The good news is is to found in the democracy part of the election, ballot proposals. They have met with progressive successes. The best example is voters have overruled the insane drug war by another increment, and legalized cannabis in Oregon and Washington DC.
One thing is clear, if the people want representation they can forget it. They need to get active and do it on their own. The Republicans and Democrats have show us again and again they do not represent the American people. Only the American people can do this now.

Republicans Poised to Retain Control of the Senate
WASHINGTON—With
precincts reporting GOP victories in key midterm election races nationwide,
Beltway sources confirmed Tuesday that the Republican Party is poised to retain
its complete control of the U.S. Senate. “If current polling projections are
accurate, it appears as if Republican lawmakers will hold on to power in the
Senate chamber and will continue to steer the legislative agenda with little
resistance,” political analyst Michael Barone told reporters, noting that the likely
election results will preserve the GOP’s singular authority over the direction
of the Senate, allowing Republicans to go on stymieing judicial appointments,
derailing or neutering any legislation they oppose, and obstructing President
Obama at every turn.
“With the Senate still firmly under their control, Mitch
McConnell and his Republican colleagues will persist in refusing to cede an
inch of political leverage to their Democratic rivals and will continue
blocking Democratic initiatives just as they have been. Yet again, the GOP is
in prime position to carry on dictating the course of the upper house of
Congress.” Barone went on to say that Republicans would finally relinquish
control of the Senate only when Democrats captured the 100 seats they require
to govern.
