First one to 218 wins
Most votes in a district wins the district
Have you heard about their electoral college? They don't count the majority of votes. Each state has a "weight" and then a guy who represents the state goes and cast the vote and in some state he isn't even obligated to vote like the state voted lmao
If too much red, democracy was a mistake and we need Hillary Clinton to stage a putsch. Also Russian trolls hacked the election.
If too much blue, the system works.
Top ten to lose win, then reverse
then why do the democrats already have a tick?
Either everyone is retarded or I am
seething
probably everyone else is. you can't be retarded.
Currently in the lead
My solidly red state elected a dem as governor. I don't know how I feel.
Most likely because blacks are voting for once
and women and gay people
State is like 7% nog
Done
(((((the system works)))))
NO NO NO NO MY FELLOW DRUMPFTARDS WTF THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A #REDWAVE THIS ISN’T FAIR
Tbh it's the GOPs fault for not keeping Trump on a leash. Tf did they expect with him pissing off more than half the nation
Maybe your state is gayer than you thought
You're wrong
Trump is the only reason the GOP was able to not only hold on to the Senate, but beat everyone's expectations
All the people that lost today were moderates who turned their backs on Trump
Yikes that's pretty bad. What state is this?
I'm upset my state voted another republican for governor. The water quality is getting worse
So because their Reps were moderate they all voted Democrat?
It's their fault for preventing him to build the wall and carry out his main campaign promise.
You can join your friends in the circular firing squad here.

Are you Kansas?
GOP shouldn't have selected a full Drumpftard candidate.
KS
>circular firing squad
Nice
Guess we just love our spic infestation
No, I'm saying anyone who isn't praising Trump won't be able to energize Republican voters
Kansan here and I;m glad it was her turn
seething
Our current system of government is some unholy mixture of pre-Civil War and post-Civil War ideals. Before the war, each state was supposed to be like its own little nation and so the collage existed to give the smaller ones a way to have a voice alongside the giant ones. However, after the Civil War, we began to shed the concept of being a conglomeration of different states and started transferring more power to the federal government to increase the Union's stability.
That only applies to presidential elections
House of representatives is based off population
Every state has 2 senators.
You vote people. Not that hard
>spic infestation
An influx of Hispanics would be a net gain for that flat redneck hellhole
but why the fuck is everyone calling it for dems when there are still 57 seats left?
>but beat everyone's expectations
They picked up 2 seats, which was an 80% chance on almost every single analyst poll that wasn't retard tier propaganda site.
Just buy an InfoWars™ water filter
Cause there are enough that are expect to go one way
Not you got cucked. We don't go up there cause there's fuckall to do so we stay in Texas and still voted for our amigo Gov Abbott
Projections.
If you need 10 seats to win and you have 9 seats in San Francisco and 2 in LA still left to count, you can pretty much just call it then and there.
Dems will sweep a lot of the remaining seats in the west, more than enough of those are in such hard leaning Dem areas that their victory is assured.
of course, you guys often cause problems
fair enough - I've been watching it the whole day on my other monitor and it appears to be a bvery tight race. I was just surprised they would call it with 50 seats left in the hat
What's the point when there's algae in the pipes
Cali has the most seats in the nation and they are pretty blue so that would explain it
Don't feel bad, I'm from Utah which is usually extremely reliably red but all the fucking Californians that keep flooding here all voted blue.
>Californians ruining Montana, Utah, Colorado, Alaska, and now Idaho
What will they tarnish next?
because they're predicted to win the house
Hopefully Florida
They've fucked Austin here in Texas pretty bad already.
>tarnish
*improve, you should be grateful for our superior presence
Democrats didn't win the house officially
The Dakotas and Nebraska
These retarded fucks are making my state turn blue. I can't state how many of these commie fucks I've met here. They all moved after the election in 2016 too
North Dakota
New Hampshire
Nebraska
Missouri will one day be the only safe state in the union, because nobody wants to live there
beto hasn't officially lost yet easier but analysts who probably know more than you or me are calling it
and before anyone says anything calling a race mid-race is not the same as predicting hillary will win before a race
>*yet either
3 seats actually and a bunch of governors
Ok did Ron desantis win Florida??
