The 2022 Midterms Are Essentially A Presidential Election

 Because of GOP assholes:

1⃣ The GOP, led by McConnell, will support Trump if he’s its 2024 nominee—as all polls say GOP voters will make him. 
2⃣ If the GOP has the Senate, it won’t hold hearings on any Democratic SCOTUS nom. 
3⃣ 2022 isn’t a midterm—it equates to a presidential election. 
IOW, the question of whether the GOP does or doesn’t hold Congress is the question of whether we have a democratic government. Anyone who thinks the 2022 election is a midterm is wildly off the mark: it’s the determination of the future of this nation and its democracy—full stop. 
Put yet another way, the GOP just announced that (a) it’ll back sedition if its voters do and (b) we don’t have a government—as to our judicial branch, at a minimum—during any period the GOP holds the legislative branch. This means *all* midterms are presidential elections, now. 
I strongly urge every Democratic voter to tell your friends and family that the 2022 election is functionally a presidential election. There can be absolutely no misunderstanding on this among Democrats; if you think what is coming in November is a “midterm,” STOP thinking that.

Leader McCarthy and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene both have some explaining to do about Jan. 6

 Both are awful, treasonous assholes.

On Thursday night, audio surfaced of McCarthy, during a call with other Republican leaders, pushing the idea that President Donald Trump should resign in the wake of the pro-Trump riot at the Capitol. McCarthy, who is angling to be speaker, earlier had denied a report that he did this. What will Trump have to say? 
We could find out today. Greene, meanwhile, is fielding questions about her role leading up to that day during a court hearing in Atlanta where activists are challenging her right to appear on the ballot this year. Early on, Greene declined to say whether unlawfully interfering with the counting of electoral votes in a presidential election would make someone “an enemy of the Constitution.”
