I'm all for Dem wins. My prediction is they won't be able to do much, and get blamed for too much time on hearings, maga will ignore subpoenas and otherwise drag it all out. Dems get blamed for not fixing all the damage, since people ignore that they don't have the presidency, or enough majority in senate. Some people imply by comments in various places, that they think they can vote for president this election. If that's the lack of civic comprehension the voting public has, it's no wonder they flippantly swing back and forth and keep regressing with maga.
As usual. "fix everything in 24 months or we throw the bums back in".
Democrats actually have to do things.
Yep. And the Murc's Law Media gives a great big democracy-crushing assist with their bOtHsIdeS bullshit.
Republicans run the place, leave everything broken, in the ditch, and covered it all the poo they flung.
Democrats get back in, have a lot of backstabbers and feet-draggers, but don't have much of an edge anyway, and if they don't fix everything in mere months, the "liberal media" starts the drumbeat of how voters are having vibes about the economy being bad or whatever....
