If Republicans win control of the House or Senate tonight (or both) the main practical consequence is they will use the threat of a global economic collapse to try to force benefit cuts to Social Security and Medicare.

I wonder what percentage of voters know this?

Imagine if we took 50% of the coverage wasted on polling analysis and devoted it to reporting on the actual stakes of the election

I have to say this is the most frustrating thing about following politics. The horse-race journalism based on polling distorts so much of the discourse that it is hard for even really engaged people to sift out the real information that matters, like "what will this candidate/party do if they are elected?"
