No, the 2022 midterm elections will not be about Afghanistan, but that doesn’t mean the situation won’t matter.

It’s time to stop attacking candidates for losing a previous race. It’s just silly and ignores history. The partisan and glib attacks aren’t predictive of anything and ignore dozens of examples of candidates who lost before winning.
