WASHINGTON — House Democrats seemed to have gotten the message from Tuesday's elections: The political winds are not blowing in their favor....

...So far, roughly a dozen House Democrats have announced retirements or plans to run for a different office. But neither party expects that to be the end of the list.

Somebody said on my wife’s Facebook, “Vote Republican. They are worthless, undependable pissants. But the Democrats are insane, dangerous maniacs.” Easy choice.

So, dims quit when they get their asses kicked and are going to be out of power.

Repubs quit when they win all three branches because they might get something done.

Got it.

The headline should read House Democrats opt for retirement over getting clobbered in 2022.

If the Republicans take over Congress, people will have to put on the pressure to keep them from selling us out again.

The democrat taliban party is far from broke but that should be our goal as we eventually look to disband the entire party from existance.

It has a lot to do with keeping what is in their campaign coffers if they retire over losing... but either way, getting them gone is good.

At this point, in a two party system, you would think the American people would be running to the Republican party en masse. But that does not seem to be the case. I think I know why...

In 2018 there was a big wave of Republicans who announced their retirement and at the end of the day the Republicans retained the large majority of those seats. Most of these Democrat retirements are safe seats as well.
