   We talk a lot about the White House but the House and Senate are up for grabs, too, and while Democrats have a fundraising advantage, predictions are currently that Republicans will take control of the Senate and possibly hold the House as well, which is extremely bad under any circumstances.

     @gwynnion "even worse" is an understatement. 😰

     On the one hand, this is to be expected.

     While abortion rights helped float Democrats in 2022, Biden is not popular and voters tend to flip control of the White House and/or Congress against the incumbent's party.

     But these are not normal times and Harris versus a GOP controlled Congress could be a nightmare. Trump having unified Republican control of government -- again -- would be even worse.

     I'm sorry for both of you. A terrible time to be. But don't give in to your despair. Not now, not yet. https://gnusocial.jp/attachment/1781b14372f153d5b1b12cb7e9fa552a616a415e47081ce6e92a6b7ecd3b0844/view
