Payback

 I am hopeful that Joe Biden gets re-elected in November. Hopefully the jurors in New York make that more likely by affixing "convicted felon" to Trump's name. I also think he's going to look severely diminished in the debates with Biden - if he even shows. 

I am more sanguine about the House of Representatives. I think they flip it back to Democratic control. The Senate worries me, but the Republicans are nominating some real whack jobs and I think Dobbs will come into play in those elections perhaps more so than the presidential election, because of the weird thing where millions of Americans think Biden was responsible for Dobbs, because they don't understand how government works.

If Democrats win the Presidency, House and manage a tie in the Senate, then...phew.

However, in the long term, I think Democrats should be looking at some of their loose cannons and think about primaries or even re-districting them. Let's start with Rashida Tlaib. You don't get to effectively campaign against your party's presidential candidate - in this election no less - and get to keep any leadership positions. Come 2030, they should carve up her district, too. This is absolute bullshit. 

Frankly, the ideal result is that Trump craters once voters get another long look at him and the cognitive decline he's experienced. Dobbs and the general chaos of GOP congressional members gives the Democrats control of both Houses while the "progressive" left campaign against them.

Biden has been easily the most left wing president of my lifetime. He has embraced a TON of leftist positions, though obviously not all of them. They have not only not given him credit, they seem to be working against him. If Biden can return to power without them, then he can safely marginalize them for the next four years and give Harris or whomever a fighting chance without the luxury of going against Trump.
