The most shocking Senate result: Every incumbent won

Thanks for that.

I think we too often focus on R vs. D. I'm much more interested in the incumbency reelection number.

In 2020, it was 94.7% in the House and 83.9% in the Senate.
In 2018, 91% in the House, 84.4% in the Senate.
In 2016, 96.7% in the House, 93.1% in the Senate.

After what our government (both parties) have done to us over the last few years, I'd like to see that number under 80% in both chambers, but I find that incredibly unlikely.

To all the Blue vs. Red people, enjoy your horse race. But this is what I'll be watching.

Thanks for that. Here's the update charts: https://www.opensecrets.org/election...election-rates
94.5% in the House and 100% in the Senate.

But again, let's make sure that we remember that these elections are not decided upon the candidates running, or any platform stance, or anything of substance. They are decided based on the voting rules in each jurisdiction. More than anything else, that's what gives you the biggest advantage. And of course the voting rules are made by people who want to retain power.

For reasons mentioned earlier, we will not have a Sulla.

Perhaps an Elagabalus, then?

Dio says Elagabalus delighted in being called Hierocles's mistress, wife, and queen. The emperor reportedly wore makeup and wigs, preferred to be called a lady and not a lord, and supposedly offered vast sums to any physician who could provide him with a vagina.

That is only a matter of time at this rate.

When can we start electing horses to the senate?

(I am aware that Caligula was assassinated before the horse could be elected, but it was on the table. Electing animals would be an upgrade for this country.)
