Democrat should do what Republicans have done for the last four years and make sure absolutely fucking nothing happens in government. Then, four years from now, run a presidential campaign on how ineffective Trump was.

It worked for the Republicans this year, why not the Democrats in four?

4 years of absolutely nothing would be a godsend for Trump. If he got nothing done in 4 years he would be looking at a minimum of 2 years of a good stock market from the economic tailwind of Biden policies that two more years of stagnation wouldn't erase. You would then be looking at president Vance with an election that makes this look like minor leagues.

Not to mention, Trump voters aren't going to hold him accountable regardless.

If you want anyone left of MAGA to care, you'd be hoping he gets his stuff passed so people can see what they voted for.

They don't have a majority

Well it seems to be that the Democrats are pro-institution and are fine with most of what the Republicans do.

Democrats netted one seat in the House

so much for that 'historic' landslide bullshit they've been trying to sell.

how much to buy off 3-4 house republicants? someone should start a crowdfunding campaign.

I mean they won all 7 swing states and the Senate, and in return have a slightly weaker majority in the house. It's not a historic landslide, but they're in a very strong position for the next two years.
