I mean, there were more than 10 midterms since 1946... there's 8 bellow that that aren't displayed. 

I see Carter, Kennedy, and Bush Sr. are missing as far as first midterms go. Wonder how they compare?

... that was a "top 10" list ... so draw your own conclusions lol

Democratic congressional candidates got about nine million more votes. Yes, that is how well the republican gerrymandering works. You can get more votes, and stil lose.

Senate popular vote:
Democrats: 40,558,262 (55.4%)
Republicans: 31,490,026 votes (43.0%)
Senate seats: Republicans +3

the Senate DOESN’T represent the will of the people.

Not everything that favors Republicans is gerrymandering.  Senate races are statewide.  Some of the state lines were drawn due to weird political influences, but none of them can be laid at the feet of modern Republican gerrymandering.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
