It is important that this election not be misinterpreted or misdiagnosed.

Why did the Democrats do so well?

Number one, it was likely because of the "women's freedom" issue, brought about by the Dobbs decision by the Supreme Court.

It was this issue that brought out the young voters and the women voters.

It will still be an issue in 2024. More states will probably put it on their ballots in 2024.

Number two, it was probably the issue of extremism and the survival of democracy? The "election deniers" lost across the board. Donald Trump's endorsements were worth 5-10 points for the Democrats opposing them. Democracy should still be on the ballot in 2024. The extremists are not going away anytime soon.

Number three, in my opinion, was the issue of guns and violence. Democrats did not promote the issue but many voters are sick and tired of the children being killed in our schools and so many assault weapons on our streets. The Democrats made a good start with their Gun Safety legislation but they need to do more.

There are other important issues to be addressed but the Democrats should attempt to stick to these three primary issues, in my opinion. It will win them a huge landslide in the next election.

Of 180+ candidates that Trump endorsed 9 of them lost.

[R]s didn't play a good hand at supporting various candidates for 'Reasons'...

It is important that this election not be misinterpreted or misdiagnosed.

Why did the Democrats do so well?

On one hand, it's looking like 2022 is shaping up to be an average midterm election. So there was no Red Tsunami.

On the other hand, in an average midterm election the party that occupies the WH loses something like 25 House seats and 3 or 4 Senate seats. That is nothing for Dems to celebrate. Further, that average midterm seats loss, in 2022, means the Dems will lose the majority in both houses of Congress (Kammie makes the Dems the majority party in the Senate). The Dems should be ruing this, as even the loss of one House will impede LIEden's worst plans, and the fact that the Dems are pretty much certain to lose the majority in the House shuts down Pelosiroo's partisan hijacking of investigatory authority (and Hunter and Joe better lawyer up!).

The Dems may have avoided electoral disaster, but midterm 2022 was not even a Pyrrhic victory. It was a defeat.

The sentiment of the DUmmy quoted in OP is a near guarantee that it will be misinterpreted and misdiagnosed by that same DUmmy.

We've already heard elsewhere that 'the dem policies are fine, it's their messaging that's bad', which is among the very first refrains when they lose.

Yet somehow it never seems to occur to them that their messaging sucks because their policies suck.

Blue tide, red wave, or red or blue <insert whatever> are just buzzwords. I do not recall anyone using those terms before 2018.

I would like to call this year a "red air freshener mist", but that would suggest it smells good.

Rush opened his show with the Beach Boys' Catch A Wave (And You're Sitting On Top Of The World) on the day after the 2010-midterms...  and 'wave' loosely became a relatively relevant readymade
