News agencies are calling this a historic blowout, but from an external onlookers perspective, isn't this really close?

    It's still too close, but that's just how our (shitty) system works. Most seats aren't going to flip. Alabama will always vote Republican and California will always vote Democrat, so our focus is really only on the close races.

    We gained 25 seats in the House, seven in the Senate and five governors. That's a huge swing.

    What about when CA was red mere decades ago? Always? Things flip and change and come and go.

    If Dems don't cater to the working class, angry disenfranchised people will continue voting out of frustration.