How terrible, your red state hellholes might actually become decent places to live in a few decades
Fuck off commie retard
that's what every major news outlet from cnn to fox is saying
Fuck man how could you not vote in Beto. I thought Texans were not retarded? Cruz is a garbage person.
Technically he has. The few districts left don't exactly vote straight Democrat
The entire national media started sucking his dick so he swerved further and further to the left to get more money from rich libs in CA and NY instead of actually focusing on his home state.
Moron.
considering texas is usually deep, DEEP red the fact that it was as close as it was was good news
I mean, consider that suspected pedophile (something that's usually social poison the INSTANT allegations come up) roy moore actually had a close race in alabama, it isn't easy to make predominantly rural states vote democrat
Thank the God Christ!*
It was a pipe dream for him to win. But he did something extraordinary and make Republicans vote Democrat for once in their lives
Why are Kansas-anons angry that they elected a Democrat, Brownback was a fucking fail.
>Rightie getting triggered
Don't worry it will be over soon
broke: voting in a candidate based on their past histories and policy
woke: voting in a candidate because they're part of your sports team
texan here. beto actually campaigned much harder locally than cruz, holding rallies and town hall meetings throughout the entire state. with the national publicity you mentioned, i wouldn't be too surprised if he runs for the democratic nomination in 2020.
>Not voting libertarian across the board
>senate democrats
>-2
dems couldn't be more inept if they tried
What?
We were gonna lose those seats and NV and AZ haven’t been called yet
I predict 47-53
The majority of seats up for grabs were in states with Democratic senators that voted Trump in massive numbers. It's no surprise what happened considering every trumptard came out of the woods to vote
AZ has no chance of going blue
It'll be 54-46 at least
Kansan here and I'm elated to see Kobach lose, Brownback was shit and he would be more brownback
Kobach was gonna be more of browncuck's style
Is losing more of senate a big deal when you win house? I'm a total noob when it comes to US politics.
Yes but it's not as big of a deal as losing majority in one of the houses
It sucks but having the house makes up for it since now dems can do stuff like request trump's tax returns and issue subpoenas
Look at all thos young, successful college educated folks in cities. You must be a seething rural faggot
If one party doesn't control both, the nation is locked into stagnation until the next election because each will keep cockblocking each other.
That was only a recent happening, largely due to McConnell being a faggot. He started this bullshit with his incessant blocking bullshit when Obama was president.
>commie commie commie commie commie
God I wish they were actual Communists, your dumb ass would get gulag’d
No state has gained from increasing numbers of spics.
>You lose the house and the majority of domestic committees go to the opposite party
>You lose the senate and you lose the power to sign treaties and international deals along with appointing judges
>you lose either or and you can't get any legislation passed without compromise
Good, otherwise obongo could have done real damage.
so in the end who won?
Will Trump be cockblocked until 2020 or not?
>McConnell being a faggot.
Guess it is our turn to be the faggot
haha yup can't wait for tech bro yuppies to keep driving up housing prices pricing, congest our roads and parks, and dilute & sterilize our local culture. but hey it's all good as long as our GDP keeps going up rite??
people having healthcare, the environment being clean and schools not getting shot up is “real damage” to repubelickers
>Short answer
Yes, especially on the domestic front. There will be no wall
>Long answer
Maybe, there are many conservative democrats in the house who may cross party lines
You honestly have to be a retard of the highest order to want democrats in power with their current form. But i guess since they are all women and non whites they're retarded anyway.
>rural shitholes
>culture
Does not compute
>tech bro yuppies
an infinite improvement over the local cleti
>keep driving up housing prices
stop being poor
>congest our roads
start building public transportation
>and parks
nobody goes to parks anymore grandpa
>dilute & sterilize our local culture
not even going to bother discussing flyover “culture”
retard
how the fuck do we stop this though
all the shit with mitchsmugly blocking garland and everything obama tried has thrown us into a loop
if the dems don't block everything the republicans do they'll be retards and it'll have proven that the strategy of blocking-everything-until-it's-our-turn totally works and they should do it all the time
if the dems DO keep it going literally fucking nothing is going to get done ever lmao
cringe and redpilled
get fucked, stupid republishit
You're really fucking stupid. And you will never realize it.
