If Democrats lose the majority in the US Senate in 2022, 2028 will be the year they get it back.

2022- Democrats will lose AZ,GA,and NV and fail to pick up FL,NC,OH,PA,and WI. Democrats will end up with 47 seats in a worst case scenario.
2024- Sinema(AZ) and Manchin(WV) are the most vulnerable. Democrats lose both and end up with 45 seats.
2026- Democrats hold onto GA(Ossoff-D),MI(Peters-D),and MN(Smith-D) and pick up NC. Democrats will have 46 seats.
2028- Democrats will win back
NV(Aaron Ford-D)
PA(Austin Davis-D) incoming PA Lieutenant Governor if Josh Shapiro-D becomes Governor.
WI(Josh Kaul-D)
AZ(Katie Hobbs-D)
GA(Stacy Abrams-D)

Our democratic republic is on life support now and requires extraordinary measures to even have a chance of surviving in 2023, especially if the GQP gains control. Based on our current trajectory, it'll flatline long before 2028. I appreciate your optimistic handicapping, but that would be more realistic in a bygone era when there was a degree of sanity and civility. That chapter of our history officially ended when Traitor Don and his motley horde of MAGAtts gained control of our political system.

There will be no going back to “normal” after that. The game will officially be over.

Just speak to needs versus stripping rights away. That is the difference this year.

1) Truth about our history.

2) The right to vote. Especially when the popular vote is meaningless. (How many know this?)

3) Privacy regarding our private lives.

4) Energy Independence for a healthy future with green jobs.

The voting quagmire is just beginning and in my opinion, will wreak havoc for many elections in the future since our team hasn’t been able to pass the voting rights bill. Our only hope is to remain in control of both houses, get rid of Manchin and Sinema, and get serious about prosecuting the most dangerous deranged president that this country has ever had, as well as passing vetting requirements that will diminish the ability of pure stupid idiots from being elected to office.
