You guys earned it. It's been mostly Dem victories for the past 8 years (yeah, 2010 was a big wave but there were a lot of GOP f(inks)-ups that year too). Politics is give and take.

Except Dems seem to have a weird structural disadvantage when it comes to state legislatures. That hasn't changed since the 1990s.

That can be chalked up to the fact that the Democrats have become the party that cares about urban areas, and there is a persistent and disgusting bias against urban areas in American politics that dates back since forever– a bias that, due to a combination of cultural factors and the vagaries of geography, is strongest and most damaging at the state level.  (Though it exists all up and down the ladder.)

Anyway, sorry for the derail.  Congrats, blue avatars.
