It would be also the flipside of 2010 when the Republicans scored extremely well in House races but largely washed out in the Senate cycle. Races they had in the bag in Nevada and Delaware were botched by inept Tea Party candidates. The strange thing now is that polarizing Republican candidates are doing better than terrible in the Senate cycle but often getting their clocks cleaned in the House. Congressional districts are smaller and you would think more ideological but they've proven surprisingly resilient against this Stop the Steal rhetoric.

“Our ‘ *friend* ’ Susan Collins in Maine” 🤮

[@robertarmstrong3286]

I was thinking if we changed how we vote. The person or the issues…Promoting issue-oriented democracy requires a combination of structural changes and citizen engagement. Here are a few ideas that could help make democracy more focused on issues: 1. Enhanced public education: Invest in civic education to ensure citizens have a solid understanding of key issues, policies, and their implications. This will enable voters to make informed decisions based on the substance of the issues at hand. 2. Transparent campaign financing: Implement stricter regulations on campaign financing, ensuring transparency and reducing the influence of special interests. This can help prevent the distortion of issues and keep the focus on the merits of the policies being proposed. 3. Issue-based political campaigns: Encourage political parties and candidates to prioritize issue-based campaigns, where they outline their positions on key policy areas and present their plans for addressing those issues. This approach would help voters evaluate candidates based on their stance on important matters rather than their personal attributes. 4. Accessible information platforms: Establish user-friendly platforms that provide unbiased information on various issues, including pros and cons, potential consequences, and expert opinions. Such platforms could assist voters in understanding complex topics and making more informed choices. 5. Open dialogues and debates: Foster a culture of open dialogues and substantive debates among candidates, policymakers, and citizens. Encourage discussions that delve into the details of different proposals, allowing for contrasting viewpoints and critical analysis. 6. Participatory democracy: Explore mechanisms to enhance citizen participation in decision-making processes, such as public consultations, deliberative forums, and citizen juries. This can give individuals a direct say in shaping policies and ensure that their concerns and preferences are taken into account. By combining these approaches, we can shift the focus of democracy towards issues rather than personal attributes, empowering citizens to make choices based on their alignment with policy positions and the potential impact on society.

[@Mdebacle]

A simpler solution would be ranked voting.

All democrats have to do is have their incumbents win Montana & Ohio.... the Montana democrat has a 58% approval (5th most popular Senator in the nation) in that deep-red state. The ohio democrat is very popular too; honestly wish he'd run for President (Sherrod Brown). So that leaves Nevada which is a literal tossup where the democrat is the incumbent, and maybe Pennsylvania where the incumbent is a Democrat. Democrats more likely to lose Nevada than the other three, in my opinion.

[@tracymorgan5386]

They already had the senate race in Nevada in 2022 and the democrat won. I’m I missing something

[@Cubus-zapasowy]

The fact that Brown is popular doesn't mean he would win. J.D. Vance was a bad candidate and Tim Ryan was a pretty strong candidate, and Vance still won by 6%. Ohio has gone too much to the right in last years for Brown to prevail. Tester can prevail, because he's fairly moderate, but it mostly depends on who Republican candidate would be.

So yeah, Texas may very well be shooting itself in the foot while bragging about getting people from California. Florida is iffy due to how although it's been gradually going more Red, DeSantis has been causing a lot of problems to the point it may very well be pushing people to move away from the Republican party.

