House Democrats returned to Washington this week licking their wounds after a demoralizing election performance and seeking ways to cool simmering internal tensions heading into the next Congress.
After predicting big gains to pad their majority, the party suffered the loss of at least 10 sitting members, with several more expected, and failed to knock off even a single Republican incumbent - something that was virtually unthinkable heading into Nov. 3.
The disappointing results have sparked an internal reckoning, one that has featured moderates blaming liberals for botching the party’s message; liberals pushing back in defense of efforts to energize the progressive base; and lawmakers of all stripes growing increasingly frustrated that the post-election finger-pointing has spilled into public view.
**SNIP**
The political fallout, though, has been more immediate.
Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chair Cheri Bustos (D-Ill.) fell on her sword after her party’s poor showing and said she would not seek a second term leading the campaign operation. But Pelosi, 80, also has been taking some incoming fire, even as no one has mounted a challenge against her as she seeks another term with the gavel.
Freshman centrist Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.), who won her tough reelection fight by less than 4 percentage points, told Politico she would not back the Speaker for another two-year term and called for “new leadership” in the party. And a handful of other moderates have told The Hill they, too, want to see Pelosi gone.

They'll really flip out after discovering that Gropin' Joe actually finished in second place.
Unity.
Democrats lost and didn’t think they’d need to stuff ballots in every race.
The Democrat Party has always been a coalition of coalitions. Disparate groups banded, together each to get power for themselves at the expense of others.
That type of organization will eventually implode........................
They'll really flip out after discovering that Gropin' Joe actually finished in second place.
Even if Joe ends up being president, the FACT remains that, democrats needed to cheat to get him there.
IOW, their message and agenda, are not working with the people, so, cheating is the only way for them to stay in power.
After smug House Dems predicted big gains, they suffered the loss of at least 10 sitting members w/ several more expected.

This was an error Fox News wont ever live down:
On election night, Fox News' Decision Desk projected
Democrats would expand their majority by at least five seats.
If MSM/tech-oligarch/Democrat/swamparty succeeds in this coup - 2022 mid-terms will be the mother of all push-backs. Correction: THE MOTHER OF ALL PUSH-BACKS!!! And we will be watching every crooked urban “counting center” like a hawk. We will be watching for ANY suspicious activity - so cheaters are on notice.
I disagree. If the Democrats get away with this, the infrastructure that made the steal possible in 2020 will be stronger in 2022 and 2024.
I see no reason why they’d stop cheating, and I see no reason to think the GOP will spring into action to keep them honest in two and four years when they won’t do it now.
If the Democrats get away with this, the infrastructure that made the steal possible in 2020 will be stronger in 2022 and 2024.
It's all about the ballot harvesting, tens of thousands of votes that way.
Yeah don’t worry America, Democrats are divided. They won’t unify on all their key strategies now like they have historically 100% of the time. Now go back to sleep you have nothing to worry about.
Nazzi will be the next president on Jan 20.
Russia. Reds vs the Whites. The more lethal Reds took power.
The old guard is just that and the new democrats will kill for power.
