday. Terrifies a lot of seniors, that's for sure! But I agree it's mostly what Chris says here.
That continues to be a possibility with this group of Republicans. Don't trust them. There is no such thing as a good Republican...
I think it did, but my friends who are GOP supporters, are still denying that any candidates said anything about the subject, which is the usual thing or Fox watchers
Gen Z overwhelmingly voted blue. Seniors still voted for the devils who would take their SS without losing a minutes sleep.
Not just seniors! I'm within 10 years of eligibility and I most certainly don't want the GOP gutting Social Security or Medicare after I've spent DECADES paying into the program. You know damned well they'd give us a tiny fraction of what we're owed in a scam buyout... if we're lucky. Might just declare it 'bankrupt' and steal those funds for another giveaway to the wealthy.
@@butterbean01 Well, I can definitely tell you this senior has never voted for the devils.
And to those who insist on saying that it's "weird, out-of-touch, elitist" to talk about democracy, ask them if they really want to live in Vladimir Putin's Russia right now.
Excellent take, Chris!!! We cannot be afraid to celebrate the fact that WE, Americans - concerned and civic-minded citizens - came out to reject fascism and theocracy with our VOTE! This matters!! WE uphold Democracy; WE ARE AMERICANS!! We are def all kinds of problematic, but the whole point of this country is having FAITH in a SELF-GOVERNING Democracy, which means having faith in people. We are ONE!! 💞💞💞
another leftist who thinks we are a democracy
@@RobertMJohnson is that an insult? Yeah, bro! I wasn’t born here and even though I know our messed up history; so far, it’s HERE where I’ve grown up and it’s the only place I’ve become. So, for all the issues I take with the US government since its inception - as a vet who takes issue with the military industrial complex - I still feel allegiance to this country.
So, yeah, for all its flaws and the same imperialistic and theocratic leanings, I believe in the possibility of US - the people - pushing for that MORE perfect union.
Call me naive or simply a NOW human who refuses to give up on the ideals that brought me here in the first place, either way, I may be a Lefty but I stand with YOU for the sake of our country! 💞💞💞
I love that they actually got the message that American democracy is an issue for voters. I've seen charts of exit polling and voters biggest issues that neglected to add this issue at all.
.
But they really didn't get the message. Now on their agenda is to suppress the vote even more is to raise the voting age to 21 thats what they learned
Younger/Gen Z voters are another group that showed up in unexpectedly large numbers, and it's not hard to imagine why given that we finally saw the tiniest bit of action on things like climate change, gun violence, cannabis legalization, student debt, etc.
Thanks to Bernie for reminding us to put issues that are important to young people on ballots
Also the deliberate destruction of Roe in a way that opens the door for multiple civil rights decisions to be overturned.
After surviving being in schools that are all of them potential war zones for mass shooters, the Republicans then topped it off by taking away their right to bodily autonomy.
They were attacked directly and they responded to it.
Also, GenZ has grown up online their whole life. They are internet-literate in a way the Boomers are not. They are aware of what's going on, and they are more progressive, and more fed up, than most of the rest of us. They WANT what the Constitution promises them they should have. They WANT a planet that isn't a burning fireball. They WANT a decent, dignified life. They WANT to not be living in a theo-fascist totalitarian hellscape.
So yes. They were directly attacked by the Republican party and it's supporters, and they SHOWED UP to fight back.
So of course, today Republicans started saying they want to raise the voting age to 21. The same Republicans who insist 18 is old enough to buy guns want to deny those same 18 year olds their right to vote - because they don't vote Republican.
Funny how that works. /sarcasm
Gen Z are the brainwashed generation.
I remember when everybody was talking about millennials and we were so cool. Now it's gen Z and I'll be lying if i didn't feel some resentment towards them.
To save the SOUL OF AMERICA and TODAY the young VOTER'S saved AMERICA . 75 yrs old I'm Very Proud of Them.
