I don't think these are overreactions AT ALL.
I was planning on writing an essay about how the democratic party is broken and aimless and incapable of winning state government races, the house, and the senate IF WE WON...
...let alone after the result we got, where Democrats are shut out of all three branches for the first time since the 1930s, not to mention completely decimated at the state level outside of a few extremely blue states.
I don't understand this, and I've been hearing it a lot. Weren't Democrats similarly shutout in 2003-07?
Also 1953-1954, but just barely there.
