Democratic joy at defeating Donald Trump was partially dulled by the simultaneous diminishment of the party’s House majority. As of Sunday at least 11 Democratic-held House seats have been lost to Republicans (while Democrats have flipped three others). That’s the biggest net loss in a presidential election year by the winning presidential candidate’s party in 60 years.
The unexpected divergence in the two results sparked a round of reciprocal recriminations between the House Democratic caucus’ moderate and left-wing factions. Moderates blamed the “defund the police” sloganeering and “socialist” branding from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her supporters, which Republicans deployed in swing district attack ads. Ocasio-Cortez shot back by claiming moderate incumbents ran musty campaigns with minimal investment in digital media.
Who’s right? Who deserves the lion’s share of the blame?
Before answering, let’s first challenge the premise that there is lots of blame to go around. If Democrats lost voters they could have and should have won, that would be cause for affixing blame. But if Republicans showed up in big numbers, there’s not much Democrats can do about that.
Considering 2020 produced the largest eligible-voter turnout percentage (66.4%) in 120 years, one can reasonably conclude that both parties did all they could to motivate their bases. For any Democrat trying to win on Republican turf, a high turnout election produces a stiff headwind.

the Democratic party is the party of Demons.
I'm sorry to have to agree but I do think you are correct.
The Democrats lost more members from the House if you find all the ballots that were stolen from President Trump you will see a very large gain for Republicans. This is a fraud election and AG Barr should do his job and defend the Constitution of the United States. I will never accept this idiot as my president.
That's even more proof that Trump wins the election as well. I don't know anyone who doesn't vote Republican up and down. How could the best president in our lifetime not win when Republicans are doing so well in the house and in the senate?
With respect Paul ... this election is not over yet ... many cards yet to be played.
The election is over. It was a fraud with a phony deemed as the winner.
Now the hide the fraud game is on, and the effort to reveal it is ongoing.
The justice system are the only idiots supposedly waiting to be convinced of the obvious. AG Barr is parked in his office like a turtle sunning himself on a log. Durham is off in the weeds investigating something or other, spending money, trying to generate a report with more pages than a Chicago phone book, revealing only that a lowly floor sweep failed to use a clean mop bucket.
If this does end up in the Supreme Court you can safely bet that Chief justice Roberts is right now writing his convoluted opinion in favor of Biden.
Martial Law... would by-pass the corruption in the Federal Judiciary... and the Turmpster can shut down normal broadcast and cable news using the emergency broadcast system to present all the evidence of fraud directly to the people... thus, controlling the news narrative and silencing the MSM's propaganda.
Should a Federal Judge including the SCOTUS ignore or fail to admit the evidence of election fraud... Trump could have the Judge arrested for obstructing justice or sedition. Should any Judge issue an order to set aside the President's Martial Law order, the offending Justice could be arrested and sent to GITMO to await trial for obstruction of justice.... which may take years.
Pres. Lincoln arrested a Supreme Court Justice and had him removed using a Presidential Arrest Warrant... he also arrested over 14K individuals, members of congress, state government officials, and members of the press, for various charges of treason, sedition, insurrection, etc. all using Presidential Arrest Warrants. Pres. Trump needs to take a page from Lincoln and issue thousands of Presidential Arrest Warrants.... like yesterday.