I was severely depressed and hopeless hearing the predictions of a “red wave.” The night before the election, I watched “Meidas Touch,” and they had a polling expert on who said there would be no “red wave.” He explained why.
I felt somewhat better but didn’t know whether to believe him. Turned out he was right and just about the only person, other than Michael Moore, who denied the “red wave.”
If you watch Meidas Touch, then you're just a plain More---on
Watch the exact same thing and recognized that he was entirely correct slept like a baby that night
the dems are fighting for their lives because the republicans are so close in all the runnings.

Establishment Dems need to start listening to younger voters. They have continuously bailed them out of tight races if only because they aren't deliberately targeting their most prioritized issues.
I agree! I'm 60 and love the younger voters who stand up to the idiots and come out for the good of the country. Go kids! I will stand with you when people my age make derogatory comments about your generation.... Nope!
Everyone has something to learn in politics from everyone else. When you listen to Pelosi, she is worth listening to. She knows how Washington works. "It works lousy," say younger voters? Change the whole system?" Really? Sure you don't want to vote for Trump? That's his goal. "Oh, but we're going to change the whole system for good." Are you sure the system is at fault and not the people in power and the voters who keep electing them?
Americans never seem to want to tackle the root causes of any issue. Congress has the worst approval rating of any part of government. Yet by my count, at the moment, only 14 incumbent members of the House and zero members of the Senate (pending NV, AZ and GA) who were running this November have been voted out. A couple more lost primaries. Everyone hates Congress but no one hates their own reps. That makes no sense. At some point, you have to recognize that your own rep is part of the Congress you hate and bears some personal responsibility for making Congress so dysfunctional. If removing Pelosi, McCarthy, McConnell and Schumer from the leadership were the #1 priority of voters (instead of the price of milk), all they have to do is elect members of Congress who pledge to do so. If they fail to keep the pledge, then they get kicked out in the next election. It's that simple.
Why do I _not_ have the feeling that Pelosi, et al have been grooming replacements, so that there is not a bare-knuckles fight among Democrats when they retire or die, thus weakening the party further? For the last two years, we should have known who the current leadership were prepping as possible replacements. Instead we have to guess who the three new top leaders are going to be or when they will take their positions. Katie Porter? Hakeem Jeffries? Tlaib? Swalwell? Raskin? AOC? Madeleine Dean? Or people the nation has basically never heard of but who are very competent and influential within the caucus? If the GOP wants to fight over who is Speaker/Leader, what jobs MTG and Jim Jordan get, let them squabble in public.
Democrats should be making a smooth transition to create confidence in the new generation of leadership before it takes over. Pelosi has been a brilliant leader, but then so was Bill Clinton. So was Obama. We move on. We don't need to keep the same people in power until they croak. That's what happens in an autocracy, as has been pointed out in reference to Donald Trump's goals. "I alone..." should not be the mantra of a Democrat or any democrat. If Pelosi is the only Democrat among 200 or more, who can effectively lead her caucus, the Democrats have a serious, serious problem, just as the GOP has with McConnell in the Senate.
Corporate Dems need to understand that the party base is changing. Time to evolve and include the Progressives in a more meaningful way if they want to remain relevant and successful as a voting bloc
What or where are young voters not listened to by Democrats? In what areas?
Student loans? Climate?
I am not American so I am just wondering and asking.
@Zeo Macer Young voters have to think about the future because if the establishment dems and insidious reps have their way their future will be a dystopian one with mass droughts, food shortages, and no clean water. They're clearly smarter than you.
GOP: Inflation is rampant, and we must put a stop to it!
Voters: How?
GOP: I dunno. Cut taxes like Liz Truss tried to do?
Liz Truss and her “Trickle down” The right wing economic mantra that claims tax cuts for the rich means money trickles down into higher wages for workers. Hopefully, like Liz Truss, it’s R.I.P
Or oppose the inflation reduction act. They offer no solutions to any of America's pressing problems and it warmed my heart to see so many MAGA Republicans lose their races. Restored some of my faith in humanity.
