You are right, this is possible.
I told the voters in 2010 to add more Dems to the House and Senate, so they could do more for the people. The American economy *needed* more economic stimulus. The $800 b was just a down payment, for example. And Lieberman was blocking things in the Senate unto Kennedy died and a Repud replaced him. So, Obama needed 2 more Senate seats.
. . . The voters did agree with me and voted the Repuds in to punish the Dems for failing to act. Of course, this didn't solve the people's problems, it just let the Repuds hurt them more.
I've been telling the voters to stop voting for Repubs and then in 1998 Repuds since 1979. They keep thinking that punishing the Dems will get the them (the people) more good outcomes. IMHO, their plan has been a dismal failure.
. . . Lately, starting 18 months ago, I have called for mass demonstrations of progressives in the streets to meet & exchange contact info, and show the nation just how many progressives there are. That didn't happen and now the primaries have started so it is way too late. We can only vote for the progressives in primaries and then the Dem in the general election.
Because the voters plan to punish the Dems by voting Repud instead of voting progressive has been a total failure, I hope the voters will wake up and follow my plan I'm not holding my breath.
So, you may be right, but if you are climate change will (certainly, beyond all doubt) end civilization when grain can't be grown at sufficient scale, and may even drive humans extinct over the next 100 to 150 years. [A tiny few descendants of the rich may survive that long, but no longer.]

REmember, even if democrats win, lots of election officials are going to declare the elections fraudulent and not certify. It already happened last week in New Mexico. It will happen on a much larger scale. The authoritarian play has been laid out already. The conclusion is inevitable. America is on the path to shit hole country status.
