They went full Democrat. It was theirs to lose, and they did.

Let's remember that while it's being called a sweep, it's still relatively tied. Get about 20-30 more progressives in the House, get 2/3 of the Senate. Get not only a Democrat President, but one that is more left and visionary about making things better for the nation and the world's people. That's a sweep. This is currently just a changing of the guards with some potential to make a few better decisions while they have watch.

    Exactly. If Democrats had taken more than 2/3rds of the house and senate opening up the possibility to ignore vetos and actually get a conviction on impeachment, then it would have been a sweep. This was definitely a Democrat victory as they got a majority of both chambers of congress, but it was not an overwhelming victory. It's a sign that there's some hope left, but there is still a lot that can go wrong and there's a ton that's going to be need to be done over the next couple years and it will still be an uphill battle the whole way.