[@jasperjonkers3615]

West Virginia is gone. I believe that by now, Jim Justice is more popular even among Democrats than Joe Manchin. The only way for Dems to get something out of West Virginia is for Manchin to run for governor again instead of senate. However, Montana and Ohio are a different story I think. Jon Tester is still highly popular, and Montana is less then half as republican as West Virginia. People tend to see both as solid republican states, but there is roughly an equal gap between Montana and Michigan as there is between Montana and West Virginia. (20 points one way or the other). And in Ohio, although Tim Ryan didn't win in 2022, there was arguably a lot of ticket splitting between the governors and senate race, with Ryan losing by 6 points and Whaley by 25. One last one that I'm (relatively) optimistic about is Missouri. Of course Josh Hawley is the clear favourite, but I still see a path to that becoming competitive. Politics can be about one image, and if used relentlessly and continuously by the right candidate, that image of Hawley running through congress halls could do some damage. Texas and Florida on the other hand, I'd be less optimistic about. Since that one upset with Beto, democrats haven't really succeeded in making Texas competitive, and now the republicans guard is fully up there. And democrats suffered historic losses only a few months ago in Florida.

[@dvferyance]

@@BobPsomiadis Because the Founding Fathers weren't the geniuses we make them out to be? My idea is each state gets two senators. Each side gets to elect their own person. The power of each senator's vote is decided by how many people (percentage wise) vote Dem or Republican. So, a Democratic senator from California might have a vote of 1.3, while the Republican will have a vote of .7. Meanwhile a Democratic senator from Alabama will have a vote of 1.5, while the Dem senator will have a vote of .5.

I would throw Missouri in there as one to watch, I understand that Schmidt won in 2022 with 55% and Hawley narrowly won in 2018 with 51%, but Hawley v Lucas Kunce (hopefully he wins the Dem. Primary) could be considered a close race with how unlikable Hawley is in Missouri, of course he’ll have his core voters but I can’t imagine many moderates or independents likening him enough to vote for Hawley again, idk just my opinion/optimism I guess The Presidential race could also influence the senate race Trump v Biden it could be a closer Senate Race If it’s DeSantis v Biden, I think Hawley safely wins reelection

[@1250nick]

Hawley was against a Dem incumbent back in 2018, it's not gonna be anywhere near as close now that he's the one defending his seat against a relative unknown. Popularity doesn't mean that much in a safe state either, otherwise Mitch McConnell would be long gone. Closest seat the dems can hope for is Texas since it's becoming more of a swing state and Cruz was almost beaten last time.

Frankly, imo many Americans wonder why the Electoral College still exists. Voters are disenfranchised when millions more vote for one candidate, then the Electoral College choses the other. How is equal representation 2 Senators per State, when states like Wyoming have like 10 people who live there, and California has 40 million. That must change. We're a grown up country now. These rules were made in our infancy, and are so obsolete. I demand equal representation.

For better or worse, a bicameral legislature is like a speed limit on the highway - it’s designed to slow down the national debate. I can imagine times in American history where that’s helped and when it’s hurt. The Dems could easily take the House and Presidency. It seems to me like they will, especially if the Republican nominee is Trump for a third time. Probably looking at a divided legislature with Republicans having say over Dems appointments bc of the Senate.

There's no way Democrats would win Florida. Scott has +8 approval rating, and Florida has gone too far to the right in last years. Last year DeSantis won it by 19% and Rubio by 16%. And Cruz may underperform, but still there's little chance he would lose. He won even in 2018, that was a blue wave year and Democrats had a very strong candidate, and 2024 is gonna be a better environment for Republicans than 2018.

[@Cubus-zapasowy]

@@tylerkutschbach Blackburn last time won by 11%, this wasn't even close. How do you expect this race now to be competitive? Especially that it looks like that in 2024 she would perform better, because: 1. She's an incumbant. Incumbants always perform better, than when they are first elected. 2. 2018 was a Blue Wave Year and many Democrats overperformed. 2024 looks like a better environment for Republicans. The same with Howley - he defeated an incumbant (!) by a 6% in a Blue Wave year. And the next election looks better for Republicans. And I don't know why you consider Blackburn's win an upset. Republicans has held that Senate seat for almost 30 years and Tennessee is heavily Republican. I can understand Missouri - even thought it was a Red State since 2000, there was a Democratic incumbant. But Blackburn? Nothing suggested she would lose and in the end the election was not even close.