😂
it could be an astroid on the way and republicans only suggestion would be to cut corporate taxes
We can can shrink the inflation by implementing fair tax share...wealth, rich and low-middle incomers.

I think that, after this analysis Chris Hayes should be invited to dine on holidays at the adults' table.

Thanks, Chris, this was excellent, and most convincing.
I've learned that there are a couple of MSNBC hosts worth listening to, and others are a waste of time. Chris Hayes, Lawrence O'Donnell, Rachel Maddow. Sometimes Ali Velshi. But not a lot else. Some of their White House correspondents ask the dumbest questions.
no red wave since 2010
Ari Melber is useful for legal takes, given his background as a prosecutor. Some of his other stuff is less interesting.
@@pamelawhite5672: In my opinion, your list should about three times as long, but in matters of taste, arguing is pointless. Personally, I look for a variety of traits among the hosts (on MSNBC and elsewhere), such as: intellect, passion, compassion, humor, wit, voice, the ability to ask questions and either follow them up or ask for explanations, and letting guests talk rather than be the Main Talker on the show. This is not an exhaustive list, of course.
In spite of a seemingly endless barrage of unrealities I agree @Waggish Sagacity ~ it's easy for people to forget that sometimes the "Individual" is better than the organization they work for irrespective of reach, magnitude or pay scale.
How do you miss the wall to the red wave. Gen Z showed up and voted dem at such a high rate they have to be the top reason can't we say thank you to this group of folks.

Excellent reporting Chris 👍 thank you for your truthful take and common sense assessment!
I was so incredibly anxious going into this election. The press harping on the “red wave” did get to me, against my better judgement. I feel so much more hopeful today, because it’s obvious that there are still sane Republicans out there who repudiate what Trump attempted. If there weren’t, we’d be talking about that red wave today.
Watch Beau Of The Fifth Column or Medias Touch - they called the polls being bs long before anyone else did because they aren't beholden to billionaires.
You are obviously not that Amy Barrett. You are sane.
Amy, I am just happy to see that some people went beyond political parties to vote against Facism. The Big steal lie has created so much carnage, hatred, violence and division.
I hope we are headed in the right direction.
of course you were anxious. They know that and focus on fear. Same as 2020. "Get trump out or we all die of covid". People seldom notice politics is all about emotional manipulation. Finding that one topic to push through fear at election time
Nice! Great reporting Chris as usual!
Protecting American democracy from the Fascists was my NUMBER ONE issue on Tuesday. Nothing else even came close, and I voted for a straight Democratic ticket (even for judges, who are ostensibly "nonpartisan," but do the research).
Apparently enough of my fellow Michiganians (I'm not a "gander") felt the same way, because the Democrats flipped BOTH the state House and Senate, and in January will control both for the first time since the 1980s. Also, we voted overwhelmingly to pass a CONSTITUTIONAL protection for reproductive rights (proposal 3), despite the incessant lies of the opposition. Oh, and we also re-elected our Democratic Governor, Secretary of State and Attorney General. A great night for Michigan!
This is the best hopium I've had in a while, I can feel my shoulders relaxing
Democracy!
Thank you to all who voted blue and bought America back from the brink.
Great analysis!!
Because those who really care, care.
Between the orange man and Roe vs Wade. It was a bridge to far for them. 😂🤣😂🤣
The Meidas Touch on UA-cam had it right the whole time! They kept me sane through this election!
I did my best to ignore the polls but I didn't boo I voted
The Republican party I joined when I was 18 doesn't exist any more. Fiscal responsibility, National security are not even remotely on the radar of current Republicans. Now we are stuck with a Supreme Court so out of touch with America that its frightening.
I was so afraid that there was no penalty in law for the traitorous insurrectionists, and that there would be none politically either. Apparently, my fellow citizens are smarter than publicized.
