    “33 Senate Seats are on the ballot”

    LMFAO.

    Let me introduce you to Staggered Elections

    Only Maine’s seat is even winnable, the other ones up for relection in 2026 are all safe Blue or Safe Red states

    Currently its 53-47. Highly doubt that Dems can win 3 in Red States. (Unless we get a White Boi Hillbilly Revolution?)

    The House cannot block juidicial nominations.

    Judicial nominations are not subject to Filibuster.

    So…

    Not to be a pessimist, but…

    Looks like an uphill battle…

    😕

    Edit:

    Ask yourselves: Which of the red seats can Dems flip in 2026? (Grey ones are not up for election, only one seat is up for election per state due to staggered elections)

    Despite this, you should still go vote! But don’t get too excited. Its not safe until fascists are out of executive power.
