Oh man, you have taken the black pill, kek. Q has emphasised many times what these resignations mean. No, they are not leaving because they can be replaced by "strong candidates". Most of these are probably entrenched in their seats for years and have the election system all under their control. Also, these are not the generous folks who would kindly step away right when their guy got the historic number of votes, just to potentially help the party. These are the people who have no choice but to leave.
I was making a general observation about own personal experience playing the real game of Risk. If you appear too strong. Your opponents will stomp you ruthlessly.
Mario Kart strategy: hang out in the 2 or 3 spot as 1st will get hit hardest by Blue Shells and 1st place seeking power ups. Then 2 and 3 can swoop in for 1st.
This post actually makes sense what you're trying to say. If you said this at the start instead of snark, you'd probably had more support for your original comment.
I completely agree with you btw, congressmen not seeking reelection is actually typical per cycle. What I thought was interesting was the fact that mainstream news is making it seem like it's bad for Dems.
Only when playing Risk in the middle game.

Did you actually read the entire article?
Probably just read the title.
Meaning dems are actually strong and just appearing weak right now?
That expression doesn't hold up 100% I've noticed ;)
Except for the fact that they are losing, doomer. NeXt!
Wrong. Incumbents have a major advantage. That advantage is gone.