Too many people won reelection to Congress despite trying to protest the electoral count vote on Jan 6th. But it's heartening that so many new wingnuts seem to have failed abjectly at gaining public office. Especially for secretary of state and governor positions, crucial to the 2024 election and beyond.
Eh. Some of us.

My prayers were answered by the results of the mid-terms. When DJT was POTUS, I experienced extra stress every day as I heard or read his lies and absurdities and was consistently appalled by the ignorant MAGA supporters who accepted his malignant narcissism and sociopathy as "normal." He brazenly emulated Hitler's public speaking methods, likely a result of the influence of people like Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller, embracing the passage in "Mein Kampf" ("My Struggle," authored by Adolf Hitler), “… all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan. As soon as you sacrifice this slogan and try to be many-sided, the effect will piddle away.” So, we incessantly heard "rigged" and "fake news" and "socialists" and "the election was stolen," etc. The more he repeated the lies and the bigger the lies were, the more his undereducated MAGA base lapped it up. The attempted coup at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021 was the greatest attack on our democracy since Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, yet Trump and his minions sought to downplay its ugly violence at every opportunity, cravenly refusing to accept accountability. The mid-terms of 2022 have restored my faith that there is a silent majority of sane Americans who want to preserve our beloved and envied democratic republic and who refuse to allow white Christian nationalists to impose their misogynistic, racist and puritanical beliefs upon an entire nation diverse in religion, race and socioeconomic status.
Well said. Democracies everywhere breathed a sigh of relief. The USA is the leader of the free world
I'm glad to hear this, that we're not completely running off a cliff. Inflation and other economic woes come and go but democracy is way too important and fragile.
As imperfect as it is and our justice system has been shaky... it would be a disaster for the world if America became autocratic.
Love your passionate yet fair reporting. Thanks for giving it to us straight.
Great commentary Chris. Your three legs of the stool explanation was spot on helping to explain why there wasn’t a red tsunami as the right wing predicted
I could say there was a fourth leg, the unlikely young voters who turned out in droves, but that's mostly a result of the Dobbs decision, I guess--with a helping of climate change concerns.
@@serendipityshopnyc even though I’m way over my childbearing years, I knew overturning Roe and what ensued and the legal BS that states like Texas pulled that women would have an even bigger turnout than usual
Awesome report Chris 👍
Control is control. We have to get the GOP out of Congress. Period.
GOP= 👹 and everyone to voted for them! 🤮👎
Thank you, Chris Hayes, for your work, your persistence, your resilience, your understanding, and your vision. We just heard that the Senate will stay Democratic. Your work on UA-cam has contributed to this victory and its ensuing stability. You are precious, your work means more than gold.
Money comes and go, democracy is precious at any time in history . I don't mind paying more at the pump , for a limited time but I'll be demn if I have to trade my freedom for a few dollars
Inflation stabilized today. Biden is good.
Bravo to you Chris. Well Said, amazing, beautiful and democratic.
Thanks Chris, always putting it where the goat’s can get it.
Good piece of analysis.
Good reporting Chris, educate the people.
it was a pink drip
And yet it cost the Democrats the house and the senate.... 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
The chlamydia wave?

Not the Senate. Dems kept the Senate, & Biden has Executive Order to overrule the House.

Pleasantly surprised with the outcome of the midterms. I’d be van happier if Katie Hobbs can hold off Kari Trump Lake. I do think the polls on “democracy” are heard to read as both sides may feel there is a threat on democracy, and the polling that states americas feel democracy is secure may be those that feel the election was fair but may also feel there is an attack from the right.
I think it's great that some states are adding abortion rights to their constitution especially Kentucky.
And extreme Right Wing Montana!
@@mytwocents848 Surprisingly, Montana elects Democrats more than much "flyover" country. They like the idea of federal land for hunting and grazing and Republicans want to privatize it all. Montanans are unusually aware of environmental protection, and that is totally Democratic territory. If Dems were to shut up about gun control, Montana could turn blue, easily.
