The ‘Red Wave’ That Wasn’t | The Mehdi Hasan Show
The political echo chamber - especially on the right - was certain a ‘Red Wave’ would not only carry Republicans back into control of the House and Senate, it would deliver them a mandate. In reality, that never happened. Former GOP congressman Joe Walsh, Vanity Fair’s Molly Jong-Fast and Black Voters Matter CEO Cliff Albright join Mehdi to break down the election results. » Subscribe to MSNBC: on.msnbc.com/SubscribeTomsnbc

One lesson from this election: EVERY vote is important. The feeling "I don´t need to vote, my single vote changes nothing" is not true. Half a percent can make a difference.

As a woman in the Philly suburbs, I can say abortion was #1 for many people I spoke to, and we don't talk to polls or just ignore them. This wasn't very surprising.
Credit to all those who came out....Seeing us rally at a time like this is something else! As a millennial, seeing youth play a role in an election for once is incredibly rewarding. Proud of this younger generation especially!

As someone who turned 40 this year and still feels young at heart (especially when it comes to progressive issues), I am very proud of all the young people who turned out to vote for their future. Never, ever, EVER let a bunch of old people tell you that you don't matter. You are far more powerful than you can imagine, and that's what old people clinging on to power know and fear the most. Take it from someone who's just joined the 'old' category and has been fighting them this entire time.

It was a deliberate use of the judicial system to pursue a political agenda.But the courts are not intended for performative litigation for purposes of fundraising and political statements. It is harmful to the rule of law, portrays judges as partisans, and diverts resources that should be directed to real harms and legitimate legal claims. The judiciary should not countenance this behavior and it should be deterred by significant sanctions." - Judge Middlebrook, Florida, Donald J. T---p vs. Hillary R. Clinton et al, 11/10/22

@@laserflexr6321 First of all, they base polls on who voted in previous elections. There have been about a million Covid deaths, and the deaths were much higher in heavily Republican areas than in heavily Democratic ones. That led to an oversampling of Republicans. Second, most polls only contact people who have voted in at least one prior generally election. That meant they didn't pick up on the huge youth voter turnout. Third, the polls didn't measure how much independent women, and to a lesser degree men, were going to vote for Democrats because of abortion rights. Fourth, in the runup to the election, the information space was flooded with polls from farc right little known pollsters. In other words, they flooded the zone with tons of low quality polls that deliberately oversampled Republicans, in order to drive the narrative of a "red wave" and skew the polling average to the right. .

important point here that shouldn't be overlooked, and that is that the repubs took the house likely with the assist of gerrymandering.

As of now, I think Democrats will make it to 50 in the Senate without having to wait for the Georgia runoff. I hope they can defy all odds and keep the House too, but even if they don’t, it might be fun to watch the Republican infighting over who gets to be Speaker.