And so came and went the mighty red blip :)
Im a conservative. I voted blue up on down. Democracy was on the ballot alot of my friends cannot support election deniers. And trump is toxic. Dump him already
Chris and crew. You all did a great job.
Now go home. Get some rest. 🇺🇸
Thanks to the voters who cared about democracy!
Cause I was scared...
This nation showed its true colors!
Basically the Republicans
may have learned something about democracy...but...who knows...
@0:13 definitely thought Chris dropped the F-bomb for a second 🤣🤣🤣
Me too! 😂😂😂
Let's give some credit to the VOTERS, who chose democracy over autocracy. For those who did not choose democracy (Texas and Florida I'm talking to you) please enjoy having your rights slowly eroded away ball in the name of owning the libs
In Florida boomers are going the way of the world. In 2 years we'll have more Gen Z voters so I am hopeful!
Texas isn't all red...just wait for 2024.
@@ronnieking3848 sir, I sincerely hope that you are correct, but my philosophy particularly about politics is hope for the best but plan for the worst. Good luck
@@thehylers1021 I hope that you are correct, I just believe that y'all need to recognize that DeSantis, Marco"box of rocks"Rubio are firmly entrenched and it's going to take a whole lot of hard work starting tomorrow to bring them down in 2024.
Chris, you Rock!
There is a possible light at the end of this current tunnel that the United States finds itself! This is heartening! 🙏
Marvelous chris
People in a free Democracy are happy because they're free to do as they please, with limitations. Why does this freedom anger Americans or un-settle them in their daily lives? Does an American have to be under pressure to perform well or in general? NO. Just live your lives as you please and don't fear your fellow-Americans but approach them how you'd approach family members and friends: with respect and companionship. Work together, folks 💯💯
Tracks like this will someday be used as historical records, in classrooms. ♥
fingers crossed~~~Love and light world~~~
They'll be crushed by red wave.
Love your speech!!!!🙂👍
The Dems did a great job in the mid terms. We need at least that much energy for 2024.
I love you Chris. Thank you. Well done!
Hi Chris Hayes!!! My O My How great a man you have become!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉
Chris is clear and accurate, as usual
It is such a relief to know there are patriots in both parties who voted for democracy. I'm left and have always voted that way, but if Democrats in power tried to disrupt a lawful election, I would do everything in my power to vote them out.
I'm still scared GQP is going to take the house and possibly senate anyway...
Yep, it seems the Republicans will retake the House and it’s on a knife edge for the Senate. If the republicans take both it will be incredibly hard for Biden to then pass any legislation going forward.
What’s staggering is that it was NY infighting between the left and moderate democrats that lost them 6 seats which will end up costing the Democrats the House.
They should be ashamed of themselves for concentrating on their petty grievances against each other rather than focusing on stopping the republicans!!
Fantastic. Your thinking is on the money. Thank you for your honesty and clarity! You are one of the absolute best along with Meidas Touch.

Meidas Touch? You mean three weirdo brothers? No thanks. Jordy is a racist. Plenty videos of him spouting n-word this, n-word that. They’ve been exposed as hypocrites.
Try Brian Tyler Cohen or David Pakman instead 😉
Love me some Meidas Touch 👏
JUSTICE has been SERVED on Tuesday ..
Well summed up Chris Hayes.
Another ticketsplitting example could be Pennsylvania. My county voted for Dr. Oz over Fetterman, but voted for Josh Shapiro over Doug Mastriano. I know Oz was Trump endorsed, but I didn’t hear him screaming the election was stolen and looking to make changes to the voting process like Mastriano. Was probably more the celebrity factor.
Great job Americans, you got it done. Your friends in Canada 🇨🇦
Turns out that we Americans are not stupid!
Michael Moore was right ☝️🙂
The three reasons are roe, roe, roe! Your vote!
Chris Hayes, you are the best.
And the World breathes !!!
Spot on Chris!
